- Sorry to everyone who has the pre versions of this NC750x DCT
But I'm gutted it's a better bike, I have to wait to change, if you think I'm just advertising GO AND RIDE IT, then you can agree with me, doesn't make the older Bikes obsolite, just don't ride it
that is the first REAL test ride of 2025 model I ever seen on youtube! nice!
Thank you much appreciated, I'm not a mottobob, I ride one every day, but Ride it yourself you will make the best decision👍👍👍
Very nice bike and a natural update to yours. Don't like the indicators on like that, dangerous if someone thinks you're turning. You're 100% right, should have a centre stand as standard, but they all seem to cheap out on that. I'm a VFR man but always been tempted withone of these, especially DCT. Cheers bud.
@@Chris-mn7yy never rode the VFR they seem to be awesome bike, the NC is just all round solid bike
Indicators, it seems barmy to me.
An accident waiting to happen.
@@birchwoodbikernc is legend!
Had a VFR 1200 DCT for 8 years and a magnificent bike. Now have a 2023 NC 750 DCT and love it. The weight was my issue with my VFR and also the DCT is so much better now.
Nice to see the new NC out. I do like the way you keep saying my old one compared to this. I think that is going to be in your shed pretty soon Haha.
Enjoy while you have got it..
I had one (dct) over 7 years ago,it was a good bike great to see it has been significantly improved. Seriously tempted to book a test ride but would have to be some bike to get me off my ADV 350
I've not rode the ADV and I'm going to get the chance, it will have to be excellent to beat the BMW c400x I would and probably will buy another one, Go and ride the NC it's not the 2014 model anymore it's growing up👍👍👍
Mine arrives in March, I’m trading in my 2021 version with 23,000 miles on it. I’m totally converted to DCT now. As a lightweight rider I’ll probably have to modify the front forks again and I’ve ordered a centre stand as part of the deal. Can’t wait!
Lucky ?????? I'll have to wait a little bit longer, I just put a heavier fork oil in mine, no issues, if I bought it out right I would consider the change👍👍👍
How light are you? I am 67kg and short. I have wondered if I would benefit from suspension changes. Would tell me your mods etc.
@ I’m 63 kilo. I changed the fork oil to 7.5 weight and increased the air gap by putting in 30ml less than standard. It’s given me a much more compliant ride. At the rear I just reduced the pre load to its lowest setting. The handling is fine for me.
I'm going to trade in my 21 plate Honda Forza 750 for the new NC 750 (In Green) later this year, can't wait..
I just wish dealers would let Joe Public have decent test rides and not just UA-camrs. My local dealer that I dealt with for 30 years had sadly gone recently, and I had a 220 mile round trip today to the nearest dealer that had one for test ride. After 3 hours to get there (and 3 hours back), I was told they only allow a maximum of 30 minutes for a test ride. I never even got the bike warmed up (especially as I had no idea of the locale or roads) by the time I had to have it back, so I walked away without buying. May be a great bike but without a proper test ride I"m not shelling out. If had been given a couple of hours they may well have had a sale.
Hi Darren couldn't agree more I am lucky Youles let me try these bikes, but I am honest BMW dealer now won't let me ride there bikes, In2moto again the same unless it's demo day, But dealers forget customers change there bikes and I would be reluctant to by a bike without couple of hours riding, The sad thing is dealers are really struggling now, they also try to keep milage down on there demeo bikes that don't belong to them, they purchase them from the manufacturer when they hit a milage, I always say you have to ride it to buy it, hard thing to give advise when you have so far to travel😒👍👍👍
I just ignored a dealer I test rode a bike from and took it for a much longer test than they wanted me to, they never queried me when I returned with the bike.
Thanks, a great insight into the new bike. We currently own a 2022 manual model. We are thinking we should make the change.
I've been trying to get a ride on the manual, but I do think due to the low reving the dct is just better, and take no notice of mossy, you can slide the nc you can wheelie it in manual mode with a little hump in the road🤣🤣🤣👍
I saw the red one at the NEC and love the colour. A nice change from the brighter usual Honda red. Looking forward to seeing a green one in the flesh and having a test ride. Anyone know if M+P Swansea have a test bike?
Let me know your thoughts have you got one now👍👍👍
I test one today the manual one it it had hey adjustable front screen is this an optional extra love the bike and we'll be buying one
Yes Ill bring that upwhen I do my last ride today, It looks like optional extra what a let down if it is, the bike needs a bit better wind resistance from that screen👍👍👍
I'm not upgrading, my 21 model has everything it needs, added cruise control, driving lights, brake light modulator, Givi crash guards, Garmin XT2 navigation with music playback controls.
The front brakes on my 21 are also more than sufficient and I also like the looks of the 21 better than the 25.
Anyways, if I want the dual disc setup I could probably just buy the front parts from the 25 model and install them on my 21, should bee very easy to retrofit.
And I shudder to think how much that'll cost. Don't forget to get the ABS parts for the new disk or check out whether modulator has enough volume for both callipers.
