Adios NC700X

[2brnut2b]

I bought a new Aprilia Caponord 1200 Rally today and gived the NC in exchange...They gived me a good price for the NC and there was also a deal on the Capo as it is a 2016 demo bike. I'm removing all the farkles I add on the Nc and will sell in a couple of weeks when I have time. I will possibly list it here in the marketplace section...
I want to thank admins and mods who are doing a great job ans also thank all members for sharing their knowledge ans making a bit less dumb

Yes, a very good motorcycle by all accounts. A friend is looking closely at purchasing. I am afraid that fuel consumption will be about half the NC's figures though. Best of luck with it.

 

[2brnut2b]

Thanks you for your words guys !

@ sumo: Yes I still have many of them...I will probably contact admin to ship them to him so he can sell/give it to the other members
@ Griff: I've read all I found on the internet about the bike before making my decision and yes we are really really far from the NC fuel consomption

wow, that is one nice bike. congrats. Aprillas were not even on my radar. Their 750's look awesome too.

I took delivery of the Caponord Rally yesterday...Just Wow...Awesome bike, I liked the Honda NC a lot but it is a completely different bike.
The power, the suspension, the way it sticks on the road...the sound...the ride from the dealer to my place was 175 km and it was a magic carpet ride fealing...
The only downside is that you have too watch for the cops all the time ...I feel like I am 25 years younger !

Good luck with your new bike and keep your eyes peeled.

I rode over 500km around town this week: Definitively not a urban bike...more kind of a long distance and fast lane bike.

This is why I sold my Varadero. Too top heavy for urban commuting and the engine just didn't like the city stop-and-go traffic. It ended up sitting in the garage most days waiting for nice weather which not always happened on weekends. Last year of ownership I rode only 5000 km and that was when I decided that it needed new owner who will appreciate and use its long distance capabilities more, and that I need something more versatile. Now my Integra is only two months old and it already has 5000 km on the clock I don't even let it cool down long enough

Don't get me wrong on this Dreamer, The Caponord is exactly the kind of bike I wanted. During the past winter, I was looking for a big touring bike like a Concours 14, FJR 1300 or a ST 1200. But on these bikes, you can say goodbye to the gravel roads while the Caponord can ride on them pretty easily. For the city and more off road rides, I still have the little NX250.

This said, all the guys who own a NC and owned other bikes before know the NC is the perfect do-it-all bike !
