I hear you. As I love my NC for its low center of gravity, I'm not afraid for the NT. I'm sure it is a lot closer to the NC than a ST1300 for the center of gravity. Reviewers noticed its general "lightness".The NT is based on the Africa Twin platform and it’s engine sets higher in the frame in addition to being nearly vertical. Although the overall weight is similar to the NC a 525 lb AT feels much heavier due to the higher center of gravity. I fear the NT1100 will have a similarly placed CG though the road use 17” focused wheels will reduce it somewhat. Something to think about.
I've read this review lately, among many others, titled "Why I DIDN’T Buy A Honda NT1100". All "dislikes" of the reviewer are not an issue for me except for the "the messiest assortment of buttons I’ve ever seen" on the left handlebar...
