I'll have a shop around after I try one for size. Said you were on my ignore list don't know how that happened. Fat fingers on a phone I guess.
There are deals to be had out there, I paid £10700 OTR, inc 12 months road tax.
Went and tried one for size on a whim today, managed to get on and off through the tunnel if you know what I mean, 4times in a row, hamstring was a bit tight 
would have been on the peg on the GSA .The seating position seemed alien, not uncomfortable just odd but I'm guessing that will be something you get used to. Its tall but not overly so, bit lower than the GS but wide at the seat.
Easy to push around didn't feel heavy at all.
Not sure if I need a test ride or just flat out go for it Probably a test ride unlike most bikes I've not bothered . Need to wait for the 20th June financially but then I reckon will get one.
Now to spec one up

Test rode one today.
Initially I thought the throttle response was a tad jerky which was probably down to my nervous attitude towards an auto box. Stayed in the normal mode but soon managed to get the hang of it.
Rider pegs are a must
Rather large deposit left, basically pay for the accessories up front.
Delivery mid July.basically this but with the smart top box added and a bit of a wiggle off the price. In mud grey - I know but I liked it

Just booked my XADV in for a service at a Honda dealer near Saint Brieuc in Brittany .
My local dealer charges £115 per hour and they’re shit as mainly a car dealer and only one slightly gash bike mechanic .
The labour rate here is €85 per hour, or about £72 !

I realise this bit of this thread is a year old, but I’m at the same juncture right now, my socket had a plug already in it, which is useful, just got get the pins. Did it work out ok with your usb power point?
Yes all good . Just stick some pins in the plug .
I used the pick up to power my USB point and ran my Aoocci off it with no issues on my recent trip

Hi ,,, can I ask ,, what do you mean by “ Pins “ - ?
The ‘ dummy’ plug had no metal pins in so got some put in
,, is that a wee kit that’s available ?
@Arsey Are you noticing a lot of X-ADV on European roads whilst tootling?
