The Honda X-ADV, a scooter that helped define a segment, gets a new version in 2025 with a focus on style rather than its traditional off-road capabilities.
The Special Edition, exclusive to the UK market, features a dystopian and steampunk look with Matte Gold Finch Yellow paint, making it look like an angry Pikachu in a post-apocalyptic setting. This new aesthetic approach reflects an urban vibe, far from the adventurous image seen before.
In addition to its distinctive design, the X-ADV Special Edition includes features such as front fog lights, heated grips, leg deflectors, and a console bag for essential items.
The bike retains its 745cc engine, with 58 horsepower, and is equipped with a DCT transmission offering four riding modes. Its price in the UK is around $15,900, a high price for a scooter.
Despite the update, the X-ADV might not be the best option for those looking for a true adventure motorcycle. The Transalp XL750, for example, offers a more powerful engine, manual transmission, and more accessory options for under $10,000, making it a more advantageous choice for those wanting a more traditional bike.
However, the X-ADV remains an interesting option for those seeking style and exclusivity in their scooters.
