I drive this one, almost a year now. Went for a drive with my cousin and his girlfriend, he drives the 2009, 200 hp, Yamaha V-max,
she drives the BMW K1300R, absolute beasts ! But my X-adv keeps up just fine, takes corners much easier then that v-max.
When I take a passenger with me, there's so much space in the back, that pillion doesn't even touch you !
Great touring bike, not a missile though like you said in your great review, and indeed that very unique design, people ask you questions about it all the time.
Is it a bike or a scooter, well, for me it's a bit of both, take it to the city, leave you helmet under the seat, or take it for a 400 mile drive to the hills, this thing does it all !
If you drive in the dark a lot, I would recommend the optional lighting, stock lights very vissible, but not that powerfull in the dark.
thanks for the kind words Marcus. Glad you enjoyed the videos. It is an awesome bike indeed, and we thought it was a little of both, a scooter and a bike too. Will keep up with the best of them and can honestly say its the best (scooter/bike/crossover/adv) I've ridden so far... love the looks too! Ride Safe buddy :)
bro you have one awesome cousin and awesome adv bikes cheers !!
It's definately a MUTANT. It's an X-adv like X-men after all. I own one, and loving it. I did 6000km's in 2 months since I got it and that was WITHIN city limits, and during a weekend-quarantine. And with the summer coming up, it looks like I'll be making no less than 25-30K kilometers on this in 1 year.
I've had my XADV for 12 months and it does exactly what it says on the tin. Excellent bike it gets more attention than my Triumph 1050R.
It’s a fab bike indeed and looks amazing :)
They don't come in tins. You are obvioulsy lying.
I test rode one recently and concur with your comments. Honda first mobility scooter /motorcycle with attitude, I loved it!
In Finland the price is 15500€ inkl.all taxes. But i,m very happy with my X-ADV 37000 KM in 2,5 seasons,twice Finland -Spain costa de sol,no problem at all💙💙
I currently ride a BMW K1300GT and I was impressed with this bike. it brought back flash back of my old GS adventure. Would definitely consider it for touring or commuting or just for the fun. And it was even comfy for the pillion. Great little bike with lots of potential. DCT was brilliant. Really hard to fault this bike.
GREAT review guys! As an ole biker with an overwhelming urge to get back on a bike I have been searching for a auto gear scooter (I'm a left leg amputee), and this is THE ONE for me.
HOPE you don't mind I share here but there are more videos of off road demos. of the X-ADV. Clearly need to develop a whole lot of experience before going wild, but off road places not out of reach.
Awaiting delivery of the Forza 750DCT in March 21 exactly on the same concept of the ADV.
I have a Honda ADV150 with about 3,500 miles in the first 9 months and its brilliant but sadly a bit underpowered compared to the X-ADV. Milage is about 100 MPG though. The 150 is fantastic around town and will cruise at 60 all day. But...PLEASE Honda, bring the X-ADV to the States. I'd sell my F800GS and the ADV150 and pickup one of these in a heartbeat. I'd keep the R1200GSA for the adventure touring though. Thanks for the report!
Came across your channel wow 750 gotta love it, i have the ADV 150 and love it But this will be my next bike for sure. i just hope Honda will have it in the US Must Have . :)
I HOPE and Pray it will be available in the USA!🙏
I wish this was offered in the USA!
Finally a REVIEW i was looking for .. xadv is a done deal
I absolutely love the look of this . And I’m looking forward to test ride
Just bought a 2018 version and am waiting for delivery. I've owned a 650 Burgman before and I loved it except that it was awkward for me to manoeuvre at walking pace (because of where I garage a bike). The x adv is great to ride and a lot easier for me.
I just sold my R1200GS for one of these. I'm receiving my 2020 X-ADV in about a month. Can't wait. Good review. Thanks guys.
Are you happy with the xadv? I want to buy this summer
@@EindjeEmre I definately love it. It's the only bike I'd re-buy. Extremely frugal , extremely comfortable, with enough power where you really don't need anymore, with off-road capabilities beyond my expectations, and looking as good as hell. Only advice is try not to crash it. I had a small accident where I broke a few parts from the front of the bike. And the repair cost is equal to 2/3rds of what I paid for the bike.
