Three of Honda’s most popular mid-size models have been refreshed for 2027, with updated colour options for the X-ADV and Forza 750 maxi-scooters, alongside the NC750X motorcycle.
Beneath the new-look finishes, all three models continue to be powered by Honda’s proven 745cc twin-cylinder engine, combining strong low- and mid-range torque with impressive fuel efficiency. The X-ADV and Forza 750 are paired exclusively with Honda’s acclaimed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), while the NC750X remains available with either DCT or a conventional manual gearbox.
The X-ADV and Forza 750 continue to offer the premium chassis specifications and dynamic performance that give them a genuine ‘big motorcycle’ feel, while the NC750X retains its unique integrated storage compartment, positioned where a conventional fuel tank would normally sit, delivering exceptional day-to-day practicality.
All three models also feature bodywork components manufactured using recycled and biomass-derived plastics, supporting Honda’s long-term ambition of achieving 100 per cent sustainable material usage by 2050.
Durabio™ was first introduced on the Africa Twin’s windscreen in 2024 before it appeared on the X-ADV as a finished lower bodywork component. From there, the NC750X became the world’s first motorcycle to incorporate coloured Durabio™ as a finished exterior body panel. The innovative material has since been adopted across the Forza 750 and NC750X, with Durabio™ components now featuring on all three models.
The enduring popularity of all three models reflects their successful combination of performance, practicality and ease of use. In 2025, the X-ADV remained Honda’s best-selling on-off road model, finding more than 16,100 new owners across Europe. The NC750X has also enjoyed sustained success, with almost 120,000 units sold since its introduction in 2012, while the premium Forza 750 recorded more than 6,000 sales during 2025 alone.
For 27YM, each model receives a refined new colour palette centred on sophisticated neutral tones, enhancing the distinctive bodywork design while reinforcing the premium look and feel shared across the range.
