I figured I would bring this thread back from the dead. I never purchased the 2013 DCT ABS NC700X, but I rode a 2012 manual version home to see what it was like. This one was just traded in with 58,000 miles, all by the original owner. It still runs like a top. It's got a ton of farkles, too. I'm considering it because I can pick it up cheap.
It would be a great beater back and forth to work, not worry about the sun fading it, etc. Plenty of power for around town and does ok on the highway.
My BMW 1200GS is awesome, but completely overkill for my use. I could easily pocket several thousand dollars by getting rid of it.
