The NC700X is a very feesh new idea of how it should be to ride a bike. The engine is very torquey and delivers a lot of acceleration without any squeeqs and vibrations. It just speeds away, like nothing else. Very good! The road handling is great too, with perfect balance of everything. I rode the XD, with double clutch. It might sound boring before you test it. But the easy shifting is a fantastic way to ride curvy roads. If you are looking for a very good bike, well-priced and in this application-range it is the best buy.
