Unfortunately, I seem to ride less each year and am listing perhaps my favorite bike of all time (certainly the most practical.)

2010 ABS NT with some nice touring accessories:

Russell Day Long two up touring seat, built for a 5'10ish rider. I am 6'0" and 210, I find it fantastic. (I only sit on Russell saddles.) It is in great shape, supple with no tears or obvious wear.

Heli vibration reducing riser kit.

Electronic cruise control. Works fantastic. I could never have a bike without it after being spoiled by it.

auto-retracting highway pegs. Superior quality, and hinge up if you lean too far while using them, so no issues with cornering clearance.

Twisted-Throttle Denali LED lights that are Hi-Low and change with the high beams. There is also an on-off switch if you want to turn them off.

Battery Tender Lead.

Euro big cases, latches reinforced and work as they should.

Honda Case liners.

Medium sized top box on a really sweet custom aluminum rear rack (givi mounting pattern, will accept other givi boxes.)

Fuse block for all electrical accessories.

Race tech valves and recently rebuilt fork internals. Rubber gators on the forks to protect the seals.

Newer OEM rear shock installed new at about 40k miles if my memory serves.

Other stuff I'm probably forgetting. The first owner was a perfect previous owner, and put the first ~45k miles on this bike, riding it all over including from down south to Nova Scotia.

I have an excel document with the original owner's maintenance records, which include all fluids, three valve adjustments, and other maintenance. I also have a binder with instructions for the accessories, notes, and pictures.

The bike comes with the two original Honda keys, two spares, and two keys for the top box.

Tires are pilot road 4 and in very good shape.

I have kept the oil changed with Mobil 1 racing 4t and OEM Honda filters. The bike has a fresh OEM air filter, two new OEM spark plugs, and the updated good spark plug caps. The bike runs well and I would ride it anywhere. I rode it seven hours last month and it performed perfectly, as always. It handles and rides great, and the racetech front end is really good, in my opinion.

I have two new tip over protectors that come with it too, I got them as spares years ago. I also have the factory seat in very good condition.

I hate to sell it but I have too much stuff and I'm trying to simplify a little bit, and I find that I ride less and less each year. My other bike is an R1200RT and I am keeping that as it is better suited for two-up if my wife wants to ride with me.

This NT has treated me great and replaced a series of Honda ST-s, and I rarely missed them. It is in nice shape but not perfect. It has wear from boots, scratches and scuffs here and there. I suspect it's been tipped over, there are a few scrapes underneath the box lids. The black plastics are faded a little gray. But it's good to go, and with the seat, bars, pegs, and cruise, I've never had a better bike to sit on for 300 miles at a time. I frequently get into the 60s mpg with it as well, which I imagine suggest it is in a pretty healthy state of tune.

Located in Cortland NY, sort of in the middle between Syracuse, Ithaca, and Binghamton.

Looking for $2800. Thanks, Patrick.
 
Awesome! Not hard to do on these bikes, they are great for putting on miles. Ironically much more stable, quiet, and comfortable on the interstate than the ST1300, although occasionally I did miss the 115hp turbine of a V4 from the big bike.

I've owned 11 bikes over the 55 years I've been riding. Biggest was a Yamaha 850 triple. This NT700 is my all time fave.
 
The NT has been the best commuter/one up tourer/twisty road scratcher combo.

ST1300 best motor

ZX12R fastest

XB12R Buell the most romantic, favorite to ride on a perfect road. I miss it the most but it was maybe going to kill me and the ergos were pretty committed. It made a glorious sound, handled well, and smelled like Korean BBQ when you rode it hard.

KLX250 best Enduro.

I'm hoping the R1200RT can replace all of these bikes except the klx.
