I rode one and hated it one of the most uncomfortable bikes I ever rode so
though these things suit one and not the other do get a test ride, there
seems to be a lot for sale used and I haven't seen many on the road so
that to would make me think twice.

It comes down to the old chestnut bike or scooter. I still cannot decide, so have both.
Buy a second hand NC till you have made up your mind.

I have fancied a go on the Honda DCT for some time, and never got around to it...
Must visit 21st Moto and see what demos they have...
Just wish they had a toothed belt final drive, or a shaft...
Don't think i could go back to a chain and all that cleaning, lubing, adjusting faffing about....

That is all the first PCP machines going back into the dealers, loads of the lads on the nc site have changed in the last few months.

PCP?

I have week commencing the 29th off work so will book a test ride on an nc750s dct if can, its the middle of winter so ideal enough to see what it would be like next winter.

Horobags, I'd only be looking at low mileage second hand and my yearly is about 7-8000 miles so that deal would be out the window anyway, but thanks for posting it! :)

Bern, ah the only pcp I had head of was the drug :lol:

I didn't know you could get that type of contract for bikes, I thought it was only for cars.
