The best review I’ve ever heard about this bike I’ve got a 2015 Nc750x with standard transmission as they didn’t offer the dct here in Canada at the time. I absolutely enjoy riding it, I’ve found it to be a great all round machine, great for the daily commute regardless of traffic, great for highway jaunts especially with its 6 speed gear box and the fuel mileage is just fantastic. If I had to make a complaint it would be about the suspension, I was actually thinking about sourcing springs for the bike, but it’s a small complaint for me as I’m a slow rider It’s honestly the happiest I’ve been in the last couple decades with bikes as it’s the first bike that just feels effortless to drive and so practical I’ve been riding now for 39 years and this is a bike I always wanted but didn’t think was possible a mix practical and fun. Great review 😃

well said. I'd also call it pretty nippy in general, and by no means slow within a certain range. Our traffic here in Cape Town means slow defensive driving for day to day commuting, expecting the worst from cars and trucks as you do, and the NC has the power to get away from the potential hazards just fine (*touch wood.) I'm on a manual and keeping it upwards of 4k-5k rpm in 2nd & 3rd is plenty for me, and I still get the feeling that this engine isn't even trying, purposely detuned to stay within certain Japanese regulations, and is genuinely capable of so much more..its a looker too, I always say to people its not as fast as it looks 😄 Stay safe friend!

Perfect allegory of the current state of the media. Less than one percent of daily riders wheelie and do track days, 99% of people reporting on motorcycles do. This is the perfect bike for 99% and will always be dismissed by the media. I have its big brother the vfr1200x and both are the most underrated bikes for the 99%.

Is that why YOU buy a bike ? if you want to go from A-B and be bored, get a car, loads of storage and comfortable. If you want to commute, get a Forza 350. If you like going slow get an Enfield, at least it has a retro vibe going for it.

If Civic did 0 to 60 miles in under 4 seconds that is. I feel that a lot of people reading this will think that this bike has no power, when it absolutely does. With DCT you just drop 2 gears down and you've got all the power you need!

I had a 1st Gen between 2013 and 2021, went through countless miles, and toured the country 5 times. This bike is a workhorse that carries you anywhere cheaply, safely, and reliably. DCT is like a drug-addiction ( a good one ) that grows into your bones if you do ride it for daily commute or everyday shopping or any other routine chores. I did 3 Scotland tours with this bike, each one lasted more than 2 weeks. The DCT box frees my mind and allows me to appreciate scenery while riding the bike, especially on those winding twisting yet beautiful B roads. Love this bike to bits, shame I had to sell mine due to job relocation, but I will get a new one as soon as I return to the UK. Take care everyone.

I've always respected the NC750. So efficient, so practical. If you actually use a motorcycle for regular daily transportation, this is one is going to be far better than most. As for Mossy, he could review a 50cc scooter and I would enjoy listening to his thoughts.

It's amazing isn't it, here's a guy who tests everything and when it comes to it he's bought a bike that does all a bike needs to do. It's a lesson maybe we should all learn from this, do we need 1000cc plus? I'm sure he sees it as a more relaxed ride because on that bike he has nothing to prove. Well done Mossey for being honest.

My bike (a BMW) has nearly 3 times the power of this bike. I am not interested in going on the track, and never use all the power on a public road. The NCX is a much more sensible bike for road use.

I've had my 2021 NC750x from new now for 1year, I've just come back from a Euro trip to to the Pyrenees from England, covering 2,800 mile I've done 15,600 mile in total. Sports bike and big adventure bike lovers (BMW 1200 / Africa twins) thought I'd be holding them back. 😂 If we went the wrong way I could turn my NC around where we was. they would have to go down the track to find a big area to spin it around. Yes the suspension is very average, but there is pluses and minuses everywhere. The best i got out of my NC is 94mpg UK gallons, the worst is 68mpg. The moral of this comment is, Don't buy a bike to impress others,buy a bike that suits YOU.

Almost every Sunday a group of BMWs and other 1000cc + bikes go out for a rather sporty ride on the beautiful and winding roads of central California. after my CBR1000rr 2019 was stolen I bought new 2021 NC750DCT, for the reason of upright and more relax riding. I thought like you, my buddy's will be waiting for me and the Harley rider on every intersection, turned out I was sitting on their tail (using + an -) no less far I was than I was on my CBR. yes, as Chris has stated it would be nice to have another 10HP and upgraded shocks. love the tank storage....

