    I liked your video and I could recognize myself in many ways. I drive a red Honda NC 750 X, I was a teacher (just retired) and I don't really know what I'm doing when I'm on my bike😆🙃, but I drive carefully and safe and I'm loving it ! Great bike ! Drive safe! Greetings from Sweden

    Funny about getting used to the DCT. For me, it is taking off from a stop when my left foot is trying to up shift. That foot seems to have a mind of its own. Thanks for the video - very enjoyable.

      Lol, my hand rarely looks for the clutch lever but my for is always looking for that dang shifter! I am getting better about not hitting the horn though.

    Picked up a barely used 2016 NC700 with 1,600 miles from a coworker for $3,500. It's my first bike, love not having to work a clutch/shifter after years of manual cars. I ride in S2 and play with the paddles as needed. I ride it like I stole it, and have a feeling it's going to be bulletproof for a long time. It's better in twisty stuff than it would appear too, I enjoy it

    It was really cool watching you ride on roads I’m completely familiar with. I used to live in Eastanollee. I’m next door in Fair Play SC now. It seems to me that I’m in the same situation you were in last year. I’m trying to purchase a 2022 or order a 2023 and nobody can help me. I think I’ll try writing to Honda corporate next. Somebody must want my money.

    The NC is the best STREET bike ever made.You should practice gently pushing blinker cancel three times after every turn every 100 feet until it becomes a habit.

    Love the "keeping it real" video. I wonder how you would fair getting back on a bike with a clutch and a gear shifter after riding your DCT for a year or so? I have used the Quad lock for over two years, and no problem at all, what i would recommend you buy for it though, is the vibration damper that fits on top of your Quad lock mount and between your phone.

    • @toekneegreen37
      @toekneegreen37  2 роки тому +1

      Doing this now. Rode NC750X DCT for the last 2 years. Now added a GSX-R600 to the collection. It takes some time to get used to the clutch again, but the bikes are so different that I am not getting them mixed up.

      I know they lowered the seat height to just over 31 inches, but depending on your inseam I'm not sure if you could flat foot both feet. The seat is narrower on the '21 so that'll help.
