All of this is exactly why i love my little Nc750x, in over 45 years of riding, i had all kind of motorcycle, and this one, fills all of my needs. Its an awesome commuter, easy to ride, fuel economy is great, mechanic, well, i use to be a mechanic myself, so this bike totally ridiculous to maintain, so easy a kid can do almost everything on it! To me, its one of the best bike Honda as ever built and i plan on keeping it for a very, very long time!
I love this channel. Not because I own an NC750x, but because it is the purest channel for motor cycle enthusiasts.
I don't ride long distances much anymore due to some bad rheumatism (thanks to an past accident in my youth). My lovely NC is mostly used to get to work. That's another reason I love this channel. Watching the two of you go for rides warms my soul when I can't do it myself.
Anyway, keep em coming.
Thanks mate. But riding to work can be a great “stress relief” too.
I used to commute 220km round trip each day to work. Took to riding the bike each Friday (instead of the car) and always looked forward to that.
Well said mate…I’m still thrilled and always pleased every time I ride my 2012 NCX…at this stage of my life it will probably be my last ride…I don’t think I could have made a better choice…stay safe and thanks for all the rides…
Yes. I think it will be my last as well. 🥰
@@AfricaTwin-Stuff my Dependable 2012 NC will be my last as well. Bitter sweet bike.
I am on 85000 trouble free miles on my 2011 ncx (the first in the country) all year Scottish weather riding . Brakes need the most maintenance to prevent sticky pistons and that's it . Still burns no oil . Presently sorned until i sort my finances out . Will probably have to remove rear swing arm for repainting . Everything is so easy to work on .
That was a sad comment “ at this time in my life it will be my last ride”. May I ask your age & do you have any medical issues? I intend riding motorcycles until I can not get my leg over anymore. Ride safe mate
@@chrispack3131 Hey Chris…nice to hear from you. Not really all that sad…
at “71 years young” I’m starting to have a few old man issues. I do find the pace of today’s traffic and the apparent lack of awareness of motorcycles in general to be a bit concerning….perhaps that’s just age speaking. The NCX is such an enjoyable ride I can’t imagine a reason to replace it…so that’s why it will probably be my last ride…where I live ride = motorcycle 😊
Stay safe mate and I hope you can ride forever…👍🏻
Great to see a video with your experience after 100k km!
Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Great video as always.
And of course one of the last fully "field-serviceable" motorcycles on the market, which to my mind put it ahead of competition. At my time in life I'm more concerned about seeing stuff than seeing how fast I can leave it behind me. A weekend saved from "doing the shims" on a 4 cylinder inline is always welcome... and my back always thanks me.
Thanks for the reviews, rides and maintenance over the years. Its top notch.
Thanks mate. Yep doing shims is something I don’t miss either.
Brilliant Review, as usual. Love watching your channel!
My next bike for sure thanks for this video!!!!
It’s a pleasure to see your videos. Congratulations from Portugal.
I enjoyed the update, Adrian. What a machine!
Your videos on this bike helped me buy one.
9:59 all these points resonate with me, and I can feel exactly what you mean, stay safe and enjoy the ride 😊
Honda make the best bikes. I too like your wife have a Honda CB500x, it's covered 151k km (94000 miles) with only the water pump and rear wheel bearings going at 115k km (72000 miles). These bikes are absolutely phenomenal & pretty much bulletproof.
This is a great review. It’s been said a million times if it’s been said once; it’s not about the bike - it’s always the rider.
When I was looking for a new bike back in 2021 your content helped me very much in deciding in favor of the nc. And I'm very glad about it. Thank you!
My NC750X 2015 is a work horse, buyed in second hand last year, with 18.000kms, I have made 40.000 kms in one year. Good consumption, nice aerodinamic protection (with big windshield). Drive all year round, all weather. Untill now, zero problems. Just make shore to make regular maintenance and you have a bike for many years.
This post gives me confidence. Bought my 2015 NC750x in June '23 with only 2500 miles on it. I've put 5000 on it since then and used this video to help my maintenance! No real issues so far.?..
Excellent video, review and reflections! Well done! 😃
Greetings from Romania!
I own a 2017 NC 750X DCT and i really like your channel 😊.
Keep it up!
What a great summary for your 100K experience. It's wonderful that you have maintained the bike by yourself (and saved lots of money). Unfortunately, today, many people struggle to be able to wire a plug never mind maintain a bike. Sad situation but true. Great video.
