I am a very happy camper. Last week I got my new 2010 Red NT700V. I test rode it when it had 22 miles on it and took it home that day. My Harley Trike has been sold and I’ll not venture in that direction again. I have ordered about $ 1K of farkles and look forward to fitting it up and making it into MY touring machine. I may take it to Daytona Biketoberfest as it is only about 400 miles from my home in the Keys. My riding buddy moved from the Keys to above Golden, CO in the mountains. The Trike definitely did not fare well in the twists and the high winds at altitude. The NT should excel.
I have taken advise from many members on the pros and cons of various items. I’ll add a Hepco & Becker luggage rack so that I can use the Tour Case that I have on my Triumph Bonneville T100. Be nice to just swap it out. I’ll also add risers, a Fenda Extender, Wind deflectors, carbon fiber tank pad, a kickstand footprint enlarger thingy, a tool kit and a service manual. With all of the Videos, I’ll be doing much of the maintenance required. I think I will also add some Michelin Road Pilot 5s in a few months. This bike had been stored in a conditioned, dark room next to the showroom. Currently there are a bunch of bugs on this critter as I put 400 miles on the last two days. Thrilled to have my new bike.
