I'm buying a new 2023. The DCT fucking ROCKS Man! So much fun accelerating and the thing handles really well with the weight being so low. I love the storage and the brakes are Awesome! This is one seriously underrated motorcycle. I have a 1200 Sportster but I'm buying this to commute and do some touring on👍
I haven't seen a good review of an NC yet... Have 20k on my 2020 DCT and it is hardly the boring bike always depicted in these reviews. In sport mode it walks away from any other bike aside from crotch rockets looking to race. I've embarrassed many Harley riders with Screaming Eagle mods. I wish these "pros" would take their job seriously.
Yeah this bike gets so much online hate from people who don’t understand it and have never ridden one. Par for the course. Fine by me bc it keeps prices down and you don’t often see them. But it’s a very popular choice in the rest of the world.
@@muhammadaliclay8976 not sure your point? People watch these reviews to help them decide what bike to buy. I'm calling this one out for not being accurate in it's description of acceleration.
I picked up a 2020 leftover NC750X Manual version this past June and absolutely love the bike. The gas mileage is awesome ride is comfortable once you change out that brick of a seat but other than that she is a keeper.
The only people who get this bike are those who own one and those who want to own one. The NC is as underrated or unappreciated as a bike can be, and it’s widely misunderstood, especially in the US market. It’s a worldwide best-seller for a reason. The NC has its own charm and it grows on you. You don’t have to like it, but maybe show it a little respect.
Many people only hate it because it is a big bike but has the DCT transmision with an engine that doesnt rev past 6700 rpm and thats the reason its not a "real" motorcycle... or so they say
I own a 2015 NC700X it rated one of the worst bikes. Now mine is manual shift but you hit it saying misunderstood!! These are great do everything bikes!!!
I have owned an NC750 for thousands of trouble free miles. In my opinion, if they made it with cruise control and shaft drive it would be the consummate motorcycle.....
@@edsmith1083 I only tried the DCT Honda as I had just test ridden a Versys 650 and the dealer offered a ride on the NC to give me a comparison. I was completely sold within a few hundred yards. These bikes are so forgiving, so easy to ride, and the fuel economy is incredible. I'm lucky enough to have a few other bikes, but the NC is my 'go to' machine...
Just got my big bike license so went from CBF 500 to 750 and it's cool , yeah it's not a racer but I've to be at work for 6 in morning in cold wet UK weather and this bikes perfect apart from hiss imobeliser
So many well thought out things on this bike. I missed whether it was ride by wire, though, because if it is, then there is absolutely no excuse for no cruise control! With all the storage, it's perfect for those extended weekends a couple hundred miles from home.
Yes it’s RBW but Honda’s market research and talking to owners determined that they don’t use cruise control. It’s a commuter not a tourer. Still, it could have been easily added using the same right hand control pod as the Rebel 1100 (the left is already identical). But Honda has their bean counters like everyone else.
Honda loves to not include the cruise control. There are RBW Africas w/o a cruise control, it's just an arbitrary anti-feature. I can't think of a bike where I wouldn't find use for a cruise control, I would even use it on my enduro, if it had it.
I have a 2014 NC700 DCT. The most common complaints are the lack of dual disc brakes and cruise control. But as he points out in the last minutes of the video, that ultimately adds to the price of the bike. I tour on mine and frankly after putting on a $10 Cramp Buster I’m fine with out the cruise. I have no discomfort with riding for 6 to 7 hours straight using the Cramp Buster. The seat to peg distance he mentions is a problem for tall riders. I am 6’2” with a 34” inseam and it was pretty uncomfortable after an hour of riding. Then I replaced pegs with a aftermarket peg that drops it 40mm and that made all the difference in the world.
If the side bags are included for that price then I'd say it's good value. I routinely ride a CBR500R on 300 to 400 mile trips and the only comfort mods I've installed was a double bubble windscreen and a throttle lock.
@@drewmorg. There were not many 2021 DCT available. They sold out quickly. I see several 2022 DCT available now. It’s a difficult market in which to go discount hunting.
@@mindspinn311 Agree! But I think if I were to buy a motorcycle today I would rather buy new because the value of used bikes is nearly the same as a new one. Although I do see some really lofty used prices that sit for 4+ weeks on the various sites.
