in black and white at Toberonochy Quay on the Isle of Luing —
That’s the 2017 model —
and it was a good 10mph per hour quicker than the later Mud Gray X-ADV which came out in 2021 —
and appeared to be regulated to 100mph — 😳🫣🤔

Honda X-ADV750 in Glen Lyon —
In black and white – the 2017-20 model – this was my first X-ADV —
but I didn’t get on with the seat and find the later ’21 model which I am running now is much kinder to the bit I sit on over a distance 🤠
Honda X-ADV 750 – 21 Model —
With 7000 miles on the clock since last May she is going well as long as I don’t run her on neat E10 petrol – that’s when she becomes a bit ‘lumpy’ off the bottom end —
With the DCT clutches she has to accelerate smoothly from tickover as it is impossible to slip the clutch when increasing the revs .
A slight hesitation at this point gives you the feeling that she is going to stall. My answer is to grit my teeth and pay extra for higher octane E5 fuel – 50/50 E5/E10 is ok but neat E10 risks an embarrassing stall.
Somehow I don’t think that E10 petrol is going to save the planet as mpg is significantly less than with E5 so why are we being lumbered with it?
Quick edit; with the benefit of hindsight 🙃
Easy way out is to run her on Standard settings from cold these sub-zero winter mornings and switch to Sport once she’s warmed up. Simple eh 😁

And brought my own similar model home complete with virtually a full set of bodywork —
All supplied under Manufacturers Warranty. Guess who is a happy bunny —
To the Hills with the X-ADV750 —
The sun may have been shining but it was still quite cold out on the bike today —
Here we are looking past Beinn Dorain and over Auch towards the western end of Loch Lyon —
This time I’ve crossed the railway and ignored the ‘PRIVATE’ sign to get an unusual shot back to Ben More —
I thought I knew my old horse drawn farm implements —
but this one has me puzzled?? 🙄
