We recently picked up a 2016 NC700x for my wife. She is really excited about it. Up until now she has ridden a TW 200 for the last 5 years and she felt like it was time for something bigger. When we started looking i suggested this model because of a couple reasons. First being the mild mannered engine, i figured it would be perfect for her. She didn't want something with a hard hitting powerband like my Ducati has and this engine seems to fit the bill perfect. She wanted an ADV style and this bike was one of the few that i thought she could ride seat height wise. So far she has had no issue riding it but we plan to lower it a little so she has more confidence. The new dogbones are already on the way from Soupy's.
When we test rode the bike i was pretty impressed with it. i think handling wise its great and is very predictable in its nature, the power comes on nice and easy making it a really easy bike to ride. I didn't find it as exciting a bike to ride as my Duc is but i like that the bike is so easy and pleasant to ride. There are no surprises when you get on the throttle which is exactly what she wanted.
So far we plan to lower it and maybe add some panniers and a top box to it and that's about it for mods. I hope i can learn some stuff about the bike on the pages here.
