Well, I picked up the Integra 750 today and after a 130 mile long way home, I am totally sold on DCT. As previously mentioned I have purchased this with the view of it becoming my retirement set of two wheels. I know others have said it before, it does handle like a bike and it suits my 6'1" 16 stone frame. The extra little bit of legroom over the 700 model certainly helps, and the weight, although not a lightweight machine, is o.k. Storage is limited to a small cubby box and under seat 'tray'. That said I will be fitting a Givi box and be using throw over panniers for those odd camping trips, so more than enough. I have not noticed any more vibes than what I get on the NC700X and no tingling right hand, like some owners have reported with their 750 machines.
It's early days yet to report on performance compare with my 700X as I am running it in but hopefully will do so in the future.
As I have 'treated' myself I thought it only fair that I treat the wife as well, so I asked her what she would like? Being a fair bit younger that me she said that she would like something shiny that does 0 - 150 in about two seconds. Bathroom scales on order!

Oh fantastic!! Did you get the black one like you originally wanted?

Hi Wozza,
Matt black with red pinstripe and gold wheels. I have taken a picture on my iPhone but I aways seem to have problems uploading pictures to this site! Maybe it's an age thing?

My sh 300 was going to be my retirement two wheels rodger, .
Glad your liking the integra , cant wait to see pics. They really are a great machine, compare on paper to other big scoots they come second in most comparisons but they are so different, you need to ride one to appreciate how good they are. Im keeping my 700 for probably a year until the vultus nm4 arrives. Ive just so got to have me one of them.

Sounds great RoadRunner. The colour scheme sounds good too - looking forward to seeing the pictures.

I'll look out for it next time I'm near Tiptree.

Will you attend the next Walton on the Naze pie n mash ride on it?

Goodness, that makes (at least) TWO enthusiastic Integra owners on here. Being nasty and cynical I suspect that thats half the owners in the UK....
Glad you enjoy yours - I'd like to like one - honest, but the chain drive and no storage just pisses me off.

Hi Mark, I know it's early days yet but I have bonded with the Integra. Just hoping the mpg lives up to expectation and it's on a par with the NC700X. Glad to note that you are keeping yours for a little while and no doubt we will compare notes at the Air Ambulance camping weekend. Vultus NM4 that's quite different!

Paul,
If Motzza does another Walton-On-Naze run and it doesn't clash with other commitments I will certainly be up for it!

Tiptree? On our run outs in the car with the dog to Mersea for Fish 'n' chips, we always stop off for a cream tea on the way home in Tiptree at the jam factory. Luuurveley!

Hi MrGrumpy,
Chain drive not a problem for me as I am use to them. That said, I must admit that it was nice to have the shaft drive on the VFR1200 that I have recently parted with. It did come in handy on a recent 1500 mile excursion into France, but I doubt in retirement, I will be doing many more of those. Storage, o.k it is limited but for me by adding a box and the occasional use of throwover panniers, I am sure I will get by. As they say each to their own and just enjoy what we have, whilst we can!

Agreed, each to there own, I think if you like to look after your bike, and keep on top of it chain maintenance isnt really a chore.