Excellent revue. I would argue this is a dct auto bike with rear hand brake and foot boards, both more comfortable IMHO.
Thought you were going to break into song - "blue hue" (blue moon), disappointed you didn't.... :). I'm keen as mustard to get one, even though here in Thailand it's nearly £11,000 due to the crap value of the pound at exchange. Need to hire one for a couple of days for a proper trial as you can't get a decent test ride here, I was only allowed to run up and down the car park, never out of 2nd gear!
I hired a Honda Forza 300 as a trial and then saw this, no contest, the XADV didn't feel any heavier, and the extra power would be useful on the mountains. Almost tempted to jump in on the strength of your review. Appreciated your honest opinion coming from a traditional bike rider. Thanks guys.
I own an NC750D, which is a heavily faired version of an NC750X....the XADV shares the same pipeline of NC series and no it's not that small or light but....it is COOL. I bought my bike in 2019, but i drooled over this one in 2020.
When the picture of the bike came into the vidro from the right, it scared me half to death.
I was looking at your video, because i saw the motorcycle in a Honda 2018 motorcycle convention video.
Wanted to see the motorcycle in action.
Same here, I almost had a heart attack!
Jojo Crazy Cat Same!
Jumped out of my chair!
2 things i love ... 1_ you fit in . form going to work caffe or adv .. with athere bikes . 2_ look at ( x end ..or fixing the bike to suit you ..look in youtube .you cant do that with athere bike . like afrca or gs or sport bikes . it rock
Fantastic road test, that bike looks just what I've been looking for,going to try one as soon as this lockdown is over.
Honda quality and reliability just can't beat it.😄
Honda PC800 rear foot pegs recessed into the fairings. An early 90s Honda fully enclosed bike. I owned 2 of them, awesome at what they were supposed to do, if a decent one came up I might be tempted again.😀
I can't understand for the life in me why they can't put the rear break on floor pane, you you can use your foot, like the Yamaha 180 Riva did back in the day.
Think this will be the bike that will get me back on the road, there after market foot pegs so you can stand up for mild off road use, ideal for what I want to do, back and fore to work, road trips around Europe.
hey buddy, this is an amazing bike. really looker and boy does it go! you wont be disappointed at all im sure. ride safe
Look really smart and I hope.to get one next year
Looks like a great scooter, same problem as US, not available in Australia, where it would be perfect.
I would buy this bike if they bring it to Australia 🇦🇺. I’m surprised they haven’t considering they gave Australia the adv 150.
Speaking of a decent horn, the Denali Sound Bomb appears to be outstanding. Even if the scooter owners had to replace their own, it shouldn't be nearly as expensive as having a crash because their horn wasn't heard by the other driver. Apparently the Denali costs less than $100 here in the States.
Great video as always lads. I've got the NC750X with DCT and it's great! As an aside you can get top boxes and siderails for panniers for this bike. Keep them videos coming! Thanks again.
Hey Mike, thanks for the kind words, as it really does mean a lot to us both. Glad your enjoying them. The X-ADV was certainly a fab bike to review and full of fun too
How long have you had the NC Mark?
Love all your videos. 👍
Hope your channel grows more and more. ... and congrats for the 4k subscribers.
Hey buddy, thanks for those really kind words, it means a lot to us both. 4000 wow! We are amazed :)
Excellent review, mate! You guys are doing great work! Really considering this bike for whenever I’m in the Philippines as the road infrastructure there is limited and may have to do some occasional dirt track riding. Plus it just has that cool factor to it. Stay safe, Lads.
Hey buddy thanks so much for the kind words. It means a lot to us both :)
A fab bike indeed and will be right at home for your trip :)
Comparing a burgman to the X ADV is like comparing apples to oranges one is luxury street bike and the other is an adventure sport scooter designed for off road as well as one road. you just can compare the two in any category.
I like the space under the seat.
