I've just swapped my Royal enfield himalayan for one and I can't be happier, the thing flies and gives about 78mpg 😃👍🏻

[@RiderReviews]

These are quality machines and great fun to ride! You’ll have loads of fun…amazing mpg too. Enjoy.

[@richardgourlay5191]

Great video. I've subscribed. Ive currently got a vespa gts300 but I love this machine..I'm gonna test ride one soon. But this will be my next machine. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@RiderReviews]

Thanks Richard!

Hi Jake hope all is well I find myself liking this on it's kind of cross over between scooter and bike it would certainly be a good run around or general purpose ride .I would think it would be quite good fun on the lanes like the color too good vlog as usual always enjoy em Cheers : )

[@RiderReviews]

I’m good thanks hope you are too. It’s certainly different from the rest this one but I do kind of like it tbh. Cheers 👍

Nice review. I had the 2018 model. Loved it. Sold it and looked to upgrade to the newer version. Placed my order last November. Now Honda hints it could be next year before I might take delivery! Some serious supply chain issues. 😞But something very appealing and fun about this interesting concept. DCT is simply brilliant. Hopefully my order gets fulfilled soon. I'm not getting any younger! Fortunately I've got my BMW F900XR to satisfy my riding needs.

[@RiderReviews]

Thanks Doug! Wow that’s some waiting time but will be worth it hopefully soon. Good to hear you can still get out on the F900XR.

[@bradleywells5703]

Hi mate, if there’s a possibility you can get yourself down to Dobles in coulsdon. They have three available last time I was in there, one in the new harvest beige colour.

[@sunrisejak2709]

@@bradleywells5703 Hey, thanks for thinking about me! But I live in Thailand! I think Honda is prioritizing Europe/UK deliveries as it's a more important market. Here in Thailand the back order volume is around 400 XADVs. The NT1100 is also not shipping until 2023. I just envy my friends from UK! 🙂

[@bradleywells5703]

@@sunrisejak2709 that sucks, I’d say the European market will be prioritised over the UK too, out scooter market isn’t as big as theirs. I just bought supposedly the last new Forza 750 and they won’t be available til end of this year also

[@colinsmith9232]

Nice bike Jake 👍, bit to powerful for me but would frightened my rock chick on the back 😄

[@RiderReviews]

She’d love it on the back very comfortable!

[@charlieboyvespa8610]

Great video. I have a sh350i...definitely worth a review , engine is a peach. Let down by awful suspension

[@RiderReviews]

Thanks Charlie I will have to try one!

[@charlieboyvespa8610]

@@RiderReviews please do!!....can I ask...between the forza 750 and x adv 750 which was the most comfortable riding position and best suspension

[@RiderReviews]

Both comfortable bikes tbh so very difficult to choose. However the X-ADV has quite long travel suspension and is adjustable to suit most situations.

[@chigglywiggly]

Yes, very hard to find a decent review of this bike!

[@lovinglifemallorca]

Hi, I’m really enjoying watching your channel..

[@RiderReviews]

Thanks much appreciated! make sure to give the video a 👍up. Cheers Jake.

[@lovinglifemallorca]

@@RiderReviews I’m in Dover at the moment for Christmas,, do you fancy meeting for making a video together? Just a thought

[@FernandoFaneco]

What sort of video are we talking here?🤔

[@1silvervespa]

Wonder if it would handle Deals Gap 318 turns in 11 miles or would it Freak out .... With so many changes !

[@RiderReviews]

Not sure on that one! But It was fairly flickable and handled very well tbh.

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

5'7'', 32'' inside leg? Would you rather have this or the NC750X DCT, which is a bit lighter but not as well-equipped - non-adjustable screen, skinny bars, box-section swingarm? I'd rather have the X-ADV as I live in Thailand, and it would keep my feet dry in the rainy season. It's a stunning machine.

