I have the Forza 350, which is essentially the same bike, and it’ll happily cruise up to 70mph. At that speed it’s approximately 6600 rpm and the redline is 9000. The engine feels relaxed with no vibration at all. I also have the SH300i which I might consider swapping for the ADV350.
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. Keen to tell me Honda sell 20M+ units in the UK though.
Hi it’s the shop I work at Newcastle motorcycles in the North east of England. Still have one on the floor at the min but after the 1st of March it will be out the door.
Cracking bike definitely needed better suspension v forza 350 budget unit. Feet forward floorboards look very narrow. Did you ride in this position at all....
The rear suspension is unfortunately awful. It could be because of it’s off road character but it’s way too firm. Forza’s suspension is far better than this one!
Yep Honda told us a weeks back now any new orders and it’s Feb 2023 ish for delivery. Yes it’s the same as any scooter back brake on the left front brake on the right.
Very slow delivery. I placed a order for a ADV 350CC. On the 9th February from Padgetts, Batley. It has still not arrived. 7th May. Do you know how long The Delivery time is supposed to Take on this model. Kind Regards
How man, can you ask your father in law if I can have a look at his scooter??? You went past where I used to live, part of my daily commute. and the pub I go to every Thursday! Seriously, the Forza looks massive at the back end and the dealer you were in cant get any ADV's until September. I would have to put a deposit on one without even being able to see one first. It looks like the ADV maybe a bit more compact than the Forza.
It’s not that much smaller. We have just been told any new orders as of now is Feb next year. When it goes in for its service will let you know so you can see one.
Hi we have 2 in the shop. This one in for first service but will be gone by Friday. Also customer order has landed so you could pop in and see the size of these bikes.
I waited two months which is how long Honda told me to wait. I was then told that I would have to wait about 4 more months. I gave up on the business, they refunded my deposit and now I have an xmax tech max 300.
It’s very hard at the min. The info we are given as dealer is poor and sometimes inaccurate. We are told 2 months then spot on the spreadsheet that delivery has vanished. You chase it up only to told it’s delayed no reason just delayed. Please remember as the dealer we are doing are best at the end of the day we need to sell bikes to stay open.
Thanks for the video. What a great bike.
I'm saving for one currently. 👌🏾
Good video. Very encouraging!! Thank you!! Have a great New Year!! Love from Scotland, X.
Good review, ordered mine in March same colour, hope it comes for summertime (Cumbria)
Ordered mine in late March, not expecting delivery until maybe July, good review 👍🏻
hey my shop just got used one in only 42 miles on it.
Cant wait for the 350 to come here to the usa..
Ordered mine in August, that same color, expecting delivery in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for the video, some useful insights. What was the natural cruising speed on the dual carriageway, ?0please

New vid with cruising speed shown.

where I live he said 2 weeks for me I ordered one - I hope you received yours?
Hi sadly the ADV only had 100 or so miles on so didn’t give it to much throttle. Once it’s run in I will let you know.
Hi new vid with cruising speed on it.
I've been trying to lay my eyes on one of these bikes. Where was that dealership and thanks for the video.
Hi it’s the shop I work at Newcastle motorcycles in the North east of England. Still have one on the floor at the min but after the 1st of March it will be out the door.
@@Geordiebiketester damn , I'm in London. I'll keep looking. Thanks
Did you have a video mounting the heated grips? Hat's the brand and model of the grips?
They are Oxford hot grips but I’m touch lost with the rest of your question. Think predictive text has kicked in.
@@Geordiebiketester did you connect the grips directly to the battery? Do you have some video explains the mounting process?
@@josehenriques2172 no grips fitted to a switch live so turn off the ADV grips turn off. I’m not that clever the workshop where I work fitted them.
Cracking bike definitely needed better suspension v forza 350 budget unit. Feet forward floorboards look very narrow. Did you ride in this position at all....
Sadly no I’m old school so always ride on the balls of my feet so I marked the ADV with boots being so far back.
The rear suspension is unfortunately awful. It could be because of it’s off road character but it’s way too firm. Forza’s suspension is far better than this one!
@@Anton-. maybe the Forza you rode was set up soft don’t forget they can be adjusted where as the ADV can’t.
With your height do you find it uncomfortable to move scooter back (by foot?) Thanks.
Hi no not at all but I work in the motorcycle industry so I’m used to shifting bikes about.
New vid have shown how easy to move around.
Can't find one anywhere (Northwest) not seen one 😒 been told next year, is it the same brake lever set up as the forza 350?
Yep Honda told us a weeks back now any new orders and it’s Feb 2023 ish for delivery. Yes it’s the same as any scooter back brake on the left front brake on the right.
we have a used one in at the min only done 42 miles on it.
why not honda heated grips ??
Very slow delivery.
I placed a order for a
ADV 350CC.
On the 9th February from Padgetts, Batley.
It has still not arrived.
7th May.
Do you know how long
The Delivery time is supposed to Take on this model.
Kind Regards
Think you need to double check your order as to have a look at the bike order overview. It will show all back orders.
if your not sorted we have just got a red one in only got 42 miles on it.
is there after market foot peg for the rider to stand?
Hi do you mean like the X-ADV for off road riding? Not seen any but will have a look on the Honda system.
Honda Spain recently said the iPhone app will be released in December.
Yeah Honda UK say the same. It will come out first on the new Hornet.
What is the oxford device on the bike ?
Hi it’s Oxford heated grips. Work great.
Is there a light in the storage ?
No not on this ADV the 750 X-ADV has..
From which shop have you purchased this bike?
I work at Newcastle Motorcycles so my father in law bought it off us.
How man, can you ask your father in law if I can have a look at his scooter??? You went past where I used to live, part of my daily commute. and the pub I go to every Thursday!

@@Geordiebiketester I can't get in till Friday morning. Thanks for the heads up

Anybody have any idea if this is coming to America?
Sorry I don’t we just deal with UK bikes.

What language is this video in please? The video also doesn’t have subtitles for me in my language, ie English.
