S10 is good.. But I'm not good, got some issues at home, so gotta let it go lo. But never mind, NC is still a nice bike.

Back from a short 2D1N ride to Kuantan.

Have a few thoughts about the bike to share.

 

1) 6th gear is indeed overdrive gear. Once engaged 6th gear, vibration is reduced quite abit and engine feels very stable. However, expect no power available. It's a "purely cruising" gear.

 

2) 150km/h is going to be the comfortable highway cruising speed, with my height + OEM touring screen. At this speed, bike will still be able to have power left to pull away if necessary.

 

3) After 150km/h, acceleration increases slowly. Ending of power liao. Top speed tried is around 170km/h. I'm sure can go 180km/h, but the suspensions wouldn't be able to give you a confident ride.

 

4) Stock suspension is really soft. Comfy, but not very inspiring will cornering. During this ride, swapped with the Versys for a stretch of road, there's really a big difference...

 

5) The front brakes are really pretty good. Don't really lose to the versys double disc based on both tester... Though he think it's better than his Versys. So, those who think single disc is no good, think again.. The big rotor isn't there for nothing.

 

6) Will need riser for comfortable riding. But this is debatable. There's no stress on the upper and lower back. Just arms. But if put riser, it could potentially add stress to the back instead...

 

7) The stock seat really cannot make it.. Luckily I got the air hawk in time... Enough said...

 

8) Bike's power range is very different from other bikes. Most bikes are high rev, and riders are usually used to getting power at high rpm by dropping 2 gears. However, 1 gear is the max you can drop with the NC700.. By dropping 2 gears, you hit above 5k rpm, thats it. That's when the power actually dip... So, cant ride aggressively, adapt to smooth riding technique like I did on my ex-scooters.

 

9) FC is fantastic. However, if rev alot, still can get 26.8km/h. Otherwise, for regular hard riding, 28km/h, smooth commuting; 29-29.5km/h.

 

Overall, this bike really impressed me more than I thought.. Pretty fun ride.. Very light, and easy to handle..

 

Bro- would love to know hor. if like say u go touring always. constant comfortable pace will be in the 150 always? if u try at 160-170 will the front of the bike feel very light? and unstable? because a friend of mine told me. then scare wait kena tank slap.cos light.

[whyzee]

Hmm. I havent try the bike on trips yet. But so far, I think a good cruise speed would be 140ish.

 

The bike's front end does feels abit light at 160-170 kind of speed. Its partly bcos of the soft suspension.. Other factors that could come into play would be, topbox, bar riser..

 

Im not certain if this setup will kena tank slap, but it doesnt feel as light as my s10 at 160. But my s10 did kena tank slap b4...

 

Another thing is, if u press down at 160ish, which i did, it shld be alright. But i didnt maintain it for too long b4 i saw a tp car.

I see u oledi gotten ur jr flash side boxes, u got 'em frm where?

Cool... At least u dun hv to wait for mths, è feelin of gettin wat u wan straight away is oways priceless.

[alvinyansg]

if i manage to switch(hopes all goes well) would like to transfer my top box rack and box and sb1000 side racks with pelicans(similar) boxes over...

Yes, I was quite surprised I managed to get a used set. Initially wanted junior 30 instead of flash due to price but the price I paid for this set was substantially lower than junior 30 brand new.

Not sure if the universal top rack would fit but I remembered rreading NC requires type specific racks for panniers. Not sure if Mah motors can answer this but no harm dropping them an email.

Shouldn't be a problem. But you need to order the rack soon. I think some of the guys are a bit confused. SB1000 should be just the mounting plate for the E21/trekker boxes right?
