Hey All,
I'm very new to the NT700 (have only ridden about 150 miles on mine), but not new to riding.
I have many good things to say about the bike so far, but there is one glaring characteristic about it that has really surprised me, and that is it's personality above 60mph. I know that it's no inline 4, but I really thought that as a touring bike, it would be more relaxed at freeway speeds. Seems like a 6th speed would cure this, perhaps?
Maybe I'm re-stating what's been said over and over again here, or maybe I'm being overly critical, but would love to know other's thoughts about this. FYI, my bike has just under 11,000 miles on it.
