Why the Honda NC750X is NOT an Adventure Bike

After travelling 80,000km over 5.5 yrs I haven't been able to have an adventure on the NC as it is not an adventure bike

Correction - that’s “more than 250mm of travel” - not “more than 150mm”. Woops.

This video should be sponsored by BMW. Living on the NC500 I often see groups GS riders having great adventures; stopping with
out falling over, getting their buddies help to put the bike on the centre stand or, the biggest adventure, doing a U-turn !!!!

I totally agree! The NC is not an adventure bike. I visited more than 30 countries with it in all kind of conditions from desert to forest to snow and ice but I never had an adventure with it… it was always so boring to see this beautiful places because I was on a NC…😉🤣.

I also met some people who are traveling the world on scooters they are even worse. They saw the whole world on a scooter 🛵 what a waste of time… if only they would have a BMW1250GS for 30.000€ than and only than they would have an adventure :)

I’m glad you made it out of there safe an sound! It must have been nerve wracking when you realized you weren’t on an adventure bike and still had to get home.

Well I'm a proud owner of a NC750X with 77k on clock. Recently up to Darwin from Brisbane. And have traveled around a bit. When you loose track of time even what day it is. Only knowing your going in this direction. No planned time to start or stop. And your just having great fun traveling with your mate. Then its all a Adventure and always will be. May the kilometres bring you peace.

Fantastic video, and fantastic irony! Really appreciate all your videos and especially your point of view and humor! Cheers mate

[mikefreeriderAsia]

Thanks for bringing us on your adventure!!! I think one of the big problems with NC is it just won't last as I've reached 237, 000 km today and realize that every time I sit on it I love where it brings me and that's my adventure.

You don't need an adventure bike to go on an adventure...so long as you enjoy the journey you have embarked, that's already an adventure ! ! video 👍😊

[Herzankerkreuz]

I hate my two embarrassing and pathetic NC bikes so much that I have even decided to never ever sell them. Just to prevent others from being as unhappy as I am.😆
Thanks and as always:
Safe rides 👍🏍🙏

[davidwilliams]

Here in England I don't have adventures on my NC either 🙃 but I have known monsterus BMs to have adventures to the supermarket and back. An adventure is what you make it people have been round the world on a Honda cub !

[menadionnassertamtama]

todays motorcycles are so capable that they could actually be used to do multiple things. BMW GS for daily commuting, Vespa for touring, even Honda cub for cross country adventure.

Every bike I owned was an adventure bike, even a 50cc at 16 years old that were the only bikes allowed by law in South Africa. I cheated and put an 80cc motor in mine.

Thank you for providing these videos. It’s always enjoyable to get an update on your rides and the maintenance you undertake on the bike. I haven’t ridden for a few years, but there’s still an itch there that needs to be scratched someday. Stay safe. MP

At the start of video I was like - "Is this guy for real?", but I kept watching and found out it's sarcasm :) I mean I don't want to have "adventure" bike, I want a Goldwing 2023 - but I can't afford - small purchase (or small loan from my father) of ~36, 000 USD to buy one. Those people who are suggesting to buy African Twin, etc... I'm glad that you are rich and can afford it - not jealous at all, but I hate when they rub it in to those who are riding what they can afford. Good video :) Made me smile :)

Was heading off to bed when I saw this video pop up. (It's a little after 11 pm in Victoria BC Canada.). I wanted to get to bed a little earlier than usual since I am going on a non-adventure early tomorrow morning. We will ride from the bottom to the top of a fjord, into the farming valleys, over to the old growth forests to a large lake, and then veer off into the mountains gaining and then losing hundreds of meters of elevation, eventually making it to the western side of the island looking across the Pacific Ocean. From there we will ride the curvy coastline through incredible twisties to get back to the highway home. It'll take the better part of the day and we will be exhausted when all done. I hope my NC750X is up for this non-adventure!
Thanks for the video.

[podunkman]

I'm really sorry that u had not experienced any adventure ride so far...
🤣
I love your video - greetings from Poland!

[davidmatthews]

Thanks for that. I have a CB500X and so many people as so keen to tell me it’s a street bike and unsuitable to use off tarmac. That’s strange because I regularly use it on gravel, mud and grass. I’ve even ridden it through deep water and both up and down steep hills on loose surfaces. I don’t understand, they insist on telling me it’s a road bike but (so far) it’s coped with everything I’ve put in it’s path. It’s so confusing.

[kevinsmusings]

Thank you for this thoroughly delightful video. You capture the spirit of motorcycling perfectly - every ride can be an adventure. Looking forward to many more of your 'non adventures' to get me through the grey British winter months.

Oh, come On! Be a Man!! go and buy a 30k BMW GS! And then spend another 2k on essential protection accessorize that should come as standard on those huge Boxer engines, make sure you have a winch and the ability to call the army and bring their chinooks helicopters to help you lift the Motorcycle up every time you fall, that's a real seriously, Great Content😉

[Cabooseified]

Thank you for the sarcasm!!!! I love it! You don't need to have a 1 liter powerhouse to have an adventure. Is the NC750X perfect no, but it's good enough for everyday riding as well as going on "not adventures" on dirt roads on the weekend. NGL, at first I was mad before figuring out you were being sarcastic. You don't need 150 BHP, a high seat height, or an expensive price tag to go on an adventure. As an ADV rider myself, I get tired of some of the elitest mentality that comes from more expensive ADV bike owners.

Thanks again
