Hi All

Just bought a Honda NC750x for my 50 mile commute

It claims 80 mpg and getting 80 mpg on motorway and 90 mpg if keep off motorway

Saving me a fortune in petrol

Not a fast motorbike but still enjoying the ride

Regards

Surely MPG should be better on M/way?

Wait until the dark evenings, cold, rain/hail/sleet/snow/ice I think you'll find it somewhat less enjoyable.

It’s a great choice for a commuter bike, one of the very few engines designed for economy, and with Honda reliability. It’s a shame more people don’t make the switch for commuting.

I commuted year-round for decades, and as long as you wore the proper clothing it was normally fine.

You still have the option of driving or taking public transport on the very rare day that the weather is truly awful.

This. Occasionally I’d get the bus (snow/lots below zero conditions because if black ice) but if wearing the right gear you’re fine 95-99% of the time.

Enjoy yourself!

Yes, you'll be fine as long as you have the right gear. I used to use my bikes all year round for commuting and go for longish rides on dry Winter days. Gear's looking better than ever these days as well.

If you can give it a quick wash down when you get back to get the salt off it'll stay looking good for a lot longer.

Enjoy!! I am a fair weather biker and so I am not getting the use I should, but its there for when the planets align, good weather and no requirement to be carrying paperwork, laptops etc.

Please be careful. I may be paranoid, but that does not mean they are not out to get you.
