    Honda NC750X

    Being from Boston it is a real shocker how much salt they use on the roads here. If a pound will do they use 5. Chance of snow in 3 days use brine tonight. How they get away with it environmentally with Lake Michigan is a mystery. Skip the salt let a few people put their car in the ditch and...

    Honda NC750X

    Fortunately I have sold my GasGas SM700 Supermoto because I found a '21 NC750X. Hope to go fetch it next week. The sale of the GasGas is just about covering the NC and the FJR that unexpectedly found it's way into my shop. So more NC750X updates should be coming in about 10 days! Hard to...

    FJR 1300

    Yeah that could be a problem. I was really after a '21 or '22 NC750X when the FJR came along. Of course life being what it is the minute I pulled the trigger on the FJR along came an NC so I put a deposit on that. Hope to fetch it in a couple of weeks. In the meantime my GasGas SM700 sold on...

    FJR 1300

    You guys are a bad influence on me. 890 isn't going anywhere but the FJR sort of fell in my lap and it was a '14 same as the one I had so seemed silly not to.

    Honda NC750X

    Was adding up my mileage since the first of the year. Keep in mind it is winter even if it's been a mild one and I'm in Wisconsin. Just under 1700 miles which is actually down for me. Here's the cool part. Of my total miles, 722 of them were on the NC and it was done in just 2 weeks too...

    1290 SAS first impressions

    I liked it more when we talked about motorcycles:) Or wait.... maybe there is some correlation between 1290 SASs and Uranus, big wieners, and a Toto Bidet?

    That's great so what did you think? Of course they still have no plans to bring it here. WI is an abbreviation for Wisconsin which is in the USA which does not get the NT1100!

    Honda NC750X

    Actually if I'm going to own one it would be a '21 or '22 with 6 speed. Those have the newer frame and dash plus 1/2" shorter suspension/seat height. In '23 they discontinued the 6 speed and only offer the DCT. If I have the disposable cash or a bike I'm willing to sell when I come across one...

    Honda NC750X

    This is nuts! Been a week since I had to give the NC750X back. I have the 890 Adventure sitting in the shop that is probably one of my all time favorite bikes yet I'm jonesing to ride the NC? I guess I really liked that bike!

    Never seen one of these before HONDA CTX1300

    I think it was a 1 year only bike for the US (2014)

    FJR 1300

    Scott's is the real deal. Very cool bike. But it's not exactly stock either:rolleyes:

    FJR 1300

    I'm not sure if it's a function of the shaft drive, the weight, or the chassis geometry but I found that if you stay on the throttle and trail brake a little with the rear brake the bike handles great. Seems to keep the front end light(er). Worked for me anyway and I got to lovin the FJR in...

    FJR 1300

    I've been fighting off the temptation to pick up another FJR all winter. My sister still lives in Massachusetts and I need something to run out and visit her with. Can't think of another bike I would prefer more for that ride.

    Honda Gold Wing - the return of shaft drive

    Glad you're enjoying it. Rode an Indian Challenger and of all the big busses I like that the best. Not that I'm buying anything that weighs that much right now.
