Why I sold my Honda X ADV !

[@retromotorbikes]

The most important thing is that you feel good with your bike and get a smile on your face when riding ;-)

[@PauloVilaça-v1f]

I sold my BMW C400X to buy the X-Adv and not looking back. Just added the extension for the handguards and nothing else. I like it simple and light. I loved the BMW, unfortunately I ad problem with one exaust valve rocker arm at 27000Km that ad to be replaced, gladly I noticed the subtle noise change and whent to the bmw dealer before potencial disaster...

[@wolfgangseifert2233]

Hallo und herzlichen Glückwunsch! Ich kann deine Argumente nachvollziehen, bleibe aber trotzdem bei meinem X-ADV. Den habe ich mir als 2019er Modell mit gerade mal 150 km vor 8 Wochen gekauft und bin, vor allem nach dem letzten Wochenende im Harz, total begeistern. Die Honda hat jetzt 2000 km runter. Ich habe noch kein Gerät gefahren, welches so sicher, so schnell und mit so viel Schräglage um die Kurven fliegt. Dabei bleibt der Verbrauch unter 4 Liter. Das Optimierungspotenzial bei meinem Modell ist ja bekannt. Machen lassen, muss ich noch die Sitzbank. Da sind 400 km und 6 oder 7 h im Sattel eine Tortour. Für 40 andere Biker mit zum Großteil viel stärkeren Maschinen (Ducati, BMW, KTM) war es jedenfalls eine Überraschung, was das Ding alles kann und zum Glück gab es es mehr kurvige Passagen als lange Geraden. Ich freue mich jedenfalls auf weitere Touren mit der X-ADV im nächsten Jahr. Dieses Jahr müssen noch ein, zwei andere Mopeds bewegt werden. Ach ja, die Tunneltasche. Bei 30 Grad draußen und strammer Fahrt wird es dadrin gefühlte 40 Grad. Alles was da drin transportiert wird, sollte das abkönnen. Viel Spaß mit der BMW und mach weiter mit deinen Videos.

[@Marc.Stones]

Vielen Dank Wolfgang für dein Feedback. Mit der Sitzbank hast du absolut recht. Ich wünsche dir weiterhin viel Freude mit deiner X ADV und sichere Fahrt 👍🏻👍🏻🏍️

[@andreasjanhoge]

The biggest error about the Honda X-ADV 750 is, that most people think that it is "half a scooter, half a motorcycle". Big Foot rests, a small space where normally the tank is and some storage place under the sattle, does not make it a scooter. A Harley Electra Glide has the same amount of scooter attributes as the Honda has. The "Swiss Army knife"X-ADV replaced my Africa Twin and Electra Glide and I never had that much motorcycle fun in over 40 years and now 75.000 km. Yeah it is heavy for 55 Horsepowers but still 140 kg lighter than the Harley, and yeah it is absolutely great for that kind of legal German Offroading ;-) Anyway I understand your position as a scooter man.

[@Marc.Stones]

Thanks for your feedback :-)

[@shogoonp.bechler4601]

Hello, I did sale my X-ADV 750 3 days ago for exactly the same reason : its weight ! I am sad to have sold it (although after having owned it for 2 years) because it’s really a fantastic motorbike but, age coming (I am 73 now) I had to be more than careful at low speed in the traffic. The day after the sale I bought a ADV 350 which is 50 kgs less and I can ride it the same way as a bike. Of course the difference is huge, but I am now more relax and comfortable, time will help me to forget 😎

I've recently bought an X-ADV but was also looking at the BMW C400. I really like DCT and that's ultiately why I went for the Honda. Apparently there's very little difference in performance between the 750 & 350 Honda ADV's. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I'm looking forward to seeing more BMW videos 😎

[@Marc.Stones]

The DCT is really amazing, a lot of fun. About performance, you are right up to 100 km/h there is no huge difference.

[@K0nst4nt1n96]

There is a huge difference between the 350 and 750. The have a completly different layout and design.

[@koendestercke]

You made the wright choice. I drove a c400gt for 39000 km comunting an that was the most miserable bike I ever had ( it broke down a lot and is very expensive to maintain) Now I have the adv. And I must admit that this is the better choice. The cost of ownership of an xadv is far less then a c400gt. I have 18000km on the xadv and only had to visit the workshop for normal maintenance.

