Did you get the one with traditional 6-speed manual box or the DCT one?
It's an interesting looking adventure bike, alas a bit underpowered when compared to other bikes in this class such as Kawasaki Versys or Triumph Tiger 800, alas the Tiger is more expensive.
Still, it doesn't take hundreds of HP to have fun on a bike, and from what I've read the engine in this Honda is tuned for low rpm torque so you don't have to wring it out. The 6.5K rpm redline makes it more similar to a car engine, and it'll probably be easy on oil. What is the sump capacity?
Have you owned any other bikes before this one? Curious how it compares. Every now and then I get an itch to ditch my little Vulcan and get an adventure bike, alas most of them have a pretty tall seat height which does not fare well with my fairly short legs, so that's what's stopping me. I know there is a shorter version of this bike called NC700S, but I'm not sure if it's available in the US.
How tall are you?
