    Anyone seen one of the Can-Am spyder Trikes?

    On my travels accross the tubes, I found this: Spyder 2013 ST-S Three-Wheeled Motorcycle | Can-Am Roadster Can-Am Spyder Trike. This specific version - the ST - looks like it's a perfect commuter, but with 100hp and 80 ft/lb of torque. Not sure I would ever buy one myself, but I've...

    NC-X = Not allowed to buy a BMW

    This happened to me about 1/2 hour ago. I am still trying to work out if it's funny or annoying. Backstory: In about 6 months I will be leaving the UK and going to live in the USA for three years. My current feeling is that I don't think I am going to road-ride/commute on a bike in the US due...

    Need advice..."what to watch out for on a second hand NC700"?

    I have a friend looking for a 2nd hand nc700, as far as I know he's thinking about the NC700S, and he's asked me if there are common faults and issues to be aware of. I don't really know enough about the issues with these bikes to know how to answer. I've told him about the chain recall if...

    The true cost of getting a first bike.

    I was talking to a friend today about how he wanted to start learning to ride. We sat down and worked out how much it will cost him to getup and running with an nc700x. I was actually pretty shocked By the costs. Remember that I'm a Brit, so costs are a bit different over here, and also...

    Best tyre for wet commuting?

    Hi all. Just looking for opinions on your thoughts for the best tyre for commuting in wet weather and sloppy roads. These tyres won't be raced or hammered and will only be on for a few months, so lifespan and stuff like ability to grip in a high speed corner don't matter. Thanks Steve

    Can I *electrically* disable Combined-ABS brakes?

    Hello all. About 95% of the time I will be riding my NC700 on the road. Given that in a few months I move to the US, and have seen the crazies who drive over there, I am whole heartedly in favour of as many gadgets and fangles as I can get that can keep me safe, and the combined ABS function...

    Cost of gearbox/clutch service for DCT?

    Hi, The DCT has a very clever gearbox and two clutches in it. I was wondering if anyone has got to a point where it's been either repaired or serviced yet, and if you could give an idea of costs compared to a regular setup? Thanks Steve

    Hi, I'm in the middle of buying shiny bits for my 700x before it is delivered. One of the things I am looking for is an uprated alternator. As far as I can work out ( from a couple of great threads on this forum ) the alternator is a 420w unit. Looking at the perhipherals that I want to...

    reccommended suspension upgrades?

    Hi all. I am currently riding a Triumph Tiger 800xc, and will soon be swapping it for an NC700x - it's on order, just waiting for it's arrival. Most of the time will be spent commuting, but work will be going into the bike for road treks and a little off-roading. I have been out for a test...
