My missus has developed a bit of a spacky wrist on the clutch side and it would seem that this may be a rather long winded affair. This is causing her grief when she gets on her bike as although she can hold on and grip she struggles to extend her hand and pull in the clutch. She loves her cb500f but obviously can’t ride it without using the clutch.
So after hearing rave reviews about the dct system on a few hondas we decided to go and throw her leg over the new x adv non scooter type thingy. Admittedly the looks are a bit of a marmite affair and she wasn’t overly impressed, however I quite like it and assured her that once she took it for a blat she might well learn to love it. Well, she couldn’t even get on it, it’s so flipping tall and once she did get on it because the seat and running boards are so wide you really struggle to get your feet anywhere near the floor. I tried it and at 6foot plus it’s a stretch. They do a lowering kit but we were fast going off the idea and a £10000 price wasn’t helping.
So the salesman said what about this and showed her the new nc 750s with dct and admittedly it’s a bit dull to look at but what a revelation. She was on it faster than you could say and yes it’s a bit heavier than her cb500 to man handle but once running the dct makes for a happy wife. Also it’s £3000 cheaper than the x adv and they share the same engine. So looks like I’ll be having to put in some overtime if it ever dries up.
