My New NTV!

[mabb29]

Hi

I am the proud owner of an NTV 650! ;D

After hiring an NTV 700 a couple of years back and loving it on my ride to Germany I went in search of a similar bike but older to fit my budget. I bought this blind having not seen or ridden it off ebay but got a good feeling from the 100% feedback seller. The ride back from Shropshire to Norfolk was a little cold but very enjoyable - they really are comfortable and fun bikes! I am well pleased with my purchase and can't wait for a nice sunny day to enjoy her again!

So I thought I'd join the forum and see if I can pick up any improvement tips? The chap who owned it previously bought an expensive fairing but he said it badly affected the handling and he got rid of it again. Has anyone got any good experiences with fairings for this bike - it's a 1995 model.

Thanks and look forward to exploring the site

Mark

Thanks Jake the links will come in useful I am sure! I think I am happy with the bike naked for now but that may change after a bit of touring?

hello there ,when i bought my bike , it had had a powerbronze full fairing fitted to it and the owner gave me the fairing with the bike,i actually refitted it and found it ok, but then i bought a naked 600 revere as well, and as my son and i were going off to europe,i took it off and fitted a small screen just to keep the wind off a bit.i do find that the windscreen noise is worse with a screen than not having a screen at all. the full fairing certainly kept you drier , but it makes the bike bulkier and i dont want that,so it,s off to france again in a couple of weeks with my son on a naked ntv.
