Here there and everywhere
Looks interesting, would make a great touring bike with the full luggage option.

Is this just a face-lift or is there any technical changes??

A far few changes to engine, gearbox, electronics, lights and tft screen. New parking brake location too. Shame they didnt go the full hog with cruise control and heated seat. Rode one for a few hours when they came out and was very impressed. It’s not really a scooter, just looks a bit like one, rides and handles really well.

I quite like the look of these. Will try and get a test ride once the new model arrives at dealers.
 
Looks like you can stand up now. Was amazed that you couldn't when it was launched as an adventure scooter. Always liked the looks. Pricey though.

You could on the original, but you had to buy the optional footrests.
 
Nice concept, but don't really see the practical advantage over something like a Versys 650 or Tracer 700... heavier, less power and significantly pricier to boot. I suppose it could be useful for those with mobility issues who can no longer get the leg over :nenau
 
I bought an NC750X DCT on a whim in 2015. Its a gem of an engine. Not the most powerful but really low revving and incredibly economical. If have another.
 
Traded the Bonneville in for a 2020 model with only 101 miles on it yesterday heated grips Honda 50 Ltr top box £8699
collect it Tuesday was going to go for the new one but they wanted £4500 on top of the bonnier with 5 other bikes I didnt really want another £4500 out, this one was the bonnie £2000 thought with 101 miles on it couldnt go wrong really !!

Anyone know of a Uk based owners forum ?? (I need to buy bits now LOL )

Im sure I read recently the original XAdv is Honda’s best selling bike in Europe, hence the new 300/350 version. The European’s love it , but they have been treated to some nice kit before eg Gilera 800cc scoots that leave a black rubber line on the road on launch :) Enjoy. I would love one but cant get my feet down.

Fitted with the optional footpegs, just as you could do with previous model (Which I have)
4 more kw, but no cruise control, which is the most important thing not offered.
A lot less suspension travel.
previous model came with suspension set up for 2 obese elephants carrying 200kg of luggage.
Once I backed off all the preloads at both ends and reduced damping to minimum, it was and is a super bike.
Reckon the suspension travel was reduced to lower the bike slightly, because it is quite, but not very tall for short arses like me.
Bike has diesel like economy.
Like all Hondas, speedo is 10% out. If I had bought it new, instead of with 500km on it, I would have rejected it on this point.
 
I like the look of these x-adv, but sadly, here in London the scrotes would have it away within 5 mins. A guy in my road has one and he says thieves have tried three times to steal it. And always damaging it someway in the process...
