For us, the 800 GS is not a small GS, but a GS for non-BMW fans. So in principle it combines the virtues of the 1200 without its quirks, as newcomers would say.

With its DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission), the NC750X is the most coherent model in the NC range. With its windshield, long suspension travel and the resulting increase in comfort, it is also suitable for longer distances and even travelling. After all, why shouldn't beginners also be able to enjoy comfortable yet uncomplicated travel? Above all, the comparatively low centre of gravity takes away the fear of the visually much larger and more bulky NC750X, even for inexperienced riders. The engine is not too sporty, but the DCT, which changes gears extremely precisely and easily at the touch of a button or even fully automatically, quickly makes you forget that. The helmet compartment under the dummy tank is particularly ingenious.
