....but not a motorcycle newb. New to NC ownership, and this forum. But have been riding since 1970. Many bikes. Some big and some fast. Now I'm more content with smaller rigs. Don't need the big HP.
But to be honest- and I'm looking for feedback/reaction here- I'm taking a while to build a relationship with my 2012 NC700x.
I studied it for some time before buying and liked the design brief. The low center of gravity, the fuel efficiency, the fact that I could probably pretty much do all my own maintenance, e.g. screw/locknut type valves.
So.....what's the relationship block?
Well, the ride. It's very good in terms of comfort. It's also fun to ride. But a bit lumpy. (getting used to that). But thrilling? Uh,.....That wouldn't be a verb I would use.
A good question the reader may be asking themselves, and directed toward myself, might be....'so what did you expect?'
Fair question.
And that leads me to a place of 'just be satisfied with good comfort, fun ride, Honda reliability, a design that allows me to do maintenance,' and leave it at that.
And then maybe find that "thrilling" piece somewhere else.
Best to all and thanks for 'listening.'
