My NC700X feels like it can do 70-80 mph all day long. Relaxing for long rides since it's not revving like a sport bike. Weight is down low which matters to me more as I get older. Checked the mileage once & got 70 mpg.

I like your videos...but the hyperbole in this statement gave me whiplash: "A lot of people look at those two bikes and think they're very similar, but it couldn't be further from the truth." Yes, actually, there are all kinds of ways this could be further from the truth. These two bikes are begging for comparison. They are different, but they overlap in all kinds of ways. /rant

The NC is more like car. It's a practical, safe choice. Helps that it's made up of half a car engine.

Did you say "Quirkiness"? That word means behavior that is unusual, unexpected, peculiar. Those are not words that make me feel comfortable on a motorcycle.

The NC700x was covered by you some months ago. So a lot of the information was repeated. Although since it was a comparison, i forgive you for a lot of repeated information. I still think you give the most informative reviews, and i do love your relaxed manner. So keep them coming, because i enjoy every one.

I researched the cb500x for a year and watched every video on it and when I went to ther dealer they had a nc700x leftover that was marked down quite a bit. I bought the NC thinking it was a bigger and better version of the cb. It is definitely not. It really feels like a scooter and im not super impressed with the power. I do appreciate the efficiency but I regret not getting the 500.

CB 500x has 19" front nowadays. Also RallyRaid kit to make it a genuine ADV bike. Talking about the service and that stuff is secondary to the off road abilities.

Thank you for posting this. I really enjoyed the informative review. These are the two bikes that I've narrowed the next one down to. Probably newer ones but I'm currently leaning towards the NC750. Once I can find one.

17" tires are always readily available no matter where you are and the choices are 20x more .The NC does have a helmet lock under seat if you want to save the frunk which any smart person would ;) .

You make it sound like the cb out performs the nc but I don’t believe that is true? The nc is supposedly Honda’s biggest selling model in Europe. Also you called the motor scooter like but wouldn’t it be more correct to compare it to a cruiser engine?

I agree with you in every word! I own a NC750X DCT, Greetings from Mexico

Great review and comparison. Very helpful. Thank you.

Very useful review, thanks.

Great comparison video, as a lot of people cross shop these two bikes. I miss my CB500X.

That was very informative and well thought out! Kudos, young man!!

DC to Cali is quite a trip.

I very much appreciate your video and thoughts on these two bikes. Very informative, My thinking has gone from which one do I want, to which one do I want first!!! :)

Would love your opinion on this one - I currently ride a 700x and I'm thinking of downsizing to a 500x just for the off-road factor, since the NC is a behemoth off road, isn't easy to pick up and really isn't confidence inspiring. I did ride a friend's 2013 500X, it's lighter but feels like it's working hard once you get to 100 kph and above, unlike the NC which is very relaxed. Would a downgrade to a 500x be that big of a difference when riding on dirt?

Yes- bmw gas on rear is far easier. Like to see comparison of f800r to nc750. Bu still; te dct is a plus

Need more leg romon cb for tall pesons. Or taller seat
