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).

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.

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.

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!

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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….

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.

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.
