Well as good a review as you will get from the BirchwoodBiker I found a great little trail, not advised in the wet or if your not confident on any motorcycle
As nice as the Transalp is, it’s fitted with tubed tyres meaning roadside repairs become a lot more complicated. Plus it’s not available with DCT. It frustrates that Honda made the NC ride by wire but still don’t offer cruise control. It will come one day!
Mate, I love the style of your videos. Just a chap riding a bike and casually chatting about stuff. No annoying music, no nonsense. And I do love your accent. Greetings from Germany, keep up the good work, and safe travels always.
This bike is perfect for 9800$ usd i don't want honda to change anything that would change the price, maybe they could offer a different trim package, but definitely still keep this affordable basic model
I agree with a lot of your observations - I had a 2012 NC700X manual for 6 years, trading up to a 2019 750X DCT, I saw the latter as a gradual development of the first model, a little more power and a more comprehensive rider display. My 2019 DCT was stolen from the street in early June and I had to source another 'bike quickly as I was leading a ride-out on an International Rally later that month. It never occurred to me to choose anything other than an NC but had to settle for a used 2021 manual model. I would have preferred a DCT but couldn't find one in time. The exhaust on ths 2021 model does sound better! To keep the price of the NC range competitive, I think Honda should avoid going for more power and twin discs on the front - isn't this 750 Hornet territory? I'm 5' 11" so the bike isn't too cramped. The instant throttle response is welcome also but I'm still adjusting to the Modes....
Based on watching several videos about the NC750 and my personal experience, the frunk is too small to fit most helmets. It is a huge disappointment to me since it would be so nice to be able to put it away when I go out and about. Come on Honda! An extra vertical half-inch would make the difference.
I miss that sound! My bike is parked at the cabin for the winter already and I'm without it. I find it a TON of fun. I look forward to the grocery errands, because you can get a gallon of milk plus a whole lot more in that frunk, and the way I drive, I get 80 m / US gallon. I don't speed in any vehicle nor hooligan, so this is a perfect bike for me. I'm 6'3", long legs, and it feels a bit cramped. However, I did 1,600 miles on mine in 2-3 weeks and didn't bother to install the handlebar risers nor drop footpegs I bought, so it wasn't
Love the motorbike NC750 is the best bike I've owned so far, 85mpg who can complain at that, but I Just traded it in for an NT 1100 hopefully I havent made a big mistake but so far liking it. Like your videos perfectly clear and the sound is very good. Explanation very clear and precise. I remember dropping a C70 in the Manchester Ship canal near Parbold. Thanks for sharing
How do you find the suspension? I’m thinking of getting one (my other consideration is a nx500) - mainly for blasting around rough country lanes but worry the suspension won’t be up to it
Hi, great video..I've got a question to ask. Where is the USB charging post located on this bike? I've got a quad lock mount the same as you have and I'd like to have my mobile charging at the same time for nav.
The competition on the slow ride this year was immense, 33 seconds last year would have put you in the running for winning it. Not sure if it was you I spoke to at the start of the Friday ride, it might have been one of the other NC riders, I was a little surprised to see so many (and CB500X riders).
Ha ha ha - not going through there on my Street Triple - that really would get my heart racing! Thanks for showing though, always wondered what those Ship Canal paths were like. 👍

Great video….an “attaboy” for not using music. Instead using just your relevant commentary. Wish other vloggers were like you!

Honda gave up on developing the NC many years ago.

Hi, if you go into your menu, you can change the Honda name on shut down to your own personalised six digit word.

Is the frunk the same size as the previous version plus what is the make and model of the chest camera harness
The Transalp needs the DCT. "As fast as possible, and as slow as necessary."
What's that weird line running down the middle of the video?
