Thank You! Very detailed review. And a beautiful road trip! I own one myself. And the very first time i turned off traction control i had a very bad experience. Nothing to compromise this scooter! I am a novice rider. This bike is my first. I just wanted to see if there's any difference in torque... No. No visual difference. But a first circle i entered ended in accident and a variety of broken bones for me. Which makes me to suggest DON'T PLAY WITH HONDA SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL!!! Leave it on default full scale. You won't squeeze anything noticeable outta your Honda ADV350 by turning it off. Only thing you may get is being able to spin the rear wheel in an undesirable way. Drifting is not for noobs like me! LOL. Thank you for the video! Have fun driving your bikes and be safe! ... right. Gotta remember myself. "Don't turn off HSTC"... Don't do it... Got it now. Damn, this collarbone still squeeky...
It’s one of the most complete scooter. Excelent engine, suspension, comfort, safety, fuel consumption, storage. It’s excelent for the traffic of Bucharest, Romania.
@@RedCard-007 Salutare. Nu am incercat ultima generatie de Xmax dar imi place dpdv design. Am fost in dubii cu privire la alegere.

I owned a Forza 300 for 3 years and the Forza 350 for 3 years too. I traded in the 350 for an ADV. I thought the Forza was superb. However, I think the ADV is up another level. It is brilliant! The only thing I prefer on the Forza is it's excellent screen.
Hi there, thank you for the support. I touch and feel the VS once on a trade show only. And test rode "i" before 1x around an estate. The xciting is definitely more powerful than Adv350. I felt the xciting 400i is a little heavier. I'm not sure what the price of 400vs is in your location now. I didn't buy it was mainly the repairs. Their parts are hardly to get or pretty pricey in SG as compared to yamaha/honda. If the machine price and parts are reasonable, it's definitely a good touring scooter.
never. I talked to a dealer here in Sacramento and Honda has no intention of supporting this scoot in America. I had forza nss300 and eventually had to get parts from overseas or make my own. fuck honda
@@zwc888 appreciate the reply. I know the xadv350 is more ex than the xmax. In your opinion which you think is better? Saw your review on the old Xmax. Don't really like the Forza for it's styling
@@danielblitz Sportiness and Fun - hand downs Adv350. Valve for money and Storage - hand downs Xmax. If I were to buy either one brand new, I would go for Xmax (purely from best bang for the buck kind of angle).
@@zwc888 wow great info.. comfort wise for seating which you prefer? I've heard from a few xadv350 riders that it's much more comfy than xmax. some were even previous xmax owners
@@zwc888 you said that it is SGD 16 ~17k please double check this. I paid last year 6300€ which is about SGD 9k for mine with all the taxes in Germany. I also looked at the Xmax but it was more expensive. I appreciate the adjustable windshield which you can turn down in a second when it is hot and the stronger egine. The seat/rear suppension became softer and more comfortable after about 1000 km. Anyhow Honda and Yamaha has to watch the new scooters from Voge and Zontes. If I were in the market to buy a new scooter I would test drive them too.
Where can I find this info regarding the TC settings can't be changed while riding? Is it in the manual? Tried changing it and it can be change while riding. Can't find anywhere in the manual regarding this.
If we are just using the bike in SG, adv350 is the way to go. These are the few factors - easier to handle at slower traffic, weight and height - lesser heat on a hot day - bigger understand storage - lesser long term maintenance - lower cost of ownership Adv750, I felt is more suitable for a longer and wide road environment. Also the aesthetic, it looks more adventurous.
🤣 I totally see where we are going here. I also have that idea. Unless you are in these situations: 1) only hold a class 2a license 2) care more on maintenance cost 3) tried most big bikes, just want something in btw 4) above 3 pts comes with a precondition that the rider only wants ADV style kind of scooter
I'm more of the Forza 350 guy when it comes to Maxi Scoot, leaning towards comfort. ADV350 is for riders looking for a sporty scooter. Long term ownership (cost of maintenance) will be equal since both are on the same platform. Which one is more better 🤔 depending on which area we want more (comfort Vs sport)
@@fwfefrtefdv4719 both are about the same in comfort level. Handling - adv350 due to the stiffer suspension Wind Protection - Forza due the bigger electronic windshield

I have one in the UK, after a long wait! I have many bikes but often find myself using this scooter, brings a smile every time.

Te salut
Ai încercat xmax 300? Dacă da, care-ți place mai mult?