As soon as I hired ADV 750 in Madeira Portugal for five days I wanted to buy it. But I wanted style so went for the Forza 750 with DCT (NSS750) which apparently is not available in the USA. Traded in my BMW R1200RT. What I like about the manual mode is that you’ve changed down then want auto you’ve slowed down auto will change so it won’t labour the engine. Also ordered the central locking top box. I absolutely Love it.
Not a fan of its looks but I am very interested in the DCT and the ‘trunk’ where the fuel tank normally goes. I think it would make a great commuter especially in areas where lane filtering is not legal so you’re stuck in traffic a lot and automatic would make sense. I wish that Honda would put a DCT in the sports bikes too with smooth inline fours. I know they got quick shifters but automatic would be sweet too. Aren’t all supercars these days automatic as well?!
Was kicking this around but went with an ATAS ES but still wonder if this would have been a good one for commuting. Love the Frunk! Just wish they would have kept the funk tie downs!!
I have a 2018 manual variant. Today I got 72mpg on the freeway and twisties. I only get the kind of mileage you reported (53 to 58) when I go stoplight to stoplight in town.
I have a 2021 version with the Honda optional 'touring' screen. I have a deflector fitted and it's perfect. There is a Honda recall for a snatchy fly by wire throttle, it works. The panniers are $750 trade price, ok in the market comparable to other manufacturers. I have fitted lowered footrests as I found the riding position a little cramped together with an air seat, now perfect (I'm only 5'10") The DCT is much better than my 2016 Crosstourer.
I have the 2022 one (same look)..... it looks alot better in person. I agree when i saw it online, it was kinda meh, but in person its way better. At least in my opinion.
For me part of the enjoyment in riding is the high revving nature of motorcycle engines, I'm sure it's great as transport and some people will love it for that, but it's not what I'm looking for in a motorcycle.
It's just a motor tuned for torque down low instead of up high. It's a blast to ride, the powerband is always within range, I don't have to keep kissing the redline just go to faster.
I own an Aprilia Mana 850 and tbh never understood why being an overall better motorcycle than the Honda - more HP, better brakes, better forks, better design (eg the helmet space opens towards the driver, which is way more practical in tolls, etc) - it was a nevertheless a failure for Aprilia and Honda was the one that ultimately profited from the idea. Probably was too expensive atm and due to Aprilia's poor servicing network in the US. I use my Mana mostly on manual mode and shift gears with the buttons and it's the best thing ever, absolutely smooth and flawless. Once you get used to the sequential electronic shift, the pedal feels agricultural, no way back for me. Anyway, the new Honda NT1100 could be an upgrade, but it only provides around 20 more HP than my Aprilia and no helmet space, which is truly practical. I wish they had gone for 120HP to have a real upgrade path without losing the DCT.
Can you get the foot shifter so in manual mode you can click the shift with your foot instead of hand switches? I know they have that option in Europe.
Yes, it's not a listed factory option though. Search on Google, think it's talked about on the Nc700 forum. The shift lever is just a switch not a direct gearbox connection. Bit expensive though.

The gas mileage is one of the biggest things of this bike 2000 miles for like 100$ even with gas prices today and you could just have fun on it in the Twisties or around town
I want to love these, but I think I'm 2-3 inches too tall to be comfortable. Peg to saddle height it a little cramped for me at 6'1". I'm apparently the most fragile 40 ish year old with cranky hips that can't tolerate more compact rider triangles.
@@bangbang93i That works for a few momwnts when I need to stretch out, but you can't ride around like that all the time. If the reviewer in the video is 5'7" and complained about the footpegs being cramped, it's clearly a characteristic of the bike. It's good for those with shorter inseams, so definitely not knocking it. There's a number of bikes like that which are less than ideal for taller folks and that is why I have gravitated towards dual sport and ADV bikes because they are more comfortable for me.
@@MasterGamer4Eva oh for sure! I’m not disappointed. I actually traded in my 2017 R6 for it too. I no longer wanted a crotch rocket and wanted something more practical. So I paid very little out of pocket. No loan was needed.
