Don't they do this already -the Integra? Possibly not much lighter or lower, but definitely a street version on 17" wheels! The 2018 Integra even has some underseat storage now!

In a way but i like the looks of the xadv and dash etc, seen a few customs lowered with 17" wheels and look great hence why a street version would appeal to me more, but needs to be lighter as i think they use ship iron for the engine block plus the piss about fitting a tail tidy is something that takes hours as is suspension swaps i bet its expensive should the bodywork need to come off as is any scooter but it seems they were having a laugh designing simplicity into the bike and took the piss instead.

I did read a review saying that the fit & design of the bodywork was exquisite and fitted together like origami .....but I can't see the average garage being very good at origami!

btw I thought the design of the X-ADV's dash is very elegant and clever, but I think I'd still to nice round dials!
