Bike Future Research Institute Announces 56th 'Resale Price' Ranking: Honda X-ADV Takes 5th Consecutive Win, New CB1000F Debuts at 2nd

The Bike Future Research Institute, operated by Bike O & Company, has announced the top 10 motorcycles with the highest 'resale price' for the period of December 2025 to February 2026. The Honda X-ADV claimed the top spot for the 56th edition of this ranking, which is based on data from Bike O's annual handling of approximately 100,000 used motorcycles. The X-ADV, which has held the top position for five consecutive times since the 52nd ranking, features a design that blends big scooter and adventure elements. Its all-around performance for city riding, touring, and outdoor leisure has driven high demand both domestically and internationally, resulting in a 14-point increase from the previous ranking. The Honda CB1000F, which garnered significant attention for its design reminiscent of classic models, debuted in second place. Equipped with an inline 4-cylinder engine, it offers a balance of ease of use and stability, potentially impacting the large road sports market. Meanwhile, the Honda NC750X DCT, ranked 4th, continues to enjoy high popularity due to its DCT automated transmission and convenient storage space. Hikaru Miyagi, Director of the Bike Future Research Institute, analyzed the current market trend, stating, 'Riders are moving away from pure speed and horsepower toward comfort, utility, and automation, reflecting an 'SUV-ization' trend similar to the automotive industry.'