Thanks for the video review. Will be collecting my brand new adv350 this weekend!
Hello and thank you for your great review. I cannot decide between the ADV 350 and kymco xciting 400 VS…any opinion appreciated🙏 thank you.
Hi there, thank you for the support.

@@zwc888 thank you very much😊 here in Malta it’s €8400 kymco exciting 400 VS and Honda ADV €7200
Nice bike, sweet ride, my friend
Thanks 👍
Thats lit🔥 kap kum kap!
i hope it gets launched in India as well
When will they get to America?
never. I talked to a dealer here in Sacramento and Honda has no intention of supporting this scoot in America. I had forza nss300 and eventually had to get parts from overseas or make my own. fuck honda
I believe on cvt scooters that engine braking decreases alot after about 1000 miles, atleast it has on my bike!
Bro for reference how tall are u?
I'm 175cm
Subscribed! Is the test ride at leng kee?
Thank you 🙏. For Adv350, it's at Leng Kee. You will need to ring them up to make a booking

Is it available in India?
Can the Track control button be switch use on and off while riding? Or must full stop the bike then turn TC on /off?
Cannot change settings while riding. Must come to a complete stop to turn the TC on/off
Where can I find this info regarding the TC settings can't be changed while riding? Is it in the manual? Tried changing it and it can be change while riding. Can't find anywhere in the manual regarding this.
When you adjusted the windshield to the tallest setting, did you notice any flapping?
Not within 90kmph or under. Didn't manage to test it on higher speed.
damm don't have the auto windshield button
That will be for the Forza
Having ridden both , What are your thoughts comparing the adv 350 and adv 750 ?
Which one would you put your money on , esp in SG ?
If we are just using the bike in SG, adv350 is the way to go.
These are the few factors
- easier to handle at slower traffic, weight and height
- lesser heat on a hot day
- bigger understand storage
- lesser long term maintenance
- lower cost of ownership
Adv750, I felt is more suitable for a longer and wide road environment. Also the aesthetic, it looks more adventurous.
also no chain to worry about
Ok. Trading in my XAdv750 for 350. Collecting it next week. Hopefully it will be cheaper in the long run.
wish they bring this to Malaysia
🥲🥲
I guess it will, since it's already in Thai n Sg
enjoy bro now that its released for sale in malaysia
@@Amircapturedmemories definitely!! 🔥🔥🔥
The price of Adv350 is about $28k vs Tmax560 about $34K. Is there any reason not to get Tmax?
🤣 I totally see where we are going here. I also have that idea.
Unless you are in these situations:
1) only hold a class 2a license
2) care more on maintenance cost
3) tried most big bikes, just want something in btw
4) above 3 pts comes with a precondition that the rider only wants ADV style kind of scooter
Get the xmax instead fr 21k Otr. 7k is too much between the 2
how much in sg ?
If I recall correctly it's around SGD16~17k before COE
@@zwc888 whatt ??? in thailand around 7k-8k SGD
Im like.. its Singapore.. the import tax was 200% high if im not mistaken @@goomaa88
Why blur the meter?
The meter will be auto blurred when it reaches a certain speed. 🫣
So after riding the forza 350 and adv 350,which one do you prefer? And which one is more better?
I'm more of the Forza 350 guy when it comes to Maxi Scoot, leaning towards comfort.
ADV350 is for riders looking for a sporty scooter.
Long term ownership (cost of maintenance) will be equal since both are on the same platform.
Which one is more better 🤔 depending on which area we want more (comfort Vs sport)
@@zwc888 okay noted, thank you for the reply. Most likely gonna take the forza then 👍🏽
@@Afiq315 Test ride them both. The Forza has useless front forks. The ADV's are better.
@@zwc888Hi Which one more comfortable to ride? And what are the reasons?
@@fwfefrtefdv4719 both are about the same in comfort level.
Handling - adv350 due to the stiffer suspension
Wind Protection - Forza due the bigger electronic windshield
Not as neat as the ADV 160's design, I don't really like that big hole under the handlebars. Another downside is the absent of handbrake.
Yet no TFT DISPLAY
Common Honda.....bring to US market please
No tft vs xmax 250 is a greedy honda company 😂😂😂
Rarely beautiful
But truly impossible to land in PH🇵🇭 soil
Honda won't risk to loose profit and higher cost with highest PH🇵🇭 TAX😂😂😂
Out of curiosity, what's the tax rate in PH for motorcycle import?
Lopek betul honda. Screen mcm tu je bg
Bad audio 👎👎
