Excellent real-world review . Thanks . I appreciate your efforts . I'm seriously considering one as a commuter .
Good choice! Thanks for your time watching mate. I really appreciate it.
Just watched this & it's a great little all rounder. I love them.
Thanks for the catch up video.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review! Saw this at my dealer and was contemplating to sell my Honda 400 Revo and get myself this pretty nifty ride. Now I'm certain I'll get it!
We never had the Revo in the UK. It would be a worthwhile swap though for sure!
Massive thanks for this awesome review! I really enjoyed it mate!
Can’t wait for it to be released here in the Philippines and I’m pretty sure it would be a great upgrade coming from the ADV 150.
Ridesafe always, Cheers!
Thanks my friend 👍🍻
I upgraded from the Forza, much better suspension, I commute weekends round trip 250KM, and living in France we get a 5-year Honda warranty. Great review thanks.
Great to hear! Yes I personally think it it a better scoot than the Forza. The Forza is still good though of course.
About suspension , what did you change, what did you buy ?
Great video, very enjoyable to watch. You should have more likes for it definitely. Keep up the great work.
Ahh thanks for the kind comment. Yes I put a lot of work into my videos. Thankyou for watching 👍
Great review ER I think its gorgeous and I would buy one.
Not bad at all is it James.its a good ride.
Great video, thanks. I've got an identical bike on order (not due until Feb 2023!) which I m buying without actually seeing one close up, so videos like this really help.
Ahh that's great Paul. Makes it all worth while thanks 👍🙏👍
Definitely a good option for beginners! The touring but I agree with too. Especially over there where you can go town to town on those narrow lanes!
Great review Exeter!!
Thanks KG, its a nice simple way of getting around👍
Had mine almost two weeks and I love it,
Nice one Colin👍
I have Ordered this Bike cant wait - thanks for the great Review
Thanks Mark. Good choice 👍🍻
Pick my adv up next Saturday, so excited, thanks again for the review I’ve looked at it four times 🤣I’ll send you my review and some pics next week ish thanks again 👍
Please do! Its a great scoot mate....I'm excited for you!
@@exeterrider do you think the natural progression is the xadv I’ve asked this question on the adv uk site and the answer is no , I can see me moving up to the xadv , have you done a review on it yet, I would love to see that 👍thanks again
Great review on what appears to be a cracking machine, ER. Something to definitely bear in mind for when my old body finds my Crossrunner too heavy to haul around.
It would be a good choice mate. Although compared to your awesome bike it lacks a bit of gear engagement ,bit never the less its a good scoot. I nearly had a nose bleed going over Bickleigh Bridge.
@@exeterrider I see that car drivers are still trying to re-design the walls of the bridge. You should have carried on to Tivvy and popped in for a cuppa.
@@jimsadler8704 It was quite late, but I was considering it. I had a quick photoshoot at Brundells then made my way back. Waste of time really because the Brundells photos never made the edit ha!
Very well done. I am considering one from a Burgman 400. You gave me very valuable information. Thank you from The Netherlands.
Thanks for watching! I had a Burgman 650, nice bikes!
8:01 - Here in Brazil, what you call "filtering" we say "riding in the corridor". I always wanted to see how the ADV 350 behaves in the "filtering" because I think the handbar very wide for this purpose. Nevertheless, as I could see in this video, it does well. Thank's a lot for showing us that. (sorry about eventual english fails).
Your English is very good and understandable. Thank you for watching my video. And yes the bars are wide but I still found it pretty good through the traffic 👍🍻🙏
@@exeterrider I have a Honda ADV 150. It's smaller than the 350 but
It's a fantastic bike, bought it new in 2021. Can go anywhere,even up in the mountains, even with my wife on the back, would like a bit more power, So 350 would be fantastic. Great review..
best review i have seen on these. motor cycle news liked it too. i have one the same colour since end of Feb. and my son has also one on customer order he is looking forward to. he is also having a grey one. best wishes.
Appreciate that John Thanks. Let me know when he gets it, just so I can gauge lead times for others. Thanks
I've had a Forza 300 for 6 years, my first twist and go and it's been faultless, a fantastic scooter. When I upgrade it will be the ADV or the Forza 350. Thanks for the review.
