Just moved back after a few years in WA . Sold my BMW K75s before I left and was going to get another one here, but I bought a little newer machine ['12 nc700x] with 7800 mi. . I really like it and am glad I didn't buy into all the negatives about the engine lacking power. It's got plenty for me. I can see that I will need a few mods right away, seat and windscreen. I might try the cheap seat mods I've read about here, raising the front so you don't keep sliding forward. I'm 6'1 and the non stock screen it came with is noisier than a room full of kindergartners. My beemer had a corbin gunfighter that was pretty comfy. I only weigh about 165 wet and have long legs. I fitted a guftason screen to it, they are all custom and come in lots of heights and widths and colors. Advice on the screens available would be welcome. I'd like to fit a rack so I can strap my uke to the back, but can see that may be a challenge with the filler where it is. this ain't my first Honda, Started with a 90 when I was 15, then a 350, 305, 750 cafe. Had a 1200 Bandit and BMW boxer before 2 BMW K75's. Was looking for something more maneuverable and practical then the usual crotch rockets or Hardly,s that seem so prevalent round here. I may have found it. glad you guys and gals are here. I plan on doing the maintenance myself, but the bike doesn't look like it needs much. chain, sprockets, rubber, fluids all look good. Guess it will be time to have a look a the valves pretty soon.
