Just bought my 2024 . Picking it up in 2 days.
Congratz man! How does it feel? 🤩
How you like it?
Where did you buy? I’m in California and they are marking them up
So how is it ?
@@MikaTarkela Greetings ! Well I am 65 years old and have had a few health problems and sold my Harley last April and bought a 2024 Honda NC750x DCT and absolutely love it . For me it is perfect. I did upgrade the windshield a Madstad much larger windshield. This guy's video is spot on and I can tell you once you understand and a feel for the NC it's fantastic for me. I no longer have to struggle with the weight and I get 65 to 85 miles per gallon depending on city & highway. It's a all around very practical everyday work horse. I suggest you buy one.
Great review did the NC750 justice for sure. I used to blip in neutral all the time and almost in drive a couple times when I first got my 23’. Hard habit to break. Superb commuter and great for high traffic environment. No manual is clutch in traffic.
Hah, no pun intended on that last line? Thanks!
@@DailyMotor was waiting for someone to call it out ha!
You just did my go to ride. I live in Anaheim Hills and I go down to Cook's corner and up through those twisties occasionally on that dirt road. I'm really thinking about this motorcycle for my son who's never written the motorcycle.
Would be nice if they imported the nt1100 DCT.
Got mine last June as my first moto in 30 years. It is a great beginning / returning rider bike. That DCT is addictive and really lets you concentrate on the ride. I do not miss having to shift. Plenty peppy if you are an old man like me don't speed anyway. I ride mostly empty roads, 30s to 60 mph, get nearly 80 mpg. Wife loves it because I do the small grocery trips. You can put a lot of stuff in that frunk. Seat isn't terrible, but I did order a nice heated custom job from topsellerie in Portugal. I'll probably have a local suspension guy put in a better shock and some emulators up front. Bumps are a bit harsh sometimes. I'm 6'3" and thought the bent angle would be a problem, but although they are really pretzeled on me, I'm never uncomfortable. I didn't even bother putting the drop / adjustable pegs on it yet. Such a solid economical platform I don't mind spending a little to get it closer to perfect. At 6'3", my head is in clean air, so I left stock screen on for now.
Can it fit two people well?
Fair comment, agree about the suspension, I’ve changed the front springs to progressive springs (approx £100)
I purchased the bike in 2022, fitted crash bars, rear carrier, spots, use it for touring, camping etc.
I will change the rear spring, it doesn’t like pot holes.
Otherwise one of the best bikes I’ve ever had, the engine is canted low and forward carrying the weight low down.
Mines non DCT, so lighter than this bike, but nothing wrong with DCT, I’ve had it on a VFR 1200 (Intercepter ? In the states)
@colinbarber9324 Hi had my NC since 2022, just wanted to ask which springs did you get?
Could have been one of the GREATEST bikes on the entire marked, if Honda wasn't so STINGY 🤪👈 company..... :
Pretty craappy + SHORTENED suspension ( front and rear ) ! ....Only 1 ( ONE ) front brake disc ! ..... Old swingarm...... Cheap instr. panel...... NO Cruise Control !!! ..... NO center stand......NO rack for top-box.....Useless windshield ! No-good front light..... They, even, managed to screw up with their useless, new Trans....750 !! - No CC, No tubeless wheels - and neither that bike is made for off-roading ( as it is - without modifications ) ! Both are commuters / tourers ☝☝🤨
It's clear that Honda wants the customers to buy their 1100cc bikes, which are +/- better equipped. But their IQ, does not allow them to understand, that NOT every, even, wealthy customer, has a healthy back, and dreams about getting a hernia ( lifting those heavy monsters ) !
Not every wealthy wants to throw money on unnecessary usage of fuel - as not so many NEED the 100+ Hp ! As a result - many go buy other bikes like Aprilia Tuareg, KTMs.... CF Moto..... Those - for a reasonable price, do have the needed things 🤷♂
Aprilia 660
I'm saving up for one. It's going to be my first one, for daily commute and some inland roadtrips.
Hey bro, good honest review. I just purchased a 2023 from a guy who loved it, but ended up selling to buy the Goldwing DCT. He said it was addictive to ride, and he was right. Im loving this NC. Put a larger GIVI wind screen on, and a top case. I have fender extenders front and back, handle bar riser, cause Im only 5'8. Grip puppies are the best thing ever !! Im gonna do a review as well. Im up here in Canada. Thanks again for a great review. Cheers Stevo
Can you touch your feet flat on the ground when on the bike
@@alaneidt6835
Yes, flat footed on the 2023. I can’t get enough of this dct. So effortless.
Awesome thanks! I have a deposit on one that will be in next week. Can't wait
I have a 2022 mod, 7000 km now, and with my wife on the back, it is not much power to call home about even in sportmodus, but I just ordered the 15 teeth front-sprocket, so 2 teeth down will take care of that I guess. It maybe do a wheele on the trottle LOL. Enjoy everyone with this bike. It is perfect for all kind of riding.
I bought a 2018 nc dct 38000 miles no problems. It’s saved my butt more than once on ruff roads I wouldn’t go back over with a Mx bike. It’s a goat in street clothes
hi i have a 2016 s i had an accident on my gsx and couldn't tie my shoe laces due damage too my hands , so bought the nc dct and after a couple of years riding it wish i had bought it earlier ,i do a lot of town ,city and forest riding and absolutely love it my only criticism worse seat ever fitted to a motorcycle .
Typical jobsworth security man. What threat are you in an empty carpark??? I despair of America, that's why I'll never live there.
