I sold my bike a few month ago, but I enjoyed being a member on this forum. so I'd like to share my new videos Footage taken in Slovenia and Austria. Hope, you'll enjoy watching these videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haIhEInCL2w&index=1&list=PL9UaDr39_izGzrtM-GGxKLb_GMBkUKnTl

Sold my bike today, it is gone now! I will miss the frunk and DCT for sure. But not gonna miss the lack of wind protection and the basic suspension ( it was an 700SD version ). I spent a nice time here,enjoyed the never ending farkling saga :) I still believe, it is a good bike, but my needs are...

And don't forget, that the S model's headlight turns with the handlebar, on the X it has different setup. Putting on a bigger screen will not work actually, unless you go with some specific - like madstad. OTherwise it will be also hard to make it work like a factory built model. I gave up...

https://youtu.be/V_vrMpLqAYQ It is near lake Missurina, the upper parking lot is at 2300m. The top of the mountains about 3000m.

Last tour of this year in northern Italy, in the Dolomites. More videos coming soon, but till then here is the first day's ride : Weather was fine, roads are almost great, traffic is light. The only disadvantege was the siesta time, everything is closed between 12 and 15, I was starving :)...

I also rode a CBR250R but only for 1 year. I've never felt any kinda frustrating vibrations on this bike. Those things still remains from the beginning, just like handlebar shaking at low RPM in 6th gear ( before the DCT swithces back from 6th to 5th ). It maybe the light bar end weight. And...

Finally, I met someone, who owns an NT700V. It was a real good condition bike, but damn heavy for me. The owner is about 240lbs(110kg), I' m only 140-150 lbs (65kg or sg like that ). The seat was lowered by 2cms, but it is too wide,I can only tip-toe. I'm 175 cm tall ( 5.8") So I decided to pull...

I only sit on a CTX. It is like a chopper, nearly the same seat position. ( I own a VT750 shadow, it is on sale now because i cannot get familiar with it's handling ) I suggest you to try it before you buy! Highly recommended, otherwise you will not know, what you gonna have. Get to a dealership...

Thank you guys for the replies! Helped me a lot! Just a short conclusion : the 700S series have less fairings than the X. It is like a naked bike. Deauville is like a touring bike, like a smaller ST1300. It affects the wind protection. When I bought mine there were no DCT model from the X series...

90% touring, sometimes commuting

Currently I'm selling my 700S and looking for another bike Options are : NC700XD ( maybe 750 but it is still pricey a bit ) NT700V - Deauville What I do really need is good wind protection, nearly similar MPG What I would really miss is the DCT. Does anyone have any experience on the...

As my results show, ABS will not let you fly like superman. I tested a few times, it works pretty well. You can feel that certain point when the ABS unit will work and the wheel continue to spin. For best results you can try it on a mid-wet road ( not in traffic ) or a sandy tarmac. It will work...

That is why I bought this helmet. Very wide field of view, great air in-out tunnels Much more better than the previous Nolan 103, that was a flip-up type. I use this one with the chin bar always mounted, but 1 click open, not fully closed in the city. So after all, we have a mid-hot...
