2027 RW350 and RW700 Adventure Scoots

[Arsey]

Sneak preview.

Not my cup of tea

Where’s the storage for white stick and Labrador ?

More info here

Motobob’s take on it

 

[Arsey]

The 700 also comes in Twipple Black and has backlit switchgear and a TFT designed this decade for those of you thinking of upgrading from your GSA ( @grantmac )






Underseat storage looks limited to pillion seat




Shame they didn’t put the CP3 triple motor in it

 

[grantmac]

Nice looking scoot as a second runaround. Don't like the front. Looks like the ''preying mantis'' form of the KTM.
Upgrading..... you smoked your lunch again.....?

Yeah the front is all wrong and the quad lighting looks odd . Thought you’d like it

 

[grantmac]

yup, dont like the headlights at all......

I like it
Tubeless wheels from the start
I’d buy one and the CP2 motor is great - maybe better than the NC750 in the XAdv (Honda do seem bland)
Looks way better than the XAdv that’s looking a bit dated now
Yamaha are building some great bikes at the moment compared to the dullness from Honda

Yamaha for the win in 2027

Best Adv scooter on the msrket

 

[Arsey]

Game changer right here




Always wanted a bike with Texnature design ? The wait is over

It is quite interesting .
Power is 68 bhp which is 4 down on the Tenalady but 10 up on the X-ADV

Wet weight is 224 kgs which is 12 kgs less than the Honda .Still will sound heavy to some but these things carry their weight low .
The Explore version is well equipped with heated seat and grips as standard . Plus rider pegs which are extra on the Honda.
It’s got fold up foot boards too





Pricing will be interesting . Bet it’s a grand more than the Honda at £12500 ish .

Any cheaper and it might do well, though that front end styling is challenging in the pictures . I’ll certainly try one though .

My X-ADV is no slouch and this should fly , being faster and lighter .

At £12k ish it will sell well

It’s certainly eclipsed the XAdv in most areas
Less weight
More power
Better suspension
More tech and backlit switches
Great CP2 engine which is loads better than the older Honda NC series

Yamaha will storm the Adv scooter race

Honda better sharpen their efforts for 2028

330

 

[leadfarmer]

Separating the CVT on the 350 makes sense but the bike looks huge

16” front wheel, gonna be fun finding tires

The 700 is just a funny looking motorcycle

Maybe they’ll grow on me

At least they’ve found a use for all those CP2 engines lying around

 

[richh]

CP2 engined scoot is a good idea.

Not as nice looking as the Hondas though.

Far better engine than the Honda NC engine as well you know having had a R7 for 10 minutes

I predict your XAdv will be sold soon and you will be riding a RW 700 Explore in 2027

You read it here first

 

[Arsey]

The challenging looks are not helped by this carbuncle sticking out




Looks better without

 

[richh]

Yeah it's a bit too swoopy droopy. Not angular enough.


Much less of a step thru than even the big Honda.

Will be interesting on the price and how it sells . It’s certainly not pretty

 

[richh]

They're gonna have to be pretty aggressive on price that's for sure.

I wouldn't say never, if it was cheap enough. But they will no doubt want a premium as it's somewhat aligned to the Tenere range.

 

[Arsey]

It’s a belly rest

 

[MILLE_RIDER]

The CP2 engine will perform better than the 'half a Honda Jazz' engine in the X-ADV which I have always found a particularly boring lump. Personally I think both the Honda and Yam look like a dogs dinner as do all of the 'adventure scoot' concept. At least the Yam looks a little different to the rest of the crowd
