I rode a standard transmission 2018 NC750X, put 33,000 miles on it, and traded it for a 2024 DCT. The newer model (2021-24) are more like a lighter sport touring bike, and nothing says "take me off road". It's a fantastic bike with a fantastic transmission! Want to putter to work or around town? Start it up, standard mode is always the default, pop off the parking brake, hit D, and enjoy your ride. Change your mind and want to get frisky? Hit the mode button and sport mode, or just flick it into the M mode and shift for yourself. Ready to settle down? Hit the D mode, and the bike is doing the work again. Build your own mode with the user mode, you can even disable traction control (not on the fly, and when you turn the key off it defaults back to minimal TC). How the NC behaves is totally up to the rider! The ONE BIG advantage I never, ever see mentioned in any DCT review EVER! In an emergency breaking situation, the DCT is always in the ride gear!
50 in 5th gear is good ,almost 4k . your complaint i think is wind blowoff from the the giant truck and only 1 hand on the bar. at 5.16. another miss is the 270 firing order. on the gas by that truck blow back it is digging . that is torque. just understand the engine. gas and go.
I wanted to like this bike, just because of the clever, practical design, like inside storage, engine slanted low to the ground for better mass distribution. But bike that is not fun doesn't suit my case.
I thought this bike would be the perfect motorcycle. 750cc Comfortable No shifting Tons of storage Made by Honda All of my dreams were killed the moment I got on. I’ve ridden many Hondas and this did not feel like one.
I rented this bike (non-dct) when I was in cyprus. IMO its the perfect bike to just see places. Super easy to ride, great gas mileage, and the storage is very convinient. Would I want it to be my only bike though? No way.
@@MidgetMoto thanks for this info, I’m just not sure why it’s not mentioned on the Honda website for the actual NC750x itself. I honestly don’t feel any braking from the front when I use only the rear brake pedal. That’s why I’m thinking this was skipped on the NC. On my son’s Honda PCX150 I can feel the linked brakes when you use only the rear you can also feel the front braking. Nothing on the NC 🤷🏻♂️
"If you're not trying to have fun, this bike will do the job" 😂😂😂
Epic!
🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
I’m having plenty of fun on this bike!

Glad you like it! Unfortunately it’s definitely not for me.
It's all subjective. It depends on what you think fun is. Also your age has alot to do with your perspective as well.
I am typically a very safe rider and was very surprised. I’ve ridden mostly Hondas and this did not feel like a Honda.

750cc
Comfortable
No shifting
Tons of storage
Made by Honda
All of my dreams were killed the moment I got on. I’ve ridden many Hondas and this did not feel like one.
Needs a DCT reset ( see RUclips) .
Interesting!
We have the option of manual bikes in Europe still. The brakes are not linked.
Linked Brakes = 2 Channel ABS

@@MidgetMoto 2 Chanel ABS is not linked braking. Totally different.
First! Love your Content!
Thank you!

I felt the same way except I still don’t think the DCT is for me. I wanted it to be but I have a different riding style.
I love this bike. So gentle, yet fast enough. Love the DCT and shifter switch...at my age it is perfect.
Glad you enjoy!
Brakes are linked? I don’t think so. Can you provide a link on this info? This would be interesting.

Does it vibrate on 2000 anf above rpm?
Not much vibration, more like a bogging feeling
Brakes are separate.
Unfortunately that’s not true. I linked several articles for someone else on this subject that explains it.
I've got one. They're not linked. End of
Lol. You’re not disagreeing with me. You’re disagreeing with Honda
Your skill level is a zero.
Thanks for the feedback!
