2021 NC750x vs 2014 BMW F800GS

I don't think the F800GSA does but the VFRX competed in the 1200cc class and those competitors do.

Gotcha and thanks! He should still look at the VFR; great bike even without cruise!

Just out of curiosity, have you considered a VFR1200X? In my opinion it is a wonderful bike with little vibration, outstanding power, shaft drive, roomy, and relatively inexpensive.

Just read this. I did not consider the VFR, looks very similar fairing to the NC750. This said, I already bought the 2014 F800GS Adventure with just 3k miles on it. Haven't been able to ride it more than a couple of times, but seemed good. Also has skid plate, panniers, and few other perks. Included in the model is also an auto-off for turning signals, which I expect to like a lot since I was forgetting the signals on 10% of the time on the NC (the NC has also very tiny leds for turning signals which make it more difficult to see).

I don't know the answer to this but does the 14 GS have cruise control? If not, it might be an unimportant feature to @bumblepee.

I have not needed cruise control so far, but have not ridden very far anyway with the NC. The 2014 F800FS Adventure I got does not have cruise control. Has heated grips though, which the NC does not

Are you going to sell the NC?

Congrats on the bike! Sounds like you got a nice deal with the panniers and all. Driver facing conspicuity is the element that always gives me the most concern out of the things I can control.

Are you going to sell the NC?

Yes, that's the plan.

Has seat concept comfort seat, Madstad windshield, radiator guard, lowered foot pegs, new battery, under 3k miles

I'll tell my riding buddy to reach out if he's interested. He's an HD guy who is moving away from the brand.
