I have missed having an NC in the garage since I traded my 13 700 (6sp) in on my Tiger Explorer. Unlike most (I suspect) I use the NC nearly exclusively for weekend sport riding. I don't claim to be, nor aspire to be, searching for max speed, I just want to have a great time. Experts may suggest...

And maybe it's not that original but while out riding yesterday it occurred to me that my NC700x is the street equivalent of a trials bike. We recently added a 2015 Kawasaki Versys 650 LT to the stable and Donna and I did some technical touring through the TN hills yesterday to test the LT's...

Anyone know how the NCs are doing in the Rally? In the 2015 Iron Butt Rally of course. KEB

The Girl (Donna) is a finalist at US 129 Photos | Highest Quality Photos on the Dragon for photo of the week. Would be very cool if we could help vote her to the top. She loves riding the NC but was on the Tiger this week but we should forgive her defection this one time. ;)

Second EDIT....After further research I did find a real-world instance of a 525 chain upgrade being done. It was done in the UK, by a Honda dealer, on a Honda Integra. The owner of the scoot was gracious enough to post the JT Sprocket part numbers right off his shop bill. Here is a shot of that...

But the frunk is lost in the mix so i'm sure we all agree that this would be a downgraded version of the NC. Supports my contention all along that the NC is a sport bike dressed to look otherwise. :)

He has become an NC700x fan. Said he just installed a DCT suspension for someone from Tennessee and he was very impressed with the bike. Anyone here? Said the guy was in his 70's. He has had to listen to me go on and on about how horsepower just gets in the way of a quick mountain ride and...

We had a fantastic time at Barber and even met up with a couple of NC owners who are not members of this forum, but may soon be. The bike averaged 79 mpg for the 3 day trip as we only got on the interstate for 100 miles of the 740 total. The new suspension was outstanding with true plushness on...

Arrived yesterday and was installed on the bike and tested last night. The straight wound springs were the wrong diameter, too large, so I put in the stock progressive springs with the stock spacer. This resulted in additional, but in no way excessive, spring preload. After doing the forks I...

I already posted the picture in the 2014 photo thread but our fire-breathing NC made the June 11, 2014 Killboy highlights. I made sure to send a copy to Cogent Dynamics to show them the free advertising they missed out on as they are a little late getting my new shock and fork kit to me. They...

Instead of Race Tech Gold Valves and the economy Ohlins shock I decided I would try the Cogent DDC (drop-in damper cartridge) and the Cogent Shock. It will take a couple of weeks for the custom shock to be built so expect some meaningful performance feedback by mid May. Cogent may not be a...

Fun day yesterday at Deals Gap acting like a child: Xtreme Sports Photography at PhotoReflect.com - The Dragon March 22nd, 2014 Saturday Xtreme Sports Photography at PhotoReflect.com - The Dragon March 22nd, 2014 Saturday KEB

One of my reasons for buying the NC700x was to do some light touring to Florida and Maine this year from my home in Knoxville. My reasoning for the NC instead of using my Tiger 800, VFR, Versys, or buying a purpose-built long haul machine was the combination of reduced running costs/maintenance...

So I took of work and sneak up to Deals Gap and then Robbinsville for a bite to eat. The NC worked great as I expected it would with only some worn peg feelers to tell the story. I installed the Centerstand, Honda heated grips and Acc outlet last night. The grips were fantastic in the cooler...

I have been a member this forum for a while and I finally purchased a red 2013 NC700X manual version. This will give me 4 bikes, 09 Versys, 12 Tiger 800 (Road) and 07 VFR800. All three bikes have over 20K so I ride more than I stay parked. A twin, a triple and a four, all with over 20K on them...
