Honda NC750X 2018

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.

While the many different motorbike genres are becoming increasingly blurred and overlapping, the Ducati Scrambler Icon is indeed the uncomplicated and robust scrambler promised in its name. The wide handlebars make for unbelievably easy handling, so it's easy to forgive the fact that the comfort-oriented chassis has no adjustable fork, while the shock absorber can at least be adjusted in rebound and spring preload. You also forgive the fact that the front single disc needs quite a bit of manual force; after all, it is very commendable that a cornering ABS is fitted as standard. The rest of the equipment, however, is again in keeping with the minimalist style, which is perhaps even a little exaggerated in the case of the (outdated) LCD instruments. All in all, however, the Scrambler Icon convinces above all with its successful appearance, which conveys what it's all about even when stationary: lifestyle instead of riding style!
