Hi all!
I took the plunge and traded in my Kawasaki Versys for a brand new NC750X, which I just drove out of the dealership a few hours ago...have only done 30km (about 19 UK miles) so far, basically riding her back home.
I did extensive research before deciding to go ahead because the Versys only had just over 4,000 km on it and it made little to no sense to trade a new bike so fast, but I could not bring myself to adapt to it, let alone enjoy it.
I read almost every thread on this forum in the process of deciding the NC was the bike that suited me (within my budget, obviously!), so a big thanks to everyone here for helping out.
On the way home I kept thinking that although they are so similarly styled bikes, they feel completely different, no doubt the engine being the biggest difference.
I was prepared for most of the other traits (eg. horn/indicators position) thanks to you guys, although I have to say the fact there is no engine break came as a complete surprise, as I thought this only happens with the DCT version.
I will take it easy during the run-in period but hopefully pretty soon I should be able to share some thoughts with others in a similar situation, thinking to change from the versys to the nc - I've seen quite a few here inquiring about it or actually having gone through with the switch..
Once again, many thanks to everyone on this forum for all the info!
Take care