Good taste mate. The Forza is great but the ADV gets my vote : )
what's the milage on it now?
Forza also bad for leg room. It had to go !
The ADV has better suspension and a wider handlebar than the Forza.
Go for it! I have some scooter stuff coming up 👍🛵
Hope this would land here in Philippines as soonest. I've got an Honda ADV150 and I loved it so much, I have owned and tried other bikes, this bike is all rounded and easy to maneuver for city or on an open road.
I love your reviews. Hope to hear a review from you soon of 2022 Honda X-ADV150.
Ride safe 🤙
Hi, thankyou. We are not getting the 150 in the UK. Thanks for watching my videos 😊📺
I have an ADV150. PLEASE Honda, bring this bike to the US! I would buy one in a heartbeat.
Were you near Wraggerton ? Thought I knew the lanes ? Nice review.
No Exeter mate 👍
I saw my friend go by on his conveyor belt @10:50 👍🏼
You sell it well. Great review ER 🍻
*oh hello Noob 👋🏼
Cheers dude 👍🍻
Enjoyed that, thank you! So, you want a Honda auto scooter, used Integra or new ADV?
Will you be doing an SH350 review one day?
Out of what you mentioned there I would have the ADV, however I think will be alot to be said for the SH350....and 125...I hope I can review one some time.
The modern version of the Cub that you reviewed recently. These are practical and IMO not bad looking. The sophisticated electronics is amazing. For a commuter or even a light tour machine this does it all. Perfect for the fuel cost environment we, unfortunately, find ourselves. Great video, as always.
Thank you , Yes , I did a quick video on the Cub 125 , but have a full review coming up!
I wish more reviews showed u turns great review
Thanks David
Thanks for this, it’s really helpful. I’m considering a Forza 350 but now thinking the ADV might be the one to get?
I prefer it, although your more "perched" on top. It feels and looks more capable👍🍻
I'm looking at these maxi scooters a lot. I have a cb500x which is a great bike but I can't be arsed changing gears in traffic anymore. Plus I want to carry stuff without having to lengthen thr bike with a top box or widen it woth panniers. In the uK there are dam speed restrictions everywhere so the xmax or forza 350 or adv350 are on my radar big time. Great review there.
Thanks A1, Yes your right there , I did find the ADV got up to speed very quickly again though, its easy to go any speed on this bike and thats a good thing.
Can't wait for mine, ordered gloss silver in March '22 for April/May delivery. Alas that became August/September via a dealer email in late May...
I hope it turns up this time. Its worth the wait, and all manufacters are the same 👍
Really helpful video. I'm considering one of these for touring and wonder how they manage the tight hairpin bends in Europe, especially in the mountains. Any help appreciated. Thank you.
I would say it handles them very well. it is a 350 so uphills ,if your in a rush then it may feel you want more but overall....no issue I would say....they hold their value so worse case sell it,but i reckon it will be fine : )
Ah, thanks for the shout out!
Very nice little scooter, this 👍
Thanks for the footage, yes it's brill👍
its not little.
@@johnbellamy6449 🤣🤣🤣 probably not! Just a little bit of "big" geared bike snobbery creeping in. I definitely have nothing against scooters.
Great review 😊
Thanks for watching
Very nice review
Glad you liked it, Thankyou
Nice video great job sir ! Im from south of france now is not available for purchase, there is a waiting list.
I was wondering if I wait for the new XP400 from peugeot or ADV 350...
great review anyway
Thank you for watching.The ADV is a great scoot. Peugeot are not selling in the UK anymore to my knowledge.
Thanks
Had mine since jan. Brilliant. Sold tracer 700. Don't miss gears at all. This is well fast and handles great. Can be ridden with gusto. I do, all the time. I cut the screen down as still had buffeting even in lowest position. Also use seat pad as rear suspension stiff. Several thousand miles now,all seaside trips, don't commute, just for pleasure. Have seen 93 on the clock, maybe genuine 87. No lag either, twist and go should be called twist and take off!
