What kind of earplug do you guys wear? I'm thinking of having ones made to fit, preferably with audio capabilities. Cheers, Bob

...and I agree with you. Looking forward to test riding the DCT NC. Cheers, Bob

You're right, I don't care much for the manual NC with a small screen. That's not to say I won't like the NC with DCT gearbox as I know through riding the Integra that chances are I will love it, but as I mentioned in my first post I will need to install a larger screen. I ride with a helmet...

Hello all, I test rode the NC750x manual on Wednesday last and if I'm being honest I wasn't impressed. Let me explain where I'm coming from :rolleyes: I ride a Honda SH300i Maxi Scoot with a windshield the size of a Barn Door on steroids. The wind protection on the 750x is laughable in...

I have put 26000 miles on my Honda SH300i without going anywhere near the valves. My scoot pulls like a train. I have saved many £'s in servicing, by doing all the servicing myself, but have thought the valves deserve some love. The mechanic at the dealers can do it after I've part exchanged her...

Well, my friend, we did invent the English language, but if I'm being 100% honest, I didn't 'luck out' in my English exam! That's why half of the crap that I write is complete dribble... ;) Anyway, I'm hoping to test ride the manual version of the NC 750x next week + the 750 Integra soon...

The most common problem I'm having whilst riding in London is idiot pedestrians glued to their mobile (Cell phone for our US brethren) phones stepping out in front of me. Each and everyone of them receives a nice verbal scream of 'Look at the F$%king road, you F%^king useless bag of Sh$t!' I...

Can you expand on this for me? Cheers, Bob

There will come a time when the earth has been stripped of all her oil, coal and gas. When that day comes you watch all the marvellous innovations that come to the fore. The ones that have been held back because of greedy bastards who think nothing of future generations, but only for their short...

My local dealer reckons it will be September/October :mad: Cheers, Bob

Hello all, As Honda UK seem to be slow in fulfilling the needs of budding DCT converts I'm thinking of foregoing the ease of DCT for the manual version. A simple question: Is fuel economy the same for both models? Or does the manual burn more? I'm fed up waiting for the DCT, so as long as...

Superb! Thanks for sharing ;-) Cheers, Bob

A question for the mechanically minded: How easy is it to fit a centre stand? I will fit one when I finally get round to actually buying a 750x :rolleyes: but need to know if rocket science is involved! Cheers, Bob

Thanks for the warm welcomes! I will post pictures of my 750x as soon as I lay my sweaty hands on her. Cheers, Bob

Hello fellow forumites, My name is (you guessed it!) Bob :p I have been riding bikes for 17 years without a break and in all weathers. Basically, If I can keep the bike upright I'm riding it :) I'm not a speed demon, I'm a freedom demon. I love being out in the elements and I love the fact...