That’s the upgrade. Look at the previous generation display. It’s actually pretty decent in person. Honda is doubling down on high clarity LCD and only using TFT on its more expensive bikes.
As a previous gen nc750x dct owner, highly disappointed. Lower bike, minor upgrades to dash, especially compared to two other 2021 models, the xadv and forza750. Single disc is not enough! Especially with pillion and gear. Bike got lowered and compacted, but they still kept the X on... all in disappointment.
You can use the shift buttons on auto mode as well... you need to do your homework better. These kind of stuff are very important in these kind of bikes.
Thanks for the review MG. Two things occurred to me: $800 is a lot for a motorbike DCT, and what power does it produce? I looked at the terrible Honda website and found it's 43kW which is about 58hp. This may vary depending on locale I suspect.
I don't get the capability argument at all. Yes I like it, takes the rider one more step away from the noise and hassles of shifting, but I don't see any extra capability besides the faux-tank trunk storage, which is a lot by itself, but besides that, it's only a way to get from point A to B which any motorcycle is capable of. I do think it is going to have longer reliability due to the low revving, essentially half a 4 cylinder Honda car engine, and is what the future of ICE motorcycles is going to be, but ultimately it is not especially capable, just a quieter, more sedate cruiser/standard hybrid that you don't have to shift. The funny thing is that I think Honda went in the wrong direction, by only increasing engine displacement when I feel there would be more interest in a lighter chassis, 400cc-500cc version for those who just do shorter commutes, aren't looking to take it on long road trips. Get it down under 400lbs and maybe up the fuel economy closer to 70MPG, and of course, a lower retail price which is very critical for beginner riders. I see a 500cc version of this, ideal for new riders, except that they still need to learn to clutch/shift if they hope to move on later. Despite what I wrote above, I very much see the NC750X as a top coice, competent everyday commuter for people who live in utopia where it never rains or snows, and don't want the extra burden of shifting but do want the reliability of a low revving Honda engine.
@@mindspinn311 500 and 750x aren't dual sports. And yamaha mt03 weighs 370lb and the reviews don't mention any stability problems. I'm just saying 500x can't weigh same as tenere 700 when the latter has a bigger engine and better everything
You complained about not being able to shift yourself and then told us about the manual button and shifting yourself. Other mistakes too. I know I have one.
Just stay away from the nc 750 dct . It stalls Honda finally has recalled it after injured happened in Europe and Asia . I ended selling mine back to the dealer .
I don't like that motorcycle. If I wanted to ride a two wheel automatic I would ride a scooter which I am riding right now. For a motorcycle I love to change gears, and feel the clutch.
@@mindspinn311 You know what this will lead to? Just like the cars from the good ole days where most of them were manual. People got lazy when the automatic came out for the cars, and now look at today. There's only small amount of manual in cars now. The new BMW Supra is auto, the GTR is auto, and I think most of these exotics are freaking auto with paddle shifters that is so freaking boring. I just hate to see motorcycles go this route. Scooters one thing, but making a motorcycle into an auto is where it will begin in decline of manuals. That's what I feel.
@@ilive4d80s6 Virtually impossible. The automatic motorcycle was once before a failure, by Honda, and is only made viable again by their patented technology. No other two wheel manufacturer had an interest. Automatics will only get so many people riding. Most of those kind of people are terrified of motorcycles. It will be a niche technology until electric eventually replaces internal combustion.
