@@Crohniebiker I took it out on the DGR weekend and it was awesome! Quite an improvement on my old 2015 model. The CVT is much improved in smoothness and low speed running. The comfort is just like putting on a pair of comfortable slippers, and the handling is indeed spritely. And the extra power over the old 300 is excellent.

Had my Forza for 3 years (and 300 Forza before that). I've had 30 bikes (mostly big cruisers and a few adventure bikes) over a lifetime of biking. Also had a Burgman 400 and 650. The Forza 350 is the best! Having said that, I did ride the ADV 350 last week and I liked it even more, not believing that was possible! Anyway, enjoy your Forza, it's great! Take care and ride safe.

Had my Honda Forza 350 for nearly 3 years. Average = 82mpg. Amazing! Fantastic bike. My favourite scoot. It does tend to get through a set of tyres in 3500-4000miles though. Had a Burgman 400, lovely, comfortable, but handled like a barge round bends. Had a Burgman 650, great tourer, but pretty heavy in traffic. Went for a roadtest on the ADV 350, it blew me away! I pick it up on Saturday. Take care and ride safe mate.

@pommiegranite464 thanks for the comments, I changed my rear tyre at 6k and the front is about ready now at almost 10k. I agree with you about the burgman 400 but the weather protection is great on them . You will love the ADV . Ride safe 👍

I have a old scooter that I purchased with about 14500 miles on the clock 4 years ago. It is also a Honda, a 2001 NSS250 Reflex. Just this spring I turned 57000 miles on the clock and no that is not a typo, I ride the hell out of this thing. At the start of last year riding season I decided to do a ground up maintenance, new fuel line, new fuel filter, new vacuum lines, clean the carb (still didn't need it but did it anyway), valve adjustment, new tires, new drive belt, etc., you get the idea. I decided to go on a long trip out of state (I live in the USA) and was extremely happy with the highway fuel mileage of this thing. It is a 3.2 gallon tank and I reset the trip meter every fill up, a habit from having too many motorcycles in the past with no gas gauge. Other than potty breaks I ran 243 miles on the that first tank of my trip and at the first fill up I still had .4 of a gallon left in the tank which came out to 86 mpg... WOW, I have never had a motorcycle in my life to ever even come close to that. Great video and I hope to see many more from ya Crohnie!!

CB, What a very useful video you've produced here. Thank-You. I'm in my mid 70's and returned to riding a motorcycle about 15 years or so ago (purely for pleasure riding in the country lanes of Hampshire). In my autumn years I have athritis developing in my right hip, so starting to get discomfort issues riding even conventional motorcycles such as my current Triumph Bonneville (and I'm vertically challenged, so would have even bigger problems if I had your in-seam measurement ! ). I regretfully changed to the Bonnie about 7 months ago from a Royal Enfield 350 Meteor, as my local R/E dealership ceased trading and there wasn't another (reliable) dealership within a practical distance for servicing. The Meteor, being a semi-cruiser style was the most comfortable 'bike I've ever owned. I checked out quite a few modern bikes for comfortable ergonomics and, although the Bonnie seemed the most appropriate, I'm now discovering it wasn't the complete answer. From my previous endeavours I know I won't find a conventional 'bike better suited to my failing physique than the Bonnie (and limited choice anyway as there are few dealerships close to my home). Although a massive break from tradition for me, a scooter would most probably provide the best answer to keep my motorised two-wheel fun going for a few more years, and the ADV 350 has popped up on my radar. Your 'real-world' experience of of the ADV covering topics not usually mentioned in typical reviews, but very relevant to potential long-term ownership were very encouraging to me. So thank-you again. : - }

Thank you for your kind words, my friend. I have found in my 2 years of ownership that this little bike is a very capable machine. It will easily sit at motorway speeds, and I find it very nimble . My girlfriend is 5"5 and she loves riding it too ( although she has to shuffle to the front of the seat to touch the ground) It's also quite comfortable on longer rides . I wish you many more happy years of riding enjoyment and thanks for watching 👍

That was a thoroughly entertaining and informative review. I love how fast your bike is off the line, that will never not be fun. I passed my mod1 a couple days ago, and my mod2 is set for the 22nd July. I’ve been riding a 125 for the last year, I felt that the mod1 was going to be the big hurdle, but I passed it easily in the end, so if I’m sensible, I hope the mod2 is going to be just a formality. The plan is to ride to the dealer the second I pass, trade in, and leave the dealer with this bike on the same day I pass.

