Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda NC750X DCT 2021

It is all too easy to label the NC750X as an emotionless, boring everyday machine. But while it is indeed an excellent, economical and, thanks to the extra storage space, extremely practical bike for the daily ride to work, it can also make your heart beat faster. The low centre of gravity gives it top handling and in sport mode you can take advantage of it. Contrary to expectations, the NC750X is a joy to ride, even when cornering. Even the sound at sporty speeds is impressive and sounds like a much bigger motorbike. The DCT suits the NC750X perfectly and is an asset in all riding situations. If you can get by with 59 hp and are looking for a motorbike for all occasions, the NC is the perfect choice.

Only the suspension strut is not quite up to scratch - but there still needs to be room for improvement somewhere.