Yes agreeI still adore my 23 model, The brakes on it work brilliant but they truly are not a patch on the new one, BUT I've never put myself in a possition where they would fail, IT would be a slog and a half to do all the changes for extra disk, my NC is still staying with me min of 6 months, I was truly gutted it feels better, things have to improve, Im the same I have lots of extras on mine, Ride safe your still on the best bike on the road👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟
@@birchwoodbikeri agree, if you don't put yourself in a position to need dual front brakes then one is all you'll ever need. Either way I'm excited to see what you decide to do in the near future!
When I looked at one in Staffs Honda there was a ugly gap where the seat met the frunk/tank plastics - much more so than on my 21 plate, was that a one off or can you see a difference?
Yes the front of the bike has changed a lot, it's looking mor like mini NT, I did think the seating felt tighter to be honest when I was riding it, the issue really is it does feel better, but My 23 NC is still more than enough, and this is brand new they all feel different until they done couple thousand miles👍👍👍
Keeping my 23 model lol
Are the hazards on all the time? My NT1100 has solid orange on all the time but yours look to be flashing
We noticed it to, probably on for police to let him through 🤔 👍
@@johnj4558 Hazards are not on the indicators stay on solid most Honda's have the same setup now👍
I may of turned them on to make the NC look as fast as the Hornet😂😂😂🍻
@@birchwoodbiker 🤣🤣
@birchwoodbiker 🤣🌟✨👍🧡
I am jealous Paul. I am still waiting for the 2025 NC 750x DCT to get here in the USA. I have the 2024 NC but I did put a deposit down on the 2025. But Honda is so darn slow releasing it to the dealers here. Hopefully it will get here soon. Thank you for the updated video Paul.
Get home soon and take care of your wife Paul. LOL.
Ride on brother.
Cheers MrJK you will love it, I'm taking her out later today it will save my ear drumbs🤣🤣🤣👍
@@birchwoodbiker Your funny Paul. LOL 😂
God Bless brother.
Great test ride out, you obviously loved it and i can see you opening up your wallet again, it's a fabulous bike.
Yes it will extract more cash but it's better in Youles than with the tax man 🤣but not just yet👍👍👍
I'm about to put a pre-order on a 25 model. Only thing missing is to see how the colours are. I am really hoping the green looks good. From what I've seen online I think it's a bit to bright for me so I think I'm gonna go for a white one. How was the red? How does it compare to previous models?
That's it for me Black is the only one that floats my boat, The NT 1100 has a midnight Blue that I would of died for, You will love it ride safe👍👍👍⭐
It's not my thing, but if it makes you happy, it's right for you.
I'd consider it as a great rental of the future.
Yes totally agree I love the bike, I've owned R1 R6 many sports bikes, and you change as you get older, ride the bike you like not me👍👍👍⭐
@@birchwoodbiker it's on my channel. It's not for sale and I wouldn't lend it to anyone.
Also wouldn't recommend it but I like maintenance and finding parts.
Great to see the new 2025 model...but until they put cruise on it I won't be trading my electric blue 2017 model in...oh, and the centre stand.
Agreed I had the 2020, I put on a centre stand and screen riser/adjuster and then loved it. However after my next bike had CC it is now a must have for me ,just to help with keeping pins and needles out of my hand and points off of my license.
@@barrydaly7174 Every year so many people comment on the lack of CC. I'm amazed/disappointed Honda don't act on the feedback.
I agree but for £200 the veridian cruise is brill, works just as good as factory just without the indicators on the dash. If you have a DCT like me the purpose built one is amazing.
Bib the best looking NC for me that was the colour of my 1st NC wish Honda would put it back in the line up, or even the midnight blue on the NT1100, not overkeen on any of the new colours to be honet👍👍👍
@@birchwoodbiker I agree re the new colours. Bland, all of them.
Can't hear the engine or anything except your voice 🙁
But well done being the first in the UK for a review 👍
@@mrhouse3826 the software and UA-cam algorithm quiets the sound
Are the hazards on?
No it's the camera that makes it look like there flashing👍👍👍👍
Golly I love the NC (though I don’t have one). I wish Honda would use the NC format to develop a new Silverwing with luggage, cruise control, electric screen, heated seat, etc… though I guess they won’t do that because it would compete directly with the Goldwing.
The Veridian cruise I put on mine changes it for motorways and sweeping bends, the new one is most def smoother bit more grown up But nothing comes close to that Goldwing👍👍👍
I went to my local Honda to have a look at the 25 plate.
For some reason it seemed smaller than my 23 plate NC...
It's weird looking from the front looks taller but frunk when your sat on it looks flatter and wider, i'm going to compair to my NC this morning👍👍
Are you riding with your hazard light on? You might like to review your review. In the excitement you seem to have lost the plot a little. The first thing you got excited about was a black piece of plastic instead of silver on the previous model. Then the gearchange! Its a brand new bike. Try a reset on yours. Then your brakes have a bit more play. Well try a brake service, 2 calipers have the potential to create more play. And on it goes. I havent even got to your test ride yet, you are still on the way home. Yes its an improvement and i would like one but not enough to change my 23 just yet
Absolutely spot on, not nearly enough for me to crash out.
