The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I'm busy negotiating with a private seller to part with his bike for R70000 ($7000). He has it advertised for R79000. Comes with fitted side and top box as well as a touring screen.

I'm not 100% sure I want/need it though, as i'll have to sell the PCX to afford it:

Need
-sometimes the PCX just doesn't handle the strong side gusting wind where I commute

Want
-i'll be able to do longer tours on the NC750

The major downside is the worse fuel economy

The fuel economy is still pretty good, you should be able to get 75mpg without even trying.
I had an NC750S for over a week recently and its a significant improvement over the 700 engine.
Personally I would go for the S with manual gearchange, that DCT will be a real bugger if it starts playing up.
The NC750S is a definite contender for my next steed....

Steed, really?

Donkey?

Damn fine motorcycle.
Possibly the best on sale right now.

Yes, the fuel economy isn't bad, but still not as good as the PCX and with the ability to do longer rides, I probably will, which pushes the expenses up further

Depends on your perspective

You can keep it, I don't want it

Right now I don't want it either, but I might have one in the future.

Too bad the Integra turned out so much more expensive that it flopped out of existence.

Handa's DCT transmission is getting excellent reviews. Nothing like it. I'm seriously looking at the Honda CXT700N DCT.

To bad the fairing adds so much to the cost.

I don't like the faired model. Kinda funny looking to me. But, that's me. Some people really like it.

The only DCT transmission we get in Canada is the NM4. Some brain surgeon at Honda Canada does not like larger scooters or DCT transmissions on bikes.

Honda says DCT sales are really taking off.

Have a look on the NC forums, a fair few tales of problems on DCT boxes.
Given how complex the mechanism is I can't see how DCT could ever be as reliable as a standard gearbox.

I'm meeting the guy tomorrow. Holding thumbs for a good bargain

Good Luck on Your Deal....

Woohoo, I'm now the proud owner of a red NC750x DCT with Kappa panniers and top box. R65000

Congrats - you will have a blast on that. Would get one myself but they don't bring them into Canada. Look forward to your riding reports.

@wei2go - That is awesome! I'm still looking at the CTX700N DCT. You should post some pics.

Where's the.....Pics! Pics! Pics??
Must see pics wei2go!
Congrats!
