    Honda officially revealed yesterday the new 2021 Honda NC750X.
    Honda says its a new bike, lighter, with new chassis, new electronics, revised transmission, more power, throttle by wire and a new LCD dashboard. But is it really a new bike? Is is really what you have expected?
    Stick arround until the end of the video, and we are gonna dig in really deep, in all this new updates of the Honda NC750X, to find out everything about it!

    Lol, people complaining.... Hell they added 4 horsepower, more torque, changed the lower 3 gears to improve acceleration... Lowered the bike and dropped 13 lbs off the weight... Better headlights.
    Bigger storage. Improved the dash... I think they did a great job improving an already great bike.

    • @amelsfr

      it's a cheap ass upgrade. it needed better handlebars to improve the position, smart features on the dashboard, inertial sensor system (with abs cornering) to avoid the bike changing gears during turns, double front disk, more power... 58hp is ridiculous in 2021,should have been at least 70hp

    Honda did a nice job on a bike that is not really an adventure bike, but a commuter and touring bike. Gravel roads only - no trails. It looks better, and it is better all around but for the clearance issue that won't be a problem for the target market imo. Thanks for the comprehensive review, you included all pertinent information very nicely. Very well done.

I've been told that the motor on the NC750X delivers power much like a big bore American cruiser. This bike seems to be a good bargain. It also stands somewhat alone in the market place bc there is no bike that shares its characteristics. To me the bike is best suited for a long relaxed tour bc the motor cruises at low rpms and uses so little fuel. Cheers!

    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.

    Thinking about the comments on here about making the NC more of an Adventure road bike. This makes sense if there is a mid-range Africa Twin on the way. The lower seat height means they don't have to continue the S model and the NC carries on as an off-road capable bike that is equally comfortable as a mid range economical commuter.

    I’m on my second NC750X. However, I was rather hoping for a more radical update in the form of the rumoured 850cc engine. Instead, we get a warmed-over bike with little to entice me to change. What a shame Honda did not utilise the attractive aluminium rear swing arm which was fitted to the Integra 750. Upside-down forks should be standard on this bike too.

I had a 1980 Honda cb400t that had 39 horsepower but it had a 10000 RPM Redline and it was a joy to run through the gears. I know this has more horsepower, but I wanted to make sure that it is just as enjoyable to ride. What do you say?

      They should build actually a new bike, new frame, new suspensions, more powerful engine, lighter, spoked wheels, and the list can continue.

Starting from 2022 we can speak about the true middleweight adventure bike that everyone expects from Honda.

    I would love to get the new NC750x, but I am concerned that the ground clearance has been reduced by an inch, since I would like to ride it off-road. I know that the previous models could handle light off-road duties, but if the new model cannot handle any off-road, I would probably have to get a different bike (maybe Africa Twin). Unfortunately, the NC is good on just about everything else I would want as a commuter.

I'm erring towards the new NC with DCT as a replacement. It has some scooter practicality whilst being more bikey and will make an excellent commuter and longer distance bike.

    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.

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.

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).

    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.

    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.

      @@CuetoArcheCanal true but it is closer to the 500X then to the AT, it could be slightly more in the middle performance wise. I would then also accept the slightly higher price.
