With the X-ADV, Honda was very brave and took the plunge. The idea of an off-road scooter is a completely new one, but the idea has worked. The appearance of the X-ADV is powerful and gives you the feeling that it can go anywhere. The propulsion is also right. The DCT transmission works excellently with the two-cylinder and makes the Honda X-ADV an excellent all-round scooter.

The Yamaha TMAX is still an arrow-quick riding machine in 2017. It remained true to its line and offers motorbike riding performance with scooter comfort. In the current vintage, it now finally has more storage space. The drive unit has been spruced up with lots of electronics and feels fantastic. A real top product at a premium price.
