Honda NC700X Owners Review

[@christianschill1658]

You're pretty enthusiastic about that bike. I have one since June 2013, with DCT, red color, my first motorbike at 49. Totally happy with it 9500 km in 7 months. Not a single day I regretted to have bought it, even not the day it fell on my foot and gave me 6 weeks extra holidays. The bike was not damaged at all and my foot has healed in between. Cheers from Alsace, France, Christian.

Eric, I wish to thank you and other motorbike Vlogers for giving me the confidence to get back in the saddle. I had a bad accident when I was 19 on my brand new NS125 when I was the victim of a hit and run. I'm 45 now and I can drive everything on the British roads but never had the balls to get back on a bike. Your vlog and others has whetted my appetite to be on two wheels again. As my mate said to me today, "you'll be the Swiss Army knife of transport".

[@KingLies]

Well done mate. :)

[@Zooumberg]

I completed the CBT yesterday. Easy, I was a bit useless at first, after an hour it all came back to me. Thanks King.

[@KingLies]

Zooumberg No worries. We're all brothers on two wheels. ;)

[@Zooumberg]

Well apart from moped riders lol.

[@MrGuitardude147]

Best review I've ever seen in a while I'm thinking about getting this as my first bike and everything you said makes me want the bike more and more. Thanks finally ending my search.

[@stevenatleven]

Nice review Eric. I bought a demo with 1k and less than 5 grand. Farkled up for touring cost lest than a grand, great bike had mine down to Morocco and back to Scotland never missed a beat and still got 5mm on the back tyre,does everything my previous bigger bikes have done at half the cost. Well done Honda for seeing the writing on the wall

[@mellingmichael777]

Nice review! I love the storage box and that it gets such fantastic mileage, but would like it even more if it was shaft-drive and didn't have the rev limiter.

[@josephmeredith2978]

I bought one its brilliant it handles well its economical and does what it says on the tin .

[@ericbusa]

Hi Bud, glad u liked the NC700x review, there was more to say but run out of time, I did test ride the DCT version as back to back will the standard one, think of it as a scooter with a chain but with a gearbox changing up and down.

[@lucymuffin30]

Nice review, I also love mine.. Got just under 9000km and what a sweet bike! Well done Honda!!!

[@bve7397]

Looks like a practical bike, might switch my Honda Deauville 650 out for it next year! Although I would like to see a shaft drive on my bike.. but this bike has a much better fuel economy, and is also a tad bid lighter and probably more fun to ride. Can be used for my comutte, but also a big tour!

[@Dylan-ow5nl]

Doing my CBT this year and hopefully getting this amazing bike next year :D amazing review btw

[@ericbusa]

Yeah I think Steve Smith is missing the point a bit, the versys doesn't do 80.7 miles to the gallon and have a top box built in

[@Happyfaceshock]

Man, I want this bike so much!! Fell in love with it the moment I saw it, not even passed my test yet, but after looking at every bike I'd be able to ride on A2, even those that need to be restricted, this one is by far the one I want. Great video, what's the acceleration like? Obviously I'm not expecting anything mind blowing but I'd hate for it to feel as though it was lacking, like a couple of people have mentioned with other Honda tourers such as the CB500x

[@jasonmelo1974]

Mine has a gear indicator.

[@marielleforgotmylastname8282]

The only thing I can think of that I really wish it had was a belt instead of a chain. Damn, I REALLY want this thing. Can't afford it yet and afraid I'll drop it though. Pretty new to motorcycles as I've been using a helix forever

[@davids6533]

I don't know if you will see this, but if you do, check out Doodle on a Motorcycle on YT. She started from scratch, no scooter or anything. I think you would enjoy her videos.

[@Husaria28]

I ve got nc750s with dct in red colour and it Has gear indicator and some other slightly changes. Dont hesitate when you are looking for decent bike.

[@garryhopkins]

Thanks for the review. How do you find the power/acceleration? There has been some talk about the low rev range of the engine limiting performance.

[@ericbusa]

Hi Garry, well the power/acceleration has not been an problem for me, maybe because my main bike is a bmw gs ride the torque thing, but if your into revving sport bikes well !!!!????

[@jblifeasitis895]

Yes a good review, and i have seen several, it's just a very good machine. I even think to buy one in a few years, but then the DCT version.

[@EFA22000]

Hi Eric, nice review as usual. I test drived the nc750x yesterday, same bike in my opinion but the gear ratios are even taller so you don't hit the rev limiter by accident anymore. Time to make a decision, for travelling what would you chose? A brand new nc750x or a used 07r1200gs? Thanks by advance for your answer.

