G'day everyone.
I was wondering if there were any among you that can answer this question based of personal experience.
I do not yet own an NC but REALLY REALLY want one.
This bike (that I do not yet own) would be used primarily as a daily commuter, but I'd like to know that it's capable of a little weekend adventure every now and then.
I have big dreams to strap some stuff to the back and disappear into the wilderness for 2 weeks at a time, somewhere like the Karoo. Is the NC capable enough to handle the rutted dirt roads of our beautiful semi arid desert??
As an inexperienced rider, I imagine that the engine on this steed offers good low down torque and I would likely opt for the DCT version of the bike. I'm not looking to leave massive rooster tails of dirt behind me, I want to simply cruise the dirt roads of the Tankwa, find places to pitch my tent and spend some time in most stunning part of our country.
NC750 = Suitable???
I'm open to suggestions, but REALLY have my heart set on the NC...
