Honda NC750X - Is it the most BORING bike I have ever owned

[@julianmagrubb1850]

I had a NC700X from 2013 to 2019 and did about 20000 miles on it, including trips from England to France and Germany. It was so awful that when I changed it in May last year, I had to get something at least a little different, so I forced myself to buy a new NC750X DCT.......

[@RobertLeeLewisThe2nd]

Sounds like my experience. I started with the NC700X DCT. It is actually only 670cc. Compare that to the NC750X with 749cc displacement. That is over 10% increase in displacement and approximately 8% increase in horsepower. When I upgraded to the NC750, I really felt the increase in power. And the DCT advanced by one generation at the same time. So, more power (same weight) and smoother transmission. I love the NC750X. I added HONDA top case and paniers, heated grips, a Madstad windshield (I STONGLY recommend the Madstad system), and some lights. COMPLAINT: The new LED headlight is a bright horizontal beam that leans with the bike, causing blind spots on curves at night.

[@robertwolfe2971]

Maybe you should hitch hike you meat some pretty interesting people and have a blast walking everywhere.

[@raulcantu6842]

I love boring. My boring life would be perfectly boring with this boring motorcycle.

[@Aluten1985]

I'm young, 35, and I own this bike. I like hearing a 66 year old saying what I know deep down is true. I look at the GS and KTM's that my friends ride but the extra cost for those bikes just doesn't quite justify it to me. You pay 100% more for a new one and get 10-20% more experience and then on the maintenance/longevity side they're actually losing. I"m not the cool guy in the fleet but like you say, I go wherever they do and if there's ever drama surrounding breakdowns, it ain't me.

[@Herzankerkreuz67]

My Honda NC700S, that I bought in 2013 and has now 106.000 km is so boring that I have decided to keep it as long as I can. I am saying as long as I can because the bike doesn't show any signs of letting me down. In fact I found the bike so terribly boring that I also have a NC750S, from 2014 , that I bought used in 2017 from my local Honda dealer. I told the dealer that I would give this terribly boring bike a good home and always enough fuel, oil, care and maintenance and off I went. No regrets whatsoever, and before I forget let me say thank you Honda for the most boring bike there is, since it suits me like a glove. Thank you for your channel Sir, sharing your thoughts and stories of a really good , boring, excellent motorcycle. Safe rides and travels 👍🏍🙏

Fantastic review, I did 18,000 boring miles in a year on my NC750X through 14 countries with a mixture of camping and hotels. I sold it and and bought a Ducati Multistrada 1200, what a mistake that was too tall and heavy comfortable saddle was the only thing going for it. Currently looking for another NC750X or possible a CB500X as it's supposed to be more off roady. Keep up the good work !

Mine is even more boring now I fitted a Shad seat on it and my backside doesn’t ache after an hours riding.

[@chriswong1109]

Just brought an NC. Looking at your past bikes, you have had a lot more dirt oriented bikes than I did. Your idea of off road boredom would be VERY exciting for me! However, I can relate to the pleasures of boredom as I own four late model GP 2 strokes, exciting track bikes to 99.9% of riders. On a twisty road I would take the boring NC any day, exemplifying your comment at 4.20 that the road is not a racetrack. The soporific manner the NC eats up "twisties" takes boredom to new heights. I have never "tolerated" boredom so much in my life. Now to find a dirt road to make my NC exciting! Great review, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have enjoyed my NC750x since day one. 8 months in and I’m still in love. I’ve ridden for over 30 yrs; Honda Rebel 250, Yamaha VStar 650, Yamaha FJR1300, etc. Loved them all. But this ‘21 Honda NC750x DCT seems so ideal! Low maintenance, lightweight, low center of gravity, no clutching! I’m just totally enjoying the ride and the scenery. And yes, when I bring a guest along, the ride is no less thrilling! Power, no problem… Ride safe!

[@zeuszoegutsy]

[@snap-happy]

I’m on my second NC750X, does this make me a masochist? As my bike is now three years old, and with BMW having launched the F900 XR, I was convinced this was going to be my next purchase. However, after taking one on a test ride my hopes were dashed - completely! It was a wet day, the white demo bike arrived covered in road filth as a result of having woefully small mudguards. It troubled me that I was contemplating spending a five figure sum on something that would rarely look clean. Anyway, I was prepared to overlook the this, but, within 10 minutes of riding it, it was the vibrations through the handlebars, resulting in pins and needles in my hands, that ended my dreams. I was gutted! But I also had concerns about the worrying metallic noises this BMW engine makes at all speeds. Oh well...back to he drawing board. For now I’ll stick to 80mpg, cheap insurance, having a useful frunk, bags of low-down grunt and being (happily) boring.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Yes. It’s disappointing you don’t feel man enough to own a BMW.

[@1966johnnywayne]

I love the constant reminder that I'm not riding a real bike everytime I pull away from a stop and the DCT does the shifting for me...and the 3.2l/100 km, well, real riders on real bikes don't even know how much fuel their real bikes consume. On the down side, being colour blind, the light show on the dash is lost on me...do other riders actually take notice of this feature? Additionally, I love that it's not a popular bike here in Canada. I recently picked up a new, old stock 2018 with an out the door savings of $3500 over the current year model...$9200 Cdn (7012 USD, 5927 Euro) all in 😊

[@stevebolton8471]

Enjoy the ride and stay safe.

