Aha, you dont have a full licence yet.
I think you would be better to get a 250 for a couple of years then move up to the NC.

Re: NC700x and DCT bikes long term.
I've had my Integra 700 just over a year, bought nearly new and put about 7.5k miles on it. Very reliable, very stable, very fun!
Mine is my main transport and is used in all weathers and lots with a pillion so the low running costs and large service intervals are great. Scooter weather protection with bike handling is brilliant as is surprising nobs at the traffic light grand prix!
Highly recommend it in whatever shape you prefer (x s or d 700/750).

Re: NC700x and DCT bikes long term.
The 750 has a new seat cover so no slip any more..but most peeps ( and me ) fit after marcket seats as the Honda seat not very good for long tours.
PS: and this years model ( 2016 ) gets new suspenders as well.

You can get that same material from a pound shop and save a few quid.michaelphillips wrote:you can get these things for front seats as well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Non-slip-Grip ... 0MCnVDnULw
I use it wrapped around an inflatable camping pilliow (also a pound!) as a kind of pikey Airhawk for long journeys on the Xevo (anything more than a couple of hours is uncomfortable for me).

Re: NC700x and DCT bikes long term.
I'm on the NC forum and by all account the 750 isn't that much better.
some say it vibs,less mpg...etc.the 750 has minor niggles to.
everybody has their own ideas in what they think is best.
I have the 700x dct model vibs? I don't have ,not that I've notice.
I ride 2 up all the time low 60 to high 70's mpg is my average.
a lot depends on how the rider treat it whether it a 700 or a 750.
for the money the subtle difference isn't worth the extra money. so I'm keeping my bike.
go ahead and get the 700x dct. I find the x is more comfortable than the 'S' model but I like it better than the x.
comfort comes 1st.you may find that the seat is a little uncomfortable if it has been change.
some find it is ok and some don't.
all bikes/scooters have faults one way or another.
