I nearly bought one today but it was already sold.
There are a few more I'm considering, all of which look ok but they're all a fair distance away.

I think they're cool. No idea what they ride like but they're cool.

They're a lot of cash for a scootay, get a DCT NC750X instead.
Or a nice 1198 for that money.

Re: X-Adv 750
I don't really fancy wither of those.
I could still be tempted by a CB1000R, CRF250 Rally (or a 300 if I could get one), or one of them African Twins. But I think it's going to be an X-Adv next.

I thought the red scheme initially but the grey has grown on me. And there's more of them about.

I think they look at their best with the Honda topbox fitted as per the ones I linked to.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 10:03 pmYou've changed your tune

Yes I'm aware liking scooters and topboxes probably means I'm ready for the knacker's yard.

I'd rather be beaten to death with an iron bar than ride a KLE500.

Re: X-Adv 750
They look quite good, I understand they ride well, but they were a bit heavy, and light was what I was looking for.

Make sure it's bloody well locked up!

Re: X-Adv 750
I went to a bike shop today to look at CB1000Rs and them African Twins.
I was very taken with the African Twin. I'm thinking 1000cc, Adventure Sports model, DCT......

It was like magnolia paint boring. The Xadv has the same engine but was a far better bike for me that is. Not fast but its not meant to be. Sounds nice in sport mode handles pretty well and is fun to ride. Probably why I own one.second one first one got stolen. Current one is camouflaged
One of those bike that one should not knock until you tried it.
