Honda-Powered Versatility: HONDA X-ADV Custom

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA X-ADV" custom by Webike community user "Me-tan". The owner originally rode the 2023 RH10 model. However, once he discovered how incredibly high the resale value of the RH10 was, he began to consider upgrading. He realized that even if he swapped it for the RH12, added a full glass coating, and bought a new helmet, he’d still have money left over. On top of that, the RH12 came with new features like cruise control, which would improve long-distance comfort, and it was compatible with most of the parts from the RH10. It was clear that the upgrade was a no-brainer. The RH12 also improved on things that bothered him with the RH10, like the seat, which was harder to close. With the new design using two seat dampers, that issue was resolved. He also loves the redesigned LED lighting for the luggage box, which makes it much more user-friendly.

The bike already had a great twin-cylinder thrum and exhaust note, so he was initially concerned that adding a slip-on would have a negative effect. But after installing the TERMIGNONI Slip-on Silencer, the result was a slightly enhanced mid-to-low-end sound, with the signature pulsing sound remaining intact. He is thoroughly satisfied with the result, and the weight reduction was also a big bonus, cutting the weight by more than half. HONDA Pannier Cases also mounted easily without any issues.

As a fan of ultra-long-distance touring, the owner added a 50L HONDA Top Box with the convenient Smart Key System to increase his carrying capacity. To combat wind, he also installed HONDA Knuckle Guard Extensions. Together with the five-position adjustable windshield, these additions make high-speed riding much more comfortable. The slip-resistant HONDA Floor Panels were another upgrade, enhancing grip and giving the bike a sharp, stylish look.

The X-ADV blends the convenience of a scooter with a sporty, aggressive design, featuring spoke wheels that give it an off-road bike feel. To enhance its versatility, the owner added HONDA Rider Steps, allowing for an effortless transition to a standing position—perfect for trail tours.
