2019 Honda X-ADV | Swiss mountain road review | AutoReview | Episode 24 [ENG]

[@caspianprince]

15,000km review: Storage-wise it takes my Shoei full-face no problem at all. Or a big bag of shopping. Heated handlebars are almost useless. Never touched the G-button. Sport-2 feels most natural to ride open roads, D for town. Weight is not such a bother as it sounds. Headlight is also (surprisingly) useless. Does at least 290km on a tank with maybe 30km left in reserve. It is supremely comfortable and the screen adjustment is good. The change down from 2nd to 1st is annoying, and you have to ride round it but there's no really good way to do so. It's powerful enough. Get 10k km out of a rear. I side-graded from a TMax 530 to get the X-Adv. Both are totally excellent, though I wish I still had the T-Max too for winter as its weather protection is better and the heated bars were much hotter.

[@JC-vz5bz]

How is the engine? Do they have issues on durability of the engine and transmission?

[@caspianprince]

@@JC-vz5bz dunno, but mine's still going strong... feels so understressed I imagine it will still be running even when we're all back to eating rats in a ditch after the collapse of civilisation

[@aaronharris5275]

You have captured the throaty sound of the engine really well. Good microphone! Beautiful place to test and ride bikes. Thanks

[@AutoReviewCom]

Thanks a lot. I really try to capture the sound as well as possible to show the viewers what I hear and maybe even feel when riding. Happy that you enjoyed it. And yes, it’s really beautiful here.

[@mrdacaisa]

Xadv is 238kg with full fuel. My SH300 (the scooter) is 167kg. The Burgman (the real maxi scooter) is 270kg. The TMAX (the sporty scooter, the wannabe something else) is over 230kg. This xadv, a bike dressed by scooter has a average weight like others. Not so heavy not so light. A good compromise. The only “cons” is maybe the (only) 55hp. 20hp more it should be more fun...😁

[@cyberfarmer]

Top speed is 183 Km/h on straight highway on D mode with aftermarket exhaust and intake filter. With mixed use range is 250kms and fuel consumption is 25km/L.

[@AutoReviewCom]

How much was it stock without the mods? And 4l/100km is pretty good for this size engine.

[@cyberfarmer]

@@AutoReviewCom Top speed will be 175 km/h on straight highway on D mode with all stock bike.

[@cyberfarmer]

@@AutoReviewCom steady cruising between 80 to 120 can gove about 30km/l on stock bike.

[@erkutgurun]

Never heard of such low range. Most people say range is between 280-310km. Perhaps you used it on sport 2 constantly?

[@caspianprince]

@@erkutgurun Sport mode makes no measurable difference at all to range. I get 290km out of 11.5 litres (so, just under 2 left in reserve), and I ride it fairly hard, everywhere.

[@fnagdungdagint]

Definetly a bike for older riders with a fat wallet who values comfort, and who does not care about other peoples opinion 🙂 (For the record - I like the bike)

[@DusanMne1]

You said "when we expect more hp in things like these... do we need 70-80-100 hp in scooter actually". I think, YES. Because there are a plenty od people like me, who would rather have this kind of moto-scooter, and like C650GT, with wind, mud and leg protection and rest for the legs and extra space for things under seat and under steering wheel, with 70-80hp, instead of motorcycle types withous those benefits.

Great review. I own one, it's rea funny and works well for longer trips to. Btw it is possible to change between sports mode while riding

[@florimondkrins9980]

I don't really see it as a scooter. The style is deceiving but it drives like a adventure/touring motorcycle. It just has a dct gearbox so it's like an Africa twin but more comfortable especially two up. You can have side cases and a top case. it is on my short list for my next bike.

[@1990-t1j]

There is no competition for the X-ADV. It is in a market of one. The storage is big enough. 21 litres is fine for shopping, and you can fit a full-face helmet in it, but some are too big. I am getting one of these, along with a Yamaha Aerox 155 for the city. Informative review.

[@rodrigoroaduterte9415]

X-ADV is kind of a Swiss-knife of a bike :) If I ever have enough of “free” money I am definitely going to purchase one.