Top video mate and nice to see Australian contents on you tube
Your reviews on your adventures, with this bike was what convinced me to buy one great bike
I love your bike philosophy, I hope I get there with my wife one day. Thanks
Great review. You put your bike through more "tests" than most of us.
Great video as always. Ride safe.
Congrats on the mileage and thanks for all the great videos.
Always enjoyed your vids.
What a thoughtful review; just wonderful! After staying with my 1985 Nighthawk 650 since 2001, I'm after a new bike, and this one looks right.
you have taken excellent care of your machine....as always thanks for info....
Such beautiful scenery.
You meet the nicest people on a Honda 😉
Well done love your content 👍
Agree entirely with you when you say it really doesn’t matter what you ride, just as long as you get out there and ride! Doesn’t matter if you’re on a Honda Cub or the latest GS1250 adventure machine, you still have all the freedoms that motorbikes give us. I can honestly say that my best trips throughout my life have been made on two wheels 😊….
Good to hear mate. Thanks.
Bravo.. I enjoy your content, from deep east texas . Thanks for all the maintenance videos. On my 2013 nc700x, My complaint was the touring windshield was baffling my face with wind, replaced with a Givi product. Much better air flow.
Brilliant mate. I loved my NC750X but changed it to an NT1100. But I miss the NT and in particular, the frunk. I'll still keep watching your videos though. Love the adventures and humour.
Brilliant video thanks
Excellent video as usual.
A Great Video that speaks for me too as I have a 2018 version DCT of the same bike with absolutely no complaints. I will now check your Shed Channel. Thanks.
Thanks Bob.
Good video. Lots of people love their Honda NC's
Very well said, it's absolutely the Truth.
I have a 700x and absolutely Love it
I own a 2012 700. Love the bike. Wouldn't want any other
Thanks a lot
Thanks for this video mate. I hope to purchase this as my first bike. Seems like a great commuter.
Greetings and salutations from Santiago, Chile. I’ve been following your channel for a few years now, ever since I bought my NC in October 2019. For those of us who are mechanically challenged it’s been very good to see you doing maintenance to your ride. Thanks for all the time and effort that you’ve put into keeping your channel going.
All the best.
Thanks mate. Glad to hear.
Very nice and honest review. I also own a Honda NC750X with DCT. I love also when you have to drive very slow. Very stable with the low weight.
Love the video. Thanks for making it. Your loyalty is inspiring. I have my MOD 2 test coming up next week and I’m pondering what bike I want to buy. I’m gravitating around the new Hornet. Cracking bike but will thin out my wallet with the dealership services and what not and thanks to many videos and yours specifically I’m beginning to lean towards a more sane and budget friendly NC 750 used of course because why not. Thanks again. I’ll think I’ll watch many more of your videos over the coming few days. How you love your bike is inspiring.
Thanks mate. Wish you all the best in your bike riding journey
Like you I'm very happy with my NC750X and have no intention to ever part company with it, does everything I want it to and puts a big smile on my face every time.
Great to hear of riders who connect with their bike and appreciate them for what their designed for. Expecting any bike or vehicle to be the best at everything is unreasonable & doesn't exist. I have many bikes and their all different and lend themselves to either road bias, off road, sport touring etc. and enjoy each for their specific use & character. Thanks for the video and enjoyed your trip down memory lane on your bike.
Thanks mate. And yes I agree. No such thing as a perfect bike as you can’t define “perfect”.
Greetings from Slovakia, 2015 NC750S DCT and 115tkm. Changed water pump, rear bearings and dct motor, all replaced by myself. Have a great time to next hundred kms.
Another surprise with my NC750X was the fuel below seat with storage in normal tank area big enough for helmet or whatever … extremely handy! A great all rounder bike. Many thanks for your content have been subscribed and liking along the way.🏍️
Thanks mate
Hiya, Thank you for another excellent video very well put together and with a lovely soundtrack, I can't find fault in anything you say you have it spot on, keep going mate I love the videos and have found the maintenance ones very useful, only yesterday I fitted your string seat release, ( Just in case ) Thanks again mate.
Glad I’ve been useful. Thanks
Thanks. Up to the next 100.000!
Very kind. Thank you. 🥰
Great video mate
New subscriber here from Canada.I haven’t owned a bike in two decades but am hoping to get back into it. Thanks for the inspiration. And for the bit of research that I’ve done so far, the NC and and CB series are likely near the top of my list of most sensible bikes.