I've been riding for 30+years. Bought this bike with the dct and will never go back to a manual. It's that nice. Squeezing fingers and wiggling toes isn't as manly as people like to pretend lol
@@filobetobaby Manly?! You go by looks? You know what I ride. I ride a little 300cc bike which right now I could only afford, but I still enjoy the ride. I don't care what people says about me riding a 300cc bike being that I am 350 lb man. I only ride for the enjoyment. I only ride for the ride and part of that is experiencing all that a bike can be when you have total control shifting gears manually is the way to go, and it's fun for me. I'm glad you have it your way in an automatic bike but this trend is going to destroy the manual just like it did with cars. Just like all the sports car from the BMW supra, Nissan GTR, and all of lamb's going toward auto/eshifters. It just got boring! Automatics are made for work, and boring transportation. I ride a little 150 scooter everyday for work oh, and most of the time if I don't be a adventurous on it I would fall asleep on the Wheel. Automatic is only good for that and nothing more. Shifting gears manually with a clutch is pure fun. Most people that get automatic are freaking lazy. Yesterday I put in a new clutch lever on my little bike. I swear the controls gotten so smooth. I bought that bike used from a private owner oh, and he said that he dropped it once but it was on a standstill. It wasn't that bad the fairings on the side cracked a little bit. The clutch broke on the tip oh, but it still works. Ever since I bought it last year like it is and wrote it with the broken lever clutch I just got used to it but when I replaced it to yesterday man it Shore Drive smooth. I want to go riding more today but I got to work and after work my wife want to go to the casinos if I meet my goal. I'm not really shooting for it because I am so slower Tire today. She might not care and just take me to the casinos and we could eat buffet. I thought I was going to work in the morning but I just I'm so tired I'm just going to do the afternoon shift. I need to take a day off so I could ride somewhere. I want to take that route going towards Hattiesburg I know it's a two-hour Drive I just can't do that I'm just going to do part of it just see the sites. I don't mind driving to Hattiesburg if I had enough money to eat out there. The only reason why I want to go to Hattiesburg route it's because when I used to work for a medical company I used to drive there a lot toward hospitals and what not to deliver medical equipment. Now that I'm out of that field I just want to drive around there little towns and just see the sights. I don't know if I could ride couple hours I think my Max stamina on a bike right now since I'm almost 400 lb it's like 45 minutes 2 an hour. Today's it said on the Weather Channel it should get a little warmer. I don't know if I should wear a jacket when I'm on my little scooter I'm usually hot. I also got some new motorcycle gloves from motorcycle shop that was really nice I got the extra large because I thought I could put those slip-ons when it gets really cold. But it looks up the gloves I didn't have to put the slip on since it was really leathery and thick except the cold out so I had to return it to get a better size and the shop really accommodated me that was freaking awesome!
It is a motorcycle not a moped. Give me manly gears any day! Try shifting a 1000cc sportbike near redline and you will beat the feel of any car. 160 kph in 1st gear, 210 in second,... Seem like it would make a good week or weeks long solo trip. Seriously why would a fit person ever want cruise control on a motorcycle? I have ridden some form of bike for 50 years and want to ride and enjoy being in control. Not sitting on some small sofa while a computer drives for me is not for me. Get a car or chaffeur then!
Cruise control is nice just to give your wrist and hand a break every now and again and to maintain your speed in the flat and straight bits to avoid speeding tickets.
after 10 years, everyone should already know about this bike. Its awesome.

@@EricWZ honestly, very fair price for DCT and the bike.
@@MasterGamer4Eva oh for sure! I’m not disappointed. I actually traded in my 2017 R6 for it too. I no longer wanted a crotch rocket and wanted something more practical. So I paid very little out of pocket. No loan was needed.
It's a neat bike, not much like anything else on the market. That display is dismal though, Honds needs to upgrade it.
That’s the upgrade. Look at the previous generation display. It’s actually pretty decent in person. Honda is doubling down on high clarity LCD and only using TFT on its more expensive bikes.
If I could get this bike with the saddlebags and topbox for under $10k I would be tempted.
Which is quicker dct or manual transmission? Thanks for the excellent commute test as usual 🙂
DCT speed of up shifting negates the extra 22lbs. The bike is enjoyable with either transmission. Difference in acceleration isn’t significant.
Manual transmission is quicker , gets better gas mileage, and more fun to drive in my opinion. I own one !!
@@chrismorin4109 BUT have you ridden the DCT ? If so how far?
Will definitely be checking this bike out
i just got the 2022 model.
As a previous gen nc750x dct owner, highly disappointed.
Lower bike, minor upgrades to dash, especially compared to two other 2021 models, the xadv and forza750.
Single disc is not enough! Especially with pillion and gear.
Bike got lowered and compacted, but they still kept the X on... all in disappointment.
They have removed the 750S and homogenised the 2 bikes into this model it seems.
You can use the shift buttons on auto mode as well... you need to do your homework better.
