Thanks pessoalrc, great to hear you are loving it. It is already one of my favourite motorcycles of all time.

I have ridden both the Forza and the xmax Joseph, and there's really no comparison. Apart from the fact they all look much the same, the ADV350 is miles ahead in terms of handling, suspension, and value for money. Honda sells the ADV at the same price as the Forza in thailand, and it's an absolute bargain

Honda Thailand 🇹🇭 are struggling to even meet local demand here atm prime. Lot of expats in the more touristy areas are on at least a 3 month backorder. Many people want this bike, they're starting to realise just what a bargain it is at the same price as the Forza. I expect that will change at some stage though

I did the same. Does not sound promising but maybe if more people reach out to Honda we’ll see this bike in the US.

Thanks figvam 😊 I haven't seen the new colours yet, so I will be onto that now you mentioned it. I'm ok with the standard suspension for now; it hasn't lost any of its stiffness so far, unlike my Yamaha aerox! Speaking of which, riding both those bikes over the same roads regularly, I can really notice just how much better the Honda is at soaking up the bumps. If money wasn't an issue, I would put ohlins on both of the bike's 😃

Thanks Juan, always fun doing motorcycle adventure videos 😃

Lot of people are saying the same as you, Edward. I'm just about to finish a two week 2200km trip on mine across Thailand 🇹🇭 Not a single issue and I'm still loving it

Yes you would, it's awesome 😃 I did read recently that the US might get them. However, demand is not keeping up with production at the moment, backorders here are at around 3 months waiting currently I'm told.

@@avro9707 saw a brand new one in Honda dealer near Bangkok floating market two days ago. Another one near Pretchuap Khiri khan 😃 They are around

Might have more luck asking Santa 🤶 😄 People here are realising just how good they are over the forza and x max

😄 I agree re the park brake, and the horn on the left switch block is where the indicator switch should be, and sounds like you stepped on a child's toy!

I carry a velcro strap and just keep the left lever pulled.

Good idea!

Horses for courses andre, the ADV is a different genre altogether. The swm rs500r is an incredible motorcycle for sure, but I would be more comfortable riding a 400km road trip in a day on the ADV, and enjoy it more too. Conversely, the SWM for riding big km off road in a day. Surprisingly, the SWM is quite good on the open road, and fun to push hard through the twisties 😃

Hadn't heard that Ray, but I did think they were an absolute bargain at same price as Forza.

Hi Carey Well...that's the million dollar question isn't it! Honda Thailand apparently produces the ADV350, and I can tell you that they are struggling to even supply local Honda dealers! Anybody out of Bangkok as I write this is on a waiting list of some sort. As for America, who knows, Honda would be well aware of the potential market in your country, I'm sure, but production constraints are the big factor there right now. It really is a motorcycle that would appeal to a huge market in America.

Hi Kenneth, I just put up a few videos of that bike negotiating traffic on Samui. I also have an aerox, which I use for shorter runs to the shops etc. It depends on whether you can afford two bikes, and if you plan to do any touring off the island. If you do, go with the ADV350 as it's an excellent fun touring bike with heaps of storage

​@mototouro cool. I plan get the 350 and the Giorno. Plus I have a Cub. Thanks. I'll look for your videos.

Hi Geoff, Firstly, thanks for the feedback 😀 Do love getting suggestions from viewers. There will be a follow-up video coming covering that aspect of the ADV in more detail.

@@mototouro , I'm looking at the ADV350 or the Yamaha XMAX 300 when I move permanently to Thailand hopefully by xmas 2024 .... have to sell the house first

@@mototouro , one thing I like about the ADV over the XMAX was that one can put steering dampness on the front fork and have easy access to adjust when needed , where as the XMAX one would have to pull half the bike apart and the plus sign for the XMAX was it has an inbuilt Nav on the screen

@geofferyrobertson6608 Both great bikes, Geoff. Hire one of each for a few days when the time comes. 😃 I also have a new Yamaha Aerox 155cc, which I use for short city runs and negotiating peak traffic times. Having two bikes is easily affordable here as small scooters (110, 125, 155cc) are cheap as chips here. Might be an option for you too.

@@mototouro , yes I have been hiring the AEROX155 daily because of the wider tyres so when going over cracks on the roads/Soi one doesn't get caught in them, I bought a Honda wave 125 12 yrs ago and the tyres were shit , just an accident waiting to happen keep your vids coming mate , I've subscribed

It's a great bike Chris. I have had mine for nearly 6 months now and still love it 😀 I'm about to head off for a tour on it of southern Thailand 🇹🇭 right now 😁Will do a few youtube shorts every day

I believe you, but problem is 🇵🇭 don’t get the nicer bikers for whatever reason 😢 Wish Honda corp would wake up. Enjoy your adventures, look forward to more videos 🥳

And they are an awesome bike too Ben 😁 Maybe one day

@@mototouro we only get the 150; Adv 🥴

@bencarpenter3785 they are having trouble supplying Thailand demand at the moment. USA wants them too

I love ❤️ mine, however I also have a yamaha aerox which is a great bike but the suspension can't really handle my 92kg Looking seriously at the little ADV for it's firmer suspension

😬

Ese video fue filmado en una isla de Tailandia. 🇹🇭 El 99,99 % de los ciclistas no usan pantalones aquí 😁

como si está filmado en la luna, no es asunto de legalidad,sino de integridad física, pero por lo que leo te falta aparte de un pantalón más cosas...🙃@@mototouro
