Any NT700V "Deauville" owners?

Nice report Tom. So did you make it to the Keys too?

Yes I did and that ride report is in the same location on http://www.jimbronson.com

Tom's bike

I owned a 2010 NT700 and it was a great bike! I also had a ST1300 and it too was a great bike. I liked the NT better because it was so much lighter. I rode my NT to Dead Horse Alaska and back with 0 problems. Very comfortable bike and reliable. You can read my trip to Alaska on http://www.jimbronson.com
click on Tom's bike in Bronson garage and at the top you will see the link. Sometimes I wish I still had that bike!

Thank you! A follow up question: online reviews do mention the 5 speed tranny as short on gears. How do you find the bike at 70-80mph speeds in terms of gearing?

(And this comes from a guy with a 5 speed CB1100! Lol.)

I had no problems keeping up with traffic. Most of my riding was back roads but you can cruise on the interstate when needed with out issues.

I could get 200 miles to a tank on the back roads. My best was 245 in Alaska running at a slower pace of course.

There’s always one.

I liked your report a lot TCBronson. Thanks.

Thanks!