These kind of stuff are very important in these kind of bikes.
This seems like the Robin to the goldwings batman.
Does it come with the bags and rack?
Waiting for the S to be sold again in Australia.
Appears to have ceased production, removed from their website all over.
@@shardlake dig more
Biggest deal breaker is the single disc front. Put a passenger and luggage weight and sorry, got to be better spec brakes
And you know this because you rode it in that manner? I doubt it! What say you?
Thanks for the review MG. Two things occurred to me: $800 is a lot for a motorbike DCT, and what power does it produce? I looked at the terrible Honda website and found it's 43kW which is about 58hp. This may vary depending on locale I suspect.
Dude, you're in Orange, CA.
I don't get the capability argument at all. Yes I like it, takes the rider one more step away from the noise and hassles of shifting, but I don't see any extra capability besides the faux-tank trunk storage, which is a lot by itself, but besides that, it's only a way to get from point A to B which any motorcycle is capable of. I do think it is going to have longer reliability due to the low revving, essentially half a 4 cylinder Honda car engine, and is what the future of ICE motorcycles is going to be, but ultimately it is not especially capable, just a quieter, more sedate cruiser/standard hybrid that you don't have to shift.
The funny thing is that I think Honda went in the wrong direction, by only increasing engine displacement when I feel there would be more interest in a lighter chassis, 400cc-500cc version for those who just do shorter commutes, aren't looking to take it on long road trips. Get it down under 400lbs and maybe up the fuel economy closer to 70MPG, and of course, a lower retail price which is very critical for beginner riders. I see a 500cc version of this, ideal for new riders, except that they still need to learn to clutch/shift if they hope to move on later.
Despite what I wrote above, I very much see the NC750X as a top coice, competent everyday commuter for people who live in utopia where it never rains or snows, and don't want the extra burden of shifting but do want the reliability of a low revving Honda engine.
500x and 750x are awesome bikes for adventure touring but why are they so heavy. Don't wanna drop them on your feet
Because 350lb dual sports suck for touring. Can’t have it both ways.
@@mindspinn311 500 and 750x aren't dual sports. And yamaha mt03 weighs 370lb and the reviews don't mention any stability problems. I'm just saying 500x can't weigh same as tenere 700 when the latter has a bigger engine and better everything
There should be an NC1100X w/100+ horses.
I can't wait for the tiger 660 sport.
“Specifically this model… this is also offered in the ctx
The CTX is no longer in production and used the older 670cc engine and previous generation of DCT.
@@mindspinn311 Ah, gotcha. Thanks for that check!
You complained about not being able to shift yourself and then told us about the manual button and shifting yourself. Other mistakes too. I know I have one.
hand on camera transition
Is it shaft drive, chain, belt ?
It is a chain drive motorcycle.
how does it compare to the V-strom 650 ?
It’s more of a commuter than an adventure bike.
Probably a better comparison to the Versys 650
I think the X-adv 750 would be a better option
The filling the tank under the seat not good a side fill the same as BMW. Would be better .
Perfect Grandpa 👴🏻 bike.
YOU will be lucky if you live that long!
If they made it an 800cc then I'd think about buying one.
Ctrl c + Ctrl v
I am so sick of reviewers doing the DCT. There are people out there who like manuals.
Just stay away from the nc 750 dct .
It stalls Honda finally has recalled it after injured happened in Europe and Asia .
I ended selling mine back to the dealer .
Cool bike. Lame host reviewing
I don't like that motorcycle. If I wanted to ride a two wheel automatic I would ride a scooter which I am riding right now. For a motorcycle I love to change gears, and feel the clutch.
They make a manual 👍🏻
@@mindspinn311 You know what this will lead to? Just like the cars from the good ole days where most of them were manual. People got lazy when the automatic came out for the cars, and now look at today. There's only small amount of manual in cars now. The new BMW Supra is auto, the GTR is auto, and I think most of these exotics are freaking auto with paddle shifters that is so freaking boring. I just hate to see motorcycles go this route. Scooters one thing, but making a motorcycle into an auto is where it will begin in decline of manuals. That's what I feel.
