Re: Aspiring new Rat …
It’s a 2013 Honda NC700sc … truly an old man’s bike … but with some modern touches like fuel injection, abs brakes and real lights …
Time will tell
Oldewing, it was $1500 cheaper than the CBX … so …
Previous owner was a wealthy guy, it was just a toy, he was the 2nd owner … put 1100 Ks on it in 3 years … (the first owner actually rode the bike) … he sold it to me for about 1/2 what he paid for it … bought a new house and wanted it gone …

Don't you have to be going over 100mph before sixth works?