[@kopitiamkopitiam]

Haha u make me think twice to replace my C400GT to XADV 750. Anyway, appreciate yr sincere review. Kudos!

[@K0nst4nt1n96]

It depends on what you want. The X-ADV is the scooter + motorcycle replacement. Its perfect for that. If you need a full on scooter or a full motorcycle then it might not be for you. The big plus for me is offroading which is a lot of fun with it.

[@Scooterbiker-Andreas]

Thanks for all the videos about the Honda X-ADV. Very professional with a lot of practical infos. I have my X-ADV since June this year and had before a Suzuki Burgman 650. I‘m very happy with the Honda, but you’re right. It is expensive. I wish you good luck with the BMW 👍

Yikes! 18000 euro that was a lot of money for something that is not giving you what you want. I am glad you have found the machine for you. I came to the XADV from a traditional motorcycle background so it gives me the motorcycle feeling with the comfort of a scooter (now I am getting older). Having tried many scooters and as my wife is the pillion she also had a say in what was purchased and the XADV was found to be the most comfortable, so that was that! Enjoy your riding.

[@Marc.Stones]

If you are riding a lot with your wife the pillion comfort is very important and happy wife happy life :-) Enjoy your ride with the X ADV

[@luismaka]

18.000 euros no vale vale 13.500 y ahora sale 1000 más barata

[@beowolf1960]

I (aged 63) tested the honda NC750X, the X-ADV, the Forza 750 and the NT1100 DTC in one day with my wife as a passenger (aged 67) at an expo. The most comfortable was the Forza 750 for me and my wife. But the most efficient was the NT1100. When accelerating the NT1100 felt vibrations. Not at all with the 750s. Honda's pricing policy is sometimes strange because the full option X-ADV costs the same as the NT1100. I had an Africa Twin DCT 1000cc for two years, but it was too high for my wife and too abrupt for me during acceleration. The DCT sometimes dared to chock during acceleration. The NT1100, on the other hand, is much smoother when accelerating. On the X-ADV there, the seat was thinner and the passenger footpegs were way too high than on the Forza. This is because the Forza 750 has a lower exhaust. Regardless of the Forza's thicker seat, the scooter is lower than the X-ADV. Which probably gives the feeling of more comfort but also more stability. It is a pity that BMW no longer has a 650 cc scooter in its range. The 400cc is certainly a nice scooter but a class too light for me. Enjoy your new acquisition.

[@Marc.Stones]

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I had no chance to test ride the Forza 750, think you are right about the more comfortable seating position. Maybe the NT1100 is the best for long distance touring and you get a lot of motorcycle for your money. Have a safe ride!

I have several BMW’s well three different model GS but last year bought a C400GT and love it. Although I love riding the GS the C400 probably gets more use than the rest. It rides really well, my wife goes on the pillion and finds it really comfortable as well even at Highway speeds that it manages easily. I bought mine used two years old but with only 390 miles (627km) and looked like new. Even though I’m very happy with this one my local BMW dealer has a new one and am thinking about selling this one and getting the newer version. After watching you videos last year, the other channel I bought the Shad expandable top case and find this really useful for keeping our helmets or getting some shopping. Look forward to seeing your next trip👍

Hallo ScooVenture, ich bin ein neuer Follower aus Belgien und fahre die diesjährige Honda Forza 350. Ich stimme Ihnen voll und ganz zu, dass die 750er Forza Modelle ziemlich schwer sind. Sie sind fast besser dran, wenn Sie eine Africa Twin kaufen. Die meisten Kilometer, die ich fahre, sind immer Landstraßen und Nebenstraßen und da ist meine 350er Forza mehr als zufriedenstellend, leicht im Handling, ganz zu schweigen vom Kraftstoffverbrauch. Sie geben ab Werk einen Durchschnittsverbrauch von 3,3 bis 3,4 pro 100 km an, bei meinem Fahrstil komme ich auf 2,6 pro, wenn ich gemütlich auf den kleinen Landstraßen fahre. Glückwunsch zu deinem neuen BMW, übrigens eine gute Wahl 👍 und ich freue mich auf die kommenden Videos. Grüße Erwin

[@Marc.Stones]

Hallo Erwin, mit dem Forza 350 hast du eine gute Wahl getroffen, riesiger Stauraum und dein Verbrauch von 2,6 Litern ist ja nicht zu schlagen. Die Wendigkeit auf Landstraßen ist sehr gut und er ist auch gut in der Stadt nutzbar. Viel Spaß und gute Fahrt mit deinem Forza. Viele Grüße Marc

I couldn't agree more, even though 98% people like it but we are the 2%. This made me recall when I sold my brand new BMW GSA 1250 after 6 months, the bike is 200% fantastic but I had no good feeling ridding it but scary just because it is bulky. Then I bought HD Pan America 1250 which I loved it as I have been ridding HD for more than 20 some years.

