Honda X-ADV 750 Review. Is it an adventure bike, scooter, motorbike or all 3? Big surprise engine!

We review the unusual looking Honda X-ADV 750cc motorbike/scooter.
Is this bike any good? Why did we decide to review it?
We give you our impression of how it rides on the road and off-road.
Does it live up to expectations?
Should you buy one?
How is it for shorter riders as well as giants like us?
We also look at the features, styling and how it generally performs, such as brakes, DCT gears, handling and ergonomics.
We are joined by our Manx Loaghtan sheep who were very interested in his motorcycle.

I am happy to see over the years, Mr. Darcy, and the Old Man, has evolved from a young man who likes street nakeds and young bikes, to now seeing him with a goatee older and wiser, saying 'this bike is off niche for us as we like classics and cruisers' Well, it used to be 'the old man likes these but i prefer the street naked bend over the tank looks cool for millenials one' to become 'i prefer this immortal cruiser'. The channel is the best review channel due to the Father and Son aspect, and the generational difference, which lessens as son gets older.. the generation gap lessens

I am quite taken by this and the best bit about it is you are reviewing it. You both said it's not your cup of tea but you gave it a very fair review. Enough for me to get a test ride. Sounds fabulous! Best bike review of the year so far for me! 👏

I just clicked like the video during the initial first minute just because the sheep made me smile!

All motorbike reviews need more sheep.

probably had a 100 bikes of all sorts, this bike is the best I have ever had

Here in Thailand people are much more used to riding scooters than in the UK I imagine. This model is very popular here, but not so often seen on the roads due to its price though. Its automatic transmission has its advantages when riding in dense city traffic as well.

I found this video absolutely heartwarming for obvious reasons, well done guys!

[rmower]

Seriously brilliant Video / review guys, all about the bike with engine sound, very clear speaking and no rubbish background noise / music.
Top marks. Keep up the excellent work, ✓ A +

As soon as I hired this in Madeira Portugal for five days I wanted to buy it. But I wanted style so went for the Forza 750. Traded in my BMW R1200RT. What I like about the manual mode is the you want in auto you’ve slowed down auto will change so it won’t labour the engine. I did a round trip London to Hinckley and back turn a nice 71 miles to the gallon. Also ordered the central locking top box. I absolutely Love it. Also later fitted the pair of side panniers. Did a trip to France Spain and Gibraltar then home through Madrid to Santander for the sailing to Portsmouth. 2200 miles over ten days minus two day in Reinosa waiting for the ferry. Never faulted me.

Recently rode the Honda nc750x all the reviews say it’s bland etc, but I was surprised by the engine, very torquey, playfull and zippy

[jonathanfrench]

This is the first of your reviews I’ve seen: excellent and practical comments for everyone ( is not too technical), clear sound with the right amount of piece to camera v action shots and great photography. I’ll be back for more guys.

Great video! I find your videos relaxing and informative. I love the uniqueness of it of the X-Adv. I have the ADV 150 similar a lot smaller obviously. I love it! It’s a blaster ride I can do 70 which is all I need.

I have the Forza 300 which is such a joy to ride, the Xadv is a fantastic maxi Scooter may even well be the Daddy, stick some off road tyres on it you can go off road no problem and have fun, stick boxes on you then have a tourer with ample storage, and comfort, go on the B or A Rds the Xads give any sports bike a run for its money, gearbox is incredible, bullet proof engine, great mpg, sounds great,

I own that bike in that colour, no complaints so far.

[coolstorybro]

I got one!
2019 model!
What a marvelous and comfortable ride!
Nice video!

I rode big bikes all my life, but age and injuries have caught up with me so I reluctantly brought a Honda Forza 750 (the road version). Once you get used to it it is so comfortable on long distance riding as you can move your feet to get them comfy. It is well engineered, at 110 mph it is rock solid stable even in a cross wind which surprised me. If your a member of a bikers club you may get some stick but as a person who doesn't give a damn what other people think it suits me.

[mikaellindroos]

I love my 2017 X-ADV750 the dct is fantastic never back to manual. I have 70000 km NO problem at all. Add footpegs variation for your position.

[rememberyoureawomble]

I agree with your comment about the Honda 350, that would be a brilliant bike for uk.Hopefully they will introduce it here.

[aspectcarl]

Unusual looks, not unattractive, my friend has one and he loves it, very good review.

[craiglucich]

Hey love your channel guys, can you please do the nc750x, keep up the good work
