Hey there ladies and gents!
I'm a new NC700X rider as of this afternoon!
There are a few of you here that I recognize from ModernVespa - great to see you guys and to meet everyone else.
I came from a Piaggio MP3 400 which was my first bike since a Puegot scooter back in the late 80s. After Piaggio started dropping dealers lately, I decided that I should move to a bike that's more "bike" than maxi-scoot and one that would have world-wide dealer/service support.
My first shopping trip had me convinced I was going to buy a BMW R1200RT. Then I visited my local bike shop and my previous sales guy recommended I check out the NC700X. It was love at first sight! (The bike, not my sales guy...) After seeing it on Friday, I decided to talk my wife into getting it. Fast forward to today and the stars lined up - so it's mine.
I got the manual gear box with the side bags, top case, center stand, light bar, heated grips, and 12V outlet. Though the accessories are being delivered and installed next week. For now, she's naked.
Anyway - since this is my first manual gear box (other than the 250cc bike at the riders' safety course), I've got some practicing to do! Thankfully, it's going to take a break from winter tomorrow and be in the mid-60s. Yay!
Cheers all!