Thanks Richie Black Plastic 100% correct, I done a video on resting the DCT I can tell you 100% after riding it the gear control is smoother quicker, and less juder which you get on the NC after 3-5k, Ride it your self let me know, my brake pads are hi end my fluid gets change every 12 months and they work Brilliant, but the new one is better, and I'm keeping mine, I still love it it does everthing the 2025 one does, if I was buying one from scratch I would buy the 25 model, So I'm not against you I'm with you the HONDA NC750x DCT even my pre model I wouldn't loose sleep on any of them👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐you get 3 gold stars for your bravery 🤣
Nice review. ❤
Thank you much appreciated👍👍👍
I’ve done 60000 miles on mine in 3 years bike is so easy to ride giving over 80 mpg on average
Fork seals and rear wheel bearings gone twice otherwise reliable
Honda main dealership service awful and none of above covered under warranty
Not very exciting bike but gets the job done
Luckily I have other bikes for fun rides out
I think within the 2 years warranty fork seals and bearings would be covered, I'm only upto 16k, that would be a worry for many people who don't or cant repair there own bikes, soz to say don't find it boring, I can have as much fun in the bends as I had on the Hornet, it's just not going to push my bollocks into my boots as some would say, what other bikes have you got👍👍👍⭐
Why no cruise control? It’s a natural tourer for us older/smaller riders but no cruise control is a big mistake.
Totally agree or even give it as a option, My feedback to Honda is Free 1st service on new Bike, Centre stand fitted, adjustable screen. let's start with little steps with luck they will listen👍👍👍
You forgot about turning off your hazard lights 😂
@@mohammedziauddin601 it looks like there on but there not even when I looked at video🤣👍👍👍
Im counting the days till you order one mate
It will be months I'm affraid😒😒😒👍
Maybe it is just me being an old fart, but I wish these had shaft drive. I have always thought my '18 NC had more than enough power for this.
They do I still think your model or I had the 15 year 1st was the better looking bike, there are suttle changes that are good, i'm now 50/50 on the switch gear much smaller👍👍👍
I did 12,000 miles on my 2021 NC750X DCT and only had to adjust the chain once (at the 600 mile service). Just keep it lubed up and it will last just as well as a shaft drive. Just a shame two brainless yobs stole it!
Come on Paul surely it’s not just me but the new 1000 hornet according to you was the best thing since sliced bread now it’s the new mighty NC I’m that confused I’ll by a triumph 😂😂😂😂😂
@@SOLOMOTOUK Derek you know deep down the NC750 is the only bike that needs to be made😂😂😂🍻what happend with Nic
@ 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
That's not the "Mighty NC"! Your NC is THE MIGHT NC!
Yes it is, and I am happy with it, I need to stop riding other bikes 🤣🤣🤣👍
The new bike is better than the previous model. However, it still has lousy suspension and no cruise control. So, not interested Honda!
@@dolphinride5157 yes same suspension, but in fairness it's not a sports bike, I was going to upgrade mine, I just put thicker fork oil in that's made a improvement🍻👍👍👍
well, buy a more expensive bike then. I am sure that Honda does not care. This bike is for people like me. Who want a reliable bike, build in Japan, with DCT, practical, fun to ride and economical. I can afford a more expensive bike, but I see no reason for it. As soon as I can order it, I will.
There is upgrade kits available for the Honda NC750X. The best one you can do is upgrade the fork springs to a set of progressive springs for £70. It will transform the bike
Go away and spend a lot more money then!
I would like one of these minus all the tech , with just standard clutch , gears , proper throttle , separate non Abs brakes . & more basic display & no modes . I realise we have to have ABS ,to comply with daft Euro directives , but I don’t have any need for the tech I don’t require & never use . I find bike models tend to improve at the the mark 2 model as most little niggles get ironed out . The newer models don’t aways look better , sometimes they reach a point where they get the look just perfect , only to mess up on the next version . I reckon the bike looks nice & lot better than some of these grotesque mechanical monsters they are producing these days & more practical too for real world everyday riding . 👍
That’s about as exciting as a Lada. And probably less powerful.
I mean seriously, how is that ‘mighty’? It’s not exactly a Streetfighter V4S is it 😂
Where do you ride, love to come out, I love the odd challenge, we will be doing the Hardknott at night overnight camp they are cracking roads👍👍👍
Brother it's the same engine and same performance, calm down! I think you're just a little overly excited about riding this new model 😂
I know it sounds OTT but they have changed the lower down performance and smoothness, and your right it actually should be slower 2kg heavier👍👍👍
Veliksai you don't know Birchwoodbiker very well. He loves his NC. So what. Many bikers love their particular brand and are crazy about their brand. So if Birchwood goes crazy about his NC so be it. He is a good guy. He's been riding bikes for years. It's us old riders saying , you ride own your ride. Or you do you , I'll do me brother.
@@birchwoodbikerwell if you like it then I like. 😎 👍🏻
@@MrJkfamilyguy59I know what you mean, I have a Mighty NC as well. I was just saying it can't really be that much faster, it's probably a little bit of excitement and the love for the NC that's making the butt Dyno feel like there's more power. 😂
I'm going to trade in my 21 plate Honda Forza 750 for the new NC 750 (In Green) later this year, can't wait..
