Great review. It's, in a word, a SUV scooter. It's an amazing product from Honda that is surfing the big wave caused by the xadv750 and cashing in the success. I absolutely love the scooter. I've been lucky enough (read: work like a maniac) to have two bike, and normally I get bored with scooters and end up buying a naked mid cc bike but miss the practicality of a mid size scooter. After a Forza 350, 2 xmax 300, 1 Burgman 200 (and 1 silver wing 400, majesty 400 etc) I went and did a test ride on a Adv350 and immediately felt that motorcycle vibe and the crossover feel to it. It has the practicality of the scooter with the feel of a motorcycle (you can see the front forks and the handlebars give her that sense of control you need and are used to). So, bye my beloved Ducati Monster and ordered a ADV350 (dark grey) on the spot. It a very good complement to my GSA1200! Amazing bike/scooter from Honda.

With the cost of living rocketing these smaller capacity scooters make a great alternative to a car around town.

That ADV350 grey looks awesome. What a look!

Hi Alex. Great review & thanks for running through everything on this mid sized bike. I personally love this little ADV 350 & I'm saving for one as we speak. I agree with you also, for a mid range little adventure bike I think this is hard to beat atm, in fact you can't beat it. This scoot really does have all the spec you need, bucket loads of space with the top box also, great suspension & a good bit of power for a little 350 also. I've noticed that Akrapovic haven't bought out a nice dark grey exhaust for this scoot yet! Do you think they will in time? Not only will it look good, it'll also give it a little bit more power. Thanks.

good review thanks

I have the Adv150 now, can’t wait for the 350 to come to the US. With gas prices we will look like Europe and Asia soon with more bikes on the road

Nice review. It would be nice to also hear about how easy it is to carry more luggage beyond the underseat compartment and the top box. Is it possible to strap a small duffel bag to the pillion seat? Are there some practical anchor points?

Got one and love it would go anywhere on it

All good and well done and a thumb up but one question springs to mind - Why do you set up your camera against the sun? ? ???

Riding on UK roads is offroad. Bluetooth is only for Android.

Great review. I'm tall, so this makes me feel good. Great bike.

Got one, love it.

I hope this comes to the US, great looking bike. Like all new model Honda’s that come to the US, we’ll have the color choice of red or red.

Looks like a great mid sized scooter with the added benefit that you could go down a gravel/grassy green lane in the summer and not feel guilty. Cracking price too and should be very economical to run - think I need a test drive!

Do it, you're going to be surprised by the feel, and even more if you own or ever owned a 300/400cc scooter. It's amazing.

I have 150 Adv 4 months ago in Indonesia just 150. I hope next year will be coming in Indonesia 160 or 250 . See you soon😘 love honda

Was advised to place a deposit on one, 6-8 weeks wait but could be more like 10. No demo, and Honda to raise price in Q2.

It's a nice journalistic angle but nobody ever will take this off road, just like the X ADV 750 and ADV 150 in Asian markets, its just a styling exercise. Still like it more than a Forza because of the better suspension.

I'd happily take it off road on sensible tracks at reasonable speeds - there are some great gravel tracks that lead around local reservoirs, it would be spot on for that and have space to store your sandwiches, flask and blanket for a pit stop while you're out. Obviously, it's not designed for serious off roading but slightly more suitable than a standard scooter. However, I doubt it jumps as well as the Honda C50 that I remember riding off road back in the '70's!

is it firm as in, sports bike suspension firm?

The main competitor to the ADV is the sibling Honda Forza 350, the Forza has conventional tele-forks, the ADV the upside-down forks, I guess for 2023 the Forza will lose tele forks for upside-down. The Forza has an electrically powered windshield, it can be adjusted over a range of movement of 180mm by a handlebar button, the ADV is a manual windshield ( note to reviewer is the windshield variable in height or simply fully up / fully down )? The fuel consumption is poor, 18 miles/litre from the brochure, only 1 mile more than the 750 ADV , the scooters hardly better certain Honda cars such as the Jazz for mpg, especially the latest hybrid Jazz. Both the Forza and ADV are competitively priced at £5700, the Suzuki Burgman is an incredible £6999.

@podunkman2709

Upside Down is more like marketing. Right-Side can be exactly same if wheel is small and travel distance is rather small. Both suspensions works in exactly same way - np pro, no cons in shock absorbing. The upper part of Forza suspension is bicycle type mount - this can have small impact on stiffness. Electric windscreen seems to be amazing fun but it is not. Why? Because quality is really bad. It makes terrible noise on bumps. Forza offers slightly better cover against wind. Both bikes are great as commuting bikes. I own ADV :-)

I LIKE IT !!!!! ;-))

I like it. I would have expected better fuel economy though, my 850cc Moto Guzzi V7 does 60+ mpg in the real world.

This is definitely looks better than the Forza 350. But this ADV350 is it faster like the Yamaha X-MAX300? If it is, than its worth the buy.
