I would confidently say yes. Any how ride also never gone below 29km/l before.

[Pizzaboy]

So.... which shop to pull out the new bugger is a better choice?

Please leave out the Sgoon Shop with NUS grad Owner....

 

Bro u anti-nus ah? Bwahahaa

I personally feels dat his father makes a better businessman, back in those days in his daddy will oways go all out to make sure all his customers r satisfied b4 steppin out of è shop. By doin so, He gained many repeated bikers biz.

Perhaps his jr. shd learn è ropes more frm papa b4 comin out on his own. cheap machine prices doesn't necessary means u r gd. Transparancy is wat we bikers r lookin for, we wanna patronise any shop dat is pure & honest in their dealins & not twist & turn with so many hidden cost. We r purchasin a bike not goin to a prata shop for roti prata kosong with tea tarik.

I reckon asp, loois or bs will be a more suitable place to book for ur NC

BTW any one here lower or try lowering the seat height for more leg room?

Can order the lowering kit from europe or alter seat cushion. I went to eugene saddlery, they do have this gel feel foam that we can change, this will enable vertically challenged ppl like us a few more centimetres.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_NC700_series

 

The engine was designed to deliver a "pleasant throbbing feel" of a V-twin through the use of a 270Ëš crankshaft, which Honda "deliberately designed with a uniaxial primary balancer" even though the primary vibration of the crankshaft could have been balanced perfectly using a biaxial balance shaft.

 

The fuel consumption figure of 3.58 L/100 km (78.9 mpg-imp; 65.7 mpg-US) has been attributed to the low number of moving parts in the engine – the oil pump is driven by the balance shaft, while the camshaft also drives the water pump. The design also resulted in water hoses that were 30% shorter. The pistons are resin-coated and lightweight aluminum material is used for the friction-reducing roller rocker arm.

Not going back there, nice chap until he get defensive. If problem arise, he will ask you what you want instead of suggesting what he can do for you. That's just my side of the story. Generally he seems friendly.

hey all

Hope can collect my ride by then, back**** itchy to ride liao hahaha.

Wa. Bro, u wanna it to b SAF friendly huh? Haha. Ok, i will see what i can do.

 

maybe use the grey plack type haha

 

Also.. our local model .... no ABS right?

I read that 1 Owner feedback single disc is good enough... Any more to 2nd that ?

 

yes, have c-abs models and yea the single brake disc is plenty good!

 

 

did my 2nd servicing with ASPoon instead of boon siew... total damage, 115.60, using 3.4l of mobil 1 eo & honda oil filter. after 4k from my last servcing(Boon Siew's warranty card kia si 4k mileage service interval) there still seem to be plenty of EO when draining out... seems like the 12k interval stated in the manual is do-able, i got no sluggish feeling at all at my 5k mileage since last service. anyway for those who wana know how the bike look like with hand guard and honda touring windscreen and h&b junior 55l, this is how it looks

Not sure abt the shop u order from or if there is other shipment sorry, but the one I order told me latest mid sept.

C-abs = u refering to combine brake system?

Ano, there's 3 models of NC700X available.

1) Base (kosong) model: no abs, no cbs, no dct

2) A model: abs and cbs, no dct

3) D model: abs, cbs, dct

 

I got the kosong model one btw. cbs are good, but I believe I can do without it. Easier to maintain too.

ABS wise. I never comissioned my S10 ABS for past 1 year plus plus...

I think the 2 who visited me... (1 is Bitx, e other i forget who liao) both also kosong model...

single disc + ABS might sound better.....

No ABS also ok la..

since stock is wave disc anyway...

most importantly.. Engine CC not big..... shouldnt be tat bad...

 

so u got from BS ah...

I feel you. Personally can't stand ppl from service line getting defensive as well. So far my one and only interaction with him was plesant. Quite helpful as he took the time to show me all the different foam he has eventhough he was busy doing his stuff. I most probably won't be getting my seat altered since I've since gotten used to its height and doesn't bother me.

Looks good. I was considering the 40 or 42litres journey series for topbox, end up took the 40litres as there is quite a difference in price for 2 litres of space. Now eagerly waiting for next shipment to get my panniers.

 

thanks for the info

No problem at all. Remember to post pics of your bike when you get your hands on it!

so u got from BS ah...

Yes, I got the 0902 from you. Hell of a difference from the stock tweety bird horn. Also enquired about the hella ME foglights.

 

No need to think. Get the NCX! Haha.

Guess we're merely spreading the poison around in order not to get too deeply poisoned ourselves. Haha.

 

After loois, maybe can get 2nd valuation at ASP.
