I have no problem filtering at a slow speed on my crossrunner

LBS I have the same aversion to owning any bike that can't ride 'slow' I test rode 14 bikes before i got the NC and have to say that although they were all bar one absolutely amazing machines the majority of them failed on the slow riding, The only ones that could do it were all the Triumphs (maybe its a 3 cylinder thing) and the NC

The more I follow this thread about the slowness (or supposed slowness) of the NC, the more I'm convinced I bought the right bike. I'm just a slow and cautious kind of guy. You tend to get that way at 64. I remember, and shudder, at the few times I dabbled with speed (whether on a bike or in a car) in my youth. I look back and say, I'm fortunate to still be here. The other day I was riding on a curvy stretch of road, just taking my time. I met a rider coming around a turn at great speed. I admired his skill and ability and I imagine he was enjoying his ride. I was enjoying mine too, so both of us were happy.

Totally agree Danrev, I am not yet 64 but somehow I am always ahead of my peer group when safety is concerned. I will probably get there, while some others may not.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions here and it just so happens that you and I share the same one.
Old age and narrow-mindedness also cause some people to misread or misinterpret written opinions. They form their interpretations without re-reading the texts properly. Buzz off, I tell MYSELF.
My biking buddies include all sorts of bikes and most of them are jolly good fellows. Most of them do take their racing to the tracks. Many of them also own multiple bikes (1 of them have 2 Panigales, one for road, one for track). Need for speed? Do it responsibly. On the track. Your life may be over or worthless, but not the one of a 5-yr old crossing the street.
0-60 in a hurry? Where's the fire?
Ride safe all.
To bad that Honda didn't go with hydraulic lifter's on the NC700X
What has that got to do with it?
but then the engine is based partially on the fit, which requires valve adjustments, and then there is the additional costs.