[@gordonLP]

This is a bit late, but I agree with absolutely everything you mentioned regarding the X-ADV, I do not have any back problems but, after one hour of riding on the X-ADV, my back would be really painful, I think as you mentioned, it has to do with not having t fuel tank to grip with your knees. Because as you say it can do most types of riding, I had dreams of touring with it, but couldn't face the back pain, I kept mine for one year and then exchanged it for a Triumph Tiger 800, then exchanged that for another Tiger, the 900 GT PRO, which I have now kept for four years, much nicer (the AT is too high, the NT too big).

If you want everything please try the new Tmax, it has everything for us older men. You have sporting feel, smiling face from start to finish, comfortable, storage and looks from everyone. Happy riding.

[@igor240898433]

I can completely understand your decision. I've lived in Germany for 9 years and if you really don't go off-road you don't need a bike like X-ADV. On the other hand, in Croatia, the roads are not as nearly as good as they are in Germany, especially in the cities, and this is one of the main reasons I will get the Honda, it's a perfect commuter for me personally, except the price, which is really high and a reason for me to go slightly used. P S. I have a sports bike when I want the thrills 😁 Keep up the good work!

[@simonthomas5367]

Im thinking of an X-ADV to replace my Africa Twin. I've had the Twin for several years and use it nearly every day. I've done Alpine trails and long road trips and its been fantastic. Problem is i mostly use it as a daily ride to work which is all short urban journeys. I'm trail riding a lot less. I'm riding with my wife a lot more and I think the X-ADV would be a better choice for the majority of my riding. I've tested an ATAS with the dct and loved that. Choices, choices...

I’m a viewer from Shanghai, China. Like you, I used to own a bmw 400gt. I saw your video and changed to a Honda xadv750. Have you ever considered changing to a yamaha Tmax? I also think that BMW’s seats are much more comfortable than xadv. Most of my time It's all commuting in the city, DCT will have setbacks when it is congested

[@Marc.Stones]

If you ride mainly in the city, I would prefer the BMW because it's lighter and easier to handle. I never considered the T MAX, too expensive, I would go for a motorcycle for this price.

[@山芋-d9d]

@@Marc.Stones In China, the price of tmax and xadv is about the same. After watching your video, I was also considering whether to switch back to bmw. I switched to bmw at the time because the shock absorbers were too hard. There are many potholes on the road in Shanghai. I often drive my wife, so it is not very comfortable.

It has 33hp as bmw c400, but lighter, it goes like you wouldnt belive it, faster than older 500cc Piaggios, except for top speed (bv 500, gilera nexus 500 ect), only faster scoot up to 500cc is tmax 500! Lots of underseat storage but in scoot that isnt bulky, its slick and nimble for city traffic, big 16inch front wheel, abs, traction contor etc what more would I want.

ok its thats much cheaper in germany then i understand that point. i bought my first bike that nx500 and i tought i dont need more power because i dont ride like a maniac, but now i know i need bigger engine because if you want to ride highway speeds engine rews too much in my liking on these speeds. i tested adv350 that has same size engine as c400 gt and that was reving even higher. they are plenty powerful other wise but those 100-120 km/h i would like bigger engine

[@luismaka]

Yo probé x adv 750 y forza 750 y por la posición me quedo con forza 750 total si quisiera una offroad comprado África Twuin algo parecido adv no la veo

Yes, I have to stop buying and selling bikes if I do not want to get bankrupt. Best Marc

@@Marc.Stones Understood. I always made my airplanes better than I got them. I never made money on any of them, but I sure had fun spending money on what I loved, as you are. Carry on! You’re doing great on the Zontes, (at least for me)?👍🏻 Best, R

Obrigado por compartilhar sua opinião e quando tiver o vídeo da C 400 gt gostaria de ver. por aqui no brasil vão lançar no final em dezembro mas o preço não é muito bom por volta 12.000,00 euros

I can't decide between the ADV350 and the C400X

[@Marc.Stones]

I would go for the ADV 350

Honda x is more like a bike than a scooter. Not comfortable for long trips. The height of the bar is not comfortable for long trips

Hello Marc. - That's a big surprise, that you sold your Honda scooter. - Did you buy a BMW again?