Awesome, yes the rear is slightly stiff but much better than the Forza. Great to see your enjoying it 👍☀️🍻
Nice review, I was surprised how roomy it was at 6:2 and in fat bot category I was more comfortable on it than when I tried a Bergman and a V Max. I thought you got a umbrella as oe with them 😉 . Keep the reviews coming.👍
Hello mate. Yes its not bad is it, dash is at a nice height too....I should have used that brolly or what was the point taking it ha! Have a good week mate : )
Just ordered one for next June
Can’t wait to ride it😊
👍🍻
Hi There , lm liking your videos thanks for those , can i ask if the ADV 350 has a charging point under the seat please , im interested as i plan to buy one , thanks again mick.
Hi, Thanks for watching, its not under the seat on this one its in the left small compartment next to the handle bars...It should be easy to add one uner the seat though.Thanks Mick
Good review!
Thanks!
Thanks I watched few test drive Adv 350. You are the best. All we need to know. Drive slow in traffic, brake,... I will buy tomorrow in Thailand.
Thanks, its a good scooter : )
@@exeterrider I bought it. Great and so easy to drive.
Hi there Exmouth Biker 😉
if money and garage space were no object, one of these would be a very useful and enjoyable tool for all sorts of jobs and I’d probably get one ! Thanks for adding yet another bike to my list of bikes I’d like to own !
Cheers 🥃
ER
Exmouth..... I'm confused ha. Yes it all comes down to the garage space and money 💰💰
“Exmouth Biker” has a nice ring to it 🤣
@@Saddlebags73 I forgot where I lived for a minute 😁
I have just done a 2,000 mile tour of Thailand on an ADV 350. First class on the winding mountain roads. Very economical. Lots of storage space under the seat. One issue I had, it felt firm over the bad road surfaces. I would be interested to see if the suspension is adjustable, it could do with being a little softer. But overall, a first class bike.
Yes I know where your coming from there, a pusher ride would be nice I must admit 👍
Really Nice and relax review. Just tested one yesterday. was indeed surprised with the power of the acceleration (for a 350), outperforming my Silverwing 400 and far more lighter. the windscreen is a bit flimsy and making a rattling noise (due to the construction design) but that's my only complaint. other then that? I'm buying it today 🙂
Great to hear! If I wanted a scoot again this would be my first choice as well . Goodluck!
Great review, what I really like is that it has great build quality and that under seat storage! Reminds me of the practicality of the nc750! I'd be interested to hear your thoughts against the bigger scooter in the series. It's double the price but I's it double the bike? Would genuinely consider this as a daily! Great review. Take care and ride safe 😊🖖🏼
You would really appreciate the lack of vibration on this scooter aswell. You literally get nothing at all coming up through. The storage is so handy and negates the need for a top box. 5700 is a really good price for a scoot that will do it all. Thanks 👍🙏
@@exeterrider funnily enough I did see one in Spain, 6000 euros. Thought it would be a bigger difference!
I would not say nc750x has practical storage. It's only 23l. Good for nothing (not even for bigger helmet). ADV has real storage - I love it.
@@podunkman2709 still, its very handy. And for some, it negates the need for a topbox👍🍻
Have mine two weeks and can't get off it. Incredibly versatile bike. Getting just under 80mpg.
Brill Charlie...How long did you have to wait to get yours?
@@exeterrider Around two months. It was the first one in southern Ireland. Probably got lucky with country allocations and demand.
👍🍻
Nice review from down under god bless 👍😍
Thanks mate 👍🍻
Great product, thanks for video
Thanks for watching Brian 📺👍
Crackin bike, I shall be riding 2up all the way from East Anglia to the NC500 route on this un, fully packed with our gear! 350cc aint nothin to scoff at lads. Plenty of poke
👌💯👍🍻
What would be your choice between the Adv or the Forza?
Great review
No wrong answer there. But I like the commanding riding postion of the ADV and it kinda looks cooler I think.
Nice video. What you think is this scooter good for short trips 100-200 miles?
Yes I think it's fine, if it's 50/60 MPH roads and your loaded with a pillion and luggage then it may start to get a little underpowered, but overall it works really well on those trips. I had a 200 mile day on it and it did fine 👍
I would love to actually see one! Are the brake levers the same reach as the forza 350?
I think so , but it was 3 years since I rode the Forza.
