I'm glad they have made the dash less busy.

My very first bike after the mods. Wonderful bike....if it wasn't for my NC , I'd still be on that.

Hiya mate, Thanks for the video which I found very interesting, my legs are shorter than yours at 29 inches so I reckon it's a definite non-starter for me. Cheers take care.

Cheers Paul it's the width of the bike great to ride👍👍👍

I've got a 2018 X-ADV 750 and a 1250GS. The X-ADV is my fav bike!! Makes no sense given the power difference etc.

Loved the bike to ride definatley more fun in the bends, but just to wide to heavy and to tall for me, really suprised with the seat 1hr and 30 I had back aik, weird how bikes suit differnt people ABS, maybe platform shoes and a woopy cushion will solve it 🤣🤣🤣👍

So much to be said for these bikes, but it isn't enough to see off my NC750X

You need the adventure pegs on it to be able to stand up properly, I have a 2022 one and I do love it, and it was brilliant round the Isle of Man👍🏻

Thanks for doing this video, I've been wondering if I should have gone for the XADV instead, but it's a bit more expensive than the NC 👍

48:38 unfortunately it's not always possible these days to get test rides, OK Honda's are not bad but with less dealers out there and depending on the make and model it can be tricky, and that's only new, 2nd hand it's usually not possible

Nice for town but I'd take your sleet black himy any day 👍

love the bike but to heavy to wide, and ride was no where near as comfy as the Himmy, I had it for the day, but still a brilliant bike for what it's trying to be👍👍👍

@BirchwoodBiker - try the Honda Forza 750. Same platform as the X-adv but better. Makes me regret having just bought the NC750x DCT. Also, quite a bit lower than the x-adv 750

We don’t get this model only ADV150 sat on it found due to wide in the seat couldn’t reach the floor 5.8 31 inside leg.nc not released new here.was born in Salford now live in Australia. The wife and I have the cb500x does everything commute and touring purchased our bikes 2020. ike you unable to easily stop on uneven surface or incline at a t junction I am not interested. I know as soon as I sit on a bike if I can handle it.i don’t know what I will replace the Honda with maybe be an Enfield shotgun when it’s release down under. Ride safe

I new as soon as I took it out the gate, they have narrowed it, it wouldn't touch the cb500x on dirt roads, the previous NC was brilliant as it had a better suspension, you miss the smooth running on the NV vs the Enfield, I'm lucky I have the Himmy, it's very unrefinded but that's why people like it,the 650 shotgun may be great twin 650 send some pics👍👍👍

If you have a short leg, maybe you should have tried the nc750s, which has a lower seat than the X

They are completely different, shame they stopped making the S👍

23:41 no it's not, the whole 'half a jazz engine' myth needs burial, yes the car divisions put in design ideas and knowledge which was a first for Honda, and yes a few of the internals are very similar like the tappets and rockers, but the crank is very different, so basically the car engine story is based on a humorous comment made by the lead project manager at the 2012 launch, and the collaboration of the card division.

It's amazing how it started with men and motors and MCN, it's like the bible a story that will keep been told, I realise it's missing gear stick and UGLY Looks🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

I imagine those small wheels on bumpy roads/light off road are not going to be the smoothest ride. As an only bike that you want to have the option of commuting, tours and light offroad its pretty good. Not my choice though.

On the roads and back lanes twisties it's fantastic, it's no off roader like the big channels say it is Heavy and Hard ride over rough roads, I'm sure ir you put the foot peggs on it would improve, But the NC is still for me👍👍👍

Personally I think it's a bit of an expensive novelty with too many shortcomings especially if as you say you're short in leg, a scooter needs to be super comfy and easy to manoeuvre including at low speeds, I guess it's just not one thing or the other, neither bike nor proper scooter 🤷🏻‍♂️