[@GJS-live]

Great review. I love this bike. I have a 1200GS and a Moto Guzzi V7 but I still want one. Makes no sense at all. I think it would be a very playful machine. Would need heated grips where I am and probably a top box so getting close to £12K. Shall look at mint used bikes that makes more financial sense. Cheers!

[@AridersLifeYT]

15:00 the area you are riding in is beautifull!

[@ferrysonder7051]

Great review (it's like I'm driving :) ) and great sound. Been riding motorcycles all my life, but always founded shifting annoying. Since a couple of years driving motorscooters... fantastic! No shifting and space....only a handfull are beautiful. This Honda looks fantastic! It's the only one I think is more beautiful than mine (I have a Gilera Nexus 500 White with Malossi vario...love it)

[@user-qv9jp9of9w]

You must use a giant helmet because my full face schubert c3 size L goes in there easy

Can you please make a review of the 2021 model? After watching your video I decided to buy one, but will be thankful for direct comparison

[@AutoReviewCom]

Would love to, however the season for this year is finished, winter is coming already in Switzerland and I don’t ride in the cold or wet. Next year I am going to continue with making more reviews. Thanks and congrats to your nee bike!

Your the best when it comes to reviewing cars! I always follow advice from it! Could you test drive any of the new Navigators or old navigators?

[@Ciuff2007]

Hi, sorry you say you are 1.84 tall and barely touch your feet. I am 1.78 tall and touch with half a foot without problems. Wouldn't it be better to do the test without a central stand? A greeting and good life!

[@AutoReviewCom]

Valid point for the next videos. It’s always a little compromise when filming as a one-man-crew. Cheers

[@ianduncan325]

Perhaps it’s not classed as a scooter, but a motorcycle with a different vibe.

[@TheGhostScooter]

Hi 👋. How are you? Long time no see. A happy new year man. Nice Scooter 🛵. See you next time ✌️

Hi there. Yes, I was really busy. But now I’m back on track and I am aiming for a new Video every week.

Thanks for a nice review! Have you tested Honda nc750s automatic motorbike? I'm considering buying one of these two and not sure which one, although the price for x-adv is higher.

The X-ADV also comes in automatic. Get this, you will have way more fun than the NC

Yeah, with Italian “quality”. Thank you, but no. By the way X-ADV features Italian exterior design (which is perfect) and a manufacturer who produces best engines in the world.

[@youngmike5868]

Can you review the integra please. !!!

[@AutoReviewCom]

I‘d love to but no one has one available for a review. I always wanted to ride one and see if I‘d like it enough to ever consider it for a purchase. But as mentioned in the video, I have never even seen one live in my life!

[@andreasjanhoge]

@@AutoReviewCom I have an X-ADV (2018) and an Integra (2014). They are different enough to keep both. And yes, in 5 years on roads I have seen one Integra in the Netherlands and one here in North Germany. Another reason to keep it ;-)

[@heyitsfakawma4917]

does this thing have gear

[@AutoReviewCom]

Yes it has gears but you can leave it in automatic or shift up/down with the gear buttons!

[@heyitsfakawma4917]

@@AutoReviewCom oh you mean its a button not kind a foot gears to change on........

[@AutoReviewCom]

Exactly, you change gears manually with a rocker on the left side of the handlebar!

[@Frank-mn1zy]

Why everybody is using the terminology scooter

[@AutoReviewCom]

That’s what we use in the German speaking countries. The ADV however is neither a scooter nor a motorcycle.

[@AridersLifeYT]

i wanna see someone wheelie it like a tmax

Sure, but not on my channel. For that you need to search on French KZbin channels, there they do stuff you are looking for...

[@NC700_68]

any normal motorcycle does not have 21 liters of storage. so now, you get a motorcycle with 21 liters of storage and you are still complaining about it? come on.......

[@AutoReviewCom]

Wrong, I am comparing it to a scooter, not a motorcycle. Therefore 21l is little storage.
