2021-on Honda NC750X Review | Most practical bike ever?

Brakes are adequate, no complaints Suspension not the highest quality and can be a bit firm and uncomfortable over poor road surfaces.

I like the engine; not very powerful for a 745cc unit but very relaxed and under-stressed, like a cruiser/custom bike engine. Suits my riding style. Happy at 70 or 80mph, but no point chasing the revs. Nice and torquey.

No issues here. All looks very well put together. Front mudguard too short so the engine gets plastered with crap during year round use. Other than that it all looks like typical Honda.

Only had the first service so far but all seems fine Only one disc on the front wheel so that’ll keep the costs down, as will the fact that it’s a low stressed engine that does insane miles per gallon.

The ‘frunk’ is awesome. As are the genuine aftermarket panniers. Original screen is a bit too short, seat not the comfiest but overall it’s great. Mainstand should be standard, not an option.

adequate brakes , for the extra cost twin disc setup would make noticeable improvement

adequate , but bit more power , and/or tuned to add to performance in gear5/6

NO CORROSION , KEPT IN DRY GARAGE ,SO WOULDNT EXPECT , ASK ME IN COUPLE YEARS TIME , ITS WHAT I CALL "ADEQUATE" the lighting not brilliant(ADEQUATE) the brakes not brilliant ,(ADEQUATE) could benefit from twin disc setup. suspension clearly shows its budget side. its clearly built down to a price without a bolt or screw that can be dispensed with , love the "frunk" space could conceal dead body in . could perhaps do with a tad more power ,esp in top end, screen sorted out to avoid annoying wind blast

first service only yet will get better idea over next couple years??

would like an engine temperature display on dash , useful in britains stop/start traffic conditions . love the frunk , why dont more bikes do it? Easy get on/off ,feet comfortable for a geriatric 5ft 8 inch rider, tyres seem more than ok for me these days , could benefit with a proper usb somewhere other than where the existing item

Brakes are excellent, if you need more stopping power then it's time to review your riding. Supension over poor road surfaces is bone-shakingly painful! On smooth roads it's fine, but cobbles and speed bumps give you quite a jolt at any speeds. Best to budget for a suspension upgrade to match the quality of the rest of the bike.

Pleasantly powerful but not super exciting. You need the sport mode to get any real zip out of it.

Only two months old but quality is of usual Honda standard

£399 for first three services. Third service is quoted as £385 to £485 if not in plan. First service is oil change but not filter change! You can request a filter change though.

The storage frunk is the star, it's really useful. Buy a foam liner kit for it, and a satnav mounting bar that fits under the screen. How mean of Honda to put in a USB blanking panel then charge £65 for the socket. You can get similar for £1.60 online. Honda will also charge you £170 for a centre stand which is a necessity. Shad pannier rails fit fine and look minimalistic.

Wind helmet wobble and it could do with better brakes but it handles well and rides well.

I had a go on a Transalp and the NC feels a lot quicker even with much lower BHP, it has way more acceleration that I need.

I've ridden it all winter and no sight of rust.

I bought the service pack, probably a mistake but I've had no gripes and regularly get 70+mpg

I love the Frunk, I went for the USB-C port option to charge my phone and a centre stand - which should be standard.

As with all owners, a twin disc could have been added, but if your not being silly the brakes are more then efficient.

AN absolute perfect parallel twin

Well it's a Honda, you just can't go wrong.

Not yet had the first 16,000 mile service so unable to comment.

Has all you need, ABS, traction, clear LCD display

Very happy with the bike.

More than happy.

So far so good, only 450 miles clocked up.

As expected.

Can't fault the accessories except for the price.

The ride is 5 - 5, the brakes need to be slightly better either 2nd disk on front or larger one don't forget this bike weighs over 200kg

Fantastic not boring got plenty low down grunt, it's not a track bike and I like my driving licence suits me.

They don't break down, the DCT sometimes has a dicky fit, just reset it

The 1st service can be over £200, Honda need to give this free with new bikes I service my own bikes. but oil air filter oil filter spark plugs will set you back £100 if you buy yourself and then your time doing the service

Honda are milking the accessory pack the bike should come with a centre stand and a decent screen, This bike is just short of 10k so it's not really cheap

Only preload adjustable on rear shock but suspension does a decent job. DCT gearbox is sublime. Brakes do a decent job considering the single disc in the front wheel.

Feels pokier than the claimed 58bhp, decent low down grunt, needs dropping down a gear or two on overtakes, frugal too!

Typical Honda build quality, needs a good squirt of anti-corrosion if using through the winter months.

Very frugal, achieving 70mpg+ when being sensible.

Could do with centre stand as standard and would benefit with cruise control. A outside air temp on the display would be nice too but the absence of above help keep costs low… I’d rather pay extra and have included.

I havnt ridden with a pillion yet which is most of my riding so cant comment 2 hours a time then a break It's a breeze Fabulous riding position

Absolutely spot on Well done Honda

Havnt had it long enough but I keep on top of my bike cleaning so cant see it being a problem

PEANUTS!!! to run..I've never had a bike that goes passed so many fuel stations!!! Average 65mpg at good pace

Favourite is the Dct gearbox and the FRUNK ...what a clever clever idea Needs a better rear shock so will invest in the winter As I usually ride 2 up I need and always have put on a better shock with full adjustment I've learnt early on in my biking career that it's the best money well spent rather than spend loads on accessories Having joined the Honda forum everyone has a problem with the screen and replace it I'm not looking for the perfect air bubble I'm 5ft 8 and it does the job perfectly no problem at all

Normally stop for coffee before the NEED to stop

Enough power for real term riding!! Surprises quite a few sports bike riders.

Fist one I had corroded so bad I had to sell it..(but I do live next to the sea!)

Should have a main stand as standard!!!
