why do you think it isn't? I had nc750x for 50k km and been riding all over the Europe plus Morocco. Great, inexpensive bike.

Andy has covered pretty much all of it already (including the myth about 'half a Jazz'), and certainly having spent some time and a couple of thousand miles on an NC750X in the UK, it's an nice, underrated and often overlooked bike - I would much prefer one of these to a BMW F700 for example, particularly since it has the DCT option.

However, as Andy and AnTyx suggest - the CB500X is the better 'all-terrain' platform... it has similar power and fuel economy/range, and is appreciably lighter and more nimble feeling with a much shorter wheelbase/better ground clearance etc.

If primarily highway miles (and unsurfaced roads) are your foreseen usage, plus you might want to carry a passenger in more comfort and/or larger [hard] luggage loads, the NC has a lot to commend it... and you're unlikely to want or need to take a bike of this size and weight into really technical trail terrain anyway.

The under-seat refuelling is a bit of a pain (this is where they could have taken a tip from BMW with the F700/800 model and had a separate side filler), but as a day-to-day errand runner the 'frunk' is useful - and you can put your helmet in it scooter style too.

I wouldn't want to take one particularly far off the beaten track (compared to a CB), but it would be a pretty painless ownership and faithful travel bike for sure.

so three wheels it the best ever ride . its a cheap hack with no sparkle I have ridden a few on my daily trips to work , cant say it did anything very well . its just a work horse mpg was great thats it . I like to ride bikes that involve you in the ride not sterile and dull . after 40 years or riding we can all make our own mind up . whats with the crap comments

which BTW did over 30k km on this bike, mixed roads.

I have mine 3 years done 50k KM and it has never missed a beat. When I tour, France, Belgium and Ireland, I ride with 1200 gs's, and an FJR1300. The bike has no problem running all day with these machines and does so using a lot less fuel. The bike averages between 75 and 80 MPG that gives a range of around 200 miles. I've done 500+ miles in a day with no issues and i'm now pushing into my mid 50's. It has all the carrying capacity you really need.
I do take the bike off the road at times and it has proved competent and rugged.
I can't think of any bike that does everything so well.
