OK I just wondered. I'm afraid Yes is not my taste in musicHello Rocker66 and thank you. My username refers to an album by Yes, from way back when, nothing to do with railways I'm afraid.
I'm mikerbike . I've had that username since I rode BMWs for years, especially R bikes. I am a semi-retired social worker in south central Pennsylvania. I just off-loaded a Concours14 and a 500 Ninja that was my commuter bike and bought an NC700XDC. I've been riding since 1966, commuting, touring and romping. At the age of 68, I've decided it's time to downsize a bit and slow down. I never expected to ride a bike with no clutch lever and I still catch myself squeezing air with my left hand. Haven't put many miles on the NC, yet because I've been a little busy but I'm enjoying it. I'm not a big farkler but I just put on a base to carry my trusty Givi top case when I need groceries.
I really enjoy this forum. I'm glad it's international, open minded and no one is abusive or obscene. Some forums are just not pleasant.
Hi folks,
I'm a potential NC owner so joined the forum today. Based near Sandwich, Kent, UK, I currently own a Honda 750cc Africa Twin and a few other bikes. The Africa has been a year-round commuter for 10 years and it may soon be time to let it retire and lead an easier life Took the 700X out for a test recently, both the manual and the auto versions, and I have to say I really liked the auto (albeit found myself wanting to change down on some occasions when slowing to a halt!). However, I'll guess I'll probably end up with the manual version as I suspect there's probably less to go wrong over the long term.

Hi RelayerHi to you all from an unusually sunny South Wales. I sold my Suzuki GS750 some 33 years ago and resorted to 4-wheels....and regretted it ever since. About a month ago I went out with a view to reaquainting myself with 2 wheels and fancied a Transalp..... always have, however I tried out the NC700X and bouht one there and then. Am enjoying the experience and have been impressed with the forum so I registered today and thought I'd introduce myself. Hi to you all.
Hello all. I actually joined a few weeks ago. this place is great.
Hello, my name is Mark. Just joined the forum because I am strongly considering the NCX as a daily commuter. I currently ride an 07 VFR 800 and I am a little concerned about the lack of power and fairings with the NCX. Anymore, I only use the bike as a work commuter and I'm looking for something a little more comfortable. My ride is 90+ miles roundtrip, half of that is highway at 75+ mph. How is the wind protection/buffeting at highway speeds, I'm 5'7"? I sat on one at the local shop, feels comfy but you never know until you get her out on the road... I really appreciate everyone's input.