Thanks. Wishing you all the best for your future adventures
Thanks for all your support Mrs Wendy.
Lovely. I’ll pass that on 🥰
You have said what many people say about the NC and it the reason why Honda still sell them today. I am four years into my NC and cannot argue with anything you have said. We have lots of salt here in Scotland and no rust so far and the bike is used all year round. I have watched all of your videos and many thanks for the entertainment over the years, especially your brilliant commentary, you a funny guy. I look forward to many more of your adventures.
Arrrr. That’s very kind of you. Thanks.
Another great video and well said! I love the Honda as well and I think I mentioned before that your video's are part of the reason I bought one. Hardly was riding anymore but I love to ride on the NC. And last year I've been on a short trip for the first time in 10 years or so. Nothing really special but it felt like I discovered adventure again. So there's gonna be more going abroad again. Hope to see more video's of the bike and of the Australian landscape because that's so beatiful. Ride safe...! 🤠
Good on you. And thanks for the comment.
I am leaning heavily to getting myself one of these.
I own a NC700x 2012 and a NC750X 2021 and they are both amazing bikes and I agree with you about the engine it's such an amazing engine in 6th gear at 60ks and open the throttle and it just pulls away to whatever speed you need to go. I will ride an NC for along time more I can tell you that for sure.
Thanks for a great video, you were one of the major influences when I bought my 2014 NC700XD 2 years ago. 30k US miles with zero issues but tons of enjoyment! Like you I upgraded the suspension , installed handlebar risers and lower foot pegs. No problem riding 7-8 hours sometimes for multiple days. I suspect that unless I somehow destroy this bike I probably won’t ever replace it.
Thank you. Very kind. Much appreciated.
Very nice - great review and I like your style!
…from Canada….
Pete
Thanks mate. I guess it’s warming up there now so you can get out riding.
Thanks!
Thank you. Very kind
Nice video Ride safe 😎
Thanks for the review for what to many is a very understated bike. Im originally from the UK but have lived in Central Mexico for over 30 years and when I retired in 2020 I bought myself a new NC 750XD (DCT) to explore locally at first and then farther afield. I've ridden manual change bikes since I was a kid but chose this automatic bike because I have a gammy left knee, and weak left wrist and riding the automatic version means that I'm able to dispense with using too much of the left side of my body whilst riding. I love this bike. Its plenty powerful for me on the highway and cruises easily at 120 kph and because of its weight its pretty stable in crosswinds. I've also rode it on dirt and gravel tracks where its also performed well, especially after changing the tyres. As you noted, maintenance is easily accomplished if you have a bit of a mechanical bent and although I've not put too much kilometers on the bike as of yet I've had no issues with it. The only major mod I've made to the bike is that I fitted adjustable dog bone links in order to drop the seat to ground height by 3cms. I'm a bit short in the legs and was unable to place my feet flat on the ground when I first bought it. Now I'm fine without sacrificing too much ground clearance. As you stated, fuel economy is amazing and it runs well on standard quality gas even at high altitude where I live. The automatic transmission is an absolute joy when driving through stop/start slow comuter traffic and when I want a bit more excitement when on decent roads with less traffic I change from the default auto mode to sport mode which gives the bike a bit more oomph round the bends and up inclines. As most of my riding is on asphalt or concrete surfaces this bike is just fine but knowing that it will also cope with light offroad riding is a bonus. I hope to keep enjoying this bike for a good number of years to come and keep heading down those roads and tracks least travelled. Cheers!
That’s great. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Great review thanks. I have only had my 2019 model for 12 months and still working out whether I want to keep it as I like the look and attributes of the Tiger 900 GT so your enthusiasm for the bike has rekindled my reasons for buying the DCT model in particular, having an arthritic left thumb joint. We do have salt on the roads in the UK but I guess that this bike will take it better than most. This isn't the only bike I own so I now think I can live with my perceived short comings of this model, mainly the power limit. Hope you get many more pleasurable miles service from yours.
he is a really great person and a very sincere content producer. I discovered this channel when I had an NC before. Now I own a different motorcycle, but I still follow this channel with love and interest. A surprisingly dexterous user. And most importantly, he is very sincere and honest about the right and wrong he does. Greetings and love from Turkey.
