As I sit here painfully waiting for some of the dealers I've been in contact with to get back to me (I'm still looking at a '12 NC DCT and a 12 or 13 V-Strom) so I can find out who I can throw my cash at... I got to thinking:
I know the NC700X (DCT) is not an off-road bike. I know it's got the adventure styling, but it probably wouldn't compete with the V Strom or the BMWs if we were to try to go seriously off road.
Luckily I am going to be 2 up most of the time anyway, and thus wouldn't be trying anything harder anyway.
So... do you guys take your NCs "off road"... meaning dirt roads, maybe some bumps/gravel.. how do you like them, honestly? I'm sure this has been asked before, but since we're all forum browsing I figured I would give folks a chance to talk about it.
Keep in mind I've newbish. Not mechanically inclined at all.. so fixing the bike out in the woods if something goes wrong is probably not going to happen. Maybe if I have service I can google it. haha.
