Good, but not cheap
So you can imagine enjoying day trips or the ferries of everyday life on normal routes with the BMW G 310 GS. For the big tour she is rather too unrelaxed. BMW is calling for around 6,050 euros for this model. The question then arises as to who should buy this. Sure, it is suitable for beginners qua law. But as a pure beginner bike a bit expensive.
BMW's 310 series has clear qualities. If you can do without the rather limited touring ability anyway, you should take a look at the already mentioned G 310: Here you can save another 700 Euros.
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Pinneberg near Hamburg.
Conclusion - what gets stuck
The NC 750 X is one of Honda's top 3 sellers. No wonder, because as mentioned at the beginning there are hardly any competitors that would be comparable with this bike. It is incredibly practical, agile, easy to drive, affordable and offers the proverbial Honda quality. However, the NC would not be dojustice if it were simply reduced to these virtues, because it is also really fun! Appropriately, we also liked the sound thanks to the lifting pin offset. Beautifully bollerig and untemrum bassy, the Twin roars in front of it. Almost like a V2, especially when you're gasping.Overall, Honda succeeds with the NC 750 X a small, fine funbike that has not unjustly found many fans over the years. This certainly does not include the announcers and announcers of the motorcycle meeting, but rather "real" motorcyclists, who use their bike a lot and often. So all those who have to be able to rely on their mobile base, because they are not only gurgling to the iceman in fair weather, but on the daily commute or for longer journeys. And that's exactly what the Honda NC 750 X is made for.
The test machine was provided to us by motofun from Kaltenkirchen - thank you very much!
