Another great review, David, delivered with traditional Yorkshire humility! No BS, just honest, real world riding & opinions, as usual. Honda hv fitted more road-focused tyres to go with the lowered suspension and I think, a smaller front wheel than before. So now you hv ADV bike comfort with road bike manners. I test rode one a couple of years ago & with the DCT gearbox, it was a brilliant, fast point-to-point ride in an urban setting - roundabouts, dual carriageways etc, all despatched with ease & smoother & faster than regular 4 cylinder bikes. Despite relatively low bhp, it's easy to ride fast if you're smoooooth! Thanks for a very entertaining review, David - top job. 👍

Yes, the previous incarnations (I had a 2016 NC750S) had a rather early redline and I used to bounce mine off it unintentionally a few times till I got used to it. They're definitely bikes which are faster if you try less hard.

Very good review and it is obvious that Honda have made some great improvements to this popular machine. I had a NC700s a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Some improvements I would liked to of seen, that they have never addressed on the NC range are: The front mudguard is too short and in bad weather kicks muck over the engine (lots of owners fit an extension, but it does look like a bolt on!). There is no rear hugger fitted which leaves the rear suspension a bit exposed. The radiator is not protected and needs a cover to save an expensive repair should something hit it. The machine doesn't come with a main stand as standard, which I consider important (most of Honda's scooters come with a side and main stand). Some other mods that would of been nice (perhaps a x-plus model?), an electronically adjustable screen (as the Forza range), keyless ignition, heated hand grips (a really expensive addition if you fit the genuine item) and as you state cruise control. Having said that the Honda NC750x is a fine machine and fits into the model range well.

I have been waiting for a UK review on the 21 NC DCT and you are the first. Good review and a lot of on-bike shots really good with a variety of roads. Walk round video was very shaky compared to the start video, maybe do that hand held next time. I love my 2017 NC 750X DCT. I think Honda have done a great job taking this to Euro 5 without making it too expensive. Maybe the seat is better this year too because most riders replace the rock hard seat on earlier models. As for technology, no-other bike manufacturer does DCT. Makes the bike relaxing when you are out for a pleasant country ride but with the low down weight of the engine and behind the seat petrol tank it handles well. Great fun for pushing hard along a-roads and overtaking. You can use all of the power there is. As you say DCT is quick to adjust to the speed you are riding. £21K miles on mine in 3 years.

RbW and DCT are a match made in heaven..... The lower ride height also lowers COG even further. Substantially so. It's as easy to push around, and lean over/under mirrors, in tight parking spots as a 300 class scooter now. And it doesn't pitch as much when braking hard. The latter at least partly because Honda has tuned the new, shorter suspension fairly firm. Reviewer is 17 stone, and finds it comfortable and good handling. Smaller riders may find it borderline too stiff over rough stuff. I'm 12-13 stone, and "plush" wasn't what immediately came to mind on a test ride. But if I get one, I will no doubt load it down with luggage, and likely fit stickier tires, so I can't say I'm bothered (It's not _that_ firm. Just firer than, say, a Vstrom 650.) In addition to supporting luggage and a passenger, the firmness will also come in handy for those who want to ride more aggressively. One thing I like about the lower height, is that it takes less space leaned over on narrow lanes. Really tall adventure bikes, sometimes feel like even with the tires almost in the ditch, you have to duck under oncoming SUV mirrors in turns. Lower bikes are just a bit tidier in that regard. All in all, it's pretty impressive how Honda has simultaneously achieved a low seat height, decent leg room AND still retained decent ground clearance for pretty spirited (for a street bike. It was never meant to be Marquez' new Honda) riding. I didn't check or measure or anything, but I can only assume they have achieved it by placing the pegs fairly close together, in addition to specking a fairly supportive suspension.

I did wonder if I was watching a Honda salesman pitching their latest creation for all its worth, or a guy who was genuinely thrilled to ride this bike and surprised by its performance! Reckon it's the latter. You seemed to be really enjoying yourself. Enjoyed your review very much. Thanks.

😂😂😈 it’s a bad habit of mine. I do it when I’m on the phone too.

I've had two NC750's before - both S models. I couldn't manage the seat height on the X models before. The trade-off with the S was always the suspension. Reducing the seat height of the 2021 X has certainly made it more accessible - especially now they've dropped the S model this year. It's great to hear that they've actually improved ride quality and not compromised it by reducing the suspension travel. Well done Honda! A big thumbs up for pillion on the previous model - and I can't see this new version being any different there either. I'm currently running a 2019 VFR800x Crossrunner (also from Via Sheffield) but I'm missing the excellent economy of the NC. The trouble with the CR is that it begs to be ridden fast making full use of the Vtec and fuel consumption suffers as a result. Thanks for the video, for your time and for your honest review 👍

Ivor, yes indeed I had two "S's". My first was a 2016 DCT. The second, an earlier 2014 Manual. The seat is quite a bit lower than the X model at a shade over 800mm. I'm 5'6" with a 29" inseam so I find a lot of bikes too tall as you might imagine. The NC's were brilliant bikes and very good for pillion too. The seat is a quite hard though so I recommend the Shad replacement which is gel and really comfy. The manual version tends to hit the rev limiter a bit and you can get caught out during an overtake. I know it takes less than a second to snick an extra gear but it does reduce the safety margin. You soon get accustomed to it but the DCT bike looks after you more in this respect. These bikes are truly faster - the slower you ride them 😁. The worse thing about the S is that it doesn't benefit from the longer travel "DB" forks of the X model. It's the main area of dissatisfaction with the S. Reducing tyre pressures F&R by about 2 psi makes a surprising difference and doesn't affect handling one bit.

