750S versus 750X

[Tiny Tim]

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on a new NC750x. I managed to drop my Triumph Trophy on my left foot and broke bits and pieces. The Stormtrooper boot is now off and I can hobble about so, time to go to the dealer and look at the X with a view to arranging a nice long test ride next week or the week after.

That's when I saw this.



I never thought I could be drawn by a colour scheme but this has definitely touched my feminine side.

Now my question is this. I've looked out all of the bits and bobs that I wanted to put on the X. Will they all fit on the 750S?

Apologies to our Colonial Cousins as I understand the 750S is not marketed in the US.

It really depends on the bits and bobs. I have 2013 S but my experience is some things are the same and some are different.

 

[Tiny Tim]

I've figured most of them out now, just the screen. Are the mountings the same for both models?

 

[HarveyM]

No, aftermarket screens for the NC750x are mounted to the factory windscreen mounting points while there are no factory windscreen mounting points on the S models. You need to go with a handlebar mounted screen.

 

[TheIronWarrior]

there are no factory windscreen mounting points on the S models.

This is false. The S model does in fact have mounting points for windscreens on the metal frame around the headlight. The mount points however are in a different pattern than those on the X model so the windscreens are not cross-compatible. You can certainly purchase windscreens to fit the S model without having to buy universal fit "handle bar mounted screens".

 

[HarveyM]

I stand corrected- thanks!

 

[TheIronWarrior]

I also think the 'S' would look silly with a relatively larger screen, kind of defeats the styling of a 'naked' bike to slap a big ol' sheet of plexi on front!

I'm old enough not to care whether I look silly or not I have ridden with and without my 22" Madstad...I prefer with. To each their own.
