Bike test

 I rode up to Colwyn Bay on the north coast to have a test ride on a Honda NC750.

 

It was the automatic gearbox version of the bike. After riding for 40mins on a mixture of fast dual carriageways and bendy B-roads I soon found it was not the bike for me. 

 

I found a bit of lag between throttle and uptake of drive and I prefer to be in control of the engine braking. Plus it lacked power for a 750cc machine.

The following day I rode up to Deeside another 4 hour round trip from Machnlleth to try out a Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro.

I was really looking forward to this test  as its a bike I have admired for sometime but it wasn't to be, the dealers insurance didn't recognise my IOM driving license.
