Thank you so much for this review, was just spot on. Nc750x is just a great bike. I would call it a road naked bike with a bit of adventure look. 👍 Keep up your great reviews

You said it doesn't have the teeth to go long distances. What kind of distances would this do? I'm looking to ride a couple of States over and back. Not exactly across all of America. My buddys gonna get the 2019 BMW R 1250 RS . But i dont have that kinda budget. I just want to keep up. Thanks

I absolutely love my NC700X. These are amongst the most underrated bikes I’ve ever ridden.

[@mohamedfirdauskamsani3135]

I've owned hayabusa, fazer, multistrada, gsxr. I love this bike the most. This bike is just so easy. U can add your rear box and side panniers. Easy to store your stuffs, easy to ride, easy to maintain. Fuel consumption is great. Doesnt hurt your wallet at all. And it also has enough power to go long distance, u can maintain speeds of 140km/h to 160. Not too bad for a bike which is so easy. There's really nothing much to complain about for the all-rounder type of rider.

[@veiledallegory]

Just say no too skinny pants!

[@adamtschmidt4303]

I Just passed a year with my 2018 Nc750X. I call her Nancy. I have had some wonderful times with her. She handles like a dream, she showed me this by Fullerton Police Department Motorcycle Safety Course. Slow speed handling is a breeze. My bike has a manual transmission, so I am lucky there. Since the center of gravity is so low, she is very stable. Comparative to the boomers on heavy harleys having a helluva time with figure eights. She does well off road too. I slapped some shinko 705's on and followed a group down some fire roads in big bear. It was wet, but not raining, which meant that the mud had more of a clay composition. Combined with the fallen pine needles my front fender got packed so bad, I had to take it off. But what was great is since she was light comparative to the BMW GS's, Africa Twin, KTM 1190, I managed not to tire myself out picking her up. She is a daily commuter, a short little jaunt down some suburban streets. So I appreciate the high seat cause keeps me aware of all the jerks in cars. There are times when you feel the commuter aspect of this bike, cause you can rack up 100 mile plus trips in one sitting. Does she get boring though? I say nay. I still have to get some paniers and other things, so that's something to look forward to. Then you fall back on the solid reliability of the machine too. I travel down the cajon pass. There are stretches of desert where the wind is fierce. Nancy leans in and we brave the gusts. Did I save money buying a motorcycle? Short answer yes, every time I fill up. Long answer no. So she and I will be together for a while...My number 1.

[@Anandfulness]

Hilarious, i call mine Nancy as well.

[@jrkenshin1]

Hi! I have de 750X DCT 2018 and after that I bought a HD Road King 2009. I have both bikes till now. After riding the Harley, I feel very light the NC and that's a great feeling. I feel more confident in the NC. That is a great bike.

[@paintup46]

The 700X was my first bike and I didn’t love it at first. But after a few months I realized how great it was. I took that bike all over AZ, highways, city, fire roads and dirt roads for hours on end. That “frunk” is so convenient. I’ve stuffed bags of groceries in there, take out dinner for my family of 6. Literally a do it all bike. The only thing I didn’t love was the lack of power after 80 mph. It would do 85 comfortably but it didn’t have a lot of passing power around that speed.

[@Skinnymoss81]

paintup46 Yup. Same with me. I have a 2015 Nc700X

[@jkro30a]

I read somewhere, and it's true, that the NC doesn't bring you excitement, it brings you joy. As an NC owner, I can verify. It's just fun to ride. AND when you learn that 3rd gear is perfect for 35-50 mph local roads, it can verge on exciting, too, because it pulls like a locomotive. Nice review by you, sir.

[@MattLegler]

Rode a NC750X across Ireland with my wife on the back, and we loved every minute of it. We even took it off pavement a bit. After 2 hours on the bike, it was good to stop and stretch the legs. But, we could push over 3 hours without being extremely uncomfortable. I hope to get one of these myself one day.

[@Herzankerkreuz67]

Most versatile bike ever made 👍 Thanks Honda ❤🏍

[@crunchers9]

Your arguments against the bike are not helping the future of motorcycling. This bike is like the Model T and can do for motorcycles what the old Ford did for cars. It allows so many people to be able to ride a motorcycle that can go over 200 miles on the highway, carry some cargo and be dependable and affordable. It could revolutionize the industry. Get more cagers out of their cars and huge SUVs. And there you are, wishing it were exciting, which means expensive and inefficient. Think long term. Plus, we have yet another recession coming. How many exciting $15,000+ bikes will be selling the next few years? How many young riders even know how to shift? I've been riding my NC700DCT for 3 years and only long for my old sportbikes when I am riding in the canyons at a performance pace. Which is to say I'm not commuting, going to concerts, the beach, etc. The vast majority of my miles are done while I'm averaging 60 mpg. Heck, I even take mine to the airport and park for free while on vacation!