Can’t wait for it to come to America I am looking forward to having to 350
Hopfully it will arrive soon 👍🍻
Although I haven't ridden one I think I can agree that it would make a good tourer based on my Forza 300, which I find fast enough for motorway work. Quiet, no vibes at all, great wind protection, just a good place to be.
They are brill. I really enjoyed my time with this one. Thanks for your input being a Honda scoot owner. It is good to have your input. Thanks
@@exeterrider Thanks for your kind words dude, much appreciated. Bet you're gutted when you have to give these bikes back. 😂
@@applecorp Only on some, Yes the ADV and the Monkey wrenched me a bit when they went back. I put 500 miles on the ADV so tried to get it out my system, much the same with the Monkey. Unlike the SINNIS 380 where I called them up to take it back lol
@@exeterrider 😂Poor old Sinnis 380. I'd be the same though, the ADV and Monkey are both bikes I'd love to have, they looks great and thanks for showing them off to us. Keep up the great work. 👍
@@applecorp I had a Monkey for a year and loved it but eventually the novelty wore off a bit. Got most of my money back when I sold it so no regrets at all. Great fun.
My new adv 350 arrives tomorrow. 😊 just cant wait.
Wow, stay in contact please and let me know how you get on over the next month👍
Will do. It all depends on the weather. I got Northwest Honda to deliver it tomorrow . 👍
@@user-rs6gl5lx6f exciting! 👍👍
Just bought the xadv 750 and haven't looked back, dct is brilliant and it don't hang around in sport mode 😃👍🏻
Yeap plenty fast enough. I have a NC as I expect you already know 👍🍻
@@exeterrider yeah, nice bike the NC matey 👍🏻
As a Forza 750 owner this is really interesting. I get between 16-17mpl riding it gently. Why the 750’s don’t get the adjustable windscreen beats me when it is on the 350’s.
Great review.
Thanks, I'm wondering wheather it's because they're is more to compete with in the 350 range? Just a guess really. But this bike has it all 👍🍻
Adjustable windscreen is like electric seat in the car - completely useless. You set it dozens of times per day? No. Because there are no reasons to do so.
The adjustable windshield on the Forza 350 is poorly made and makes a terrible noise on bumps. If someone says no, he is a liar. I drove Forza.
@@podunkman2709 fair enough, the screen on the ADV350 doesn't rattle at all. Like you say , I set the screen and left it there, but its nice to have the options for different riders.
@@podunkman2709 Fair enough. I had one on a BMWR1100RT and it was really useful.
@@podunkman2709 I only bring it up when it's raining.
Always enjoy and respect your reviews.
How did you find it in comparison to the Forza 350?
I bought the Forza 350 last year on the strength of a 4 day hire (test drive) of the old Forza 300. Unfortunately, here in Thailand we are suffering a fault that Honda Manufacturing Thailand have said they will look into, in that with hands off the bars or very loosely gripped, the handle bars shake violently between 30-70kms/hr., and it feels very unsafe. I've seen comments on chat forums, and it appears there is no such problem in Europe or Australia. I changed the cheap factory tyres for properly balanced Michelin road grip 2's, but it didn't make any difference.
Have you experienced or heard of this problem with any UK models?
I would very much appreciate your / the dealers feedback on this issue. Thanks.
Hi, I personally prefer it to the Forza. The riding position, stability, and general feel seems better. I haven't heard of any of the issues you mention there, and had no sign of this happening from 3 weeks and 500 miles on the ADV I had or the Forza.
That's all I can say on that one.
Thanks so much for your input and watching my reviews. Can't do it without you 👍📺
@@exeterrider
Wow, I wish I could get a 3 week test ride, in fact I wish I could get a 3 hour test ride. Some agents here in Thailand won't even let you sit on it in the showroom...!
Thanks for the feedback on the Forza 350.
I forgot to mention, there's a UA-cam vlog by "Red Cowboy - Speed wobbles" that shows the problem very well.
I've just re-contacted Honda Thailand, since waiting 2 weeks for their reply and solution to the problem and, would you believe, they say they can't find the phone number of their Krabi Town centre main agent...?? I think we know where this is going - nowhere...! 😒
I am in Europe and have same thing happening. Remove top case and will be fine. Common problem when bike or scooter have one.
