Sold my Harley Heritage Softale Classic because of health reasons and bought the 2024 Honda NC750x DCT earlier this year and love it. It has allowed me to keep riding. I have nothing to prove and ride humbly and happy.

I have had mine for just over a year…..simply love it….and yes if you want ultra fast then get another bike, but lose your licence….seriously it’s a great bike with plenty of grunt, and yes it can go….all good points about the bike bar one…..the standard screen just is rubbish, mine scratches with the lightest touch…..get yourself a centre stand, hand guards and front and rear h fender extender, hugger…..and you are good to go….I am a returned rider after 43 years, nasty accident when 19, drunk driver ended my Yamaha RD250LC….nasty injuries, so a DCT really helps me…..my wish list…..maybe belt or shaft drive, maybe another disc up front and maybe cruise control……lovely bike….you will just enjoy the whole experience…..now, where is that Ducati……hehe..

I used to fit a XXL helmet in the front compartment. The bike excels in fuel economy, reliability, and practicality. Basically a work horse

I live in SoCal, bike Averages 53mpg…I’ve owned this bike for a month. first time rider friendly and very approachable for most ppl. It’s definitely fast enough for freeways and has enough passing power available whenever you need it. ❤

[jerrythacker]

Great bike, 58hp is more than enough. I also have a Harley Heritage that sits on the charger because I don’t ride it enough. The NC is a do it all solid machine.

[RohanKadam-oluh]

I loved how you obey the traffic rules and drive safely ❤ Love from India ❣️🫰

One of my favorite bikes of all time and I’ve never owned one. I came close in 2021 but I couldn’t get ahold of a DCT and a Rebel 1100 landed in my lap. Should have gotten the manual NC when I could. Now it’s DCT only for the US market. It’s the James May of motorcycles and I love that about it. Makes no sense to most traditional riders (yet it’s a best seller in the EU) but makes perfect sense to me. I need to buy one before they’re discontinued. I wouldn’t mind having DCT again, but I think this is actually a really fun engine to short-shift so I’ll try to find a low mileage 2021-22 manual.

I've had the CRF1000L Africa Twin the Honda XADV 750 and now the Honda NC 750X.
ALL DCT.
They're all great bikes. My next will be the 2025 XADV 750 The upgrades will make it perfect for me 😊

[OhSoddit]

Funniest thing - I'd just watched your XR150L vid, and seeing a COMPARISON run was absolutely brilliant!!
Please keep up the good work!

I didn’t think you were going to get out of that hole! 😄 I enjoyed your video, it was just what I wanted….to see what the bike was like from the riders perspective, to hear the motor and see how the transmission worked without that sound being buried by incessant chatter and loud music. Thank You! I am interested in your opinion of the DCT transmission. It seemed to rev out nicely when you really got on it, but other times at slower speeds it seemed to kind of lug the motor. Your thoughts?

[alpr]

Nice stock exhaust sound. I can hear from here where I am sitting with my ear headphones. 😂

[mindspinn]

Btw I knew exactly where you were at the start of the ride. Right next to Oakley HQ in Foothill Ranch! I ride Santiago Canyon often. Have you been inside Oakley? It’s impressive. I’ve actually been lucky enough to shop at the hidden employee store. You wouldn’t believe the discounts!

[SmokeyES]

Gonna put my deposit down on one thats coming in in June. Super stoked will look nice parked alongside my navi

[rogerparliman]

When he went on the rough trail that was a little to much for that bike if he does it again I wouldn’t be surprised if it develops fork leaks or bent legs

[محمدسعيد-وهه]

Is there a vibration at high speed, I mean after 120 km/h?

[ToniR]

The bike is nice, but the dash is horrible - imagine the beautiful clocks of a classic Honda with dark green tacho, white needles and a little red point on the peak....

[MoeAso-lgvr]

I wish the kept the S version of this bike

[faceless.anonymous]

The way he pushed the engine start button right after turning on the key makes my organs hurt

[MisterDx]

awww yes the major downside 14:21... the really low clearence =(

[elapssa]

Can someone please tell me if the screen shows outside temperature?
