Ah, but the beauty of it is that you don't have to. ;)

Well the 750 is definitely a more gutsy machine while still holding on to the NCS reputation for economy...
I had a test ride on a 700 Integra last week.
Was quite impressed but decided if I did go for the bike it will be the 750 :D

A 750 is a wise choice... Not to say there is any wrong with the 700 because there isnt, but the 750 is the better machine.

They were pretty similar in power, torque, rpm and mpg to this "revolutionary" Honda idea....

Revolutionary - perhaps not, but a welcome change of direction - then I would say 'yes'. And it's nice to see in the main it's been pretty well received by the press.

I would agree, definitely a big step in the right direction.
Hopefully the directional change continues and they get rid of the chain and engine vibration.

Ah now this where the bone on contention lies.
The 750 has an extra balancer shaft compared with the 700. Personally I think this was a mistake as I've noticed some slight high frequency vibes (not a lot mind) which weren't present on my 700. I found my 700 to be lovely smooth machine which got better as the miles increased. It's too early to say on the 750 yet, though I would still say the 750 is a better machine.

I would be more keen on an NC if they dumped the chain for a Belt.
I know a lot of people prefer a Chain but I ain't one of them! :D
