I want to thank everyone here for sharing their knowledge about the NCxs. There may be one in my future.
You can't find DCT anywhere near my neighborhood and you have to travel a couple hundred miles to find any kind of NCx because the neighborhood Honda shop is not getting new bikes in. You have to go to the high volume super outlets.
So I decided to buy from a local Mom & Pop shop with a great reputation & mechanic and go with the 650cc Mark III Royal Enfield Interceptor. It was $6733.00 out the door, no shipping charge and taxes and plates included. I met one of the owners of GoMoto, at the last Vintage Bike show at the State Fair Grounds in 2019 and saw the first RE 650cc they had in their shop at the Fair Grounds. So they have always been in my mind. The Mechanic, Marty has a great reputation. He put crash bars and a carrier without charging labor and gave me a discount on the accessories. I doubt that happens at a big box dealer.
They just got their first batch in and they sold within a week before they could advertise them. I luckily got the last one. They will get more in next week. I am calling him "Daruma" and he joins his stablemates ('83 GL650 "Fafnir" & '82 GL500 "Littlewing.") These are getting good MPG in the 70s on the highway. 50s in the city.
