Just wanted to introduce myself real fast. I've been a lurker on here for a few months, but decided to register and finally be able to offer up any help I may or may not have on given issues.
Been riding for over a decade, have over 100000 miles under my belt on bikes ranging from Harley's, to Supermotos to Sportbikes to Dirtbikes, in activities ranging from commuting to trail riding to MX to road racing and track days.
After all that, I decided I needed a new commuter (to go 100 miles a day) and low and behold, the NC700x popped up! All in all I love this thing and am looking forward to putting nearly 25k miles a year on it, so we'll see how she lasts.
It's all stock except for some Acerbis hand guards and windscreen brackets that raise the stock screen up a few 3 inches or so. A Honda touring screen may be next, and a SEAT IS FOR SURE going to happen; Tired of the numb butt
.
As far as problems? None. My bike does that thrumming vibration thing at around 3k under load in 6th gear, but to me that's just the nature of a counter-balanced parallel twin. I've never had a twin that didn't vibrate a little bit under load. I commute at 65-70mph 50 miles each way, all freeway, and depending on wind (boy wind sure affects this thing!) I am getting between 57 and 70.8mpg (as my high). Average is right around 63.
Anyhow, just sayin' hi. Ride safe everyone!
