It looks like a summary of all the things other people have said over the last three years or so.

He DOSN"T ride any of them!!, we have all been wondering how this turd even has a job reviewing bikes, he clearly dosn't test ride them, or even have an opinion of his own...he just copy-pastes from other reviews (plagurisim professional)

It's really frugal, jolly comfortable and naked, so you don't ride it everywhere at license losing pace. I'm going to have to find a test bike and write a proper review, aren't I?

Here's a review for ya. We rented one of these from Munich last month, went over the Alps, down to Lake Como, back thru Lichtenstein, back to Munich. It's been a dream of mine to see some of the best roads in Europe from the seat of a bike, so off we went on the 800R. I'm really pleased that we didnt chose the 1200, as the 800 was just fine on those roads.
Most of the mountain passes are single lane in places, and two-up with panniers, we were slipping the clutch in first gear around the hairpins. Stelvio must have 80 or 100 tight bends like that, and you're up at 2670m at the top. The wee Beemer was great, agile, perky enough, and geared right for the mountains. Pillion was comfy, and easy to get on and off.
We only went on the 'motorways' for about 100kms, out of 2000kms, and this is where the bike was a bit maxed out. O.k. up to 120km/h, but thats holding up the trucks in some places!
I rekn it would be a great wee bike in N.Z. as we dont really get to go quickly here much any more. Ideal around town, good visibility because you sit up straight, and fine on the gravel. Maybe abit exposed in the rain, but gears so cheap now, it hardly matters.
And anyone thinking of a trip around Europe, do it! It was bloody great, not as expensive as you might think, and endless fantastic roads, if you stay off the fast bits.
Cheers, Matt.

A review of the bike would be good.

Story on Stuff : http://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/bike...mal-motorcycle
And for today's 20sec breakdown of the story goes something like this ............. At the start of the "Review" ( I use that term loosely )
.Imagine that you're an advocate for motorcycling and have to choose a bike that most displays the sort of values that will call into question any move by politicians to ban motorised two-wheeled transport as too dangerous, too decadent, and clearly too much fun. Which bike model would you choose? For me it would have to be the bike you see on this page, the new Honda NC700S
The middle section there is some gobshite about a 6500k rev limit && By the end of the ermmm copy/pasteIt's therefore best to adopt a similar operating style to the driver of a diesel passenger car
Yet despite enjoying my time aboard the NC700S when carving up twisty backroads, overall it was a slightly disappointing bike.
It lacks the heritage appeal and sweet styling of homage-twins like the Moto Guzzi V7 and Triumph Bonneville that deliver similar engine characteristics, as well as the sheer thrash-ability of Honda CBR250R that delivers similarly outstanding fuel economy.
Disclosure:
Now before you flame me for doing this each week .... I do it to take the piss as I know there are a few on here who get a laugh out of his story's, I also never claim to be able to write a story to save myself, much like the rest of KB I like taking the Piss ..... As you were
