If you overlook this, getting around with the BMW is a very enjoyable hobby. Let it be with the hustle and bustle, the appropriate movement of the BMW automatically leads to a flowing driving style, without corners or edges. The faster you drive, the more steering momentum would be needed, so at some point you let it be easy – well.
Compared to the competition, the BMW convinces with its bullish start and the gnarled, authentic nature. She is equal with the consistency of her design as well as the crisp sound and loving details. Although the comfort on long distances may not be the best, you are well dressed with the BMW everywhere.
Although the BMW nineT Scrambler is actually 1,900 euros cheaper than its heritage sister, who would have thought that, you shouldn't do without an extra: The beautiful spoke wheels (395 euros) are excellent. BMW was the last to ride the Scrambler wave for the time being, but with a convincing model.
Was there anything else? Oh yes, the off-road suitability. Oh no, there was nothing – just like the Scrambler models of the competition.

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.