The “frunk” is for transporting a large bag of Chinese take-out food. You just lower the bag into the frunk, close the lid and head home. The food is protected from wind, remains warm.

Great review Duke. That storage compartment is genius. I love that.

[@TheOMEGANOX]

Here's the thing about this bike that most people miss, it's basically like a big comfy scooter with the same amount of storage, but a real engine and real ability to jump on the highway and cruise at 80mph if you need to and not be afraid, you got people buying these high dollar vespas and BMW C400X for essentially the same money as this bike and it's crazy, plus the big volume dealers will discount the MSRP more than you think, there are people buying these for under 8k out the door, it's really a well kept secret in the industry, it also works great two up, if anyone ever thought about dropping 7-8k on a maxi scooter and overlooks this bike as an alternative, they messed up.

[@teambenjamin1]

TheOMEGANOX yep, picked up a brand new 2018 DCT version for $6950. Plenty of low and midrange torque, not gonna win any drag races, but it is so planted on the freeway and flickable in the corners; very confidence inspiring!

[@vvtor]

I bought it few months ago and have 500 km on it. Bike is amazing, you just use gas and breaks, engine does everything by itself. This is very good for cruising around town as you don't have to shift all the time. For more performance I usually put it in Sport 3. Frunk is godsend and with it I don't have to think about buying bags. When you push throttle it will shift down 2 gears to give you power you need. I have to say that my ass hurts from 5 hours on it, but that is probably because I am not used to sitting like that. Some helmets can fit in the frunk, but my modular cannot, anyway i use it for locks, drinks, covers,... I have not regretted one bit buying this one. And I do go off road, nothing drastic, but no issues getting places with lumpy dirt road.

I see a lot of criticism is that the NC is a bit pedestrian, or pretty good at everything, but not exceptional at anything. I beg to differ. A reasonably priced bike, that's this much fun, isn't phased by a dirt track, can handle well on paved roads, easily topping 100mph and delivering 100mpg when driven carefully, is nothing short of an absolute marvel.

Don't know if the OP will see this post, but if he or any other owner could respond I'd appreciate it. On a normal (manual shift) bike, if you are traveling at super low speeds and turning a little, you can 'feather' the clutch to help you keep just the right amount of momentum while still maintaining your balance. Just wondering how (or if) that would ever work on a DCT bike??? No clutch to feather, so what would you do?? Scratching my head on that one. (I have never ridden a DCT bike.)

[@Pertplus]

How do you make it go ?

[@spyder000069]

The question this video doesn't answer is how about comparing the NC750X (non-dct) to the CB500X. As a owner of a ctx700 (non-dct) I actually like its low reving quiet engine but am curious about the more traditional cb500x higher reving engine and if it is significantly more buzzy to ride. Or it is just the right combo to make it more lively to ride. I believe HP is about the same between the bikes and the CB actually has a larger fuel tank at 4.6 gallons versus the NC's 3.7 gallons. So if fuel mileage is close between the two bikes the CB will have much longer legs. The CB is 50lbs lighter as well and now adds a slightly larger front tire for better off pavement capability and is $1300 cheaper. So minus the frunk is the NC really still a good option? It would have been interesting to see the reviewer drive those two models back to back and hear the opinion.

[@VinnyVinceViper]

My question might be weird or pure dumb but hell, is it possible on those DCT bikes to have the rear brake changed/modified in a left-side lever just like a bicycle instead of foot brake? I can not trust my ankles as they make my legs twitch like if I'm listening to techno at 4 times the speed, it happens rarely but still worries me enough in case the twitch starts just as I would need to brake and scared it might make me lock the back wheel ( and from videos I seen this is NOT good at all if I want to live ) The bike as my profile pic is an electric-assisted Bicycle based on the Ninja 300 ( EMMO Zone GTS ), max speed is around 50kph and max range on Gel/acid batteries is around 85/90km if riding on 2nd gear, I bought it because of my issues, no need for a license or insurance and I wanted a 2wheel experience that is not a typical bicycle ( since I can't pedal those things anymore anyway ) and Man from day 2 on this thing I want a real gas bike so I can travel around and see Canada from 1 side to the other and finally feel alive!

[@mrg865]

How is this bike handle at slow speed turns, U-turns? Since it doesn’t have a traditional clutch where you can find the friction zone.

[@stevebolton8471]

To do u-turns you should hold the bike on the rear brake and use slight power, if you start to fall over you can release the brake faster than revving up the bike. It is no different on DCT.