I hate having to carry my helmet every time i go places on my bike.
definitely, a great asset to have on the bike, that way you don't have to worry about carrying it. :)
Great review, it helped me to make up my mind, I rid3 one X-ADV. since one month and it is awesome! 100% agree with your review,
thanks buddy, glad it helped... :)
you guys get all the cool bikes........be nice if Honda would try selling this in the states.
Just got mine.. Awesome bike coming from a KTM Superduke 1290R..
This scooter won 2019 Gibraltar rally potatialy amazing off road... Have look what the italian guy done to it....
Great review. Do you know whether differently styled seats are available now? If that was sorted it would make a terrific tourer. Thanks to you, I am now sorely tempted. Your enthusiasm was infectious!
¨Wonderfull review. This might be the one for me.
Thanks.
Great bike
I wish Honda would bring these to the US. So far, there's no information indicating that they ever will.
I hope they do as they are Fab!
@@RiderCamTV I would part with my second burgman the second they start selling this in CANADA !!!
Good review Toby/Mark, I borrowed a NC750X DCT when my Crosstourer was in for service and loved the engine. In terms of the DCT, glad you liked it, I love it on the Crosstourer, clever technology!
Hey Craig, thanks for the kind words. Its an awesome machine and certainly full of surprises too. really enjoyed this one.
Hey Craig, what did you think of the NC given you’re used to the CrossTourer? Enough poke to have fun? I’d imagine the DCT would be a massive benefit on a relatively low output motor.
DervMan I loved it! Borrowed one again for 5 days and couldn’t keep
Off it, took time off work to ride it more, and it has plenty of poke.
Craig Thompson That's it, I'm booking q test ride at Fowlers this week!
Great stuff :)
Love Hondas DCT and loved the riding position once on the *Mooter , but there lies your problem? If your short in the seam then these are a real pain and really awkward to get on and especially off, owned one for two weeks and got shot of it for that real reason...Pity as apart from that it was a great machine.
* Mooter because its not a bike and its not a scooter.
I think honda should forget the adventure side of this “scooter” . Just keep that side of it
As a styling excercise. I would never ride it off road and no one else I’ve spoken to would.
Put a belt drive on it and a better screen and I’d have one in a heartbeat .
it absolutely is just a styling exercise though
Nice review. I have a Honda 300 Forza and love it. This one has a hefty price and hefty weight along with some hefty depreciation! Scooter with a chain, no thanks. Cheers.
splodge 57 great scooter been looking at one the new forza 300 is due out soon
It's a Honda 90 on steroids lol .However it's well over priced
A really good, informative review of a great new concept of bike; have to agree that it is a good looker!
Hey Peter, thanks for those kind words :)
It’s a fab bike indeed. Ride safe
I wish this was offered in Australia for under For under nine grand
I realise that you chaps live on the edge of the universe, but I am SO surprised that you didn't know that Blue Hue is the great grandson of Barney McGrew. So now, you do ; ))
Hahahahaha,
Great review! Love your voices and enjoyed your styles. Take care!
Thanks to you I ordered this bike.
Great review
hey Petr, thanks for the kind words. great choice too!
thanks for the first review that takes account of a pillion ,, and having seen the angle of your knees, my mrs wont like that at all ,, the X ADV idea is great but as usual its too small for adults , will honda do an 800cc or dare i dream of an 1100cc africa twin engined one ?? give us a great big one that takes 2 adults in comfort and im at the dealers with cash in hand
Great review, thank you. Please how tall are you? Want to know if stock screen will be enought for me (186cm). Thank you
Mirek about 1.80m
You guys are awesome, loving the channel. Like a couple of old biddies in really nice biking gear, great chemistry between you guys. It's a shame they don't sell this in Canada I think my wife would like this bike. I had a hell of a time finding an automatic bike or her to learn on, eventually found an Aprilia Mana 850 with 1900km on it that was 8 years old. Is this the same engine from the smaller adventure bike NCX 750??
