Looking at the promotional trailer can't help thinking once again the X-ADV was used as a design icon

Not too keen on the indicators in the mirror stalks. They're also mounted on the body instead of the handlebars: in my limited experience this usually means a blurry view.

But otherwise, looks great. Like the idea of integrating the topbox opening into the keyless operation.

Had a look at the US site. Mpg in UK gallons is claimed 87, so good but not startling. It also has traction control, but called something stupid instead.

Power is still 24hp. Weight is down but 181kgs isn't that clever.

So I don't think they have moved scooters on much, but it is a worthwhile addition and if priced well could be worthy of consideration for anyone looking for a bike in this class.

Obviously the latest move in the arms race in the 300cc scoot market - something to compete with the Xmax 300 which is getting rave reviews. Both look good.

The good news for the arthritically Challenged amongst us, feet forward is retained. Something both Yamaha and Kawasaki preclude me from, in their mid range maxis.

Yes but I’m guessing it would be a costly upgrade

Just seen a French article which says it will be priced almost exactly the same as the Xmax 300. Which means 5799euros.
