It needs the few extras to make it work really well.
there was a nc700 dct at 21st moto it had acro and all the other toys you mention, at £4200 with 1,000 miles was gone in a few days.... was gonna sit on it today when i went for a ride, but gone, the guy in the rear garage was just taking an new customers integra 750 out for a spin, had a chat it looked really nice

This time I used one of those squeeze bottles where the inner tube goes right to the bottom of the tube so you can hold it upright whilst squeezing the oil out. This made the job far easier. Honda see fit to provide very small holes for filling the oil through so some sort of squeeze bottle or syringe is essential.
The bottle came from Amazon and is the sort that tattooists use for squirting antiseptic everywhere.

I also use a 100m syringe for gear oil. £2 on ebay.

I looked at the 700ncts, they are a great bike but a poor scooter IMO.
