Sounds like you've been at the show a long time, just changing seats. Welcome to the extreme seats.

Alfred, Welcome to the Forum and nice selection of bikes. I went to mountain phase of the Army Ranger School in Dahlonega, GA. I remember the hills all to well. I would have much rather ridden them. You have some beautiful country there to do dirt riding. Gald you enjoy the NC.

SergeantChuck, , , the Ranger School gate is 20 miles from my driveway & is often the first Gravel of the day!! I can do 150 miles from my house & back with about 100 miles of gravel!! We run into lots of Trainees on those rides!! Every time we see them we stop & Thank them, , , if THEY have time!! Most the time they think it's cool that a couple of old Guys are riding dirt bikes in the hills!!

That's cool. As a matter of fact I remember seeing people on bikes or four wheelers as I stumbled through the woods. When I imagine riding in that type of environment I think for my time there. It would be an awesome place to live.

HI all,
I'm new here. I currently have ST1300, bought it new in 08 and I have about 73k on it. sadly I haven't done any touring since 09, only riding around home and to/from work since then. work was nice enough to give me a take home car, so that cut my riding down even more. I'm thinking about downsizing to the NC. just curious, how is the NC for dirt riding? when I ride I seem to end up on dirt roads...a lot ;o) .... ST can do them, but it usually comes with a big pucker factor... is it better to put dirt tires on it? or just keep the stock tires on it? been doing a lot of reading here, and it looks like it will handle the wife too when she wants to go for a ride, together we only weigh about 280lbs

As for tires see: http://nc700-forum.com/forum/tire-tech-talk/4984-tires-fit-nc700.html
If your wife will be riding often look at Russell Day Long.

I can only speak from my experience. I end up on a lot of back roads (dirt) in Arkansas. The stock tires do not work well with loose gravel/rock, mud, or wet grass. I have been lucky so far and not dumped the bike but I've came close several times. Compact dirt trails are not bad. If you think you'll be on a lot of dirt I would seriously think about a different set of tires.
Welcome Dan! I put a lot of miles on my NCX on gravel / dirt roads exploring my old stomping grounds. It will beat the ST any day of the week on these roads. I have done the same type of roads on my old GL1200, but its a lot more fun on the NCX. I will admit that it would be easier with off road tires, but since I travel too many commuting miles on pavement I just suck it up with street tires.
The low center of gravity with the NCX makes it a walk in the park. If you were in my neck of the woods, I would let you try my bike to see if it would work for you.
This bike is a keeper for me..

Hi there from Lisbon!
I'm a new owner of a (beautiful) white Honda NC700X DCT.
I bought it in August 2013, and in November I had an accident! (not my fault!!)
I also attend a NC700 portuguese forum so I can learn some things about our bike.
Now I'm also here, so I can also learn from your experience!
Cheers to all!

Welcome RLA. As most of us don't know the Portuguese language be sure to share some of the great ideas that come from the other forum.