[@RiderReviews]

Both great machines….however I’d personally have the X-ADV

[@1silvervespa]

Not sure I'd like the sort of Fixed seating position .I like moving my feet around on a long ride and also shifting on the seat too . ..... Think I'll keep my KLR650 . I have owned a Honda Elite 250cc . It's similar in seating to it .

[@RiderReviews]

I know what you mean, not sure how it would preform on the dirt either as didn’t get the chance to try.

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

Buy the auxiliary motorcycle foot pegs.

[@n9oqu]

It looks like a bigger ct-125 without the higher air intake and a regular suspension system.

[@RiderReviews]

Great fun to ride!

[@drdoolittle5724]

Hope you find this; went out yesterday on a 2017 model and it only had one brake handle, on the left side!!! Really got me unnerved because using brake to feather especially on roundabouts, could just see front wheel sliding away???

[@RiderReviews]

Takes some getting used to, but it’s because of the DCT gearbox so no clutch leaver on the left hand side just rear brake.

[@drdoolittle5724]

@@RiderReviews I was referring to the fact the bike only had one handle, on the left, whilst all other DCT appear to have a front and a rear brake handle?

[@RiderReviews]

Ah ok! Where was the front brake?

[@drdoolittle5724]

@@RiderReviews I'm not sure but the one and only left brake leaver I assumed did both?

[@andrewgent9334]

@@drdoolittle5724 Eh? It has 2 brakes

[@gabymotsoloc9295]

I've purchased SH Mode right after your vidoe review of it. What should I do now?

[@RiderReviews]

Are you happy with the SH Mode ?

[@gabymotsoloc9295]

I had been tempted to get SH (not Mode) for a long time as a "perfect scooter". I went for Sh Mode as it was quicker to get and REGRET NOT AT ALL. A grand cheaper because: back drum not disc, single shock, no ABS, simple display, no traction control(?), smaller old scool underseat fuel tank. I miss not a single one of them. SH looks better though, a lot better and has much better storage. On account of all the mentioned gizmos and some more perhaps that I missed is 19kg or so heavier and no way would win simple traffic lights drag race with me. Sh Mode is a bit ugly I admit. Other than that perfect "for me" scooter.

[@RiderReviews]

Nice one Glad you like it Gab. 👍

[@xdx2653]

very nice scooter,i am thinking to sell my xmax 300 2020 model for that one.what do you think?it worth it?

[@RiderReviews]

I’ve not yet rode an XMAX 300 so can’t really comment. However I was very impressed with this one and the silky smooth DCT gearbox. Didn’t get the opportunity to hit the dirt either as not my bike so couldn’t risk it plus my off road skills aren’t the best tbh. I would suggest a test ride, let me know what you think. Cheers Jake.

[@xdx2653]

@@RiderReviews tnx mate.ride safe

[@GameWinner85]

I cant choose...Stuck between Forza 350 and X Adv 750...... Forza 350 makes more sense, but this one, is also got something.

[@RiderReviews]

I must admit the X-ADV was impressive tbh Darius. Have you seen the Forza review? kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2rOmnqlmdKDrsk

[@der888]

Can you please tell me your height, for reference? You said it was a bit tricky getting your feet down😊👍

[@RiderReviews]

I’m 5 ft 7 inches tall…..it has quite a wide bodywork on this model which can make it difficult to put your feet down.

[@der888]

Thanks for the heads up.. I'm 5'6 nearly 5'7 so that's good to know. Cheers 👍

[@RiderReviews]

@der888 No problem! I would definitely recommend a test ride….there great machines.

[@deanbenson610]

Hi - how tall are you , that you struggle with ground reach ?

[@RiderReviews]

Hi I’m 5ft 7” with a 30” inside leg….but it doesn’t help that this is quite a wide seating bike.

Foot floor boards don't help your short legs either Dude ....

That’s very true haha! I’m just to short.

I'd test ride one but not buy it.

[@RiderReviews]

You never know until you ride one! Might be surprised.

ofc that scooter is double price than ur kawasaki

Too Much Plastic.

Has lots doesn’t it! Definitely a desired taste this one.

[@xdx2653]

more plastic less rust
