Can't thank you enough, along with other KZreadrs that put the time and effort into putting content out there. My nearest Honda dealer is over a 600 ml round trip along with 2, 3 hr ferry crossings ( l live on the outer Hebrides). Great content/info on the NC has convinced me it will be my next bike. Thanks again

thanks for that what a fantastic place to ride in summer,I'd still have a go in winter though👍👍👍🍻

Having had a lifetime of full on sports bikes ( gsxR , R1s etc I went BMW K1200s to slow down and tour , and earlier this year decided to downsize again and looked ‘everywhere’ for a BMW R1200RS ( I wanted to keep shaft drive ) and happened upon superbikefactory and took a ride out to the Macclesfield depot … found an exceptional 6000 mile one owner full history bike at the right price and very happy with the service afforded by James and would certainly use them again

Hi Steve, I've bought from there there service is great, the only negative is if you finance with them, and there ridiculouse admin fee It was £100 when I bought my bike, and they wouldn't budge on price, they did say if I bought again they would waver that fee as a returning customer, again if you price there bikes across the market they are cheap, still love going in there, I'll have to visit some of there other sites. Ride Safe BB👍👍👍

Love riding the lanes through Prestbury👍👍👍

love your review and i can figure we are very similar in what we want and think of many bikes. Never knowingly set my suspension up or had it done , just ride and adjust to what is on offer and as for the Bandit i sold my good old 96 B600 when Ulez started then went Msx125 - XJ600 Diversion - New cb500x - and now im back on a Bandit 650 as they are a pretty reliable work horse. Eventually i may get a Vogue 300 for some light trail riding . all the best

Cheers Chris, got to say the vouge 300 a brilliant bike on the short ride I had it, can't go wrong with the Bandit, but you swap if you rode the NC that's me being cheeky👍👍👍, thanks for subscribing really appreciate people enjoy

Great video. So many good bikes and glad you mentioned the bandit even if it was a 600cc. I ride a 2006 1200cc and although we've moved on a long way since the bandits they are still a really capable bike even today. I saw quite a few different bikes I'd like to try and possibly own but I don't think I'll ever get rid of my bandit which I bought from that very story. I look forward to your next visit.

SBF are to be avoided, due to them charging a £200 admin fee do "checks" they should be doing before buying the bike in the first instance. What's dishonest about it, is they tack it on after the fact, instead of just adding it to the total for sale price like a sensible person/business would do - kzread.info/dash/bejne/i35olI-tg6uagc4.html
