Hi
I am going to acquire a NC 700 X.
Probably a 2012 model with 20000-30000 km.
I live in Europe and will ride it in the city (30-50 km/h) and in the countryside (80-90 km/h). Once in a while on the highway (130 km/h).
I am 180cm tall, weigh 100kg and my wife is 160cm for 50kg.
I will ride the bike half the time alone and half the time with my wife as a passenger.
Usually 1-3 hours trips, with luggage.
This is what I plan to upgrade fairly quickly:
- adding crash bars and adding led lights on them.
- Auto Chain Lubrication System
- hand protectors and heating grips for winter.
- wind deflector/screen/shield
- top case (with passenger back rest) and side cases
- improved driver and passenger seats for comfort
- better tyres for security (I don't know which ones yet)
Should I also upgrade the front and rear suspensions ? For comfort and security for two people. If yes could you advise ?
I'm looking for any advice on best upgrades.
Thank you all
PS: I am posting this both as a presentation and as a request for advice.
