A few people have been scammed on the site, Only use paypal to pay for items for sale by other members. If they will not use paypal, its likely a scam NEVER SEND E-TRANSFERS OF ANY KIND.
Checking out a NC750x facebook group & one member suggested he got his NC down to 420 lbs. “Aluminum Bars, swing arm and pegs, plus losing the stock exhaust and a lithium ion battery removed about thirty pounds.” The swing arm would be off the European Integra scooter...

Someone asked about my pillion rack so here’s a little write up: I started off with an 17-1/2" x 13”, 1/4” thick Epicurean cutting board which a wood fibre/resin composite (originally intended for skateboard ramps), removed the pillion pad, centred it on the cutting board and traced the rear...
Last week I went on my annual Algonquin Park trip on the NC750x, spending two days in the park then heading south to Emily Provincial Park near Peterborough for a couple days. Here’s my trip notes
Thurs, Sept. 27 - Day 1
Gassed up the bike & a 1 litre MSR bottle at a local station. I was...
My riding gear is grey; they show grease & dirt stains wonderfully. I’ve washed my Oylmpia riding pants a couple times without making them noticeably cleaner. That grease and road grime was ground in. Then my newish Helite Adventure jacket developed an oil stain. Hunting for grease removers I...
My campsite at Algonquin provincial park this week. The trip was from Ottawa to the park on day one, camp overnight, then out of the western gate on day two and riding south to Peterborough, and back to Ottawa on day three. The foreground is an Eureka VCS tarp & screen room. Behind a MEC...
There's an interesting interview with a retired Honda Canada engineer on Adventure rider radio-
He says (I'm paraphrasing) that the factory spends years optimizing their models (suspension, tires, performance & weight) and chances are anything the rider does to change their bike is going to...
Honda USA filed a trademark application for NC750x June 10th this year. What it means I'm not sure, but you US riders can have some hope!

I ordered the Givi V35 panniers, Givi-PLX1111 racks and GIVI 1111KIT adaptor plates for my 2016 NC750x. Once I tried fitting them I realized the adaptor plates aren’t long enough to clear the rear plastics! Supertux1 had the same problem fitting his Givi Trekkers here-...
When I travel for a couple days I usually bring an iPad with me. Even on the Vespa I’d bring it. Then I realized I could download the Vespa manuals to it and use it on the road. Since my iPad is in an otterbox, I could even wash my greasy handprints off it (unlike my paper service manual).

Hi All-
I'm toying with the idea of buying the DCT version and wondering if anyone has found any dealer wiggle room on the pricing.
Honda Canada gives the Ontario net price (fees but not taxes) at $10,604.
This would be a trade up from my 2007 Vespa 250 with 35k on it. Due to carpel...
