The new way of bikes?

I've never seen hard bags on a scoot. That would be a game changer for me as I am giving some serious thought to downsizing a bit.

soft or hard bags are avail...
Not much payload though...

Honda has some more feasible as OEM accessory for the Forza

Nice scooter..wonder why Honda chose to stick a chain under all that tupperware seems like a step backwards surely a belt would be the ultimate solution in these modern times

The X-ADV is heavier and has a taller seat height than my NC700XD, both of which make it a non-starter!

I recently bought a 2013 CB500F with under 6k miles on the odometer. It weighs only 420 pounds wet and has a seat height of just as hair under 31 inches. It clicks all the boxes for me!

This would be more my style too....Yoda's 500 was just fine. I just have to wonder if some newbies are attracted to DCTs as they have no experience with anything manual shift....

On the X ADV, yes, a belt does not make sense. Ask Frosty what happens when a stone gets between a belt and the "sprocket". But for the standard scooter, a belt or enclosed chain is the ticket.

The only drawback to large scooters that I see is the lack of storage capacity. Some have the availability of a top box but the underseat storage isn't comparable to panniers. The weather protection would be ideal though. Maybe I should invent the sport touring scooter and become rich!

This is a poorly written article....

That "article" reminded me why I quit subscribing to Cycle World. So Honda still doesn't bring them to the US Market?

One of Honda's Electric model possibilities (right image).

I would be looking hard at this configuration. A top box would be the minimum of my requirements. Some wind protection sure beats none.

If battery kiosks are unavailable, I hope the bike also supports J1772 Level 2 Charging.

Thankfully, I would live to see the unintended cosequences. You want an electric Generator that is powered by GAS for emergencies? Go Pound SAND! pollutes too much. And to heck with your BBQ grill! Anyone who things they can make motorcycles zero fatal hasnt seen me ride.....or seen a deer jump out of the woods.....
