The X-ADV is still a scooter, but thanks to the higher stance and Honda's DCT system it offers a dynamic and fun ride that other maxi-scooters can only dream of. It's engaging to ride and will handle light off-road work should you fancy it. The biggest stumbling block is the price. At £9,599 it's firmly in the territory of 'proper' adventure bikes such as the BMW F800GS and Suzuki V-Strom, although in reality Honda's X-ADV is a very different proposition to any adventure bike.
