I should stop going into bike shops. In two weeks i pick up an NC750s . Not had the 's version. 3of the X's an the xadv. An gone fir the black/metallic brown.. it's much better in the flesh than in the pictures .

Thats the colour I had, congrats Andy, they are a great bike, easy to manage, and I recon they handle better than the X.

So how long did the Burgman last ?

Didn't realise you'd had one mark. I've not seen a brown one on the road. Only at NEC. An i liked the colour. So went for it.

Im sure you will prefer the S to the X, I do.

Well I'm flat foot on the ground. So thats a good start anyway. 10days an counting. What have you done to yours so far. I've got rad guard an givi rack waiting to go on.

The 'S' must be most practical bike around. I've looked at how easy they are to service, with the slanting engine valve clearances are very easy, no bodywork needs to come off and they are screw and lock nut type. I had to have an NC700X when they came to the UK, stocks of the S arrived later.

Well, the naked S version may be OK in this weather, but I don't fancy one in the winter! However, it sounds as if you'll be tired of it by then anyway!
