Great review, Mike. Thank you. I’m about your age and thought that some of the things you’ve done with your bike spoke directly to me. Thanks again.

I watched this video about 10-11 months ago when I was making up my mind about this bike. I watched many other videos, but your extended experience with the bike is what closed the deal for me. I got my NCT750X DCT in October 2019 and am extremely happy with it. I mostly commute, and it's fantastic in the city. The DCT transmission is great, allowing me to focus better on traffic conditions. Before the pandemic struck I took a couple of trips to the beach and gave it quite a bit of throttle; great riding and handling at high speeds. I did miss a taller windscreen, though, so that's on my to-do list. I've already had very bright foglights installed, as well as a center stand - which helps a lot when doing cleaning/maintenance. Thanks for your video; it made a big difference. All the best from Santiago, Chile. Happy riding!

Hi Mike, first of all: respect! It’s amazing how you’ve modified this motorcycle to suit your adventure style. I agree, Honda made a great motorcycle here, I used to own the next generation of this bike with the upgraded DCT and I was super happy with it. Did 53000 km in under 2 years travelling in two different continents. Your 160 000 kilometres is definitely impressive. The technology Honda used for this motorcycle is amazing, the DCT works perfectly and makes it a very comfortable and capable adventure motorcycle. I didn’t have many complains, other than the wish for a bit larger fuel tank. My modifications were quite similar to yours, I used a dedicated GIVI accessories, which were very sturdy and practical. Again, kudos to you for how you maintain the motorcycle and for the distance travelled. Subscribed! For sure!

Biggest mistake people make is comparing the dct to a auto transmission and that is completely wrong. I used to say to them you know gtr's, porsche 911, Ferrari and lambos have dct gearboxes. They don't have automatic gearboxes. There is night and day difference between the 2. Well the dct NC has the same gearbox as those supercars. Best way to explain it.

Great job on the Vid. You mentioned being (6' -8"), that's hilarious Mike. I have never heard that one before! I am 2m and am able to ride my 2015 NC700X DCT very comfortably. This is my second NC700. My first one was a 12' manual that i owned for just three years and put 23k miles on it. I just recently traded it to a guy who had a nearly brand new 15' DCT model. He really liked the bike, but wanted a manual instead. So we traded bikes! He loves the manual and i am so happy with my first DCT. I got it with 1640 miles on it and i have already put a couple thousand miles on it. Now that our weather is changing and starting to freeze at night i have to be really careful riding it in the next few weeks before i have to put it away for the winter season up here.

Out of the countless videos I have seen on the NC since 2014, this has to be the best one. You have legitimately taken a DCT model in challenging areas over 100k miles and have raving results and memories. My biggest hesitation is the engine; I used to have the CTX700 and couldn't stand the weak engine. I've thought hard about swapping my BMW GSA, which I do not like at all, for an Africa Twin. Then I see another NC, ask the Rider what they think, and they say they can ride forever.

I have been looking at this bike and the honda cb500X. The 750 is around 60 lbs heavier then the cb500. I have been concerned about the weight, all my experience is dirt bikes 300 lbs or less. I like what I read about the dct system and wonder if the extra weight is a deal breaker or not. Realistically, I would be 65% on road, 35% dirt now. Love to get your input with your experience.

Lower center of gravity and the Frunk , storage space is brilliant for Touring.

And especially if I was leading a group of riders I always found this horn very useful. Having flashing lights in my opinion is a very safe way for cars to see you coming and especially at u-turns which can be very dangerous as people can't judge the speed of a motorcycle. Ride safe

Hi Mike! Brilliant overview over your customisations. I see you also have some plastic bulges added to the side of the frunk, presumably to keep your legs dryer in rain. Do these work well and where did you get them?

Thank you, yes they are Carbon Fiber deflectors and great in the rain, I fought from a Thai 2. 5 years ago, he said eBay but sorry cannot confirm.

Those crash bars are from Hepco-Becker. I recognize them because I have them for my NC700X.

And what about 2 people riding the bike like 100Km mini trip...is it comfy for the passenger?? Excuse me for my English

Thank you for your comment and currently I'm at 229,000 km . For me the seat is not bad but if I ride over 400 km I typically use my comfy cheeks seat pad and the bike is quite comfortable for two up especially if you have DCT as there's no head jerking. There is definitely enough power for two people

The additional lights are LED and you can use up to 40 Watts but if you're going to put lots of accessories like I have it's best to add a hub to install all the accessories to.

Hello Mike. great review. Could you send the link for the horn. thank you.

I would like to but I purchased it in Thailand from a local shop that supplies and installs them to Police cars and Police motorcycle and ambulances.

Thanks, Mike, for sharing. What's name of that horn you recommended?

@mikefreeriderAsia

I'm using a Police Siren 🚨, in Thailand not a big issue but other countries probably illegal. Just use any loud horn better than the Original

i have one but just 20.000kms I'm very happy i will do many kms and good maintenance i hope have motorbike up to 200.000 minimum

That's a sweet setup. How did you glue those pouches to the frunk cover? Can you share the name of the horn you use? Cheers!

Excellent Video, can you please let me know the TOP Speed with this NC since the RPMs are low? Thanks Paulo

Good question, since I run with 60/40 tires, side cases, and loaded up for touring and the mileage I have, I think my top speed will be about 160 kph, I read that some guys are getting just under 200 kph.

The only really bad thing about the NC is the gas tank If you're carrying stuff on the pillion seat you have to get it all out

To me that is a Non Issue but here is a suggestion , I have a Rack that I use to Carry a Dry Bag instead of a Top Box and I use Rok Straps to attach my bag ,if you dont have a rack and you need attach a bag use Rok Straps , Quick and Easy and no failure with the same pair in 2 years. kzread.info/dash/bejne/l66autF8p8Swqrw.html

How many watts do all your aux lights use? Did you upgrade the alternator/generator?

@mikefreeriderAsia

They are LED light, do not need to upgrade but I put in a power hub where all my accessories are wired into and that is in turn wired to the battery. On my powerhub I can add five different accessories

Mike, any issues with the clutches? My only lingering question mark about my new NC750 is when they will wear out, and how hard it will be to replace them (DCT model).

Great one. Very inspired to do the same. How did you go with days of rainy weather and humidity during back to back days of riding...is it just a matter of roughing it? Do you mind sharing advise and tips to be organised for that 😉

Well it depends on what trip !!! Everest was a Orgaized trip so rain or shine or snow you ride as per the schedule , a few really tough days . On other trips that I organize I just adjust the ride according to the weather. But having the right gear is really important . I use Klim and it's the best purchase I ever made !!! also waterproof boots.