[@Marc.Stones]

Hi, yes, it‘s a C 400 GT again 😀

23000 euro is nothing ,it will buy you a mvaugusta which is reasonable ,depends on your financial status spozz

[@andreasepp7340]

Ansonsten muß ich sagen, daß Du den X-ADV ohne Probefahrt gekauft hast, wundert mich nicht... Probefahrten bei den Honda-Rollern ist ein echtes Problem... ich verstehe gar, nicht wo Honda da die Arroganz hernimmt, sich so eine schlecht Versorgung zu erlauben. ;-)

[@Marc.Stones]

Tja, sie verkaufen ja scheinbar dennoch genug von dem Modell 😉 ist dann aber für den Käufer immer ein Risiko.

[@Schwallermann]

Nun, ich habe den Honda X-ADV probegefahren, und war begeistert. Warum ging das in Deutschland nicht. Und wenn du so viel Geld ausgegeben hast, war der Wertverlust sicher sehr gross. Für mich passt der Honda X-ADV sehr gut. Hatte ich vorher doch eine Harley Road-King gefahren, die war 100 kg schwerer🙂 Bin mitlerweile 71 Jahre und suchte etwas leichteres und wegen meinen Knien, ist die Honda ideal. Auch von der Leistung, weil ich mit Freunden und Kollegen auf Touren fahre, da komme ich gut mit. Weiterhin gute Fahrt auf der BMW! Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz.

[@Marc.Stones]

@@Schwallermann Vielen Dank :-) Viele Grüße aus Berlin und gute Fahrt mit deinem X ADV

Die sind halt immer ausverkauft es ist schwer überhaupt noch einen zu bekommen.

Bmw Scooter with asian engine?

[@ArmadilloGodzilla]

A Chinese made motorcycle? How does it compare to a vespa gts300?

[@Marc.Stones]

Technically much better than the Vespa, but of course the Vespa is better looking 😁

[@cubeover]

China is the larger of the two first-rate manufacturer nations.

[@ondrejaxler5489]

Noooooo😊

[@arianakis3784]

something is wrong with this motorcycle... it is heavier than Suzuki Hayabusa. Honda has done something wrong in this

[@tadpanasiewicz8077]

Yeah, exactly. Chinese made scooter with BMW logo on it. Still hugely overpriced. Potential customer should think twice before making any scooter buying decision. Throwing money out of the window. Personally I would like to go for motorcycle which is much much better option for thousand of reasons. And lastly of course I must admit that is still my point of view only..

CVT is the most significant innovation in the motorcycling. How many kms you've run on a decent size CVT ? (>300cc)

[@STIjojoSTI]

You spemt all that money in 6 months for a scooter that you realized you dont like? In the first place you didnt ask yourself if you wanted to go offroad? Then after buying you still bought alot of acceossries. And you want comfort. Bmw scooter is best for you. Looks boring! X adv looks alot better. But for practically on your situation then I can see why you chose bmw scooter.

very interesting video- thank you very much for very informative information. so months after that - do you feel the difference in power between 400 and 750?

[@Marc.Stones]

Yes, of course there is difference in power, but the 34 hp are enough for my kind of usage

[@NoWay-xu1ie]

Have you tried a kymco ak550 ? Very nice ,comfortable, fast and handles curvey roads very good. The premium model has heated grips , cruise control and a power windshield.

[@cubeover]

I have test-ridden a completely new one. It seemed a bit sluggish from the start, but the flickering dashboard Noodoe was a total killer to my sensitive eyes. Pass. Had a T-Max 530 Ironmax 2015 instead - best styling of them all, limited edition. Pinnacle of T-Maxes IMHO.

[@turdferguson5108]

Sorry my friend, but you just made a shitty deal. The Honda might be heavier but it's a much better build bike, and nearly twice the displacement.

[@Marc.Stones]

You can see my new bike on the channel now !