Ha! Thanks mate. Your comments made me smile
Great stuff, my 2012 700s, only has 23k on it and it runs like the day I got it.
Very nicely presented. I note that you have the michelin road 6 on. I have the 700x and now have the road 6 on and am still enjoying the bike.
I'm still in love with mine! 2018 🇺🇸 model, looks identical to yours! I get the hots for something else occasionally, but it doesn't take long to remember all the things I love about the NC750X!
Agree. I often think “$&@ would be a lovely bike”, but then ask myself “but what extra fun would I get from that VS the cost of a new bike?”
Answer = none.
awesome
I have to say in terms of being Bulley proof and reliable it has to be up there as one of the best bikes of all time. If I didn't do lots of serious loaded up 2 up touring, I'd have one instead of my crf1100l ATAS. Here in the UK rock salt doesn't help the ageing process. Great videos keep them going
I sold my trusty 76 GL1000 to get a 2013 NC700s six years ago and it is a brilliant all round bike, with panniers and an aftermarket Shad seat it’s been Ok travelling two up too. So easy to maintain and so economic to run, and above all, just fun to ride. Kept my last bike 23 years, won’t be replacing this one.
Wow ! Thank goodness I’ve found someone on UA-cam who’s not making the NC750X bike look like a boring bike . I have just bought the 2023 model. Yes I’m going to ring the bell like and subscribe
Thanks mate 🤗
I bought my brand new 2018 NC after watching youtube videos by yourself and others and I am still delighted with it. I copied your seat slope solution and it transformed the bike. I had to give up on the dropped pegs as I could not find anyone willing to alter the brake pedal and gear shift.
If I had to pick out things that I don't like about it I could only point to the chain final drive and the size of the fuel tank but that is being overly fussy.
My biggest gripe however is nothing that can be blamed on the bike but on the modern tyres. As someone who seldom troubles the outside edges of my tyres, I want a squarer profile and a harder compound. Unfortunately the tyre manufacturers only appear to cater for the racer wannabes (most of whom do less than 1000km per year and never see rain).
I would recommend the NC to everyone, it really is the only bike you will ever need.
Nicely said. Thanks.
I agree about the chain, it's the only thing I don't like about mine. For such an otherwise practical bike it's a shame that Honda hasn't given it either belt or shaft drive. I copied the seat slope solution too, and yes, such a small change makes an amazing difference.
top vid.
Excellent video mate, thank you so much for posting it. You’re my kind of rider.
Note to Honda - First, I really love this channel, you really should sponsor the chap who posts these videos.
Second, as I ride long distances around Europe on well-paved and rather boring motorways, I have a real love of cruise controls. If you would fit one to next year’s NC750, I’ll immediately put my name on the order list. Not including the cruise control is the only reason I don’t already own a Honda.
Yes, with ride-by-wire, it seems a big mistake to not include cruise control.
All in all, this is good to hear. Id say you are the current best use case of the NC 750. Lots of use, regularly maintained, moderate upgrades, leads to a long useful life. No machine is perfect.
Well said. Thanks
I’ve got to say, this is a brilliant review. Well done and thank you 🍻
I live in the Hunter Valley (out past Branxton) and usually commute to Newcastle by bike. I also like to get out for fun day rides and occasional touring/camping.
Some years ago I had to sell my beloved 660z Tenere to get something more ‘appropriate’ for the commuting. My R1200RT was great, but limited me to bitumen only and was annoying to get financially raped for any maintenance/parts. I’ve since switched to a Tiger Sport 1050, and I’ve enjoyed the insane power and great handling immensely, but I’m still stuck solely on tar, it vibrates ridiculously, is very top heavy and starting to cost a bit to maintain.
I’ve been looking to switch back to something midsized again, and had narrowed it down to the new Tracer 7 or the Transalp. But these NC750x have been drawing me in, these seem to tick the boxes for everything I really am looking for.
This is reinforced by watching you use/abuse yours in the very environment (and manner) that I have in mind.
The local Honda dealerships I’ve spoken to told me the NcC750x isn’t sold here anymore, but Honda Australia told be there hasn’t been an announcement on this bike yet and that I should keep an eye out on their social media platforms.
