I have no issues with clearance on my with the Givi 22L cases and the mileage is unchanged. I average 60 mpg in the city and I ride a little more aggressive on the throttle then most........You can see pics of mine in the for sale section if you like to show you clearance with case on it.

It basically a faired cruiser for someone who wants something a bit different then your standard cruiser fare. I got no problem with that although not really my cup of tea. Surprised they didn't put a frunk on this one as well. The motor is canted the same so you would think they could have done...

Nice! How did the NC hold up against the "real adv bikes" lol

Rick, if you are not grooving on the NC and really want the CTX, I would say go for it. Life to short to ride something you don't care for. As for the NM4 that might be one of the ugliest motorcycles ever made although I guess everyone has their own taste.

Out of curiosity if you don't mind, what does that seat fetch for $$$$$. Looks nice. Thanks

Giant Loop

Now that is awesome!

A big factor is how you ride. I have never gotten more then 10K miles out of a front tire and no more then 9K out of rear tire. I average about 7K on back and 8K on front depending on tire brand. The second factor would be the surfaces you are riding on. Not sure how you would get 16K out a...

Yep, that there is a smoking deal for someone!

I have a friend as well that has a Yamaha FZ7 and that thing is tiny. It is very compact for sure. The fit and finish is excellent however for the price point. I have not had the opportunity to ride it yet, but once I do I will report back.

Check out the Seat Concepts seat. This is the second motorcycle I have put one on and for the money they cannot be beat in my mind.

Just for reference as well I paid $6565 OTD including TTL + fees. Here in Arizona you would be hard pressed for someone to sell you the bike for what trade in value is worth since we get to take the tax off the difference of the new bike.

Yeah that stinks. Can they refresh the dash to get this info? That was my understanding because the 2014's did not originally have the gear indicator either was what I was told by dealer anyway. Anyway you should be pretty safe at about 210 miles as I flog mine 95% of the time and still average...

A couple thoughts....as far as there not being many NC700's for sale, I would guess that is because quite a few folks buy them and are hanging on to them. The NC got a bad rap from many of the moto-journalists which helped to kill sales I would guess but once you actually ride one and see that...

Oil change is easy peasy and you can use the same washer for your first change as well, just flip it over. You can get two changes per washer that way if you like to save money anyway. Jealous of your roads there..........
