I hired the 2024 version and toured around Northern Thailand on it early this year, brilliant bike. Just big enough to have some fun, small enough to navigate Bangkok traffic. It got a bit wheezy at high altitude in the mountains (like really high), but it was a blast to crank on the twistiness for sure. As someone used to a Ducati Panigale, I was blown away by this thing and deffo adding the 2025 version to the stable.
this video is the best till now for 2025 XADV, which is real test . I had used previous generation almost 7.5KM and 3 years between 2021 July to 2024 April. as you mentioned most of the updates was necessary especially Cruise control, but is not easy to understand what's the reason behind they didn't update storage especially front right one, also footrest part was not comfortable, even I am waiting the own one to come road trip to Italy from Istanbul Turkey/
You will be wanting a microwave & washing machine on your bike next. We don’t need any tablets on our bikes thanks. If you want music or maps then attach your mobile with bracket. All your doing is given the manufacturers an excuse to charge us a fortune for these parts when they fail out of warranty when you don’t need them anyway. Keep it simple & keep the prices realistic please.
@ no we need to move with the times if it was left to people like you we would still have the steam pump and the spinning Jenny, Apple CarPlay for me is a minimum requirement the maps are more reliable and it plots speed traps and hazards mind you facilities to cook and wash cloths wouldn’t be a bad idea on a long trip abroad.
The NC750X 2025 hasn't been revealed yet, but it depends on what you want. I have a NC750X (2021) and it is a fantastic bike. I have tested an X-ADV (2024) and it works great as well with similar features, but it is less "biky"/agile/fun. I believe the X-ADV is probably the best for rainy weather because of the better protection, while the NC750X is just a great bike with more fun and versability. I consider replacing my NC with a XADV for fall/winter, while keeping my fun bike (Rebel 1100) for spring/summer. Hope that helped.
@Checkpat My NC 2021 is very comfortable, but it's probably because my seat was custom-made by a local workshop. Suspension isn't great, but nothing to complain about on normal roads.
Excellent review ! Thanks ! A true unique and fun maxi scooter (far from the big plastic 'boxes' we can see everywhere in our city centers). Much more fun and cheap compared to the Yamaha flagship (Tmax of course). A deserved Honda success !
Thank you for a great and informative video. You said you also drove a Forza, so I'm wondering how it compares to the Xadv when driving? Which one is more comfortable for longer trips?
You don’t understand! There may be a Liberal that is on the fence about the bike but when he/him/she/they hears environmentally friendly, their boner pops and they will buy one.
OMG, can people stop jammering about this "is it a bike or is it a scooter" also who needs cruise control on 30km/h speed, this person has no idea about motorcycles.
Tested one and jesus, at 5'11" i was licking my knees. Engine is good, but the seat is pathetic, underseat space pretty small, windscreen is ridicolous, leg protection from wind/rain is utterly crap! Burgman 650 and bmw 650gt were WAY superior as scooters. SO, thankyou, but NO.
There is no point in being selectively angry. So you donât believe in buying fake bags, a purchase is a purchase, regardless of the intention. I personally think it's crazy to care too much about how people want to spend their money. I bought real coach, marc jacobs, and mcm. If it's more than 1500, I'll buy a replica kislux . Guess what else I have in the bank, I'm a homeowner and drive a Lexus. I saw someone on TH-cam who had tons of luxury items, lived in their mom's house, and was broke

Hi, is this a spoke tubeless version for 2025? From the photos , it looks like so but wanted to confirm!
First English video about xadv 2025 i see
Honda has my deposit for a Gold one. Love my 2021 (80,000 kilometers), but I look forward to this one
abs on and off esp for gravel must be a must have feature on their next update. Cruise control along w/ the other feature are all good

Hi, when does the motorcycle arrive in the United States brot?
No Apple CarPlay really in this day and age it just put me off getting one

@@mbingham10 hooks up to my Android just fine.
yes, I want google maps & Waze to appear on the display
Is this a spoke tubeless wheels?
Thanks for that review! Already booked black one:)
Would love to experience it here in the states. Im hoping that 2025 is the year we get to experience the Forsa and this.
Who needs cruise control at 30?
Why on earth you need cruise control at 30klm/h?
Between XADV and NC750X which would you buy? I'd go with the latter.
The NC750X 2025 hasn't been revealed yet, but it depends on what you want. I have a NC750X (2021) and it is a fantastic bike. I have tested an X-ADV (2024) and it works great as well with similar features, but it is less "biky"/agile/fun.

NC is more practical. Xadv maybe would give u more joy.
I had a NC and it was really not comfortable. Cheap suspensions. So if it is main point for you avoid it.
@Checkpat My NC 2021 is very comfortable, but it's probably because my seat was custom-made by a local workshop. Suspension isn't great, but nothing to complain about on normal roads.

I also ended up to try to fix it with a custom paddle. That improved comfort but not enough to match with the bad roads we have here in France.
I'd order one if I could be we don't get them in Australia.
I'm a Kiwi, I'd buy one if they sold them here. We miss out on so much.

I am hesitant about this one and the Africa Twin. I don’t know what to choose
Price ? I wish if you put a price...
Thank you 👏🏻
Great scooter, but not available in North America, which is too bad.
Thank you for a great and informative video. You said you also drove a Forza, so I'm wondering how it compares to the Xadv when driving? Which one is more comfortable for longer trips?
The answer is quite evident; forza 750. However x-adv can be slightly "nimble"
It looks great
Its the best scooter money can buy ever since it launched. Costs three times a normal scooter too 😂
Good choice xadv 2025 or no?
Waiting to see Honda forza 750 test
Stop talking this bushit about recycling materials, nobody give a shift about this, especially honda's customers.
You don’t understand! There may be a Liberal that is on the fence about the bike but when he/him/she/they hears environmentally friendly, their boner pops and they will buy one.
OMG, can people stop jammering about this "is it a bike or is it a scooter" also who needs cruise control on 30km/h speed, this person has no idea about motorcycles.
😂😂😂
It is a 750, pretty sure it will top 30km/h.
And you obviously know nothing about this scooter. It’s a beast of a machine. Super fun to ride.
I love it honda x adv 750
Being a Honda, It's probably a very good bike but it's friggin ugly. Sorry.

For a third of the price of this thing you can have adventure scoot from China with all equipment already included.
And the Honda silverwing 600 😎
@@alvessail4718 or a brand new Zontes 350E and explore the world with quite and comfort 😆
@@Scooterash Zontes 368G ?
@@bencheacristian9481 I wouldn't think twice. But if money is not a obstacle than Honda has their benefits, like transalp 750 dct
Beat thing is it is all in one purpose bike compare to adventure or sports bikes triumph yamaha dont made such type of bike
Its an animation
that will make me purchase, I am 2 cm shorter than you.........................

You would have to be crazy to get this over the forza 750
Why?
I wished more powerful engine