Hey Colin, thanks so much for the kind words as it really does mean a lot to us both. We loved reviewing this bike as it was certainly fun and full of surprises too! Not sure about whether its the same engine as the NCX 750, although it probably is, just with a few tweaks. Ride safe on those amazing Canadian roads... :)
Why I got rid of my Honda 750 DCT ... Horrible chain maintenace every 600km (500 miles) (4-5 days commuting) and worn out every 20 000km (15 000 miles), noisy, dirty, oily every day.; No electric windshield for rain and muck in highway traffic and trucks on wet roads; no cruise control speed hold function; No big orange fuel warning light to flash at you when you hit fuel low reserve, so you forget and run out of fuel on the motorway !!! every 2-3 days. ( also mine did not have Ice warning or TPMS.) I think new ones have now.
Interesting format, but can't see it selling well in the UK, too expensive!! I like the idea though.
can't see it selling well in the UK,,,, seems to be doing ok 4 years on :)
Really good review guys..lots of detail.
Hey Michael, thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it. Ride safe ;)
Top review. I have been looking for something that will do a trip from the UK to Gibralter next year. I currently ride a 2008 Ducati Monster 696 and was contemplating a move up to the 950 S Multistrada but I think I may have been tempted to switch to one of these. The only thing its missing is cruise control. Perhaps Honda will fit one in the future ?. Anyway Thanks again.
I just subscribed. Thank you for your review sir. Sadly, I don’t think these bikes will arrive in America anytime soon. Even though they just jacked up our gas prices. Please give us your measurements - how tall are you and what is your inseam. Thank you again
We are 5.10 and 5.11 with 32 inside. Ride safe
Better choice than the Suzuki Burgman Executive 650 for strictly commuting?
MARK AND TOBY I cant stop laughing you must hear this video at 26.35 - 26.37 You both will laugh too, its sounds like Toby Farted (Tore one off) When he sat in the Pillion Position... I was in Hysterics, you will be too....Play this video through those timings and you will laugh too..... Ha ha ha ha
it was funny indeed.. no farting took place hahahahahhahaa
Is it really a scooter? I think it’s more of a bike than say the Burgman.
17” wheels are fairly standard sizes on most road bikes
Very right mate. Much more of a bike and it’s awesome! ;)
They define any motorcycle with a floorboard a scooter, which I disagree.
How is it for long trips, is it comfortable or does it fatigue you? Burgman has more storage but I think less fuel economy.
Yes it is comfy, I have a friend who tours on one. They also have panniers… Ride safe.
Watching this a second time. Lovely bike/scooter; I just wish it was 20 kilos lighter. Regarding the horn, I now own a Can-Am Spyder F3-S, and the horn is like a cars, so why can't two-wheelers have 'car' horns?
fantastic little bike; weight: 238 kg; what do you call a 150 kg bike?
Very good review. I too found the bars too close especially on the 350.
Question for owners, are you happy with the old dash or prefer the new one (as on my XL750)
Am seriously thinking of getting a used one. I love the X-Centricity of this mutant.
...great video! how tall are you?
5’10”
That is how to do a great review 👍
“Flash the lights” followed by a look of panic and confusion...... so so funny. I reckon you guys should present Saturday Night Takeaway now they’re looking for new presenters! I absolutely love your videos but one day you’re going to cost me a lot of money 😱. I really like this bike but struggle to justify the extra £2,500 over the NC750X which has the same engine/gearbox.
Hey mate. It was so funny as I had a brain fart and struggled to find them. Hahahha.
Now you could be onto a things there. Saturday night with Mark and Toby. Hehehe.
I've ridden both ( MY 2017), I don't know why, but the X-ADV feels different, particularly at higher speeds the X-ADV is much smoother and relaxing which might be due to more wind protection, it also had a higher top speed 117 vs 105 (same road, same day), which is strange given its wind protection. I'm not absolutely sure without checking the specs, but I think the X-ADV has a higher rev range, also, the centre of gravity is likely to be lower due to its smaller wheels.
Very interesting matey, might be as you say higher revving etc.
Ride safe :)
Flash the lights? eh.....hahahaha! Very nice.
