Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda NC750X 2015

Honda NC750X 2015

The NC750X actually has only one weakness: its strength. With 55 hp, the all-purpose motorbike is moderately powered, but Honda's product range is so broad and diverse that the NC group was deliberately positioned in this area. The NC750X makes up for a lot in torque, and those who like it sportier can upgrade to a Crossrunner or Crosstourer. The New Concept shines in its second generation with an even higher quality feel, better equipment, a taut fork and a total of 5 riding modes. The 3-stage sport mode makes it practically unnecessary to intervene in the shifting process yourself.

Like the Kawasaki Versys, the small V-Strom is getting on a bit. The 1000 is so well done and easy to ride that you should consider taking the "big one" right away. In terms of versatility, however, the 650 is in no way inferior to the big V-Strom, and at a much lower price. But we wouldn't take it to the racetrack any more. And of course it has to cope with a heavy load more than a motorbike with 100+ hp.