I can see myself doing Uber Eats on that bike for a few hours a day before going to my full time job. A friend of mine does that and he tells me that it actually makes food delivery apps profitable doing it on a nice commuter bike.
I rode for years and, unlike my stick shift car, it never became intuitive with motor cycle shifting. I was constantly thinking about what gear I should be in. 😟
I’ve been to many motorcycle dealerships in San Diego. No one sells them. It’s been two years now. Do I still want one? Yes. Can I pay cash up front? Yes. By this point it’s a fantasy bike.
That's sad to hear
Hi, usb or power plug available ? You didn't mention
Can we order online and they deliver to door dtep?
Pretty area, where are you riding?
Orange County, CA
It is basically a SUV
What do you mean? Doesn’t look the best for off roading I think.
I've been watching the NC750x for a few years. I really like many aspects but I'm waiting for an 'upgrade' maybe in 2025. Suspension, brakes, available cruise control, bit more HP, improved dash and it would be a winner... IMHO.
Nice video, how the suspension is? I want it for fun traveling in Costa Rica, most likely for 2 passenger and the back box. Will the suspension be at the bottom much or will ir hold nicely?. Will be more touring on the roads, not really off-road. Me 90kg and my girlfriend around 55 kg.
My hope is to get a 2025, i hope it comes with a TFT and 2 front break disca
Too bad it doesn't have a 19 inch front wheel, at least from my perspective. Alaska road conditions make a 17 incher... acceptable, but that's all.
I’m planning to get one as well as soon as I get my helmet and take the class! 😆
Can you turn off traction controll and abs?
I’m saving for one ☝️
Buying mine in a year
When did you start filming in Orange County California? I recognized those roads. Well done, as always.
Thanks! Moved here a year ago
@@DailyMotor Very Cool. Welcome to the neighborhood. I live and work in LF. Near to where you filmed this. Minus the traffic it is a great place to live and play. Ride Safe!
Can i get it in india?
Good for a first time rider?
Watch that section at ridge line rd headed towards cooks corner. I had a kid on a sport bike pass me in the bike lane. Long story short. When i caught back up to him he was dead. The lady turned left in front of him. His motorcycle cycle was embedded in the cars engine. They need a stop light right there. I ride my dual sport up Saddleback Mtn all the time. Just watch the little section right there. Happy riding.

Hi I'm new to motorcycles.do you think that having automatic motorcycle for beginners is a good idea?
Yes, although if you plan on riding regularly and owning many bikes, it's good to learn how to ride manual as well.
Where in America are you? The hills and mountains look gorgeous.
Southern California
Man it's such a hard toss up between this bike and a 2023 V-Strom 650.
This bike after tax title and license will be over 10K in my area, my local dealership has a V-Strom with zero mileage on rebate for $6,900 and that kind of made my mind up.
I might wait a couple years on the NC and see if they put a TFT display and Android connect and then I'll be sold for sure.
I had the v-strom 650 and have rode the nc750. The v-strom looks better, but is much heavier, bigger and wider. Also higher fuel consumption.
Hey there, go for the NC 750......DCT all the way. V strom 650 is just ...well kinda blah really. My opinion. Love my Honda NC 750 DCT...funnest bike ive had since my 2003 Goldwing !
I wonder if this bike is perfect for beginners?
It would be a good bike for beginners, yes.
Fuck I didn’t know this was automatic I was thinking about getting one but not now
You can get them as a manual as well, but I don't think anymore in the US. But used models came in both transmissions.
You can change gear yourself using the finger controls either in full manual or to override the automatic (you used to be able to get a foot lever but few people bothered to fit them after they got used to the bike. If you just don’t want a clutch but just want a manual then you can go for the 650s with an e-clutch. But get used to it both BMW, Yamaha and Kawasaki are bringing their own autos or semi autos soon.
That was my thought. I ordered it anyway. Five minutes later I was glad I hadn't been able to order a manual. Wouldn't trade the DCT for anything now.
Hello Seth, I agree. DCT makes riding a pleasure. It gives you time to enjoy the ride and actually have better control and be more relaxed. Recently went on a 1200km trip on my NC750X DCT. It didn't miss a beat and was comfortable.
Great review. It does look relatively slow/underpowered for a 750cc. Even when you were gettin on it at manual shift. Do you feel its a bit sluggish? Would you say its good for a spirited ride?
I have a 2023 as well. The low power number is because it is tuned for very down low operation. It scoots from a dig surprising well, and will happily hums along at 70-80 on a highway at 3-4k. It IS the quintessential commuter bike, extremely relaxed and great for that role.
As for spirited riding, once you learn its quirks you can get definitely get some spirited riding out of it. But realistically if that is what you’re after this is not the bike for that.
Its suspension is harsh , I’ve got 2024 and it rides like crap. It’s very buzzy and the shocks are worthless .
Charlie, I am shocked an appalled by the thought of an automatic motorcycle. .
Try it before you criticise. I've had DCT's since 2016 (Crosstourer and NC750) and am totally converted.
@@kevinf-b5065 me too, got this exact bike, in Denim blue, 6 months ago and I'm totally loving it! Had ridden manuals for a decade before this.
DCT is the way to go.I have an NC750X DCT 2023 .I also have a far more sporty Z900RS. Honestly the DCT makes life so easy and it's no slouch.
There just seems to be a "macho" bias against DCT, meanwhile most modern bikes have quickshifters anyway.
Most people feel that way...until they get a chance to try a dct, and then they never want go back especially city commuters who deal with stop go grind,
I learned to drive Stick Shift . The first time I drove an automatic car , that was it. I apply the same attitude to Motorbikes.
