Re: New nc750x and X ADV!
I do like the new X Adv, nice bike
It is lacking in storage, but the bike still looks good with a top box (unlike the TMax)
Descent colour schemes for 2021 too,
I do have a soft spot for the gloss grey bikes...

For comparison, the Forza 750.

I would choose the X ADV out of the three...

Re: New nc750x and X ADV!
Wouldn't cleaning the wire wheels be a complete pain in the you know what??? In many ways the NC750X would be great if it had better wind protection. I've always said that Honda should a 'touring' version with a good fairing as it would make an excellent commuter / light tourer. As it is I guess I'd go for the Forza 750, but I still don't like that engine! Though I guess my wallet would appreciate the fuel consumption....

Re: New nc750x and X ADV!
The wire wheels arent too bad as long as you clean them regularly!
The TMax is still the winner because of all the creature comforts for me and the extra storage,
But the Xadv and the others will be faster, but once you are up to motorway speeds it is all a bit limited on these bikes.
I never found the fuel that great on the X Adv, its not bad, but better than the rather dissappointing TMAx (on fuel)
I would get another X Adv as they are a good bike, but I would want the creature comforts options on it and an electric screen
The main problem I have with the X adv is the width and it is very hard to get inside compared to my Tmax
You can spend a lot on an x adv, but the TMax isnt cheap either
The gloss grey looks epic imo, but Honda have called it pearl deep mud grey? Really!
But all the colours I think of gloss and the black looks good on the XADV

Re: New nc750x and X ADV!
One of my reasons for buying a scoot was that I find it difficult to get on a full size motorbike loaded with camping gear on the pillion with a one-legged karate kick .These new bikes are not scooters in my mind and hugely over priced.
