Currently I'm selling my 700S and looking for another bike
Options are : NC700XD ( maybe 750 but it is still pricey a bit )
NT700V - Deauville
What I do really need is good wind protection, nearly similar MPG
What I would really miss is the DCT.
Does anyone have any experience on the Deauville? I'm not thinking on another manufacturer or type. ST1300 is overpriced, sport type bikes not my kind, enduros also not. VFR800 is more powerful than the NC but it has a very limited market here( only a few and overpriced ) . VFR1200XD is way too big,I sit on it last week, had me hard times to get it on and off
So these are the options for me now.
PRos on the 700V are the fairings and the shaft drive(so-called maintenance free unless it has to be repaired. ) Cons are the lack of DCT and only 5 speed, higher MPG. And for that price ( about 5K ) the NT's are ~2008 model years, the NC's are from 2012-13.
700X series - you know it all.
I do not ride superbike style, but like the twisties. Only commute 2-3 weeks a year, but I mostly use it for longer trips abroad or countrywide. 95% ride on my own, sometimes two-up.
Were you thinking on these before buying the X version?
I really like the NC series frunk and DCT, but the lack of fairing, riding position and wind noise got me to this point.
If there is anyone of you who could help me with some suggestion or experience on this, I'd appreciate that!
est. prices :
700XD 2012-13, 5.5K-->
750XD 2014- 6.5K-->
NT700V ~2008 5K-->
ABS is a must have for me because of the combined brake system ( tested 2x in real-life situation )
/ I know the exact solution would be a go for a test ride. But the owners will not let me ( a stranger) take their bike to a test ride just to figure out, is it good for me or not /