Terrific review! As a young (27) owner of the old 700X "diesel truck", I must say that it might not be the fastest or best looking bike, but I'll be damned if you find a more sensible, do-it-all machine. It's a big bike that you can ring out like a small one. It's a bike you can tour on comfortably, even if you're in college, or unemployed or whatnot because it just sips gas and has very long maintenance intervals. It's remarkable, I bought mine with 83K KM on the clock two and a half years ago and now at 125K I can happily report an absolute trouble-free 42K KM and I'm looking forward to many more miles in the saddle.

The lines on the plastic bits flow nicely with all the other good stuff this bike has to offer. I would buy this bike for it's practicality over anything else but in my opinion it is no ugly duckling in the styling department either.

Excellent review. I've a 2020 nc750x. For the first months of ownership I thought I had made a mistake after the wheel lifting power of a 2019 sv650, until I realised I was actually enjoying riding for the sake of it again, travelling big distances to new places, and in reality was covering the ground faster 90% of the time, compared to my previous more powerful bike thanks to the NCs ease of use, tall gearing and deceptive thrust of the "cross plane," "half a Honda Jazz car engine" motor. It's def a unique offering in modern motorcycling, as it offers that effortless, tall geared, low reving thrust of an old school big capacity v8 sports car, or a big capacity air cooled cruiser, (or critics might say a 3L tdi car lol, but then what fast diesel car sounds like a Ducati 996?) with the excitement of a modern motorcycle frame to throw around corners and cut through through traffic. I've also come to wonder how I managed without the handy built in storage. It's nice to head away for a the weekend or long day trip without a rucksack or top box. Oh and not to mention with current fuel prices, getting 60-70mpg from travelling at a brisk pace isn't to be sniffed at. It's definitely getting under my skin. Strangely good looking lump also. The reasonable asking price for a new Japan built machine was also a factor in my purchase. As always not all perfect, could do with a basic adjustable taller screen, a belt or shaft drive and maybe another 5 or 10 bhp for when you're in the mood, but I've found a simple cheap slip on silencer adds a bit a more excitement at least, and turns it in into something that you can get a lot of sporting enjoyment from without the cost, risks (and guilt) of a modern supersports bike or 170bhp adventure bike, especially for younger riders.

I am much the same as you @erikjblauw in that I too thought that the advice on the suspension and the tank storage were bang on. More manufacturers would do well to adopt moving the fuel tank down in the chassis to improve a bikes handling while at the same time creating a handy storage space that is right in front of the rider. I suspect that this bike would be nowhere near as nimble if the fuel tank was in the traditional position. Particularly for new riders the centre of gravity is so important on a bike and by moving the fuel tank to where Honda did it has undoubtedly helped with a new riders learning curve. Now I just need to find a used one that fits my budget which might be tough when I think of why would anyone want to rid themselves of this bike after riding it for awhile.

Thanks for the video and Mossy's thoughts on the NC. This has come at the right time, just considering a used NC700X as a "soft-roader" bike! I know it's not designed for gravel/unpaved roads but that hasn't stopped owners putting 1000's of miles on the bike off-road! Its the frunk, the frugality and the DCT that has me interested in one of these.

Excellent review and discussion about a fantastic bike BUT it's as if every reviewer rides it like it's *supposed* to be boring...and it's not! Second and third gear pull like a train and make twisty roads a total blast, even fourth gear on higher speed sweepers. It's a sedentary commuter bike if one chooses to ride it that way but it's also wonderfully sporty on crooked roads.

I often think people don't like to admit it's so good because it is so down on horse power compared to their pocket rocket. But for me, it's this inability to wheelie it, or get it to spit the rear end out that makes it so appealing. I love the fact you can pin the throttle open for more than just a few seconds before you are doing highly illegal speeds. I never feel threatened by the power on the NC, its got plenty for what I use. Anything more is not really necessary 99% of the time...

Now, that was a real pleasure to listen. Humble experienced driver who knows what he is saying. Appreciate it Sir, cheers from Poland.

This change makes if run fast and smooth. (In other words go from standard on 2,2,2,2 or sport on 3,1,3,4 to user on 3,2,3,3). It will make a great bike smoother yet sportier ! - The settings take a while to understand, but are well worth adjusting to suit your riding style or terrain !

My 2023 DCT is still a baby, and I am a sedate rider, and I average 80 m / us gallon, including a decent amount of highway riding. Cruise on smaller roads at 50 mph and you'll get 90. My biggest complaint is that filling the gas tank doesn't always get me over the $10 credit card minimum purchase out in the sticks, so I have to carry cash.

