Exactly! I figure if I was on a track day or really putting the bike through it's paces on some fun twisties, then sure manual gears are good. And for technical riding on loose stuff. But for travelling and in the city an automatic is waaaay more comfy
Good vid man. Actually I think it’s more interesting to just hear your reaction to the bike and not hearing about specs like so many other reviews. Cheers!
Yeah.. I'm glad I have a habit of placing myself further away from cars if possible in my lane and also always covering the front brake when riding in the city... And also not being too much faster than the rest of the moving traffic. Still damn near soiled myself 😆

Hey mate! Happy to see you there ! I had a little trip on a NC750X (as a passenger) a couple years ago and made a lil' video about, A fun bike, but not the one i'd choose to ride with The DCT gearbox seems fun tho For May maybe you could put a racing gas cap, that could solve the key issue See ya! Peace ✌
I had heard about NC750X being dull before, but they have improved it a bit with the latest version. It can be ridden like a hoon. But yeah, it still lacks any kind of character. As for May’s gas cap.. I haven’t decided what to do just yet. A new gas cap does sound reasonable though. Decent ones do cost quite a bit though..
@@MargusMoto Yeah can be a bit pricey but maybe not as much as changing all the key system on the bike 🤷♂️ But maybe it's still under warranty so in this case I'd bring it to Husqvarna to be fixed 🤔
@@deadbrainsblo The dealership did help me get that broken key out of the gas cap, but I paid for the new key. Husky warranty isn’t all that great. I also had to pay for a new brake rotor since apparently that is not covered and I guess it is not their fault the rotor warps in less than 2000km…
@@MargusMoto Oh ok I see.. that's not great indeed. I guess I'll avoid to buy a Husky as next bike 😮 Great looking bikes but bad after-sales service (consumer-service?) Let's hope everything will be fine for you now 🙂
Thanks! I use a Rode smartLav+ mic connected to the GoPro, record raw audio and then do the processing in post. :) It's a decent setup, but at faster speeds outside the city the noise gets really bad.. could be my helmet is not a quiet one...
@@JJFilmart Guess it could be worth trying out. If I can fit it as I have a similar mic in fron of my mouth that connects to the communicator device.. Maybe I can split the mic output and use the same mike for both comms and vids...
I’ve heard this tends to be the norm indeed. But personally, age does not seem to have this effect on me (unfortunately, since vanity is not a cheap trait..)
It’s not only about looking cool. It’s about feeling cool being on the bike. Or simply special. If I don’t get that in a bike I might as well be driving a car.
By definition it is not. “[a scooter is] a light two-wheeled open motor vehicle on which the driver sits over an enclosed engine with their legs together and their feet resting on a floorboard.”
2:55 Damn he didn't check the mirror or side window for 1 sec. Anyway it's awesome to see you riding again! 🔥🙌
But he DID use the blinker for 1 sec, which is not something you usually see with BMW's XD
@@MargusMoto 😮 That is rare indeed 🧐
Many people might think that automatic bikes are boring. But it's actually quite nice sometimes do not be bothered with gears/clutch.

@@MargusMoto can use gear buttons on track, instant change and concentrate on riding

Thanks! I figured everyone can google for specs. 😎
Geez that red car scared me like hell, and I'm only watching in front of my computer

congrats from Lithuania. And for youR DAD.:)
DCT was first used on the 2010 VFR1200F.
True. Though it feels like the dct has been around for much longer on Honda bikes :D

HI, great video and great bike!! witch mic do you uses in the video? sounds clear, thankssss

@@MargusMoto thankss very much!!!!
Maybe you must use Fonestar FDM 621. Its said is a very good mic because its a unidirectional mic for motovlogs, not omnidirectional. Regards

"Cool" is a relative term. The older I get, the less I care about being cool.
I’ve heard this tends to be the norm indeed.

DCT is typically clunky at low speeds in cars.
I suppose in a 2 ton vehicle it would be less noticeable.. But then again, my car has a CVT, so I wouldn’t know 😊
I keep pressing the horn on mine accidentally. Poor positioning honda but what a bike
I think I’ve done the same on pretty much every bike I’ve ridden 😆
I agree that it's lacking a cool factor - this is a bike for adults who are past trying to look cool.
It’s not only about looking cool. It’s about feeling cool being on the bike. Or simply special. If I don’t get that in a bike I might as well be driving a car.
Where is this
Estonia.. en route from the capital Tallinn to lovely little beach town Pärnu 😁
This DCT is just a big scooter