Tell you what, if they are sold here again, then I reckon my mind has been made up 🧐
❤ this video
Just adding my Thanks for your sensational channel… all of your thoughts & comments very much appreciated. I have the same model & also love it + can only echo your comments on long term ownership, fantastic… I love the bike for all the same reasons….cheers
Thanks mate. Appreciated
Another interesting and well presented video. I have a CB500X and love it, for many of the same reasons you love the NC750X. When the time eventually comes to change my bike, the NC may well be the choice, if I don`t get another CB. I have learned more about the NC from your videos, than any other source. Looking forward to your next 100,000km.
Hey Dave! I'm in the same boat, have you ridden the nc? I'm tempted to trade my Cb500, not sure for what reason though 😅
Stamped my 500x on a Wall
Still recovering my right arm...and a brand new 750x Is waiting for me at local Honda seller
"It doesn't matter what (bike) you ride, so long as you get out there and ride."
Well said.
31,000 miles on my 4 year old Versys 650 with almost 2 of those years in lock down.
In the US...just wanted to say how much absolute perfection & love you gave to this review. I, at 60 years old, currently ride a Versys 650 customized to my 5'7" size. It has been the perfect bike for every kind of riding I do but, I'm getting ready to buy a 2024 NC750X DCT. After a couple of Harleys, an Indian, an older Honda Shadow, and another Kawasaki cruiser.... this bike is definitely the one to finish my riding days on. I appreciate your common sense honesty that parallels my thoughts on the perfect practicality of this bike. May you have many miles with your riding partner in the years ahead. Thanks again for the most honest review of what this bike stands for in the real world that I have seen.
Oh, you are making me blush! Thanks for your kind thoughts.
Beautiful and relaxing video, Adrian. Thank you very much. I just have one "complaint" - you forgot talking about the quality of the bike's owner. Maybe he had something to do with the quality of this bike? If you don't believe me I can send you a few links to other videos from this same channel :)
Ha! Purposely avoided THAT topic. More than a few “you idiot” moments exposed when that goose was working on his bike 🤣
Well said ,I've got the 2016 nc750s, but it's nearly the same bike. Dose everything I want, and with new and second hand bikes being so expensive in Ireland at the moment I could not justify changing it for something else,it will do motorway speeds if needed and will deal with slow riding in the city without cooking itself.happy out👍
I did a review of my own on the DCT version but I've travelled nowhere near as many miles as you, it was certainly hard to come up with too many downsides, a chilled, surprisingly characterful bike that costs pennies to run, what's not to like? :) All the best from the UK, and thanks again for the great content!
The NC engine is superb and Honda improved it al lot in 21. I did 25K miles on the NC before swapping it for a 21 Forza which is a superb long distance road bike with the same engine, same low down centre of gravity and torque. I prefer torque to power every time. Glad you are still riding your customised NC. If enjoyed watching the channel since 2017 and gasping at the beautiful scenery in your videos. As a complete numpty in the garage I enjoyed the maintenance too. Keep it up 😀
Thanks mate
Your video was very touching, nice that you got a partner with whom you can share those adventures. I also like to travel but I do it in a small cb250 twister 2023, so it is a naked bike, and it can do speed highways at 110-120 kph comfortably but it lacks the features to do off road at a good pace. I was thinking to later on buy a versys x300 or a klr 650 or the nc750x (manual version) and it is so though to decide. I am inclining more between the klr 650 and the nc750.
The valve service routine is one of the things that make this bike stand out for the home service enthusiast, exceptionally easy (as you already know). I got a bill for over $2,000 Aus for my 32K km valve service on my Tiger 1200 🤥, that was pretty eye watering. Different class of bike I know but that is silly money. Always enjoy your vids, keep them going 👍
Yep. It’s nasty what bike shops charge for a “major service”. I don’t blame them really as they have lots of overheads to cover but I also don’t feel bad not giving them my custom.
Are those valve adjustments really necessary? I saw video of guy who had more than 110k miles on one of first cb500x. He told me that he was checking valves regularily but never needed adjustment. He also told me that Honda did some incredible number of hours of testing on 500 (471cc) engine and everything stayed in spec. I would think they do same testing process on all engines. Another guy did almost 300k on two back to back Super Tenere bikes. He adjusted one exhaust valve at 75k but only because it was too close to be out of spec.
@@oknevals I have a CB1100EX with 16 valves and the owners of these bikes regularly record no adjustment necessary at multiple check intervals. But if they do need adjusting its both camshafts out. However the NC750X uses the older screw & locknut system which can require a little more adjustment than the more modern shim type engines but it is very straightforward to do.