I reluctantly picked up my friends 2021 dct from a service for him as he'd broken his arm, and it's the worst thing I could have done. It's the first dct I've ridden, and after 10 minutes it was like using a dishwasher and I was thinking why should I have to change gear myself ever again? No it doesn't turn heads but if you want to do that get a Rocket or a Harley. I would love one now but can't bear to let go of my 1250RT and my fantastic CB500X which I've grown attached to. The wife won't entertain 3 bikes and I have no room in the shed anyway unfortunately! All I'd say is try one before you decide. It's not for everyone and my main criticism on my 60 minute ride was the wind protection was rubbish (maybe get a better after market screen?). Although it's a heavy bike it's got a low centre of gravity and handles lovely. All I'd say is unless you're seriously looking for a bike, don't try a dct because it's addictive!

Otherwise this is probably the best bike I've owned in a long while. It is especially good at long days and motorway munching. A recent three day trip I was averaging 80mpg which given the current price of fuel is significant. I wish it was a few kilos lighter but the weight is low down so it is not a killer issue.

Had the original NC700. It remains the most perfectly engineered bike I’ve ever owned. Great review.

Great review! Absolutely right. I ride one manual gear since 2016 commuting in Lisbon traffic everyday and it is the most rational thing I´ve ever purchased. Practicability, enough fun at a low price and zero problems all this years.

What a great sensible review. So many you see are done after the proverbial ‘spin around the block’ and, as Chris says, that doesn’t give you the true picture of a bike and what it’s like to live with long term. We’re so lucky in the range of bikes that are available to us now, but for the majority of people, outside of the track day superstars, bikes like this and the Yamaha MTs are affordable good all round bikes 👍

Nice one mossy. I've put 65k miles on a 2014 DCT model. They are brilliant. Even did a Lydden Hill track day on it and it was a hoot. No pressure at all as it's a slow bike so I just concentrated on having fun! Yss rear shock definitely helped, as did Road 5s. I can't ever see myself without one if I'm honest. It'd be the last bike I'd ever sell.

Got a 2013 NC700X, travelled to Nuremburg on. Perfect did everything it needed to. One 30l dry bag on the rear rack and everything else packed in the cubbie hole. Yeah a few BHP would be good but it handled the autobahn with ease and kept up with my mate. Love it and so does my 13 year old lad.

Great review! Honest and to the point. I like it! I bought my first ever bike recently, the nc750sa and I love it so far! I may be a stereotypical dull rider who can’t brag about it (“says who!?”) but when looking for a bike that is a bit forgiving and comfortable during my first newbie rider years I can highly recommend this bike to keep improving skill & xp.

Reminds me of my crossrunner… I get a lot of flack from those that don’t understand it but, it grows on you and makes distance easy.

Don't listen to the nay sayers!! 😅

I own one of these, but with the manual transmission. Its a really great bike. I've owned everything from a vintage Guzzi to new Gixxer and this one is one of my favorites. Its just so easy to use and get along with. Once you get used to having that frunk for a water bottle and gear, you'll never go back. It sounds much better than it needs to as well, with that 270 crank,

@@KnoxArmour I was excited to see a 2014 750S for a decent price, but soon found out the slipper clutch wasn't added until 2021. The 2014 I checked out has super-hard-clutch-lever pull. Had to pass on it. Can't be having my left hand cramp up all the time. Clutch control is a b#tch when that happens!

What an absolute pearler of a review. Great job guys.

Spot-on! Riding means different things to different people, but...if taking her out for the day, weekend or week involves ACTUAL touring (you, know, seeing the actual sites, not saying like most writers, "...fantastic roads!" and then don't remember what is what like AROUND those roads), then this is the right tool for the job. You know you've fully escaped when the bike underneath you disappears and you get lost in the scenery. Nothing is wrong with that! Thanks for the honesty (again), Mossy!

I have a U.S. version from 2017 which is a NC700X. I use it for daily commute of 30 miles round trip rain or shine. Very reliable, low maintenance, fast enough for open highways and narrow enough for lane filtering when those highways turn into parking lots. It’s also a smooth bike that I can ride all day on the weekends and still go grocery shopping with on the weekdays. It’s feels like a “SUV” of motorcycles to me. While the suspension could use some improvement, the only upgrade I spent money on was a taller Puig windscreen with a spoiler on top to reduce wind contact with my helmet. Excellent “Gets the job done” bike as the video interview mentions. Favorite feature is the “frunk” (front trunk). Combined with the top box in rear, I can get enough groceries to last a couple of days.

