Hi everyone,
I currently own a CRL250L Rally and an ST1300.
I am looking into purchasing a new or used motorcycle particularly NC750X/NC700X or 2012 Africa Twin to ride in the summer because the ST is terrible in Arizona heat. The ST engine gets quite hot for comfort, even during a 25 mile commute. I'm considering a new NC750X or a 2012 NC700X, both manual, to be my daily driver during the summer. The used 700 bike is 1/2 the cost of the 750 OTD.
I'm hesitant to buy the NC mainly due to the lack of power. I just don't want to buy something I can't test ride and feel miserable about it afterwards. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
If I buy the NC I would most likely keep the ST for cold weather riding (winter in Arizona). If I buy the Africa Twin I would plan to get rid of the ST.
Thank you.
