Revenge of the scooter

What if a Honda X-ADV scooter entered a rally that began at the Baltic Sea and traversed Europe southwesterly until reaching the Atlantic ocean in Spain? And what if that Honda X-ADV scooter won the rally competing against KTM 790s, Husqvarna 701s, KTM 690Es, and BMW F 800 GSs? Sounds like pure fantasy doesn’t it?

Honda X-ADV scooter wins
But it’s not. A Honda X-ADV scooter piloted by Italian Renato Zocchi has indeed won the Gibraltar Rally. Lest you think the Gibraltar Rally is not a “true” rally, you’ll have to think again.

Pretty cool. Passed one daily while we were in Rome last month.

I has upgrades and if it has the ground clearance, only thing missing is the tank up top.

The larger diameter wheel upgrade alone would make a huge difference.
Knowing how to ride over obstacles larger then your ground clearance would also be very handy.
congrats to the rider for an excellent performance.

Looks like a baby African Twin.
I could have used that on my trip to James Bay.

What’s the range on a tank? Couldn’t find that anywhere.
