This is the loaner I got from John Banks today while my 09 HRC is in. An NC750 apparently. No clutch, no gear lever, but it does have 'sport' mode and a wavy front disc. Basically a big scooter, probably won't be trading in for this any time soon.
Go on admit it, you put the picture up because your actually tempted to swap it for you blade.....sorry time to wake up.... night mare over
I had one of these as a loan bike last year and hated it. Changing up the gears was novel (for a while), but not much fun. Coming back down through the gears was horrible. Unless you used "sport mode" it would change up at something like 1500 rpm. It would change down when perhaps you least wanted it to, e.g. mid corner. Engine was pants too.
