I owned an NT700 between 2010 and 2015. It was a great bike for what it was (and underrated). It was my first "touring" bike and an upgrade from my first street legal bike - TU250x. It was an relative affordable way to get into motorcycling touring. As a previous NT700 owner and reading...

Bike has been sold. Thanks

Sale Pending.

This spot on the left pannier is only visible from certain angles and again was from the drybag strapped to the pillion: first shot is what it looks like from most angles, second was the angle that it is most visible (I had to roll the bike into the sun just to get it to show up on camera)

The Givi raw aluminum top case where the drybag rubbed against it: (The Raw aluminum is simply not as nice as the painted Bumot panniers, although it has a full size key)

Newly discovered scuff on side of right Pannier:

Yep. The new tire I had put on at MadBros seemed to hold air and got me home. I didn't ride much after the trip because of the weather. Then Covid hit and I didn't ride nearly as much in 2020. I had it in the back of my mind I should see about repairing it, but it seemed fine and there were...

Thanks Again Eric. I think they were the only ones who had one in stock. I had it shipped to my house and verified it was the correct part. It arrived and looked good so I shipped it to Woody's. I am happy that I will be able to ride the bike again soon. Oldrider, I would have gone with...

When I got back into riding in 2010, I picked up left over 2009 TU250x. I just bought to use as a commuter and running around town. It turned out to be so much better than that. I kept finding myself taking it longish rides on 2 lane county roads. It had a real sweet spot between 55-65...
