This has probably been done before. Just wondering what else everyone here would consider riding other than the NC700X if you were going out to buy a new bike today. Why? I assume most people here ride the NC, but if you have another bike you enjoy more what is it and why?

Sorry if this has been covered here before. I did search the forums but my specific questions weren't asked exactly. The post is long, but if you're short on time read the last paragraph. Two items I am wondering about are boots and riding pants. I work in an office and basically use my bike...

Not sure if this is the correct forum or not, but I am curious if anyone (especially those in northern parts of the country) leaves their bike outside during the winter months (with a cover)? My original plan when I got it was to build a little shed to store her in once the first snow hit the...

So I just had my 32nd birthday a couple weeks ago and my awesome GF bought me a Contour+2 camera. I'm excited as I haven't done anything for my bike since I got it a couple of months ago, and my first "mod", I think, is going to be mounting the waterproof case somewhere on the front of the bike...

I have only been on my NC for about a month or so, but my last bike (which I last rode a few years ago) was a Honda Shadow. I would have assumed that the Shadow would have been worse on the highway than the NC (based on the fact that the NC at least has a windscreen). It has been a while...

First of all.. what is this called? I've tried googling my problem but it seems every variation of this term returns some aftermarket security device. I'm talking about when you push the key in and turn it to the LEFT, thus locking the wheel(?) Mine seems to work sometimes, and sometimes...

I was just reading some more of the posts and it seems there are a lot of mechanically inclined people (maybe not necessarily merchanics, but people who can understand a problem with their bike when they see it and fix it themselves), but maybe there are bunch out there like me that know nothing...

So... I found two products which are pretty sweet. Wondering if anyone can think of one that combines both? Stash Box lockable license plate storage box by Twisted Throttle - TwistedThrottle.com Helmet Guardian, Black - TwistedThrottle.com This would be pretty awesome for various...

I'm looking to mount a small cam on the side of my helmet to shoot some videos. I've read various reviews and wonder what you guys use? Do you ever find the audio out of these usable during above-traffic speeds (say, 30 MPH+)? Favorite cameras? Editing software?

Earlier today I ran into my first low gas situation and noticed the E bar was flashing red/black. I got gas and when I got home, I noticed tht when I shut off the bike the red bar still shows even though when the bike is on its solid black (since I have a full tank). Anyone seen this? Can I...

So.. had my bike for a couple of days. Have only done about 90 miles on it, but something I hadn't noticed in my test drives but I'm starting to notice now is that it seems like the seating position is causing me a little hip pain. Like my leg is too long for where they have the foot pegs...

Thanks everyone here (and also on the Stromtrooper forum, if you go back and forth) for giving me some great feedback previously. I also had a chance to read a lot of the posts on here talking about your own bikes. I ended up making the call and I'm getting my own NC tomorrow night! It's a...

As I sit here painfully waiting for some of the dealers I've been in contact with to get back to me (I'm still looking at a '12 NC DCT and a 12 or 13 V-Strom) so I can find out who I can throw my cash at... I got to thinking: I know the NC700X (DCT) is not an off-road bike. I know it's got...

I realize there are similar threads, but I'm hoping this one is going to help others, too. the difference is the 2013s are out and the price I'm getting a quote for is for an in-stock 2012. The price I'm quoted for my **2012** NC 700X DCT is $9,079 which includes the bike, center stand, bike...

I am hoping you guys can give me some feedback on your experiences because I'm currently in the market for a bike and these are the two I have sort of settled on. I have not tried the VStrom or the Versys, but they were in the running, too (I just decided I didn't like the styling as much)...
