    I ride in the city and do a lot of filtering. So i dont like to add hand guards because of the extra width they add. Would you reccomend heated grips or rather get some heated gloves? Its hard to imagine grips getting warm enough to warm my fingers through gloves and wind, but heated gloves dont provide good protection, i just cant decide.

    NICE! Very well done! Great layout! I'm just getting familiar with my new to me 2015 DCT ABS, I'm a former BMW K75RTA owner as well as a Suzuki GS 850, I didn't think I could transition to a chain or automatic but here I am! Love it so far, I do miss my BMW fairings though!

    I realize this is an older video and you might be aware of this but there is/was a rack available from a member of the NC forum that replaced the passenger seat and had a hole for access to the fuel cap without removal. If you do a search you should be able to find it.

    When riding in mud and slush spray PAM or such on the bike and it helps keep this from baking on hard. It is easier to clean up.

    In 2013 I ride to Alaska on a BMW R 1150 GS that I purchased used with 1800 miles in it was an much earlier bike and they had installed panniers an trunk on it. This was early June and the roads were sloppy and slippery. I had installed tk 80s. Man the Harleys wallowing just like hogs and many slide of the of the road and 2 past the road construction crews were lifting them out. Sure a beautiful trip. Now have an AT and a CB500X set up with Rally Raid and T-Rex Racing bars and skid plate.

    GREAT VIDEO INFORMATION! I'M TRANSITIONING FROM HARLEY BACK TO HONDA. BEING OLDER NOW I WANT LESS WEIGHT, MORE OFF ROAD SCENERY, ADVENTURE AT A SLOWER PACE (LIKE ME) LOL.. 7100 MILES IS A REAL ADVENTURE STORY. MY LONGEST WAS TO MONTANA, ROCKIES, WYOMING BIGHORNS AND ROUND TRIP 2800 MILES. I CANNOT IMAGEN 7100 BUT WOULD LOVE TO DO ALASKA.

    coming to this video New Years day 2021. Am 2yrs into my return to motorcycling after 30 off. Last two yrs riding a 2010 Honda nc700v ( also a bike very popular in Europe but not in states) and am looking to upgrade with longer trips in mind, including the ability to go on forest/ dirt roads, but not hard core off roading. I have been looking at the Honda, now 750x DCT and wondering on your opinion as to waiting for new 2021 version with some nice new features, but an inch lower from shorter shock travel vs 2016, etc with relatively higher ground clearance . I am 5'6" with 30" inseam, so feet closer to ground and even lower center of gravity would be welcome. Do you think 1" lower ground clearance would matter on the dirt roads you experienced? Thanks, HankH

    Your poster image for the video shows a tank bag. Can you talk more about that, or maybe you have another video on that? I just got a 2014 NC and am looking for a tank bag that will will work with the plastic lid to the storage compartment. Thanks for sharing your experience!

  • @randyreek
    @randyreek5 жыл бұрын

    Yes, I always use a tank bag for long trips. Handy for camera, bug dope, charger cords, maps and misc. You need a bag with a harness that straps around the front frame and side frame tubes. Then the tank bag just unclips. I bought this one from Revzilla, but it's probably been discontinued by now. Check out Moose ADV bags.

    Randy, I love the 700 and I am considering buying one, but I do Iron Butt rides that often include looooong stretches of highway. How fast could you cruise freeways for extended periods and what king of range could I expect. I don't camp, choosing hotels instead, so my luggage loads are some clothes and electronics, virtually no food or water..... thanks in advance! Nicely set up bike and great video.

    What I love about this is that if you watch any of the video reviews done by the motorcycle magazines on this bike, they tell you that it’s a commuter and nothing else. Can only be ridden in town. You can’t tour, you can’t go off the pavement. I’d say this bike can do everything a GS can do at a fraction of the cost of ownership.

    The way you have that setup it looks an awful lot like it's bigger brother the African twins and it does also come with the DCT but you can buy 3 of the bite that you have versus the African twin which I'm with you why spend $30,000 for the same amount of fun as a $10,000 ride to me and don't make a lot of sense enjoyed your video very informative thank you and hope to catch more your videos
