Nice to see some one that appreciate what a bloody good scooter it is. Brought mine blind know test ride just liked the look of it. Got a bad back arthritis in my shoulders arthritis in the hips arthritis in my feet, but it's easy to ride. It's like riding around on a three-piece suite. And it keeps me on 2 Wheels love it xx
Had to give up my 1150 GS, old leg injury caught up with me, didn’t think I’d ride again, cut to the chase got one. Miss a tank, but forward foot position compensates and it corners really well, engine really surprised me. Bars exactly right, width and height (I’m 5’11’), the small screen looks right and works, looks wise it has more street presence cars move aside, bikers nod. Instruments and turn indicators really clear. Not just a commuter this, handles the open road and hills with a top speed of 90. Even the stock exhaust sounds good. And it’s a Honda.
I take it this would be fine with lane splitting, but what is it like with traffic filtering and getting to front at traffic lights? I have G650GS that in traffic isn't that great and a PCX125 that is brilliant, but i fancy something that feels 'nippier'. My other one on my short list is the Vespa GTS300, but this Honda is a strong contender.
Hi. Its fantastic for filtering, very agile. Plus when you get to the front it has enough grunt to keep you ahead. Being a Honda it'll do it for lots of worry free miles too. Enjoy whichever you pick. Ride safe my friend.
Hi. If your going solo no pillion, I would say definitely. I considered it myself. There's a you tube video of a guy on a 300 honda scooter who did Ireland to England and then down to marbella southern tip of Spain through France. Went most of the way on Toll roads (boring, I always avoid them)but I camp and I have had all the gear on the bike and it's still happy 65-70mph. Go for it.
Rubbish bike i took mine back to the shop after a week with all the panel tabs smashed off it and fixed them with screws,stupid Honda think there clever complicating there design
Couple of tips mate. Your road positioning is poor. Most of the time you're far too much to the left of the road. Also, you should never overtake on a hill. IAM member.
Hi. Thanks for the tips. On Cornish country lanes there often tends to be gravel/mud in the centre of the lane, so often I will go to the left of where it is. If I went to the right of the gravel, it would make me feel uncomfortable in certain situations. As it would put me too close to the centre line. Can't remember the overtake on a hill, but if I did it then I must have felt I had enough time to make the overtake safely in what I could see to be clear ahead.
What a great ride out! Amazing weather. Looking forward to owning one of these in the Spring 😊

Everybody seems to get Arthritis, mine is worse in my bum unfortunately, but still riding @69. Gone try one of these
Is the acceleration good?

Completely agree. If it keeps you riding it's got to be right. Cheers
My red Adv 350 arrived today. I got it delivered to my home. So when the weather improves, I'll be out and about.
Your going to love it. Very capable machine. Ride safe my friend.
Good looking scooter and good fuel consumption, definitely lighter to handle than our ST Pans, enjoyed the ride with you around your local area
Thanks Philip glad you enjoyed it. Ride safe my friend.
I thought about the 750 little while back, be a good winter bike thats for sure, ride safe mate
I've also got an nc750x dct. Going on that one to Spain in June. Although I would like to take the pan again. Lol
Great video wish more people showed u turns as I find them difficult
Thanks David. I struggle a little with them too.
Just ordered a red one from my Honda dealer. Should be with me by end Sept 2023. Just enough time to secure my full license lol.
Good luck with that. You will love it I'm sure.
I have the big brother - Xadv 750 and absolutely love it 😁👍🏻, also check out Label bike protective stickers 👍🏻

Nice 😎👍🏻
Many thanks Derv man.
Would this bike be good enough for a tour of Europe?

Wow that's unusual for a Honda.
Perhaps it might be safer if you stuck to the prescribed speed limit!!!
That's Portreath!!
Certainly is my friend.
A great review. Thank you. Off to damerells to test ride one soon. I want one for the summer. Looks like it's got some squirt for a 330cc twisty?
