Honda are in a difficult position. If they change the NC too much then people will say it is no longer an NC; if they only slightly change it then people will say that it is just the same old NC but at a higher price. Things I like with the new version:- New speedo (so long as it is clearer than the existing LCD in daylight) Slipper clutch New headlight (I don't think the existing LED headlight is good in daylight riding) Things I don't like:- Shorter 1-3 gears (If I wanted faster acceleration I would buy a sportier bike) Horn button still in wrong position (they got it right in the 1960s/70s - why change?) Still no external fuel filler (annoying when carrying luggage on seat) It would be interesting to know if they have improved the seat slope / seat padding (they have not listened so far; will they ever?) I doubt I would change my NC for this new version but that is a mark of how good the last NC was/is.

@Donaldo I have a 2018 NC with manual gearbox and find the existing ratios perfectly OK. It might just be me but shorter gears 1-3 will be too low and be frustrating to use. The NC is a brilliant bike and hopefully this new one keeps the character of the old model.

Watching from the USA. Europe gets updated models one or more years sooner than we do in the USA, usually, so I don't expect to see this new model in the USA for a year or two, at least. Question: It appears there is an additional headlight in the "beak," under the LED headlight. Perhaps this light is designed to address a problem I have with the current version: cornering at night. The headlight emits a bright, but horizontal, beam of light. Fine for straight roads. But when leaning into a turn, the horizontal beam leans into the curve, creating blind spots. This calls for "leaning lights" or a better distributed led headlight beam. I had the previous NC700, which had not yet adopted the LED headlight, and there was no problem in the turns.

Those boxes will be significantly more expensive than what's available in the after market. After dinging you for the boxes Honda dings you some more with the overly expensive carriers and locks. The Shad aftermarket boxes look pretty nice but they are way less money. Maybe they will come out with a road ready version with the boxes and bars included as a package for a somewhat lower cost. Those lights are ridiculously expensive, too. I would definitely go after market for the lights.

I owned a 2015 NC750X DCT model and now the 2019 model. The only thing that wolud really make me think of upgrading for this new model, is that ride height of 800 mm that translates in better handling. But at a cost of a lower ground clearence, I don't think it's a better trade. Oh well, I gess you can't have everything. Sure Honda is concentrating it's efforts on deviating this motorbike from adventure role to a more road/commute bike. That's a shame and really tells their intentions about a new model to fill the gap they are creating on purpose. Also, the initial essence of an affordable motorbike that can deal with almost all our needs of commute and fun travel, is further and further away at this (expected) price tag. All in all, i don't think there are enough reasons to justify the updrading.

Luis, just let's be patient and wait for the 2022 new Honda Transalp/ 850 Africa Twin. I've spoken with the dealer and all the informations are leading to 2022 for what we are all expecting. 2020 was a difficult year for everyone all over the world. It would have been a difficult challenge for Honda to compete with the already established other brands when it comes to middleweight adventure bike... Just think about Tenere 700, 850 GS and KTM Adventure 790.

I like it. The improvements make sense for me, but I hoped for more. I thought of the new engine with even more power (66HP+) which patents were in media. Also a TFT dashboard with integration should be offered. Smartphone navigation on the instuments seems to get standard, Triumph and Royal Enfield have it on multiple models already, Kawasaki offers a nice TFT in Z650, Honda seems here behind :( Maybe this will come in the next evolution step. Being more streetbike is no problem for me, even a plus. Lets be honest, that bit gravel road that most adventurebike owners call offroad can be also done on a NC750S with road tires. That is also the same for the NC power. Of course more is always better, but to be honest even the current 54HP are more then enough to have fun and to loose driver license quickly. As the rumors of a new Honda adventurebike , smaller then africa twin, exist a offroad NC750X would be a close oponnent to it... undesired for honda. I thought of introducing a NC800S street/naked and a NC800X "Transalp". Now it looks like we have a merged NC750X "Deauville" which is ok for me ... we will see what will be added in future. Also I would love to get more comfort features of a X-ADV /Forza on a NC, being completely aware of a higher price... Keyless, Doublefrontdisc brake, adjustable windshield... Again: the updates are nice. But for most NC owners maybe not enough to get a new one. The gear ratios however... I am not sure if this makes sense on the manual transmission. In the lower gears The NC reached the limiter already quite fast. Yes it can now rev higher, but as the gear ratio is shorter... It will accelerate likely faster but again fast in limiter. On the higher gears however... the 6th is already slightly to much. The VMAX will be reached in the 5th most likely i the future.

Very impressive review of specs IdealBike I put a link of your video in the 2021 NC topic of our forum in France This 2021 update is the most important evolution since this model launch in 2012. I find it of course very attractive as often when a brand shows is brand new model. For me the most important evolution have not been done : comfort What about the new suspension that have been lowered, what about the seat that seems the same, what about the wind protection that seems to not bring improvement... Comfort which was a weakness have been forgotten 😢🙁

Great & VERY informative video, as was your previous review of the 2019 NC750X model, & your related Top 10 upgrade recommendations for the same bike. However, with so many excellent and often pricey accessories available, notwithstanding storage related additions/improvements, I find myself wondering at what point would it be better to take say $4000 - $5000 of potential upgrades for a new NC750X, and redirect those funds toward the purchase of a better, much more capable, Honda model like a base model Africa Twin.
@IdealBike3 жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot for watching my videos, really appreciate your comment! This its a great topic and a very pertinent question. I would say, if the bike its offering a great all in all package like our NC750X then it worth spending another 2000$ for some upgrades and keep the bike for a longer period of time and take the most out of it can offer. If you would like more off road capable bike, then the money should go for another bike like the new 2022 Transalp or CRF850 (we dont know exacly what Honda its planning with this middleweight adventure bike).

All those unneccessary (probably unwanted) electronics and still no center stand??? No radiator guard? No significant upgrades on the brakes? Very strange decissions at the Honda departments! A lot of good and helpful critics by your audience I have read here. Honda should listen to us and stop with adding more gadgets to a standard model, which we are able to choose and buy if we want them when they optionally offer those for reasonable prices. Please, let's stay with the basics, Honda. For travelling, I want simple travel adds, like easy rack and case mounting and strapping stuff at the first place, as like (much) less weight. Damn those extra 4 horsepower and some slightly faster accelleration... That DOES NOT make my day!

Tested one. Great, easy to handle bike. What I do not like is small storage box. They wasted a lot of space for nothing - easy to find there at least 5liters more for gloves, rain jacket, safe-lock. This storage is really small - some of bigger helmets will never fit inside. This is the biggest problem of this bike in my opinion. Second irritating thing is chain. Big maintenance problem. It should have belt drive. I hate all these ugly cartoon boxes but if I need to mount one I'd like just to do "click" and it's done. So some mounting point for box should come by default. Instead Honda wants me to play with wrenches and hammer to mount some ugly structure behind the seat - I hate that. Still to heavy. This is commuting bike mostly. Using motorcycle is not only about riding. EVERYWHERE except US we have small garages, narrow parking lots, narrow streets, heavy traffic so very often you have to push bike, park it... Not only guys with a height of 2 meters ride motorcycles - by making it so heavy, Honda eliminates women from the circle of potential customers