@@am2am2am2am
Thanks for your feedback. Oddly enough that worked the first time, but I needed the box on a long trip. When I got back and tried an H2C mounting bracket it didn't help, but worse still when I removed it the shakes continued. The dealer mechanic assured me I needed new tyres, yet again, and sure enough it cured the problem, even with my cheap steel mounting bracket and top box still attached. C'est la vie...!!
Great review thanks, ordered mine on March 21, still no sign of it (Carlisle)
Sorry to hear that Adrian. Your not alone. Let me know when you have it if you don't mind 👍🍻
@@exeterrider I’ll let you know, same colour as your test bike too, thanks
Nice roads at the start! Where were they?
Exeter Airport. Get to there and keep going over the bridge 👍
Very nice. How would you compare this to the 300R? It is much heavier!
Id say the 300R feels heavier on top. The ADV holds its weight very low.
I had a Suzuki Burgman 400. An older one. Used. No ABS. I laid that thing down more times than I care to remember or admit. A scooter? Never again. Happy with my RE Meteor 350, thank you very much 🤗👍✌️
Same experience I had with mine. The 400 burgman is a heavy, ungainly beast, but this should be much much better as its a lot lighter and has good suspension.
Fair enough. I owned a 650 Burgman Non ABS. I loved it but this ADV is next 2 levels again.
Yes I think its a better option ,the ADV is really tight to ride and run.
I've been riding bikes for 50 years and had a Forza 300 for 6 years. It handles and stops just fine, no chicken strips on the tyres! 😉
Just went to see the real thing and tested sit on it(for height, 5 foot 7) both legs able to touch the ground. Suspension are great especially the front inverted fork.
Good news Keith👍
Nice one👍
Sounds like you really like the ADV350. Some scooters look big, bulky and top heavy, but because the weight is carried really low they are super easy to ride.
Yeap, no vibes, and good storage. How your well mate. Have a good week 👍🍻
Really enjoyed this, at 44 I have a Honda NC750X DCT, not sure whether to get this ADV350 or a Honda CL500 that doesn't have luggage but looks great geared fun😮, I am 50/50, I don't know what to do! 😂😊
It really depends what you do on a bike////if its just social pleasure riding then the CL is the way to go , but for bigger all year round miles then I'd say the ADV.....No wrong decision really. The 750x is a heck of a bike....
a perfect bike that'll do EVERYTHIG you need on any UK road.
Yeap exactly that BB👍🍻
Been waiting for this video. Lol i think the only down side to this scooter is actually getting hold of one. There all sold on the ship before they even come in. They are selling huge numbers. An i still want one.
Yes supply is an issue I know. I think they are on pre order is the only way at the moment.
our son told it could be September. ordered end of April i think.
@hondamotorcycles When is this coming to the US???
I have one on order, currently due March 2023, same colour as your test bike. Already have Vespa 300gts Super but expect Honda to handle better.
It will for sure. Good news well done : )
No one mentions that you cannot adjust the headlight height without taking the fairing apart. Forget it if you want to take a pillion at night without blinding everyone coming towards you. My bike was also supplied with the headlight too high and It took weeks before my dealer could fit me in to sort it out, I have complained to Honda, hopefully some of the testers will start to mention it so people like me who want to use the bike properly can get help.
I couldn't see an issue with mine, by the sounds of it I think that was a fault from the factory and bike specific.....LEDs are very bright anyway so getting it sorted was a good move. Glad its sorted now.
I'll be watching this later. 👌🏾
👍
Looks a great looking machine, I think beinv a 350 they should have enough power to hold their own on dual carriageways and motorways, more than just a commuter I think, for longer distances too, maybe even a bit of touring.
I think Maxi scoots have the benefit of being fun and practical all in one package especially with the weather protection and storage.
Good review mate.
Thanks mate, you're right, this was really comfortable to ride, no vibrations, a lot to be said for it, thanks 😎
Good review mate !! I own a ADV150 and would love Honda to import the ADV350 into Australia , which it does not. As I would upgrade straight away , As the little 150 struggles at times, but it is still a great machine. We only get the 350 Forza , which does not much in the styling for me. I Might have to change to Yamaha Xmax 300 in the futue, if Honda Australia does not come here.
