Joey, I think these are two different kinds of bikes. This NC700x goes more in the direction of a dual sport, something you should be able to take off-road (as long as is a nice, even gravel road). Nothing to do with a NT or a Concourse in my opinion. I have been saying that I will buy a concourse since the new version came out in 2008, but I have to admit that I sat on one the other day and they are really huge. I have recently returned to ride my NH750 more frequently and I forgot how nice and fun is to ride a nimble and small bike for my daily commute.
