I'm an early adopter of the Honda NT700V, a lighter, slower sport-touring bike. I traded my old Connie, TumbleToo, in on "Dudley Deauville" last April. He's got almost 22,000 miles on him now and did the first IBA-certified ride (a SS1K) last April 30-May1. I've taken a 4200 mile trip with the bike, and will be going to the first-ever NT-Owners Club National Rally in Hill City, SD, at the end of June (You're all invited, BTW). If anyone's got questions about this bike, I'm willing to try to answer them, and would also invite you to cross-join...be members or guests over at
