    Avon Trail-rider 120/70 front 150/60 back initial impression

    I've had some tires sitting in my garage for about a year that I bought for my 450x supermoto project. I bought these Avons to add a lil more off road capability to the machine but ended up giving up the sumo life after I bought my NC. I burnt through my stock dunlops (only 4500 miles out of...

    Interesting discovery about using a spoked front wheel

    Not much gains honestly other than a slightly stronger wheel for off-roading. Could couple it with a tire that mimics a 19's diameter like some have done.

    Upgrading from a Burgman 400 in Toronto

    When riding on the street in traffic you want to always keep it in a low enough gear where you can accelerate out of a problem fast enough. It's why rev matching and downshifts are taught when approaching a stop sign, you never know when the person behind you on their phone won't see you and...

    Interesting discovery about using a spoked front wheel

    Now that I think about it, the rear wheel could work too if I just replaced the wheel bearings inside the wheel but it does not have a cush drive. I don't see the point of mix matching cast with spoked, might seriously throw off the geometry but still a fun thought. I use my NC as a touring/ off...

    Interesting discovery about using a spoked front wheel

    I jerry rigged a back and front end lift until my centerstand comes in and removed the back and front wheel. I have some spoked supermoto 17 inch rims that I used on my 450x for a few years and found that while the back doesn't match with the axle diameter, the front matches perfectly but I...

    Hello from L.A. Lower Alabama!

    Hello John welcome to the forum! I own a nc750x 2018 manual version and I can attest to saying it's the best dual purpose bike I've ever owned. I can comfortably tour on it and I've taken it to some gnarly off road without dropping it yet. The engine characteristics puts all the power in the low...

    Upgrading from a Burgman 400 in Toronto

    The thought of shifting a manual is scarier than it actually is, especially since motorcycle transmissions are sequential. My suggestion would be just practice sitting on it and clicking from first to second then down to neutral, all with the clutch pulled in of course, until you get a feel for...

    Hello from North West Louisiana! New member alert.

    Unluckily I rarely have weekdays off and I just blew through all my vacation time :(. Central Arkansas really is gorgeous, the furthest north I've gone on my NC is to Broken Bow Oklahoma and just east of that, north of DeQueen. I didn't stop in Little Rock as long as I wanted to last time I was...

    2019: What did you do to/with your NC700 today?

    I recently took my NC on a trip to Nashville Tennessee from Shreveport Louisiana and a small trip to East Louisiana to this (almost) abandoned wildlife management park. Here's some pics from the journeys.

    Anyone from the ArkLaTexHoma area want to get together?

    I started a small dual sport/adv group in Shreveport but we haven't done very many group rides. The smaller the group the better. It's mainly just me and the buddy on the 690/Buell Ulysses that go out every weekend. There's not a lot of good open trails near the city that hunters or ATV riders...

    Hello from North West Louisiana! New member alert.

    Where in Arkansas are you from? I passed through little rock not too long ago on a trip to Nashville. Took the Natchez Trace back down the way back. Me and my riding buddy (on a Buell Ulysses and a ktm 690 Enduro) make regular stops in East Texas and southern Arkansas goofing around on trails

    Hello from North West Louisiana! New member alert.

    Recent proud owner of a 2018 NC750X here, picked the bike up from a dealer in central Louisiana, bike had 830 miles on it and was discounted by a good amount ( people here don't care about anything except Harley's and sport-bikes). I've now taken her well over 5 thousand miles in the short time...
