There was another thread about this bike. https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=89971.0;topicseen I own one and I am very happy with it. As long as you use it for its primary function which is commuting. I would never go offroad with it.

Unfortunately I have not had a pillion on it yet. I think the seat will be OK for short trips but it is definitely no GS1200 seat. Superbike pillion riders with rock hard butts will probably find it super comfortable.  ;D

Eish!! I'm not very skilled at ride reports but here goes .... Engine stuff: The engine is basically half of a Honda Jazz motor so it is low revving like a car. Redline starts at 6000rpm and the limiter kicks in soon after that. Initially you will hit the limiter a lot until you get used to...

Well I have now had my NC700x for almost 3 months and I still love it. It works very well for commuting and road trips. Havent taken it offroad though because it comes out with Battleaxe tires which are not ideal for dirt. I would seriously consider some Anakees or something like that for dirt...

The screen works reasonably well for me up to about 140 with a normal full face helmet. I would definitely not try it with peaked helmet. After that I get some buffeting and I am a short dude. I got caught in some hectic rain yesterday and the bigger screen would have helped a lot more. In fact...

Ag sorry man. I meant to say adventure bike. Have a look at https://powersports.honda.com/ site. It is listed there as an Adventure bike. But then again, they don't actually have a commuter section and the site doesn't have some other bikes like the Cross Runner. I agree it it best suited as a...

I bought an NC700X and I love it! As a commuter or tourer it is pretty good BUT the suspension is probably set up way to hard to really take it offroad. I don't know why they even market it as a dual sport as it it definitely set up for road use and I wouldn't even take it on gravel with the...

I for one couldn't give a crap what bikes they use. Whatever they use, they will have some serious backup even if they tackle it on blerrie Jonway scooters. For me it's all about the trip. What route would you rather take from say the southern tip of South America up to somewhere in Alaska /...

Thanks! Yes, I have a HJC fullface helmet and it fits nicely, but it's tight. I suspect that  some designs might not fit. Helmets with peaks will definitely not fit.

So I got my new NC 700.  O0 So far I am very happy and impressed with it. It might not be a superbike but compared to my 400cc Transalp it is a rocketship! It doesn't rev like a normal bike with the redline starting at 6000 rpm, but it has almost full torque available from about 1200 rpm. It's...

Eish! Ek het nou meer gedoen as dit net oorweeg. Het sopas die geldjies oorbetaal om een aan te skaf!  :ricky:

Saw one yesterday at Menlyn Wing and it is a stunning looking thing. SA models do not come with ABS and the dealer reckons that we will also probably only get the auto transmission in the scooter thats also based on this platform. At the price (just under R65k) it's a steal. I think we will be...

I actually have a TransAlp 400 twin.  O0 Time to upgrade ...

Hmmm ... what exactly do you need to qualify as a Taxi ?  :pot: Sounds like my next car will be a minibus taxi used exclusively for me. Gotta use their stupid rules against them!  :deal:

OK .. so I went to book at Centurion today. Only took about an hour. Test date .... 7 October!

I asked the same question just last week but nobody even answered me. I know you could get people that helped with the bookings, in fact I used someone like that last time I wrote a learners. It seems that now after the whole phone in booking fiasco it is very difficult to make a booking unless...

I organised my learners through Ruben at bumpercars a few years ago. The thing has now expired and I need to go and write the learners again. Unfortunately it seems as if the numbers for him doesn't work anymore. Is there anyone else I can contact in Pretoria to help me organise a booking? I...

Driver's licence chaos Stations operate below capacity after call centre contract is cancelled .... https://www.timeslive.co.za/local/article682754.ece/Drivers-licence-chaos

Hmmm ... sounds like this is more a case of attempted murder than a road accident. Hopefully the driver of the truck can be found and brought to justice. If there is no legal recourse I am sure that someone from the Wild Dog horde will be able to find out exactly who this person is so that we...

I also saw it yesterday at AMID. Good looking bike and according to some guys who own GSA's and sat on the silver one, it feels a lot lower than the GSA. I think it will do well as a tourer. One of the guys there commented on the placement of the oil filter right at the front of the motor. With...
