So, the Honda XADV

Post by qcnr »

Is it a scooter, a tourer, an adventure scooter?
I think it at leasat looks good, but will it lure bikers over to 'scootering'.
Only seen some youtube footage, but I quite like the styling. Will probably
take a while to come over here.

From the brochure:
17" Front and 15" Rear with SUS rust resistant spokes

Ooops the page crashes if you try and look at the specifications :blush:

An interesting direction they're trying!

Hang on, that's almost the same price as an AT!
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Silly money for a silly bike/scooter type thingy . . . . . . . but I'd like to have a giggle on one, just to see how wide the smile gets :)

If it, or one like it, keeps me on two wheels in my twilight years, then I'd have one. Probably be able to afford one by then.

Looks good.

Our European cousins will buy them by the boat load.

Really not that different to a DCT NC750.

I thought they were into a winner then seen the price!

Wow. That's not going to tempt new riders. Maybe it is aimed at the twilight years.
Boo :-p
