It's the NC700/750 that has the storage box in the dummy tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 That number plate is just slightly wrong, the DBM's would have loved it had it been WKG as I'm sure they're partial to a bit of wanking 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If you didn't miss them before you'll be dandy. I think its a pita. Not got one of the 9T or the Mutt (unsurprisingly). Centre stands have their uses, especially for a quick blasting of crap off your chain and lubing, rear puncture repair, weird uneven ground.. urr thats it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get more fuel in the tank when it's on the centre stand. Wheel removal is easier, especially on larger heavier machines. I can balance a cup of tea on the filler cap or top box easier as well. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand With a boxer engine, you don’t get oil starvation on one side when starting the bike after a while, while the other side might get oil into the combustion chamber. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
