Can I ask if you get a lot of wind noise on yours. I think the wind hits my shoulders and sounds loud. More noise than on a naked bike.

Lovely colour. Can't believe you took the chain guard off, I've hardly had to lube mine and it's always clean. Best bike I've owned, love it. I've got the 21, the headlight's like a car! I do like that green though. BTW I'm in Stirling. Perfect bike for our roads.

I wanted a hugger to protect the rear shock. The hugger and scotoiler complement each other. Pretty much no chain maintenance now.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m keen to get one of these as a second bike. Had a NC750X before and loved the DCT gearbox. 👍🏻

I did not mention I traded in a NC750X against the X-ADV. I had the X for five years and it is a very capable bike. I had no issues or complaints with the X. I considered a new X but choose the X-ADV as something different to try. I have no regrets I the choice.

Thanks for the review. Which windscreen did you add to the bike ? Looks like it protects very well. Looking for a new screen as I am quite tall. Thanks

I have the Givi taller screen on the bike. I have realised it is the width that is the issue for me. The wind hitting my shoulders makes a lot of wind noise.

Hi there, Would you change it for the newer 2021 version as I’m looking at a 2020 older version with full luggage and other extras for just under eight grand. Less a thousand miles too.

@StayAtHomeBiker

I would not change as I have no desire for the new TFT or rider modes, I really like the original instrument panel. I would however like to see if the leg spreading fatness if the bike was improved by much. I also like my green bike.

My bike is a 2019 model. The SW Motech website has them listed as 2016 onwards and it looks like they will fit new models. Best check with them direct. I do recommend the set-up they make the bike so versatile for shopping, camping or just transporting stuff.

What about the wind protection when you ride (face, chest, arms, legs) considering you do not have the original windshield

@StayAtHomeBiker

Жыл бұрын

The protection with standard and the givi screen is just great. I switched to the givi because of the wind noise which I think is loud. The givi did not help. I think it is caused by turbulence at the sides hitting my shoulders and arms because the screen is narrow.

Just wondering why you are effectively doing the mot test when the test station will be doing it? And if it gets a fail, it’s free to restest once you fix what they find…

Belt drive would be a great addition to the X-ADV. It would really improve on the practicality and remove a maintenance task. I guess Honda are relying on the NC platform to keep costs down and sharing components with the very popular NC750X.

Not available in CANADA unfortunately!!!

I guess Honda don't think there are going to be enough people wanting a big scooter in North America. It has gone down well here in Europe but less so in UK although the reviews have been positive.

Whats your height ?

With the set-up I have you could tour for ever. All day comfort. The motor is reliable, easy to service, common parts the the NC750 range mean spares available everywhere. I should not think the worst sand or mud would be much fun with the weight of the bike. A tumble could see a lot of the plastics broken.