[@equaliser2265]

Its fantastic for long distance. All the way down to the balkans. Nice..

[@mephistopheles5327]

How do you do friction zone when turning or making tight u turns?

[@stevebolton8471]

Throttle take up is gentle at the beginning and anyway you should use the rear brake to control low speed turns with a bit more throttle on any bike. Much safer than trying to feather the clutch or move the throttle.

[@Th3Shrike]

Should try to get your hands on a Honda CBR500R

[@tgrman1]

where do you put the gas in ? right next to the hot engine ? is that a good idea ? also im not a fan of the skinny little bicycle handlebars

[@Truthseeker71]

The gas cap is actually under the passenger seat. It hinges in the back. Kind of neat but could be a pain if you have stuff strapped to the seat. The awesome trunk storage negates this problem somewhat, though. I'm seriously considering buying this bike this very day.

[@davidtaylor8304]

The two hydraulic clutches will last longer if - when waiting at a red light, for example - the transmission is switched into neutral. When it's time to move, it can be switched back to Drive mode with almost instant engagement of the appropriate clutch while retaining your previously selected Ride Mode of S1/S2/S3. D.C.T. never loses traction untill overridden by the Traction Control, not even for a split second while changing gear. All clever stuff. Stay safe out there.

[@stevebolton8471]

Have you heard of the clutches not lasting? On the Uk forums some of the bikes have done over 120k miles with no problems. There were issues in early models with the selector pin breaking around 60K but not recently.

Regarding the excitement that the bike it's offering I can say it's not a racing bike for sure, HOWEVER it offers some excitement of the turns due to it's low center of gravity and great handling. DCT it's an absolute must especially for this particular bike. Greetings and I appreciate your honest review and opinion!

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

59mpg? WTF??? I get 80-100mpg out of my 750DCT EVERY TANKFUL. Something wrong if all you can get is 59. These bikes are truly incredible. The only thing in my opinion that could improve one is the addition of cruise control.

[@BibtheBoulder]

I ride an NC750X DCT and as you say, there must be something wrong if all he can get is 59mpg. I get 70 even when I thrash it, and I agree, go steady and it will indeed return 100mpg.

[@Supernumerary]

I have 2012 NC700X with DCT. Regardless of how I ride fuel consumption is consistently 62MPG. “Gasoline” here in Minnesota contains about 15% ethanol, which I believe increases fuel consumption.

[@SuperMegaSammy]

I get 55 mpg but im heavy on the throttle and used manual mode all the time.

[@christianweller4288]

Check the difference between US and Imperial gallons.... just saying.

[@porkchop10]

I'm right around 60-62 in S1 mode. Best I got was 70 in Drive, but I prefer to hammer it everywhere I go...my first season ever as a rider and already find the "power" to be a bit lackluster after putting 2,000 miles on it. Could use another 20 hp.

[@ejmcd7495]

I want one but am worried about it being big enough. I’m 6’ and 260 lbs. I can’t find reviews for larger framed riders.

[@bikerrinus]

I found this channel only yesterday, so this is a late reaction: I am 1,96 meter and 110 kg (6,4' and 240lbs). I owned a Honda VFR1200X. My wife bought a NC700X DCT and I liked that bike more than my VFR, so I sold it and bought a NC750X DCT. An upholsterer modified the seat, made it more than an inch higher and I mounted adjustable footpegs. This modifications made the bike very suitable for me. Riding the bike for hours is no problem. The NC can carry a heavy load (460lbs, about 60lbs more than the VFR1200X!). If you want to know more about the adjustable footpegs: look for the KZbin channel Honda NC750X Stuff, a very useful and enjoyable channel for NC-riders. The modifications costed me less than 300 dollars (230 euro). I also installed a new mount for my windscreen from Palmer Products, it is now adjustable in hight and angle. Hopefully my late reaction is still useful.

[@tatatade]

Superb contents your motorcycle has,I feel something artistic,I also sent LIKE👍 I know, We are HONDA lover

[@jasonpierson9829]

Been wanting one for a couple of years. Saving my pennies for one

[@DukeOfDC]

I hope you get one soon! Good luck and safe riding

[@davegutierrez6006]

Bro are they same engine of adv750?

[@12TBJ34]

Yes. Same engine. Different tuning.

[@jazbuh1794]

Not sure the 750 will come with a clutch but the NC700X does have that option; wonder if the review would be different wtih that bike?

[@stevebolton8471]

Yes DCT is a choice on all of the NC750 powered bikes and will be on the new Euro 5 compliant engine coming next year.

[@williamrose2506]

Big question for me before buying is how much vibration/buzz is there?