Real shame that mate. Honda are missing out there 😔
You were a great ambassador for the bike on the last Saddlebags Social Ride, shame there is a unfounded prejudice in the UK when it comes to scooters...
Thanks Dave, yes I have noticed that too. I just don't understand what the biggy is. As you know, we kept a lot dryer than the others, and I even fitted my umbrella under the seat☔😁. I wanted to take the Monkey that day but the ADV behaved impeccably. Thanks Dave👍
@@exeterrider Unlike most others on the ride, I didn't need to spend the day after cleaning the bike either!
@@davidhawkins120 boom! 😂👍
I was going to say it would make a good umbrella smuggler, but was beaten to it 🤪
@Saddlebags 73 I didn't even have the guts to put it up that day, even though I wanted too😊
15:27 Looks like they have put the oil filter to the side next to the kickstand. Easy to access for servicing. 👍
That's something Honda excel at is making servicing easy 👍
Id be doing the same thing 😉👍
Im thinking of selling my f850gs and geing one of these. My commute is 60 miles each way mostly on the m25, do you think this would do the job?
Thanks for a great review 👍
It will do it but that's a good bike you have all ready. Will you miss the gs?
@exeter rider thanks for the reply,
I've just hit 60000 on the gs and things are starting to go wrong, probably 1500 quids worth of work. Still undecided, just can't make mind up!
I think you may miss the engagment a motercycle gives you..... Maybe?!
Nice one, great video and production! I just ordered mine in red with the top box, I hope I don't get to wait too long!
Brill. Are you in the UK? I think we're looking at February or March here!
@@exeterrider No friend I'm in Greece, most people wait 3-5 months but some lucky guys get cancelled orders so you have to be lucky and patient. Of course we should be expecting orders after August because the factory in Italy should not be working now.
@@NtaksAKAKevin OK cool. Why doe's the factory close in Italy?
@@exeterrider vacation but not for the whole of August
Replace the footboards with pegs, fit a "frunk" and this would be the perfect bike for my needs.
Ha, basically buy a NC750👍
im looking for a run about for town this looks like its a good contender
Its an easy bike to live with, and will do it all!
is frame dimensions and weight close to the adv 750? here in US neither available. anyway watching for fun but i would like the 750 if i x-pat somewhere else.
Hi, no they are totally different. Id like to try the 750 for sure 👍
I am riding bikes over 20 years now… my first bike was 50cc, then upgraded to 250cc scooter and parallel with him, i ve got k7 1000, then changed to z750…,later to Y tmax 530, now i am having only this 350adv(since last year)… and no way would change it for anything any time sooner….
So definitely it’s not just for beginners….
It’s one of the best, maybe the best all rounder, my previous tmax was definitely more comfy on open roads but trough a city this honda is the king, and tmax was a bit to heavy trough a heavy trafic, and don’t forget to mention 6,7 l on 100kmh…
Also honda adv 750 is a good bike but a way to expensive for what you get out of this 350…
Maybe in some positions, honda adv 350 missing couple horsepower more, but it’s all relevant…(maybe honda will make something like 400/450 adv, which would be the best all rounder…
My guess is that Yamaha will catch up with something similar soon, because yamaha xmax 300 is not even close as good as honda adv 350….
Besides this, Your video is a great one, other videos when they start reviewing by saying that it has usb port I just skip after 20
seconds if you know what I mean….
Thanks Marco for your time watching the video, Id like to see them make a 450 scoot aswell.
I've just bought this on Koh Samui, Thailand for 194,000 baht or 4640.75 British pounds, on the road, good value.
Congrats, well done
@@exeterrider Ive driven maybe 500km now, very impressed, it reminds me of my Honda Click 125 as its very easy to handle, there is a clicking noise coming from the engine area at low speed, will inform Honda at first service, thanks for your fantastic reviews.
I have been into naked sporty type bikes for a while but find myself looking at the more practical side of things with the NC and adv now. Must be a sign of age.
