If you have any more footage from this 6 day trip, I'm sure everyone would love to see more - I certainly would. Great to see another video from you, hope to see lots more from you.

    Hi NCx Stuff. I bought my NC750x a year ago. Do I love it? Nope. But I completely understand why you love yours - for all the reasons you've stated in your videos and also, I suspect, because you like being able to improve it.
    But I'm sure I know why you're keen on the NC and I'm not - because you've never ridden a Yamaha TDM 850.
    I bought my NC because it was a do-it-all bike like the TDM is/was. But the truth is the TDM is like an NC but with all cheap stuff - suspension, seat, etc of great quality from the factory.
    Anyway, I'm intrigued. If you've ever ridden a TDM and you read this, please let me know. If you haven't, I suggest you don't if you want to stay in love with your NC!

    Greate ride. But can you tell me do you have such fealing that your bike "fall down" into corner more than a moment before. It is happening when turning on some twisty road. I mean that I start turning, lie a bit, bike goes into the turn... and bike tries to lean more, without any input from me. May be speed slows down a bit (few km/h). Actually I'd made some pressure on stearing to don't allow bike to lean more at such moments.
    I never had such feeling on my old BMW R1150GSA that I had before and I don't understand what is it.
    Or may be the tire Pirelli Angel ST has too agressive profile for me?

Have done 3.600 K's did some grave roads yes watch out them plenty of pot holes. :) some off road riding in the glasshouse mountains Also my fav's the Lyons Rd. Mount mead mount glorious the landscape is just amazing just have to watch out for them big things that hop . :) & dodge them carpet snakes on the road . The nc750x is the perfect bike to do tours on & has a long fuel range better than most & just purse along with no fuss it a honda 100% reliable. Thank you for sharing you adventurers

      In Aussie slang a “quid” was a Pound £(English currency before we went metric).
      So the old saying was “wouldn’t be dead for quids”.
      But of course we are metric since 1966 where a £ became $2.
