I'm 69 and have 6 bikes, the latest is a Kawasaki ZX14 that I'm putting bar risers on, but I also have an FJR, Concours, Suzuki B King, Yamaha FZ6R and the NC700X. I like to ride aggressively, but less so than the past. I've totaled 3 bikes over my 55 years of riding, but thankfully never been...

I'm 69, been riding 55 years, have 6 bikes: '18 Kawasake ZX14, '17 Yamaha FZ6R, '15 Kawasaki Concours, '14 Yamaha FJR1300, '08 Suzuki B King, and of course a '16 Honda NC700X. Unfortunately, the Honda and I have never bonded, and I'll be selling it when the weather warms up a bit.

Ok, guys, thanks for the replies. It's not that I need to go much faster, just that I thought that it might. By the way, I have 5 motorcycles: 2014 FJR, 2015 Concours, 2008 Suzuki B King (Google it--it's the fastest of the bunch; 150 mph before I chickened out) 2017 Yamaha FZ6R, and the NC700...

I've got a 2016 NC700X with about 1400 miles on it, had about 900 miles on it when I bought it eariler this year, obviously hadn't been ridden much. It has a Madstad windshield and bar risers on it, and I put a Seat Concepts seat on it. I can't get the damn thing over 95 mph, wide open throttle...

Good point. I guess I'll try the Seat Concepts re-working of the factory seat.

Do they curve up in the front to where you don't get pushed into the frunk like the stock seat does, and in your opinion, are they worth $430?

Have any of you tried or do any of you have the Top Sellerie seats from France that are listed on eBay for about $338.00, but with $89.00 shipping fees? any feedback/ comments would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike.

Thanks for the replies; this will help me make my decision. And now for installation of the new parts.

OK, like an idiot, had a tip-over, scraped side fairing, mirror, bar end and slightly bent the shift lever. Unbelieveably, no engine scraping. But the bike is a lot heaver to pick up when it's flat on the pavement than I ever imagined (but, hell, I'm old [68]) Who makes a good engine crash bar...

Thanks for the replies. I called my local dealer, and it's still under warranty for another 3 weeks. WooHoo!!!

Just got my 2016 NC700, manual shift, with only 600 miles on it, and everything is fine except sometimes the turn signal switch just won't move, no matter how hard I push on it. Then it'll work for a while, but then it'll revert back to being impossible to move. When it does move, it is often...
