Hi all. Had my NC750x for about 14 months now and I love it.. I love the look, love the frunk and love chucking it into corners. I commute on it, ride twisties all summer long and has a lot of fun in the Peak District on it last year
I’m a tall rider, 6ft 5 so the upright position is good for me.. the seat is comfy and not bad for pillion
I didn’t know how I would really ride when I got it as it was first bike.. but it seems I like riding it quick at the limits.. consequently I’m hitting the limiter in the lower gears too often and also the brakes are honestly not great when pushing it
I have test rode a few bikes over the last couple of weeks.. Ninja 1000sx - really like it. Gsx1000 Gt - bit scary if honest, and today a bmw s1000xr - strangely disappointing!
I am due to test ride a Versys 1000 next week
Can’t help but think that if there was a way of quite seriously upping the power on the Honda and putting on much better brakes it would be my perfect bike..
I know plenty will say the bike is not designed for that, and you’re right it’s not.. but as I say I like the physical features of the bike
So what could be done realistically.. turbo? Different engine? Larger twin discs and twin front callipers?
Can see myself getting a ninja 1000sx but it would be cool to keep the Honda and seriously play about with it as a project bike if I can
