Just picked up an NC700X, Charleston SC

[tdc_erock]

Saturday I rescued a 2013 NC700X - it's been down, blinker lens is broken, exhaust is dinged, fender and bar end and brake lever are scratched, it's been stored under a cover outside recently so it's covered in pollen, it's dirty, it needs tires.

I drove two hours to check it out and made an offer and now it is mine!

Congrats on your new bike. I am sure you will enjoy it. I just bought mine and I like it so far. Have fun putting it back together and making it your own.

congratulations. Depending on how bad the tires are, I'd start there. I've got an aftermarket can on mine, if you want to go that route you can get a cheap one on amazon or ebay. Probably get a cheap stock one from someone who is replacing. there are some nicer ones, plenty of advice here and threads on exhausts [and tires, lots and lots|

 

[tdc_erock]

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I've decided on the Shinko 705 for starters. I'll have to do some research on the exhausts - I don't like them loud. I may try to find a cheap stock one from someone who is going aftermarket.

Come on, man! Enough with the suspense! How much and how many miles??

 

[tdc_erock]

OK OK... $2500. 12k miles.

Saturday I rescued a 2012 NC700X . . .

Kinda strange because the 2012 was only available in silver (grey). But then, I see your profile says 2013.

But either way, welcome and enjoy your ride!

 

[tdc_erock]

Oops! Typo. Fixed now, thanks!

I thought $2500 for a 2012 with cosmetic damage was a good deal, even better a 2013! This might be about the best deal ever!

Well, a broken blinker lens could fail inspection in some states, but that's hardly a tough fix nor a deal breaker. Good price, for sure!

Howdy from Texas!

For $2500, you didn't rescue that bike. You stole it.

 

[tdc_erock]

If I go aftermarket for the exhaust I'd like one that is on the quieter end of the spectrum. I can't seem to find any comparison threads regarding DB levels... I'll likely stick with stock if I can't find a good not-too-loud aftermarket option.

Assuming it is a clean title and hasn't been washed that is a sweet deal...Welcome to the club!

Congratulations on the new-to-you bike and welcome to the forum from Vermont. You got quite a deal on that bike. !RED! is best.

I bought this one. the painted fax carbon fiber on the tip is kind of cheezy, but it was cheap. they make one that is all stainless, but more $. I actually think it goes well with the silver, prob fine with the red. It has a removable baffle and a baffle plug, so it can go from very quiet to loud, 3 levels. I have the baffle in but the plug out, medium. I made a sound sample if I can figure how to post it from my phone.

I'll call it a rescue until it's on the road and we'll see what I have into it. It is still two hours away in my brother's garage until I have time to deal with it! Can't wait to get started!
