The NC700/750 isn't light but carries the weight very low so is a lot easier to man-handle that the weight might suggest. As long as you can use the front brake it should be fine.
I'll bear that in mind, Thank-you

Perhaps on a more serious note I'd be more concerned with right hand brake application. There really isn't much room for limited capability in that department.
This is my concern and why I'm asking to seeing can make it easier. Most of the time with the sv and planning the engine breaking is fine, but because or the pain that'd why I've not ridden as it's not worth the risk if I can't solve the issues.