I keep developing an interest in the 350, then cooling it. I live in Thailand for nine months of the year and run a Yamaha SCR950, KTM 390 Duke Mk2 and Yamaha Aerox 155 twist and go scooter. I keep thinking of selling the 390 and 155 and replacing it with an Adv 350. But they're heavy, whereas the 155 is so light and nimble in the city. A mate had one and said it was like riding an auto adventure bike. Dreadful traffic everywhere in England. Remember it well. Excellent review. Nick J

Totally agree with everything you say about the bike. I'm living in the South of France I bought the ADV 350 as a second bike for town use & commuting. It took two months to realise I was having more fun than on my Tracer900 GT, sold the bike & never looked back. I just had Pirelli Angel Scooter tyres fitted what a difference it rides even more like a motorbike. The Variator is noisy do you have any information about replacing it with a Malossi to eliminate the noise? Regards, Frank.

As far as fuel economy goes it is possible for say a Honda Goldwing to travel much the same distance as say a Honda Grom given the same amount of fuel in each bike. Assuming both are ridden conservatively on a level road with no or very little stop/start in traffic.

Hi Crohnie, thanks for your honest opinion about your ADV. I switched from a 400cc Piaggio Beverly 400 S scooter to the Honda CL-500 about 3 months ago. As I don't have a car, I rode the Piaggio scooter all last winter (with the factory Michelin City Grip 2 tyres) in sleet and -10 degrees etc. without any problems. I knew that the scooter would be better in winter due to the lower centre of gravity, but I didn't think that the CL 500 would be so unsuitable for winter riding (the rear end broke out when I started off carefully in the sleet). Have you ridden your CB-500X in winter and had a similar experience? How does the ADV behave in sleet? Best regards ;-)
@Crohniebiker
@Crohniebiker 9 месяцев назад
Hi ,I didn't get a chance to ride cb500x in winter as I ended up trading it in for the NC750X ( check out my video) The ADV on the other hand is as good as you would expect in the winter and sleet. The traction control comes in very handy and it's a great handling bike with the wide bars . The weather protection isn't quite as good as my old burgman 400 though .

I also have an ADV 350 that I bought brand new nearly one year ago. However I am starting to notice some issues that I wonder if you have the same. The rear bearing is making a humming sound when I turn the wheel in any direction and I am able to shake the wheel slightly. I assume it's time to change under warranty. What is really worrying me at the moment is that I noticed that if I put the motorcycle on the center stand and shake it by hand a little bit, I can hear some mounts engine/chassis mount clinging (near the engine area) and I clearly see the rear suspension shaking from side to side. Do you also have this in yours?

I don't notice any vibrations in the front wheel or windshield of your bike. I've had mine for a year, and I'm quite frustrated with how it tends to wobble and vibrate when I release the gas at around 60 km/h or when it's stationary and turned on. Initially, I assumed the issue might be resolved by balancing the front wheel. However, after doing some research, it appears that this could be a common problem with Honda motorcycles.

Dear Sir, on the brink of bying one. See you use oxford grips. what version have you got on? how are they to install? easy, cumbersome, frustrating?

Buy one ,you won't regret it .They are amazing bikes I believe I got the adventure grips from Oxford, yes they are a bit fiddly and you have to sand off the ridges on the throttle tube. Also threading the cable to the battery is a bit of a pain but it's doable. Thanks for watching 👍

@jjp6263 I think the honda grips come up on screen when you turn them on also 👌

As far as I know the only difference is a black engine belt cover ,they're basically the same . Thanks for watching 👍

Would a guy who’s 6” 96kg be to big for a scooter of this size?

Could you tell me what is this thing on the ride side of the handle bar over the brakefluid ? Is it a dashcam?
