Nevermind about whatever April jokes, but I do not like blaming it on Italy. Never ever got any trouble there (traveling to Italy quite often). Once parked car at Lago di Garda, tourist parking lot, took out mountain bikes and went for a day trip. Returning back to the car, found car key...

Well I have been getting several nice motorcycle parts from the US, so I would not put it like this. However, Ilmberger is a well known provider for racing parts, so quality should be fine, and reduced pricing of this part should still allow international shipping. I personally would still...

I have been using some ordinary cheap UV resistant transparent all purpose plastic sheet. This works nicely if applied carefully. It will easily prevent from light scratching or grinding, but certainly not from bad carving into it.

Basically I was saying it is perfect for me the way it is. While others suggested I should chop my engine, for whatever reason, although for me it is perfect just like it is. If someone feels the engine should be made smoother, because only engines running smooth are valid (per law?), engine is...

You could do it the other way round, just in case. Add some rotating mass, some balancer here and there. Pull a heavy trailer, add some throttle clamp, whatever. Lots of ways to calm it down. There are lots of those bikes available already. Actually, most of them are like this. So there is no...

No idea about BMW, but calling the NCs slow and soft shaking "vibration" seems mistaken to me. Ever ridden a big thumper? I should think so. It is quite similar. Nothing special about it. There are so many "smooth" bikes out there. Why flatten the New Concept engine? I for myself found a good...

For the NC700X it would need to be positioned downwards a bit more due to increased rear suspension travel. So it would probably also be a question of geometrie of lever pivot points. But, AFAIK even the cheap looking NC standard swingarm is extremely expensive...

Bingo. Pls install. Will keep my black wheels, however :)

Yes, mentioned already without any reaction ;) http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc750-general-discussion/3269-nc750-17.html#post69992 and http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc750-general-discussion/3269-nc750-18.html#post70115 The thing is: it is much more than some sparkle. They modified bodywork and...

Well, if we are into scooters now, here is something for you take everything offroad guys: This is a Yamaha T-Max Scooter: TCROSSER Hyper Modified

Yes, there is frunk latch buzz. Not easy to realize, but you can tell when using a camera mounted on frunk lid. Even with image stabilization it will shake badly at certain revs. However, this can be reduced by putting in some rubber layer near the latch or just loading frunk to the top. I did...

In case I once more had to decide about which NC version to get for myself, I would most likely get the new Integra 750(S). A new body fairing and some real nice technical and style upgrades (apart from the new engine; also much more changes than the new NC750X received) make this an attractive...

I like the new Integra 750 with this color scheme. There is however no need to upgrade my NC700X. Still happy :) Wow, the Integra 750 got a new and very pretty swingarm I wish the NC7xx had such a swingarm. But no, still same old stuff.

Always wearing full face helmets. However, the noise of the EBC pads does not seem any special to me. No idea about Galfer. The EBC pads' noise compares to the braking noise I experienced with other motorcycles as well. I might even have encountered similiar braking noise with my stock pads once...