[@DukeOfDC]

Very minimal vibration. This really is a very comfortable motorcycle

[@PistonrockTV]

Can you rev bomb in neatral in manual mode ? Regardless I want one

[@user-nt1jf3yl3f]

Yes. Lol.

[@bradmondrush4501]

I have wanted to get into riding and i was looking at this one for my first, is this one a good idea?

[@SvenTSchixe]

Yes as long as you can flat foot the bike. If you are new to riding I would always recommend you be able to flat foot the bike, I always say you should be flat footing ALL of the time, however if your experienced already that can be a big difference for trying to back up or stop at a stop light - that kind of thing. If new to riding you could fall over. Other advice I would give to someone is make your first bike a cheap (er) one, not junk though, and ride it for a year or first season. The reason being is that if you do not like riding or you drop the bike, this is only a matter of "if" not "when", then you are not doing that to something that is expensive, even though expensive is relative to each individual's income or taste. Maybe if this size 745cc is not the size machine that you are comfortable with, I think the 500cc mark is probably a better beginner entry point. Just some suggestions, I had started on a 2011 Honda CBR250R non ABS version. Loved it. Take care and best of luck bud.✌🍻

[@joesarks]

@@SvenTSchixe Appreciate you taking the time to write this post for beginners---a lot of great information.

[@SvenTSchixe]

@@joesarks Certainly, glad I could help. Take care✌🍻

[@voodoopup4376]

I'm looking for a starter bike and this is the only one my dealership sales that I can afford to just straight up buy.

[@mwevre1876]

I have a 2014 and it was my first bike. Perfect starter bike, especially if you get DCT

[@jaxwylde2139]

So what makes a bike exciting? Going 100 mph above the speed limit without even trying? Doing wheelies every time you twist the throttle? Going around bends at speeds that put your life at risk? If the NC750X can't do any of those things that's fine with me. When I ride, I like to enjoy the scenery and prefer a bike that is reliable, fuel efficient, and versatile. It looks like the NC750x (particularly the 2021 model) ticks all those boxes. For me, it's a perfect bike. And that, makes it exciting!

[@user-nt1jf3yl3f]

It’s a super fun bike. It’s all about perspective and when they say ‘exciting ‘ they mean like a rocket ship. Lol. I agree, I don’t need all that power. This bike WILL get you in trouble if you want it to. 😎

[@MisterSuki]

Like this bike a lot and gave it serious thought. I just think, or wish Honda could squeeze a little more power out of the 750cc. I know it's not necessary for the typical use...but it would be nice. Especially if you load up with luggage and gear for touring across country...which the bike is capable of. I also seriously considered a Suzuki Burgman 650 Exec. Ultimately I scooped a great deal on a new 2018 Suzuki VStrom 1000XT with the goal of exploring the US back roads. Postscript...I was ready to ride a twist and go but, well...maybe next time.

[@sla0x00]

2:21 What is it at the back?

[@asareeeric]

When can we get the ultimate review and comparison between he BMW F900 XR, Ducati Multistrada 950 and Triumph Tiger 900? Mainly for commuting and touring.

[@stevebolton8471]

Google is your friend!

[@jasonpierson9829]

That's going to be my next bike

[@tomascolz6375]

Have one with Manual clutches Stay health greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@benwells2338]

This bike properly needs more exposure to the general public. Such a great commute option and will get ya the gas mileage in something far more fun to drive than a Prius! 😁 Motorcycle commuters unite!

[@Xxjulia135xX]

Would you recommend this bike for a first time rider?

[@DukeOfDC]

Actually yes! It’s a great bike for a first time rider. Great value, easy to use power, and the storage. It’s a little tall, but if that’s not something you’re worried about then you’re gravy

[@bienloayon4841]

Hello. How about the km/l Fuel consumption??? Good or Bad???

[@aluet30]

235/mpg(USA) = L/100km. In this case : 235/59 = 4,0L/100km

[@lionsden6960]

21 litres compartment in a bike?!! 🧐 That is a great feature to provide in bikes in india 👌👍

[@DukeOfDC]

I agree it’s an amazing feature

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

Great bike. I'd take the screen off and fit a set of Renthal fat bars. If you prefer manual, just stick it in manual mode and use the paddle shifter.

[@khodiak]

So are you not posting anymore vids? I'm in the market for my first bike finding actual useful reviews like these on current bikes is rare. Most of it is hard to understand or watch. Hope to see you back soon. Take care!

[@DukeOfDC]

The pandemic has taken its toll on every aspect of life. This channel unfortunately has gone into a temporary cryo-sleep haha. It won’t be gone forever though!

[@cdsjs]

Can this be imported in india?
