Welcome from Bakersfield! PM me if you ever want to meetup for breakfast.

I think $8300 otd is a pretty solid number. And your insurance and tax estimates are valid also. Great advice on the Givis. I was very fortunate to get a 2014 with only 800 miles on it for $7000. The seller simply decided to get something with a clutch. Win win. I ride with guys that have HD's...

Plus one DirtFlier. I'm with you as I wanted something different and even unusual. I love all types of motorcycles and am convinced that you can order one that comes equipped with a microwave oven now days, if that's what one wants. What I have learned is that most reviews compare the NC with...

Had my mind set on the NC700x dct initially simply because of the technology and the Honda quality performance ( I've had two Honda Accords). My enthusiasm deflated somewhat when, for some reason, I understood the bike only ran in full auto mode. Then I read about Sport mode. I'm enthused again...

You were right, and I was more surprised than embarrased. Having gone over forty years since my last bike, I had never seen a water cooled engine much less one that had a screw in the radiator cap! Great safety feature! Also, while looking into it, I found that Japenese bikes (and cars) use a...

On really tight and unable to get off. What am I not doing right? Thanks in advance!

Be safe and fill us in with the details when you return. Sounds like an interesting ride!

Any suggestions for a good tool kit for the "Frunk" and something larger for the garage? Price not an issue with the exception of "diamond plated". Thanks in advance!

Because I am now an official owner of a 2014 Honda NC700X (red). It's everything (and more!) that I thought it would be! I feel like I stole it as I got it for $1500 less than a new one, and, it only has 800 miles on it. Owner (shout out to Jeremy!) simply wanted a MC with a clutch. I have to...

Thanks to all! Silverhound --- you da man!

What actually happens when one hits the rev limiter? I notice it's discussed here often, but, what actually occurs to the bike when you're riding? Thanks in advance!

Good deal? Very much so...easily a $1000 more otd in California. You could have told me you spent all those hours researching so I wouldn't have had to. And instead of arguing with your self you should have called me! Best of luck to you and enjoy the ride!

I, like many, focus on bikes that meet specific needs that may or may not necessarily include the "just fun" factor. I just completed the Honda "Learn to Ride" course and was assigned the biggest bike they had, a FRC (?) 250L dirt bike because of my height. I had a blast on that bike---easy to...

i realize that being an "exclusive" cager the last forty years has made me somewhat blinded me (unintentionally) to motorcycles on the open road. But, recognizing my renewed interest in riding again has significantly impacted my driving habits in the last couple of months. Before I get in my...

Thanks bduffy. I've been reviewing some videos on you tube that reveals the shifting characteristics differences between the D and S modes. Very interesting as the S mode appears to have a much wider span of mph before needing to shift. In the D mode it races through the gears very quickly ...

Just noticed it doesn't come with ABS. Any aftermarket abs? As a "re-entry" rider I prefer ABS. Anyone with the DCT/ABS model shift primarily in manual/"S" mode in order to get more of a gear changing effect but wants the ABS also? Thanks in advance!

Thanks OldJeff. I think you make a good point....riding it till it becomes second nature and then taking her on a short ride. Heck, she may not enjoy it regardless of the bike. I just asked her again if should would like to take the MSF with me and she declined. I like you're thinking!!

You know...I've researched out my ears, sat on the bikes others have recommended and yet I still come back to only wanting the NC700X. How long should I commit to riding solo before adding a passenger, regardless of what bike I get? Is there a smaller, entry level bike you would recommend for my...

Well, she's not interested in having her own, just wants to ride with me. Frustrating. I really wanted the bike to be able to do it all, even recognizing I need to ride alone for awhile before I even consider two up. Really wanted to stay with Honda and really wanted that particular power train...

Thanks. I thought about that. Maybe just get the 700x for me alone, or get one for her too!
