I have ridden 2 different F800's. One I thought vibrated a lot. Didn't notice it on the other one., but no doubt they are very nice bikes. Well equipped. I think some of the twin motors were Austrian made and some in Thailand IIRC, made depending on year. Maybe later ones got an extra counter balancer? For me there was no BMW dealer close. Also seems to me the handle bars were pretty low. The new 900 versions are chain drive I believe.
Would I ride an NC 750 on a trip? Sure. It runs very low revs at highway speed. The fellow that owns the blue one used to ride an ST 1300 but he wanted something lighter hand traded it in on the NC 750. We take a yearly trip together and he will be riding his on this years trip to Tenn/N Carolina in October if the Covid thing calms down. My nephew will be riding his NC500X on the same trip. We rarely exceed 70 mph even on the expressway. Both bikes are easily capable of running those speeds.