Love this english spoken hyper focused interview

Love my 2012 NC700x. It really is a special bike, unique in many ways.

I didn't know the channel and obviously this video caught my attention because I'm also a NC750X 2021 owner. I didn't quite understand who is your guest, I'm from Portugal, but I want to leave here my statment as an owner of an NC. I had never seen or heard a comment, about this bike, so but so correct, accurate, honest and competent. Everything your guest said is the greatest of truths, exactly what I feel and would say. All specialty channels, almost all compratives forget about this bike precisely because they don't understand it. Many "experts" seek for things that were not thought for this bike. The most common mistake is to think that this bike does not have enough power, just by reading numbers on paper. So wrong! I really appreciate it. Thank you very much Mr Chris Moss

We need more bikes like this.

good info about upgrades to suspension, thanks.

Best " Allrounder" Bike concept ,love this bike

Saving up for this bike to start motorcycling again after many years. Sold my Kawasaki after Uni in ‘86. Been puttering about on a Piaggio Beverly 125 in Spain for years.

Perfect review, well done! Sold my Ducati SuperSport 939 S last year to get a 2021 NC750X DCT. Such a great bike. It's not a hot italian lady (who can be pretty annoying at times). It's just like your best mate, you always have a good time with. After 25 years of riding different kinds of motorcycles, I really don't want or need anything else.

Glad you liked it!

A perfect commuters bike. No tricky shifting, you pay attention to traffic around you, and keep the rubber side down.

Top review thanks 👍🏻

After this video I've got mine and I'm in love. It's real miles eater and best everyday computer. ❤

Great review greets from Bosnia

“It’s something you gotta keep for yourself” Like it matters what other people think anyway mate.

One of the best bikes i ever owned, would buy another no problem

I did a 600 km trip on mine and got 2.9 l/100 km out of it. Fantastic bike. No complaints at all

Great review and lovely scenery around Wastwater in the Lakes 👌🏻

Great and useful review.

I ride a 2013 NC700S and I understand what makes the NC special. It is a calm motorbike. Great ergonomics. The engine is just a great piece of technology.

Now this kind of opinion I was looking for thank you

totally agree. driving the rc90 Version from 2016, I wanted to Upgrade this year to an NT 1100, but decided to stay a few years longer with the NC. oh and you for sure can ride more sports oriented on it, also never had an issue when overtaking others. but Yeah, it took me 6 years to realize that I really like the NC...

I love riding on country roads like the one shown. The NC750x is the only big bike I can see myself on, riding quietly all the way.

Considered this for years, but just could not sell my VFR800F to get this. Then the NT1100 was launched and was all that the NC750X is and then some. Sold. This type of bike is highly underrated for the riding most of us do.

You don't have to convince me, Sir, i am convinced by the bike itself. I love the Nc750x DCT.

We own a 21 750X and this is the most accurate review of the bike. Just a perfectly functional bike. My wife absolutely loves it.

Great interview and review! Very helpful! I got swayed by my wife to get the BMW F700GS vs. the NC700X in 2016. I would have preferred the NC for the reasons you stated. I saw the value of a stable, easy and yet reasonably capable bike that allows taking your work bag and when getting there stows your helmet and some other smaller things you don't want to take with you into work or the restaurant etc. The lack of response when passing will take getting used to but the F700GS isn't a gas it and go bike at the higher speeds and RPMs either.

To be honest my 2021 DCT 750 has ample power especially in the sports mode for overtaking and getting away from the lights.. button down a gear and give it a handy bit of throttle and it can surprise you!

You made a mistake, the BMW is reliable but the Honda can do o it all and get worked on anywhere nearly. I am a Honda fan especially after riding for over 50 years ! I’ve learned that nothing beats a Honda, their engineering just can’t be Beat ! Save yourself money and buy a Honda !

Good review 👍 I love my NC a lot:)

As a novise I could totally live with this bike.

Thx, I could listen to Mossy rabbit on all day ... something to be said for a good solid street bike.

As a boring yank, I could listen to that guy tell me stories all day long. Love the accent! Tell me more. 😃

As a former MZ 250 rider , I love the practicality of my NC750x

Brilliant review
