You were spot on about not needing lots of power for touring. I like to chill & relax when touring and enjoy the scenery. This bike seems ideal for that. Btw John Banks is my local dealership.
a great review thank you. I was thinking of a BMW 1250Adventure, but the cost is prohibitive and to be honest I am getting to old to push/lift heavy bikes. Your honest review has me now looking more seriously at the Honda, which i had considered and then dismissed. I test rode the BMW, my first experience of the quick shifter facility and loved it. Yes it was snatchy in the lower gears, but I found using QS in 3rd 4th 5th it was a real benefit and if you say the Hondas quick shifter is one of the best I think this is the bike for me. I'll speak to my Honda dealer next week.
Can you describe how this quickshifter works? Only up or up / down? Because it is different with motorcycles. How with the precision of operation? Do the gears come in without resistance? Good or average. It's nice that you have such a bike, because everyone rushed to test DCT and there are no tests with a manual gearbox anywhere. Thank you in advance for your answer.
Hello. It works up and down. It’s one of the best quickshifters I have used. It’s very good. Not to much effort to change gear. I would definitely recommend buying one. Thanks for watching 😬👍
I'm not sure I got from this if the quickshifter was smooth at low speeds, something that is pretty typical. And if you've tried the S1000GT's quickshifter, which *everyone* is crazy about, and how it might compare. I'm looking at the SX, 1000GT, and the NT. In the US, here, it looks like it'll take about 3-4 months before we see inventory in any of them, and confirmation the NT will even be brought here! Thanks for the review!
Hello. The Quickshifter is excellent and great at low speeds to. It’s definitely one of the best quickshifters. I have done a review on the Kawasaki SX and the Suzuki GT. They are all fantastic bikes. They are on my channel. Please take a look. Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for another fine review. I'm really enjoying your no-nonsense reviews that get right to the point. Interesting, when viewed against your Suzuki GXS-1000 GT vs Kawaski 1000SX review. Those two bikes more sports-tourers with more emphasis on the sports, with the Kawa friendlier for touring, if I remember. The Honda looks like a beautiful tourer. 710 PS for the top box seems like a lot. Is that typical? I know you said you preferred the Suzuki for yourself. If you could have any of the three, would the Honda tempt you?
Hello. Nice to know you like the videos thanks. That price is for the top box the inner bag and the tank bag. It is a lot of money but it’s genuine stuff. Just to say all three bikes are fantastic. It all depends on how you are going to use them. If you do long trips away like a week or two then then the Honda would be best. If you just go away for a few days and you like a sporty ride at the weekend then the Kawasaki or Suzuki would be best. Personally I like V twin engine’s. That’s why I have a Ducati Multistrada 950 and a KTM 1290 Super Duke R 😬👍
I think I can hear that this sounds more like riding a motorczcle than the DCT videos I watched ... just a little bit more engaging ... who needs extra driving modes for the gearbox just for that the bloody thing still needing a little help to find the right gear.
@@itchingtoride wonderful, I’m down in Surrey but your roads look fabulous as does the NT1100. I’ve got an NC750S, thinking of chopping it in for something larger.
I'm in the states and am very interested in this bike. Hoping it will be here soon. The dealers here aren't able to compare part # since they don't have info on the NT1100. Would you mind asking your parts guys if these bikes share the same lowering link ?
Hello. It has Apple CarPlay. It connects to your phone and it uses the apps off your phone. I was using my TomTom app. Was my first time using CarPlay. It’s very good 👍
The only bit I talk and there’s music is the first 18 seconds. That’s called the intro. If you think the video is that bad you need to give it a thumbs down you do that.
Finally a review with out DTC, thanks, everybody else is has been pour down of my throat DTC. I hate DTC, thanks men.

Thanks. Maybe pop in and treat yourself 😉
Tried it out, NC on steroids 🤣
I test ride this one in this clip👍
@@joerudniski9390 Hello. What did you think of it.
@@itchingtoride I bought a NC 750x from them last year, I love The NT, I've got my name down for a ex demo👍
Proper Japanese workhorse..Nice review from your good self..✌️
Thanks mate 😬👍
Cannot wait for it to come to the US... finger crossed.

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the test ride 👍
Nice to see a review with a quick-shifter, we are all DCT’d out at this stage! Looks like they made a good one.

I love those roads, where are you riding?
Hello. I am in the UK. Suffolk area 👍
@@itchingtoride wonderful, I’m down in Surrey but your roads look fabulous as does the NT1100. I’ve got an NC750S, thinking of chopping it in for something larger.
@@steviejd5803 If your looking to tour it will be ideal 👍
Not the best looking bike but sounds like a good option for a sensible tourer 👍🏼
Yes mate. Sensible bike with great comfort and Honda reliability 👍
It looks a notch better in black, and I think the looks will wear quite well over the years.
Do you think a Africa Twin lowering link will fit on this?
It probably would. I would call Honda and see if they both had the same part number for the standard link.
I'm in the states and am very interested in this bike. Hoping it will be here soon. The dealers here aren't able to compare part # since they don't have info on the NT1100. Would you mind asking your parts guys if these bikes share the same lowering link ?
Is it stable until top speed?
I took it up to about 80 mph and had no problems.
Rode it. Can check. Feels planted. :)
Is that gps built into the gauge or is it a add on
Hello. It has Apple CarPlay. It connects to your phone and it uses the apps off your phone. I was using my TomTom app. Was my first time using CarPlay. It’s very good 👍
It offers a complete package. I rode it and l like it a lot. Can check my video. By the way, well done. You got my like.
p.s. Very comfy indeed.
Manual is the best, do not touch the DCT..a horrible mutation.
I have given a thumb down to your video, because of that loud music which suppress your voice. Such a loud, nasty music.
The only bit I talk and there’s music is the first 18 seconds. That’s called the intro. If you think the video is that bad you need to give it a thumbs down you do that.
