Very nice. I especially like the belt drive. No need for lubricating the chain, and minimal belt adjusting. Are you getting acclimatized to the big increase in horsepower? How about fuel mileage, how does it do?Pismocycleguy its a Yamaha vstar 950 I'm loving it.low and sleek,a lot of power.it has the beach handle bars that come back to me,back support seat, self cancel turn signals.I have 400 miles on it already.
I doubt he will notice an increase in power, due to there is not an increase of HP. The Yamaha Vstar 950 has a listed 50 HP (dyno around 47hp) and weighs 615 lb Wet, without accessories. The vstar's power to weight ratio is bad compared to the NC700.Very nice. I especially like the belt drive. No need for lubricating the chain, and minimal belt adjusting.

The only drawback I can see is the increased weight. But it probably provides a smooth ride.
But you can probably flat foot this bike!
Enjoy
Finally installed a Pyramid Fenda Extenda and a pair of Triumph shock boots on my NC today! This forum and a service manual gave me the confidence to tackle the job. Thanks everyone!
How about the torque to weight ratio? I'm sure that exceeds the NC700! That big displacement V-Twin must be putting out the power that matters!I doubt he will notice an increase in power, due to there is not an increase of HP.

It's probably like my VW diesel powered vehicle, low in the HP but super high in torque. No need to shift, just push on the accelerator.
I did nothing but wait for replacement front fender, windscreen, side cowl, mirror, bar end, slider and front yand rear brake levers needed so I can get my bike back on the road. Stuck riding the CB1100. Could be worse.
We'll need photographic evidence.
Isn't an open face helmet "GREAT!" You can really commune with nature, at least the BUGS!Must have been fun to clean off.

I was going to suggest using Ride-on until I got to this line. There are some things even it won't do. Glad the plug got you home. What type do you use?The Ride-on was able to plug it as long as I wasn't going. Guessing the flexing was too much for it and there wasn't anything stuck in the tire so it was blowing through the slice. Plugged it and road on home without further problems.