I have the burgman 650, and thinking now of changing to the X-ADV . would this be fine for going as far as spain , portugal ?? ive done it on the burgie 650 with no issues . Just wondering if this would be okay ?? dosent seem as substantial as the burgie ?/ great viedo !!! thanks A..
I think so? Ride safe
Hi!from Finland to Costa del Sol Spain,comfortable touringbike.
hi Mikael, welcome :)
If this was shaft drive, it’d be fantastic!
With you there. Although still a fab bike :)
Or belt(s)
A shaft would make it prohibitive. It's overpriced as it is.
Nowt wrong with a chain la!
Great review
only in my dreams..
What driver height would it take please.
At least up to 6,2" according to : th-cam.com/video/3zqvz3VlcY0/w-d-xo.html
X-ADV The missing Link!
very possibly. its an awesome bike indeed
I have a Honda 300 scooter for around town and a Honda VFR 800 for weekends with the boys, would this bike combine the two. ??
Jeff Rawe yes we think it would.
What jacket its that , m8?
a Klim Kodiak
Great review, one question though regarding the seating position and your height... how tall are you? I haven't seen one yet at the local Honda shop here in Thailand, but I'm looking forward to see how well I fit.
He is 5'10 or 177cm
1dobo Go to Honda Big Wing dealer, not your regular Honda (scooter) dealer
It’s a nice bike or scooter lol I did a test ride of the nc750x dct I can see the apeal of the dct I looked at this bike buts it close on 10.000 in the uk with delivery . I could see no good deals on pcp either a good alternative is the nc750d integral scooter it’s the same bike as the nc750x dct but in scooter for also it’s around 8.000 in the uk with sum pcp deals only down fall with this bike and integra is no real storage the integra does not have storage for a helmet so a back box would be required but in the uk how often do ppl go off road do in my opion the integra with better wind protection is the better option
Agree with you. Although a great bike :)
RiderCamTV hi would be great to do test ride of integra nc750dx regards lee
Hey Lee. We will see what we can do ;)
Do a review in London to see what there like for filtering
David Cameron1 Ha! That’s a 260 mile trip up the road for us, would Truro do? Ride safe
eek! that would be fun!
love you guys. just a joe blogs review
Thanks John. We try ;)
very good video! how tall are you? was it comfortable for your size? and do you bilieve it will be a nice choice for someone 2.02 m? (6.6 feet)
giannis georgiadis I’m 1.80m and had no problem. Take one out for a ride, you will be surprised. Ride safe.
nice looking bike bit pricey !! but at speed does it have enough for overtakes ?
Hey Neil, thanks for the question. It is awesome and has lots of 'poke' too! More than enough for overtakes indeed. Ride Safe
How is a 750 little? And it isn’t a Scooter, a lambretta is a scooter
🙄
Thank You Guys for a nice Review
If you are 6feet 2inch 185 cm tall it is actually not a machine for you without getting a lot of pain in the backbones
the seat are too Short and to wide, and after 300 km ride you get a lot off pain in the ass 😖
With the transmission sound from this bike you need a closet helmet not to hear the down gears from the camshaft to the gearbox .
With an open helmet it sounds more like a Russian tractor Quite annoying actually,
hate to say it but it is the same with the 750 NC
I had mine for 6000 km (6 month) and now sadly sold it for an Africa Twin 2019 DCT
Check the link below for hearing the raw sound of the X-ADV 750 👍
th-cam.com/video/7pV21qEmV7g/w-d-xo.html
How much bigger is the Honda xadv motorcycle than the Honda Integra
comparable in size, although the ADV is a little longer i think while the Integra is a little taller
Hi, i really need your help please. I am looking at the Africa Twin, the Cross tourer, versys, tracer and so non, but this has really caught my eye and i love quirky, but would i regret buying one of these because i should have bought the Africa twin. I think what i am after is a bike that will do long distance i.e trip to Barcelona next year and some fire track roads. Would love to have a chat. Kind regards, Simon
Hi Simon, they will all do what you want it do to in terms of long distance etc, but will depend on if you like the style of the bikes, seating position and comfort. The performance on all of the bikes you mention is great, but the seating position is slightly different on them all. Although they are all sit up and beg type seating, there are so many things to think about when comparing so many. the best way is to try them and see which one meets your needs while trying to allow your head to rule the wallet... so hard to do, but for long distance as well as daily rides, they will all perform admirably. Hope this helps
Thanks for getting back to me. I loved this little adv scooter, but it was a moment of madness, largely due to your enthusiasm for it, which is why i wondered if it was genuinely something you might have considered. Anyway, i have done what i should of done from the start and reserved an Africa Twin this weekend. The AT will go absolutely anywhere extremely well with a lovely amount of power, plenty enough for me.
