Simply good
Even at the end of our extremely enjoyable test kilometres, the conclusion remains the same: This is a good motorcycle. Suitable for everyday use, on long-haul flights, neither wind pressure nor an extreme knee angle, comfortable bench or operation that solves puzzles are annoying.
The Yamaha Tracer 700 is easy, fluffy and controlled. Yamaha. This is true, and this should come as little surprise, for the experienced and high-quality workmanship.
If you want to upgrade your tracer at the factory, you have a choice of various accessories and four packages. The range ranges from the larger windshield, sports exhaust to various containers and bags. But then there is an end to cheap: Full equipment raises the price to more than 12,000 euros.
The test bike was provided to us by Tecius & Reimers in 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!
