I'm reading the experiences about the 2021 NC750X with interest. I have 21,000 miles on a 2018 NC750X but have been eyeing a 2021 as I had thought the seat may be better, and it's a little lower. Well I went and looked at one yesterday and my impressions. It's a completely different machine! It...

Tried it, not for me.

Personally, I think the NC750X is a great highway bike, excepting lack of CC! I've put just under 14,000 miles on mine this year, love the bike, but must admit I've been looking at the Versys 1000 and Tracer 900 GT mostly for the cruser control alone. Reality check, I don't want to give up the...

Why O Why no cruise control? I would trade up in a heart beat for cruise control!

Ok, I've put nearly 10,000 miles on my NC750X manual transmission in 9 months and it does have a peculiar engine! I very much think what you are describing as "chatter" is low rpm lugging of the engine. Has anyone noticed the suggested shift points for the manual transmission? I don't have the...

I own a Madstad as well. Be sure of the hight you want! I started with a 20 inch, but moved to a 22. There's not nearly as much hight adjustment as you may think, but there's plenty of angle adjustment. I like to look just over the top of the screen and a shield hight standing straight up may be...

Bicycles, motorcycles, and quads have sold like toilet paper around here! I had a bicycle shop tell me he couldn't even get tubes for road bike tires as of now! Motorcycle showrooms that where full of bikes and quads in February, look like used car lots today! There seem to be fewer motorcycles...

I pulled the right side of my 2018 yesterday to install two power sockets. I only had to partially disassemble it twice, but nothing left over. I also had a loose instrument cluster/ windshield mount on that side. When I removed the inner panel one of the two bolts holding it just fell out! The...

I like that extra lighting you have there! Did you tap directly into the taillight wires? I'm all about being seen as well (I look like a giant highlighter on a motorcycle).btw, Hopin on another forum.

Thought I'd post this up and give a little initial feed back. This is the SW-MOTECH Aero ABS side cases on EVO racks. The top case fits on the street tail piece. They are all quick on, off. The whole thing can be removed and replaced in about a minute, including side racks. I think they look...

I wear a modular in the cold weather, and a 3/4 with a face shield when it warms up a bit. I could give a shit what anyone thinks I look like. Hell, I ride in KY and have Harley dudes pass me with a T- shirt, jeans, sunglasses, and no helmet, and I'm sure they think I'm silly in high-vis gear!

Do you drive on the left?

You'll be a happy man! I started back a little over a year ago on a Rebel 500. I put a little over 8000 miles on it last summer, had one mishap, could never get comfortable, too cramped, but a great little motorcycle. I traded for an NC750X in November and love love love it! We've had a mild...

I'm a relative noob in road riding and an occasional gravel road is the most off pavement my NC750X is likely to see. I was stunned at how fast the OEM tires wore down, but in retrospect, around 4000 miles was all I could squeeze out of the Dunlop tires on the a rebel 500 both OEM and the next...
