Who needs an Africa Twin, KTM, or BMW GS???? When you got an NC!!!!

((Please take this as playful banter and not serious talk))

Who needs a $16,000+ bike when you can do it ALL on an $8,000 NC!?!? HaHaHa yeah, I know I am crazy...the GS's have so many cool features like big gas tank, ride comfort settings, the ability to turn off ABS, raise/lower seat, etc etc etc. The KTM...well its just a BadAss Super Capable bike AND no there were no Africa Twins in our ride but what do you really get for so much more money.

Bottom line is: I love the NC and find it way more capable than people think or give it credit for AND do things with the NC MOST people on KTMs and GSs won't.

I look at other bikes and my first thought is it doesn't have a frunk, then it's downhill from there. My NCX has spoiled me

I have used my NC offroad, and although it can do it. I don't feel it is best suited for it for me. That is why I'm looking at getting an Africa Twin. The suspension on the NC wasn't made for offroad. Even with all the money I've put into the suspension on the NC to make it better, it's still not ideal. It leaves me very fatigued in a short period of time as the 17 in front wheel and the short travel of the front forks don't soak up the bumps and ruts very well. It's pretty harsh. The $1300 Wilbers shock I put on the rear is WAY better than the stock shock, but there still is the issue with the front. So, yes the NC can do these things. But, it's not built to do them and other bikes are and can do them better with less rider fatigue. Just my 2 cents.

Frunk, price, MPG, comfort, torque, etc etc etc....I feel the same way!

Fun getting the ole boots wet in a cold creek on a warm summer day...hehehe! The NC can definitely do WAY MORE than what people think or assume.

Motorcycles are definitely not a ONE SIZE FITS ALL kind of thing. I am lucky the NC is MY perfect fit...I can ride that thing ALL DAY LONG!
