Honda X-ADV Finally Unveiled

As expected, its based on the Integra/NC750X. The big oddity is that whilst it has a 17" front wheel (like the Integra) the rear wheel is only 15"! V. strange....Not a lightweight at 238kg. 21ltrs of underseat space? Is that good or bad in reality?

Looks great. I'm almost sad I didn't wait...

21ltrs - who knows, as so much depends on the shape. The Integra underseat space is enough for a winter, but not a summer watermelon. And just too small for an XL (and probably M) helmet too - capacity 15 litres.

That said, fitting top boxes and panniers to NC tail-ends is easy.

Cheers,

HP

The underseat space seems big enough to take a full face helmet.....just.

Price? Why only 54bhp from a 750 twin? I like the look of it & being a Honda it will be a quality item but the specs are disappointing. Crap video as well, hardly shows the bike.

No prices yet. The engine comes from the NC range which was designed as a low revving hi-torque (and fuel efficient) engine, so power outputs aren't comparable with race bikes!

Mine is still on order...
I don't see the rider foot pegs like in the earlier pictures, and no mention of the built-in satnav.
The picture must have come from Honda as all the sites have only the one same picture.

To me its like for example, the X version of the cb500 models, so a 750 integra X. I hope it grows on me as I dont like the wide headlights. There's no reason why it shouldnt be more expensive than the integra either at just over eight grand.
Im not a gynecologist, but I dont mind taking a look.