Service costs $$$$. The very reason I sold my Tiger 900 Rally and bought a RE Himalayan.
Another great video mate. I'm on my 3rd one now as I am a motorcycle courier. They've been great for the job although I've had a lot more problems than you,but I reckon most of these are down to the harsh winter weather in Scotland, which obviously your bike doesn't have to cope with.Not the most exciting bike out there and I prefer my Bandit 1250 but it's my everday companion and helps me make a living so all good.Not to keen on the new version so will maybe have to try something else for my next work bike. Might even consider a CB500X.Anyway keep up the good work on the channel and take care.
Thank you. Yes. The new 500x looks to be an excellent bike.
Enjoyed so many of your videos and your advice. The bike, after all that time and distance, is an absolute credit to you. Also to Honda. I still think this is arguably the best all round bike, bar none, of modern times.
Thanks.
Thanks mate. Appreciate you comments.
"I still think this is arguably the best all round bike, bar none, of modern times."
I've had a 2018, and now a 2023, an I 100% agree with this statement. This bike is a jewel that most people don't even see.
With ya 100% mate! Done all my own maintenance too. Not selling!
Only one problem I've had.........
I was getting engine warning light on occasionally.
I worked out it was the side stand spring gone weak and flopping about, confusing the electronics.
You'll be pleased to know I have a stiffer one now. 😁
Ha! Always good to get a stiffer one. Lucky you.
Mate the bike looks brand new!
Can tell you keep it in a garage, mine ages 20 years just after 2 weeks in the UK. 😂 Maybe I should buy a cover..
Really useful review, and a likeable bike, thank you. I always feel, if the word boring is aimed at anything with 2 wheels, frame and engine, then it says more about the person than the bike.
Well said 👍
I have a 2022 DCT and I think it's the best bike I've ever owned. Since 2007 I've had cruisers, Goldwings, etc. As they say, I second your emotions. Every time I'm out riding and see other bikes maybe I like to own, I get on my NC750 then say, Nope! It just keeps purring along. Just over 9000 miles on mine.
Ha! “I send your emotion” - I like that.
Yes, I have similar “bike envy” moments with the same conclusion.
Nice bike.
Thanks for this bike review with substance video. So many, one hour ride, 70 klm, bike reviews on UA-cam.
I'm deciding between a used V Strom 650 and an NC 750X. I've owned a V Strom 650 previously and liked it, but they are a bit top heavy with a full tank of 20 lts. I like the fact the NC750x has the weight low.
Hard choice. The Vstorm has a more powerful engine and better dirt road capability.
But the NC has better refinement (in my opinion) and lovely torque for touring.
I did 50k km on mine 2014 750X before I sold it and loved the bike. No bigger issues but still built quality is not what used to be from Honda. 3 recalls, paint pealing of from frame cause of rust, rear wheel bearing failed at 30k km, frank lock failed etc
Nice video Norm, keep it going its much appreciated! This business about the bike being underpowered prompted me to share my experience. I have a manual 2017 NCx and the first thing that (initially) disappointed was the rev limit being so low. And I did start to think ,at one point, that I bought myself a gutless wonder with great fuel economy. On the other hand my other bike has 150BHP and when I need a turn of speed on it I just feed the engine with more revs and off you jolly well go. But not so the 750x as it will quickly hit the rev limit and essentially stop forward progress BUT I've adopted a different riding style that I now very much enjoy more than I thought possible. That is to change up much, much earlier than normal to keep away from the rev limiter and it is still very suppressing to me just how quickly you get to 'enjoyable' speeds on a 50 or so BHP bike! So, I guess what my experience has been is to say that the NCx is very different bike from most others that I've ridden over the years but it will deliver if ridden appropriately so don't be put off by the fact you cant wring its neck like other bikes - cause you don't need too....
Well said.
The DCT model demonstrates how fast the bike can accelerate (although the DCT models have a different final drive ratio). Since 2017 new models rev a bit higher and in 21 the gear ratios were shortened in the lower gears.
That fuel economy really nice 😆
You just need a new DJ ha, great recap.
Im a fairly new owner of a Harley Davidson 883xl custom. everyday i dream of the ns750 dct. Cant wait to add this baby to the family. Maybe later i can add 310 gs bmw for pure offroading if not KTM.
Im 44 and by time im 50 i plan to also add a tourer not decisive yet between bmw r18 or honda goldwing (most likely ill go for goldwing esp for its auto transmission)
