Two of Honda’s most popular European models, the Forza 750 and X-ADV, are to get revised colour options for 26YM, bringing further appeal to the pair of premium machines.
The X-ADV is one of Honda’s runaway success stories, with the model currently Honda’s third best-selling bike in 2025 so far.
Mechanically unchanged for 26YM, both models remain built around the torquey, yet fuel-efficient 745cc twin-cylinder powerplant paired with Honda’s acclaimed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). They also retain the premium chassis features and settings that have helped deliver ‘big bike’ handling such as the aluminium swingarm operating a Pro-Link rear suspension linkage, 41mm USD front forks and radial-mounted four-piston brakes.
The innovative duo also retain their bodywork made from recycled and biomass plastics as part of Honda’s long-term aim to achieve ‘100% sustainable material usage’ by 2050. DurabioTM, the corn-based material, was first used on the windscreen of the Africa Twin, but the X-ADV marked the world’s first application of coloured DurabioTM as a bodywork part. This pioneering technique helps reduce CO2 emissions associated with the conventional painting process.
The new colour palette for the Forza 750 centres on neutral, mature colours that help define the shapely bodywork, whilst the 26YM X-ADV features a new ‘Tricolour’ special edition that pays homage to the larger Transalp and Africa Twin adventure models.
The 2026 Honda X-ADV will be available in;
- Graphite Black
- Mat Deep Mud Gray
- Pearl Glare White
- *NEW* Mat Pearl Glare White special edition with blue and red graphic set
Whilst the 2026 Forza 750 will be offered in;
- Mat Ballistic Black Metallic
- Mat Warm Ash Metallic
- *NEW* Pearl Glare White
To further individualize the bikes, a revised range of accessories will be available for 26YM, including a new passenger backrest and an Akrapovič slip-on muffler.
