    Thanks Paul. ...love your videos. I'm a scooter guy for one reason: how could anything be more "lean?" The power of a motorcycle built into the functional convenience of a scooter. Thanks Honda. Now bring it to the US!!!!!

    Nice moto-scooter. I like it. Sadly, it hasn't found its way across the pond to North America ...not even for 2019. Good review.
    And I see you're a Five-Finger shoe guy. Cool. :)

    This bike is beautiful! I just wish more companies would make bikes with lower seat heights, or sell custom seats for shorter riders with their newer bikes being able to conform if need be. I can't think of a single high displacement motorcycle that isn't shorter than 30.7 inches and isn't a cruiser. It's basically an untapped market so someone has to do it! Lots of female riders out there that are short.

      I'm guessing its because the NC750 is here and they wouldn't sell a single one if the X-ADV was available.

      No even close but I told them they’re making a big mistake not making it available in our market but I’m sure they do their market research and they know what they’re doing but I made a strong suggestion.
