The ADV350 Upgrade : X ADV750 vs NC750X - Which one?

If you're on a HONDA ADV350 and wondering whether it's time to step up, OR you're weighing the X-ADV 750 against the NC750X and can't quite decide — this one's for you. Two of the biggest questions that landed in the comments after the X-ADV 750 review last week — tackled properly, in one honest comparison. The Upgrade Question — Honda ADV350 to the X-ADV 750. More engine, proper DCT, cruise control, and real motorway capability. But also more weight, significantly less storage, and a lot more complexity. The upgrade makes complete sense, just not for every rider. We go through exactly who it's right for, and who should stay put. The NC750X Question — X-ADV 750 vs NC750X? Same 745cc parallel twin. Same DCT option. A £3,000 price gap. The NC750X is lighter, lower, and has better range, so why does the X-ADV still feel like the more complete machine? We work through it properly, head and heart, without fudging the numbers. No wrong answers here. Just the right answer for where you are in your riding life right now. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly reality-check riding content throughout 2026. 🎥 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL ☕️ Buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/backinthesad...
