Thanks for the good wishes. Yup, it's a monster all right. There's a big learning curve, but I have Jerry "Motorman" Pallidino to guide me.

Don't worry Beemer....as me Mam used to say, "Never mind, it's the drink talking!"

Thats great! But I need to find out for myself.

Well Guys, I have traded in my NC700 for a Suzuki Boulevard C90T B.O.S.S. I hated to give up the NC, but for one thing, I didn't have any more room in my garage, and secondly, I couldn't afford to keep them both. But I didn't give up the NC because I didn't love it. I gave it up because I...

I lived in France and do speak French. It's a funny video, but not exactly complimentary. It's saying, essentially that the bike is terrific in the city, but when pitted against a sport bike, on the track or in an off road situation, the NC falls short and cannot keep up. Which is true, but...

Thanks so much for putting up these photos. I really liked them. I look at that CTX seat and it looks so damned comfortable. I do have my eye on the CB1100 coming out next month. Thanks again.

Olympia Motorsports is my brand. Love it.

Uh........

I can tell you this, I'm not going to sell my NC because I believe it will end up being a classic. Especially the first model year.

Ducati Diavel - sexiest bike I've ever seen.

That cracked me up!!! Wishing you were better, Beemer. I'm sorry to hear about the recent setback.

Don't know which part of N. Cal you're in, but you may want to call Moto Cafe in Sunnyvale. I was there today and saw 1 on display, but can't tell you if it was DTC. Their # is (408) 739-6500.

I guess I'm just gullible. :(

How did it feel sitting on it VS. an NC? Specifically regarding seat height and handlebar feel?