Seriously though, if you enjoy riding a bike more and it's practical. Who cares about 100+ bhp brembos/tft etc etc. Enjoying yourself is more important than so called street cred 🤓😀
You can only go 30-40-50-70 in the UK anyway. Price of fuel and cameras everywhere. Suddenly this makes more sense
100% my take on biking these days Scott. Thanks for your input.
Wonder if this bike is compatible with side luggage cases, cos i wanna use it for travelling/touring. Not sure if these lugagges can be installed on a scooter?
It can be yes, I think honda may do their own luggage
Be extremely careful you don’t lose your keys. Both of mine were lost during a move in early March. Honda has replacement keys on back order…with no estimated time of arrival. My 2022 ADV 150, with less than 200 miles on it, has been nothing more than an expense paper weight for months. And no estimate on when the problem will be fixed. Beyond frustrating!
My god thats awful. I feel for you..... Any oats for bikes at the moment is a knitemare!
U got lesson to care about things. I cannot even imagine how one could lose key...
These things do happen to use all though, any thing is possible.
English countryside is a treat to watch .....👍
Thank you .it is nice here 👍
How about a review on the Honda SH350 (same engine - smaller bike) which is especially good for those with knee/hip problems?
Id like to try it. The SH350 looks really practical to say the least.
@@exeterrider I have the earlier SH300 and at 72yrs and 6' 2", it's brilliant for me. Relatively overlooked amongst UK scooters, I now prefer it to my Honda Silverwing 600 for general riding. The 16" wheels make a lot of difference.
@@FlyingPanMan I can imagine it does. Id like to try one sometime
@@FlyingPanMan Flyingpan, I had an SH350, it was 100% suitable for me at 5'9" , I then went to the Forza 750, (too heavy), and am now back with the Forza 350. I'm actually prefering the Forza to the SH. Although it has a hump in front of the seat, its quite low, and you lift your right leg over it first, to mount. I dont notice the 15"F/14"R wheel combination as being inferior to the SH. It purrs along, has ample acceleration, corners well, (lighter front end than the 750), I can't fault it.
@@geoff6942 An arthritic hip means that Forza "hump" can be impossible to manage and, once seated, the width of the seat and floorboards can aggravate the condition. Because of this, I'm selling my Silverwing 600. I find the seat height, flat floor, and slimness of my SH300i is great for my condition. Did 160 miles on it a few days ago.
Any chance you could do a review of 125 forza please
I'd actually like too, but not sure if they are avaliable....ill do my best mate.
@@exeterrider thanks for replying 🙏
わかりやすいレビューをありがとう！ 私は現在crf250 rallyを所有していますが、ロングツーリングには、排気量が小さいです。このレビューを見てADV350を大変所有したいと思いました。しかし、最大のジョークは、日本では、ADV350が発売されていません。
I am very surprised by that...I would have thought it would do well where you are.
Did you take it off road abit like green lanes
No I didnt, it's not an offroader, light tarmac lanes is all is good for 👍
What you recommend NX500 or ADV 350?
Poems on so many things, if you don't get bored not changing gears then the adv is good but if you like to be doing something when riding them it's the NX👍
Hi I want your opinion I want to do my motorbike test in Exeter witch one do u think is best
Hi Steven, I have no preference mate. I dont know anything about the schools in Exeter TBH. If its just for a CBT then they are all the same, and its luck of the draw who you get with any school. I hope you get on OK though. Goodluck!
@@exeterrider ok thanks I want to get my licenses so I can ride any bike I wish thanks so much for your reply and keep up with your UA-cam video s I enjoy them a lot take care keep safe
Just thinking whether to go for CB350 or ADV350
No wrong decision there!
Shame I can’t get one anywhere. Tried a few dealers quoting feb next year lead time.
Yes , its very difficult times for all manufactures. No light at the end of the tunnel either sadly : ( The wait will be worth it but its not good is it mate : (
And if they bring it to America, I would buy one!!!
Fingers crossed!
Scooters are great and the improvements over the years are phenomenal and as usual Honda rises to the top my only dislike is the drone exhausts but I’ve yet to hear an aftermarket slip on improve that past now it’s loud and annoying so one of the rare factory exhausts that would stay put for me. Just not so popular here in the states but fuel prices are changing that rapidly. This would be perfect for the wife and myself or just myself.