[@vitocolano6701]

Excellent review, seems like a great bike. I've got my sights on a used one after I'm done at the uni ;)

[@mushroomcloud1]

Very complete review, Thanks.

[@ZoneTelevision]

Nice review thanks !

[@nikesoccer275]

Good review!! I want one as a daily...

[@toc30]

fantastic review!

[@Jimo368]

Nice review, I'm considering replacing my ST13 Pan with something lighter.

[@obieezx11]

my Kawasaki 1100 gets 350 km out of a 20 liter tank when ridden hard more if you stick to 100 120 kmh whats that like compared to your 700?

[@shaneberkness2124]

Yamaha FZ-09 vs. Honda NC700X. Basically Power & Torque vs. Storage & MPG. Kind of a toss up for me because I like both and it's hard to find a bike with both for around $8,000.

[@KingLies]

What's the suspension like? How well does it handle sudden big holes in the road?

[@obieezx11]

yes but the 125 scooter for it size is pulling something way heavyer than the 700 is for its size stick someone half your size on the 125 and it will do as good as the 700 if not better

[@hcw199]

I just bought a dct model... Pretty happy so far, my helmet don't fit though :-( but I have a large full face helmet.

[@obieezx11]

how many liters dose the fuel tank hold eric?

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

i like this bike

[@liam1666]

brillent review!

[@PedroRibeiroKhamsim]

You bought one!?

[@armourednurse1162]

Eric, Are the pannier's and top box from the 'Adventure shop' you visited in Essex? What make are they please, it was difficult to see when paused. Atb Alan :)

[@ericbusa]

Hi Alan, yes the adventure bike shop would be able to supply the panniers and top box the the nc700x, glad u like the videos take care and stay safe Eric

[@ericbusa]

Did I not say in the vid well the tank holds 3.7 gall

[@MotoGoYo]

Youd be a good salesman!

[@obieezx11]

I CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER ON MY BIKE EVERY 1000 KM THEY SAY THEY ARE GOOD FOR 5 BUT OIL AND FILTERS ARE CHEAPER THAN THE REBUILD YOU WILL HAVE TO DO AT THE END OF THE DAY

[@PatrizioBassoRicci]

nice. Thanks.

[@ericbusa]

Wow !!!!! 93mpg holy crap that's F#~ AWESOME

[@MrUtad]

this is the bike that I need but i cannot afford it as of now. Maybe the 2020 model. 😆

[@ALLWEATHERRIDERM]

nice one eric

[@obieezx11]

its a Honda and whats worse is its a new model so you don't know yet weather its going to have issues or not as its not had years of trail and error yet

[@wilshirewarrior2783]

DCT would be my choice for this unit...low rev limit will keep you short shifting and busy unnecessarilly.

[@joecamel6835]

Not true, I test rode it and was flying in every gear before the rev limit hit , it's nice doing 70 mph at less than 4K rpms ..so smooth and vibration free.

[@eliarevalo]

Oh man....Must have....Bike...now!!!!!!!

[@obieezx11]

cant remember hearing it so 3.7 whats that in liter's about 15 or so liters not real big man good thing its good on fuel hey lol.

[@keepitrunning]

Speak up! Thank for sharing though, as all those who say this is not a motorcycle but a glorified scooter, to me scooters are motorcycles as well, I'd even allow my wife's MP3LT to come under that heading too even though it's classed as trike. In the end we're all on the same road, and all treated as second class citizens by some and not even all of those on four wheels or more. Yes, I'm talking to you power rangers and weekend warriors.

[@keepitrunning]

£1200 I'd need a whole bike for that, but then I work in the trade so therefore can not afford new bikes.

[@xboxluva22]

220 miles I need to sell my 599 and get a honda nc700x

[@katsorme9879]

Its BALDRICK speaking!!!!!!!!

[@ericbusa]

Yer I can talk the Hine legs off a donkey, just like a good salesman

[@neby_nebs]

It looked like you pissed in your drink lol

[@obieezx11]

Since Eric didn't do it for you i will $7200.00 pommy = $12148.76 Australia $11966.63 Canadian $11510.64 American

[@obieezx11]

yep and if you put the pannias on it would look even uglier i must admit tho it looks way better than them ugly bmw's lol

[@shane1v]

it's 670cc's, not 700. Nice video, thanks

[@JimmySlacksack]

must be a shit 125 scooter you own then coz mine does 120mpg !
