    6 years with mine and every ride is a treat. never less than 75 mpg (US). Handling, breaking, power, comfort, looks, reliability! all superb. 57 years riding 60+ bikes owned several more ridden and the NC still amazes me.

    Same here, 40 years of riding and in my opinion the Honda NC bikes are the most versatile bike if you take everything into consideration. A real Jack of all trades. I have two and they're here to stay. Safe rides 🙏🏍👍

    Ray - looking for a versatile adventure-based bike platform (don't mind making some mods from stock). Will be used on long distance touring on dirt roads, forestry service roads in Arizona. Compacted dirt roads, but with potholes and the occassional obstacle - ... nothing 'offroad' though - In your experience is this bike a good fit for that use? Seems like the engine design and higher torque at low RPM is a love-it-or-hate-it-thing. But for me coming from a big bore V-Twin past, I think I'd be ok with that but haven't ridden one yet. Your thoughts?

As I've been researching them offroad cause I'm planning to get one and possibly doing some light trails and wondered how it might do in the dunes here in Michigan. I really like the dct but they seem to offer it on anything that not 500lbs. I plan to pick one up and focus on getting the weight down as much as possible!

But they do not have the range to ride longer than 2 hours. A gas bike with an auto transmission should do the trick! They even installed a cornering ABS on the AT, after I told one of their guys at the bike show in Orlando that I want one! 👍