Love the bike but that price is astronomical.
It has off road ability
Gas tank way to small only 260 Km per tank, My Versys X 300 has a 17 liter tank and can get 450 Km per tank. to me a true ADV bike should bet a min of 500 Km per tank of gas.
why can’t these presenters keep their hands on the handlebars for more than a second at a time while they’re riding at highway speeds?
So it is an automatic transmission?
Kind of. More semi auto as you can have it in auto modes so you can twist and go, eco sport etc and then use the shifter paddles to change gears too
This is not a scooter. Think of it as an underbone-styled motorbike.
Regarding the riding position, you could get the accessory motorcycle pegs. You can really move your feet around then.
It's a lot lighter than a GS.
The storage space is 21 litres.
How tall are you, please?
Hey buddy, thanks for the info. We are 5,10 and 5’11.
Hope that helps
Actually, I was thinking about getting one of these, but you looked cramped in that feet-forward riding position. I am 6ft 1, but with disproportionately short legs, and I reckon it would cause me lower back pain. Disappointing.
Didn’t feel cramped with my legs forward but could have done with a bit more room
I thought that at first but it was so comfortable I was surprised
Anyone else skared when picture of adv pop up on screen?
My stomach turned
Heated grips ?
think you can get them with it, but check the local dealer as there may be a spec that you can get them as standard.... :)
Honda, stop telling me about your Honda ADV DCT 750 when you won't make it available to those who want one in the USA. You're missing out on a big market. Really frustrates me to read the wonderful reviews from England...when I can't get one here in Minnesota, USA.
Its a waste you chose to cut out the off road portion of the video review. Personally thinking of getting one when it arrives here.
Great scooter but ridiculously expensive. It's basically an N750x but with luggage space in the back, but not as good looking. You can buy a nearly new N750x for nearly half the price of the £9500 scooter. It just doesn't make sense, and you really do not need this much power in any maxi scooter. A Honda forza 300 will give as much pleasure and will also top motorway limits with ease, so the only difference is the brief "thrill" of the X-Adv for its acceleration, after which you have to slow down again to remain legal. That's £4000 extra just for a 4 second-long thrill.
Yeah, but with this it's also an adv bike. You can't take a Forza on trails or dirt.
@@ENJ4321 exactly...that fingerhorn guy is completely missing a huge factor. Way over his head.
I agree a motorscooter pretending to be a "proper" bike.....it is a eh
Hi, A nice review, I've looked at a few reviews where the reviewer has raved about its capabilities, but in the end decide they wouldn't change from a bike. I'm in that predicament, I've had two long test rides and like X-ADV very much, relaxing ride etc, etc but cant bring myself to replace my Tiger 800XRx with it, any idea's? Incidentally, there are a few makes of soft and hard luggage for the X-ADV including Givi and Shad who do hard luggage and CarPiMoto (www.carpimoto.it/en-GB/48100_110093-36-Ogio-Expandable-Saddle-Bags.htm) who do soft luggage similar to that used by Yamaha.
Thanks for the kind words Gordon. They are both great bikes. Sometimes it’s better stay with what you have although the X-ADV is awesome. Tough one ;)
Ride safe
Hiya, I would think that the Honda would be the choice if bigger, heavier bikes were an issue. As long as there is luggage for this bike it would make a reasonable choice.
