Would buy the X ADV but I don't want to ever in my life clean and lubricate the old fashioned dirty chains anymore. Wait for a belt driven one over 50 HP.
kymco looks very good, but still Honda will sell most with its ADV 350
In defend of Kymco's design, I think it's the most intelligent among all manufacturers for one key point: That stretched front toward your knees. Even Honda neglected a proper knee clutching point (advertised as clutching…the damn seat). Funny dogsh!t, until Kymco's fugly design addresses this.
Function over form, for once. I thanked Kymco truthfully for making the most intelligent design: an ugly ADV Scooter that works.
Give me that x adv so I can go grocery shopping down our crazy roads
Today we are revisiting the topic of adventure scooters to see how Honda ADV lineup compares to its competitors. Which of these is your top pick?