@@ilive4d80s6 Virtually impossible. The automatic motorcycle was once before a failure, by Honda, and is only made viable again by their patented technology. No other two wheel manufacturer had an interest. Automatics will only get so many people riding. Most of those kind of people are terrified of motorcycles. It will be a niche technology until electric eventually replaces internal combustion.
I've been riding for 30+years. Bought this bike with the dct and will never go back to a manual. It's that nice. Squeezing fingers and wiggling toes isn't as manly as people like to pretend lol
@@filobetobaby Manly?! You go by looks? You know what I ride. I ride a little 300cc bike which right now I could only afford, but I still enjoy the ride. I don't care what people says about me riding a 300cc bike being that I am 350 lb man. I only ride for the enjoyment. I only ride for the ride and part of that is experiencing all that a bike can be when you have total control shifting gears manually is the way to go, and it's fun for me. I'm glad you have it your way in an automatic bike but this trend is going to destroy the manual just like it did with cars. Just like all the sports car from the BMW supra, Nissan GTR, and all of lamb's going toward auto/eshifters. It just got boring! Automatics are made for work, and boring transportation. I ride a little 150 scooter everyday for work oh, and most of the time if I don't be a adventurous on it I would fall asleep on the Wheel. Automatic is only good for that and nothing more. Shifting gears manually with a clutch is pure fun. Most people that get automatic are freaking lazy. Yesterday I put in a new clutch lever on my little bike. I swear the controls gotten so smooth. I bought that bike used from a private owner oh, and he said that he dropped it once but it was on a standstill. It wasn't that bad the fairings on the side cracked a little bit. The clutch broke on the tip oh, but it still works. Ever since I bought it last year like it is and wrote it with the broken lever clutch I just got used to it but when I replaced it to yesterday man it Shore Drive smooth. I want to go riding more today but I got to work and after work my wife want to go to the casinos if I meet my goal. I'm not really shooting for it because I am so slower Tire today. She might not care and just take me to the casinos and we could eat buffet. I thought I was going to work in the morning but I just I'm so tired I'm just going to do the afternoon shift. I need to take a day off so I could ride somewhere. I want to take that route going towards Hattiesburg I know it's a two-hour Drive I just can't do that I'm just going to do part of it just see the sites. I don't mind driving to Hattiesburg if I had enough money to eat out there. The only reason why I want to go to Hattiesburg route it's because when I used to work for a medical company I used to drive there a lot toward hospitals and what not to deliver medical equipment. Now that I'm out of that field I just want to drive around there little towns and just see the sights. I don't know if I could ride couple hours I think my Max stamina on a bike right now since I'm almost 400 lb it's like 45 minutes 2 an hour. Today's it said on the Weather Channel it should get a little warmer. I don't know if I should wear a jacket when I'm on my little scooter I'm usually hot. I also got some new motorcycle gloves from motorcycle shop that was really nice I got the extra large because I thought I could put those slip-ons when it gets really cold. But it looks up the gloves I didn't have to put the slip on since it was really leathery and thick except the cold out so I had to return it to get a better size and the shop really accommodated me that was freaking awesome!
It is a motorcycle not a moped. Give me manly gears any day!
Try shifting a 1000cc sportbike near redline and you will beat the feel of any car. 160 kph in 1st gear, 210 in second,...
Seem like it would make a good week or weeks long solo trip.
Seriously why would a fit person ever want cruise control on a motorcycle?
I have ridden some form of bike for 50 years and want to ride and enjoy being in control.
Not sitting on some small sofa while a computer drives for me is not for me. Get a car or chaffeur then!
Cruise control is nice just to give your wrist and hand a break every now and again and to maintain your speed in the flat and straight bits to avoid speeding tickets.
@@Thirsty_Fox I guess. I have never needed that in 40+ years of riding. I try to get a bike(s) that fits my body.
If your a chick that wears a Fanny pack, this is your bike.
*you're.... I guess this bike targets the more educated crowd...
wow, what a macho guy
@@aliali-ce3yf ouch
Lmao 😂🤣
Wow you’re such a cool guy. I bet you only ride liter bikes and always on the back wheel… Can I be your friend 🤣
Because this bike has a glovebox. You don't wear a fanny pack. What do you ride buddy?