I have yet to test ride one of these and truthfully I only have space right now for one motorcycle in the garage (life is hard 😔) but I’m still itching to have a go on one of these despite loving my current bike and no intention of selling it 😋

One of the nicest-looking bikes I've seen and I love the fact that it's DCT. I know people are not fans of automatic bikes, but man...they are SO much more fun to ride. Just twist and go! I've owned manual bikes in the past and in traffic they can be a royal pain in the arse, especially when commuting. For long cruising sure...no problem. It depends on personal preference.

You had said that you really liked the suspension, that it did really well on the rough roads. I weigh significantly less than you, I weigh about 150 pounds with gear on, do you think the suspension would still be really good with my weight? Thanks

Great review and much appreciated. Sorry if I missed it, but what did you think of the seat?

Great video, I ride a 14 BMW RT and thinking I want something smaller. This bike may do it, cruise control would put me over the edge, maybe 2022?

Sounds really good fun bike , I’m looking at the older s model that looks more of a naked style not sure how it compares to the new one but I’m assuming it might be a similar seat height... now I’m torn between the new x or a low mileage older s surely can’t be much difference in performance and handling but would save me a bundle of cash 💷, have you any experience of the s model? Great review/ video by the way 👍🏍

Thanks appreciate it. I’ve not ridden the older model but the seat height has been reduced quite a bit. They have improved lots of different areas of the bike though and I am told it’s incrementally better all round. Hope it helps.

i ended up selling mine for a Triumph Tiger 900 GT. One thing that i absolutely wished the NC had is cruise control.

Nicely done review. Thanks for the effort. Question: have you tried going up to 125 KPH or higher in expressways ? I often tried to avoid the expressways (or what we call freeways here in the US) but there are times you just cannot avoid them completely. So, I'm wondering if the NC750X is safe on those those roads.

Slightly less comfortable and marginally slower but all round handling and everyday use is better. It’s a proper touring bike and you can get all the touring accessories too.

Great review, very informative! In your opinion, would this make a great first motorcycle? I love the idea of the DCT as it would make things so much easier. Plus low center of gravity, clear and legible dashboard, enough power to get out of its own way, excellent brakes, etc. Sounds like quite a safe bike, all things considered. However, I have also heard that beginners should not have anything larger than 500cc, but that depends all on the rider, no? I actually prefer a manual transmission when I drive a car, but it seems daunting when it comes to motorcycles. I just want to enjoy the scenery and not have to worry about gear changes all the time.

@mostlymotorbikes

You could buy a 600cc super sport bike that will do 170 mph. It’s not the engine size it’s the power and at the end of the day, they only go as fast as you ask them to. This would be a perfect first bike IMO for all the reasons you already stated.

@deauvillevrienden

One can cruise very relax at low speeds with a 1800cc and others are letting the beast go on a 400cc. You are always in charge of the throttle. I'm a biker for half a century now and never had more then a 800cc, never had a speeding ticket in those 50 years :-))

This would make a fine (if not great) first bike, and a sensible main bike, and a great last bike. Be sure you can flat-foot your first bike, with an inch to spare. BIG wheels isn’t the best options for a first bike, since your low speed control is compromised. You want ample windshield- at 70 mph, your bike is not what you want to be fighting. For your first bike you want a low maintenance and ownership costs. And also easy resell-ability. You want to be able to re-erect a supine steed. When you’re a new rider, you need to make sure you can maneuver the bike when moving it around a garage or elsewhere, on foot. Not sure if you can flat foot this. This can be a bit heavy to move around on foot, but isn’t the worst. Picking it up isn’t easy, so practice. Other than that, it has everything else going for it.

I've now ridden both the "normal" and DCT versions of this bike but preferred the manual. To be fair, It may be that, given longer, I would start to appreciate the DCT more, but I did find I missed the control you have from slipping a clutch. By comparison, the DCT was a bit more ON/OFF with throttle response especially when pulling away or in tight/unexpected situations. Not sure why I'd want to pay a grand more for less control. Also. I could be missing something here but there doesn't appear to be any "kickdown" as you get in an automatic car. Should you wish to overtake in a hurry, then opening the throttle wide has little response. I guess perhaps you could use the manual shifters given a bit more experience or put it into "sport mode" which may make a difference? Thing is, I'm a bit "old skool" and the thing I've always liked about these bikes is their simplicity and ease of riding. So faffing around with rider modes and paddle shifters is not something that appeals to me. Just my two hapeth' and great bikes that are sadly much underrated.

Wish I could see a side view of a 6' person on the bike...just to see how it looks, and the arm length to the grips.
