Does anyone ride an NC700X on dirt roads?
The rough, wash-boarded, torn-up 'road' a little ways from my house is certainly passable on the NCX as it sits. It's much, much nicer than the CBR (I turned around on that bike after a matter of yards), and I don't feel like it's going to wash out from under me. Square-edged bumps and holes are harsh, but I can't say I expected much different. It's not as good as a well-prepped hare scrambles bike, but the ride across that road is certainly better than in my Subaru.
I bet Beemerphile's Race Tech and Ohlins setup is pretty nice!
This bike will handle graded dirt roads just the same as any other road bike will . As long as that is taken into account, then there should not be any problems with it.