I'd have one. Like you say with the fuel prices which are also becoming silly over here, a 350 makes a lot of sense!
I saw a Forza with a refit for the exhaust, it made it quite loud, but it took away the heat from the under seat storage compartment, and didn't look as neat as the original. I'm told it improved performance a bit.
You made me feel like I am gonna buy one now 🤪
Ha check out my other bits on this one. I think I have 3. It's a good scoot👍🍻
@@exeterrider I am pretty sure it is a good one... Initially I was after forza 750 but after your review and the fact of better suspensions and wide handle bar it twisted my mind a bit. Now I am pretty sure this option is much better opportunity to safe a money and having more fun in general ☺️😉
@@sevsev1712 yeap that pretty much weighs up my thoughts on it 👍🍻
And I think the belt drive sistem works very good in this one... Solid engineering isn't 😬
Its totally reliable, belt systems give a nice soft ride aswell.
Needs an x version with the dvt transmission and dual disc's on the front.
DCT transmission, the ultimate compromise
Can you adjust the wind screen automatic or is it manually?
Manually only as shown in the Walkround 👍
@@exeterrider tq sir
Could u do a start up operation as for the keyless start as I'm told if u don't get it right flat battery later.
What do you mean ? Its easy...I can't see how anyone could get it wrong really.
@@exeterrider yes some have had flat batteries due to not getting it right with the operation of the switch on turn on or off .
@@Snip59 Ahh Ok. I found that no issue because you have to turn it all the way off for the steering lock to activate. But Note taken Thanks
@@exeterrider Could u do a step by step is that possible as I'm sure we all would like cheers from Phil in Syd great work look further to more.
@@Snip59 I would do Phil, but sadly I dont have the bike anymore...my 3 weeks are up. Sorry....Thanks for watching though!
I'm considering this for city delivery , lots of start and stop, do you think it's a bad idea?
It will be fine, the only thing to consider is that it's not as nimble for filtering. It's quite a wide bike, a sh350 may work better? Apart from that it will be fine 👍
@@exeterrider My place generally feels like 37 degree celsius sometimes worse. Singapore. I did consider the 150cc adv but i need to travel long distance (40km-50km) on weekends on expressway.
I'm almost 95kg and that's before a pillon of say 60kg , so i feel got no choice but to get something of 300-400 cc
Unfortunately, in singapore, you need to buy a bike that is commonly purchase otherwise it will cost a bomb for maintenance. I currently ride a street bike, and it's too tiring because there's a traffic light every 10-15 seconds of travel hahaha ....... yes i'm worried about the width of the bike, i spoke to some riders they say it's still ok but i struggle to lane split with FZ16 (770) maybe because i got to pull in the clutch when i split to slow down and accelerate. It's an issue when you have two big SUV side by side (mirror). Heavy vehicles i wont split. I think you need a 150cc bike for that, even with that, it's dangerous once light is green. One bump and you're under the big fat wheels.
FZ16 is aircooled for my case, it overheats like nothing, it just a matter of time it's dead with temperature at 35-37 degree and lots of red lights, in fact sometimes my piston jam up during a start (After switching it off for 15-30mins) external cooler(engine case) than internal(piston)
ADV 350 is 895 mm for width
FZ16 is 770 mm for witdth
that's about 10cm extra
Btw thanks for your video, i appreciate it, subscribed.
Thanks, and yes it does feel quite wide. I love the adv, but perhaps the Forza may be a better option for lane splits. It did feel quite wide when lane splitting..... However the other advantages you get from it out weigh that slight issue... Go for the adv I say, and just live with it not being the best in traffic👍
Forza will be better option fo u I believe - more easy to filter traffic. And I do not think you are tall like europeans 🙂
@@podunkman2709 yeah but Forza looks really really ugly , I rather go for Xmax if Forza is the only choice
Hi, good video 👍🏻... I am 190cm tall and 115 kg. Do you think it is small for a person My heights and weight?
Not at all, I'm quite sure it will be OK...try one for size to check ,but it suits people your size.
@@exeterrider thanks 👍🏻
I wish honda will bring it here at the u.s
Yes, hopfully in time they will!
