I have been noodling with the idea of riding the new (1600 miles) NC750 halfway across the country to keep at home for a while. Tried a 235 mi loop today to try to convince myself that wouldn't be a comfortable ride. Failed to discourage myself. Went the first pull to 2:15 hr with only butt breaks a couple of standovers at stoplights. Froze a bit (dressed for the predicted mid 80s, temps dropped to 60s at one point), but a hot coffee stop and gas and I was good to go again. One more stop for some lunch, a couple quick standovers to check navigation, bathroom stop, and I was done early afternoon with plenty of ride left in me.
I'm 6'3" and haven't bothered to put my lowered footpegs on yet (still in the package) because having my legs folded up like birdwings apparently doesn't bother me. When I hit a town with slow speeds I sit on the pillion seat for a while for a change of pace on the cheeks. This "cheap commuter" seems pretty trip capable to this returning geezer. Cruises nicely at the 60-65 that's my top speed. Got 80 mpg my last tank. My "stuff" fits inside my helmet which fits inside the trunk at stops so no mess or worries. May have to succumb to the urge.
