Fuel capacity is about the same as the CB1100 but the NC has been averaging 72 mpg which still allows for decent range. It needs a better wind screen, heated grips, center stand, hand guards, better tires (Michelin PR4's) and some hard bags.
The motor is very smooth at typical highway speeds and the seat is comfortable for time between fuel stops. The "frunk" is wonderful, will never need another tank bag.
Maintenance plus is screw type valve adjusters that are easily accessed.
(+1) Red. The NC750X is a very practical and capable all-rounder Honda solution. It will go all day and take little from your stash.

I plan to take a hard look at the 2021 NC750X. They lowered the bike over an inch, made it 13# lighter, and upped the horsepower a couple. I rode my son's FIL's 2019 NC750X and thought I could maybe live with it (maybe not for long trips .... although he rode his to North Carolina with us on the MFT last year). I'm actually thinking about a DCT model. Sort of a cross between a motorcycle and a scooter lol.

A Forum member once pointed me to a wonderful review and I acquired the 2018 Honda NC750XD. No regrets. Only 54 or 55 hp, but it will sustain 130 km/h all day and will peak out maybe at 170 km/h, yet have wonderful economy and low cost of ownership. Sadly, because of the NC750X, I moved to the Africa Twin.