[@stevebolton8471]

1966johnnywayne Your reply led me to a page explaining the difference between the mile definitions. I just know I always pick UK miles on Fuelly.

This is just the video I needed as i'm in a horrible situation. I've had so many bikes over the years, but mostly sportsbikes, had a bit of everything from Super Blackbirds, Fazer 600's etc, enjoyed them all but 99% of my riding is commuting because the bike is my only transport. Years and years ago I had both a Triumph Speed Four and a Triumph TT600 and they cemented themselves as my favourite bikes of all time...so much so that I purchased myself an extremely tidy TT600 3 weeks ago and I was back in heaven, problem with these is they are bastards to do even the simplest of jobs on, they guzzle fuel, even after updating fuel maps, they have the terrible throttle response and lack of low down power that causes issues during every day road riding. A few days ago a lady pulled right out from her driveway without looking and smashed into the side of me, my TT600 was a write off, as was her car so I'm proud of the bike for at least getting in its revenge before kicking the bucket. My insurance company dropped off a hire bike for me (that amazingly gets charged against her insurer, this is to make them hurry up and not drag their feet, works too). The bike they dropped off was a 2019 NC750X, I've not had a chance to ride it yet, but I knew very little about them and have been watching your video's, and it seems the perfect ideal bike for me, once my leg and shoulder are a bit better I'll be able to take it for a spin, but watching this vid has made me realize that as much as I love those Triumphs, and those sorts of bikes, perhaps it's time I let them go and just let them be a memory, and that the NC750X is the most sensible and practical bike that ticks every single thing I need. Thanks for the video, I think the sarcasm and good old Aussieness of it all has helped me see sense over here in the UK!

The biking world is rather too full of not very bright people who have far too much influence over the gullible and easily persuaded, which is why the adventure biking world is full of absurd myths.

The NC is a modern bike for today easy to dismiss on looks alone but ride one and it all comes together ! It’s the step before electric takes over folks , Honda knows where it’s going!

Got to the 8:00 min mark before I realised this was sarcasm.

Wow. Well done to get that far in.

@@AfricaTwin-Stuff I’m a Scot, I think the Aussie accent kinda threw me off a bit 😂

Accent? Accent? I don’t have an accent!

Boring?? You don't know the meaning of the word. Took mine out the other day for a ride no more than 5 klm from home in this lock down. Now, that's boring. Great video and you sum the bike up so well. Thank you

[@philippemalfait]

How boring is that!😂I suddenly feel the need to be bored on my nc for the all day tomorrow , even more boring with dct😴

[@thomas1966schaefer]

Hello, great video. Exactly my thoughts and experiences with the Honda NCX 750. Have fun with your next trip. Thomas / Germany

[@patrickdavis7815]

great sarcasm ...wonderful

[@martinsmotorbikestuff2478]

As an R1200GS owner, I think you're giving the GS too much credit. In general, the GS is equally boring as the NC750X, the only extra excitement you get with the Beemer, is a few moments of anxiety between walking into the workshop to pick up your bike after maintenance, and being presented with the maintenance bill.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Hmm. I think you are right. I owned a 1150GS for 13 years and did my own maintenance so missed that excitement.

Really loved your videos and they helped me decide buying one of these amazing machines. I bought a used one a couple of days ago, the 2016 750x dct version, 13k km on board. I love to ride this, is so easy to ride, so nimble and compared to my last bike who had double the power and the horses I ride this one MUCH faster than that one and much more relaxed and focused. Very comfortable and I really like that the exhaust is not loud and the engine has a low rumble, is just perfect for my ears. It's just full of small things that just makes you smile. I'm sure all the motorcyclists that don't see it as a real bike due to low specs and no gear shift(on DCT version), once given the chance to ride it, it will change their minds. Thank you for posting these videos, really had an impact on my decision, especially that sarcams.

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Thanks mate. So glad you are having your own adventures.

[@Cajva]

@James Stewart there is the manual version too, with gear shift and everything.

[@tiggywawa]

So true... good job you haven't got DCT... you'd be bored to death!! ... probably the best bike I've ever had too!

[@grissle8547]

😎 👍 I must say, very well narrated mate, be well & ride safe.

[@martinarmer240]

Looking forward to being bored on an nc750x v soon 😅

[@ewadge]

I used to own a BMW R1200C. I sold it to buy an NC750X. The repair bills were really exciting and I would get palpitations and cold sweats when given quotes for repairs. Also, although it rode great, I was always excited (nervous) that every mile I drove was one mile closer to something really expensive going wrong.

[@Jorge-dn1jz]

I absolutely agree with everything u said, I'm a proud owner of a nc 700x and I was considering in changing into a bigger ,"funnier" bike but everyday I'm finding no reasons to do it mainly cause everything you've considered in your video it's true... There is no boring bikes there are boring bikers instead Greetings from Spain

[@AfricaTwin-Stuff]

Yes I agree.
