Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda SH125i 2012

Honda's yellow steed also belongs to the group of motorbikes, but is not perceived as such. For those who can accept this exclusion, the future is bright, maintenance costs are low, and progress is swift, both in the city and in the countryside.

Enough storage space

weather-resistant

cheap purchase and maintenance price

good workmanship

Not perceived as a "real" motorbike

colour takes getting used to

Honda NC750X 2020

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.
