I bought my 2010 NT700Va last September. I paid $5,500 and the bike had 3,100 miles on it. It looked like new except for some minor corrosion (had lived near the ocean?). Original tires on it. It was on consignment at a Honda/Kawasaki dealer. Due to the harsh ride, I soon had "buyer's remorse". Arguably, the crappy roads were as much at fault as the NT suspension was. I made suspension changes and began to like the bike for its adjustable windshield, flickable handling, good brakes, good fuel economy, and energetic engine. It's not nearly as fast or cool or as awesome sounding as my old VFR. And not as comfy or as quiet as my heavy but capable Pacific Coast. I was disappointed that the NT was not the thoroughly satisfying replacement for my two 1996 Hondas. But... I just returned from a 1,200 mile Northern California ride over some of the best twisty roads in the US. CA 108 over 9,624 ft Sonora Pass. A loop around Lake Tahoe. A ride through Lassen Volcanic Nat'l Park up to where the snow had still closed the CA 89. Then 140 miles of curves on the awesome and legendary CA 36 from Red Bluff to Fortuna. On the fourth day, a ride down Hwy 1 along the coast and back to the Bay Area. The NT performed flawlessly. I'm no longer thinking of selling it but instead pondering what to do with the VFR and PC.
