As the title really.

Looking at these mega-scoots for a sensible commuter bike that can handle longer trips. They have identical engine and DCT gearbox set ups, but suspension and geometry are very different. I have previously owned two NC750X DCT’s so know the mechanical package well, and like it very much.

The X-ADV is the bigger seller, but the Forza seems to get better reviews. The Forza is fractionally cheaper and seems to attract a slightly better discount, but not enough to move the dial for me. Resales seem similar for both, though secondhand X-ADV’s seem to move on more quickly. I will be buying new or pre-registered.

I have had a short “round the block” style test ride on both (though different days and dealers, so not back to back); but it wasn’t compelling in terms of choosing between the two.

The X-ADV has more modern looks I suppose, but the Forza looks good in the black and gold option, and both to my eyes are way better than the old Integra.

Anyone have any experience of either/both?
