Been looking endlessly through reviews and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
You're welcome, and thank you! 👊🏼
This is THE BEST REVIEW I ever watched! Man you really know what your dooing and its exciting to watch. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! 🙏🏼
I love real world review where advertiser doesn't have influence. I wanted to buy the XADV750 for the past 2 years but my Integra 750 with over 200,000 KM keeps rolling and is not dying.
Wow, 200,000 km!
I commented before and now I sold my ADV350 and I bought the new XADV.
I have to say they can’t be compared because the 350 is a scooter and behave like one but the XADV is a Motorcycle that lookslike a scooter but don’t be fooled. Is nothing like the 350.
More power, DCT, suspension, strength. The only thing similar is the looks but nothing else. If you are a biker then go for the XADV.
I like them both, but I'd choose the much more practical 350 for Thailand riding. If I had the same choice in the US, I'd go for the 750. Unfortunately, I get neither in the US. Lol

Right 👌🏼
Great review, thank you. I have a 2023 ADV 160, and the g/f has a Scoopy. Love the scoopy for quick trips to the local markets, etc, in busy traffic. A couple of months ago, i began to look for something bigger to head out to the province's for weekends away. Hired the ADV 350 for 4 days and then X ADV 750. Enjoyed the step up with both machines, but the 750 for me was something else. I enjoyed the upgrade so much i picked up the X ADV which has put the joy back into riding for me.
You're welcome, and thank you! Gig is riding a Scoopy while in Udon Thani right now, one of her favorites. That's awesome; you bought an X-ADV. Everybody should ride one at least once. It's one of the best-looking motorbikes and a very fun machine.
Could you please provide the name and location of the store you found the adv 350 for 193,500 at? I was not able to understand what you said during the video. Thanks.
Here is the link to Asia City Motor Company Limited: maps.app.goo.gl/bdTznGB8rHqqBjZv5
I have found the best prices at dealerships in the Thai areas, away from expat communities. The sales reps speak little to no English, but the prices are always better.
Thanks for the video, I have a ADV 350, agree with all. Maybe Honda launched ADV 500 cvt in 2025, expecting to see
You're welcome! 👊🏼
Dude fantastic review straight to the point. Personally , I kind of like the look of the three fifty a little more , even though the head may look a little wide compared to the 750! Have you ever ridden a bird mind four hundred and if so , would you say The 350 rides Or overall a more Enjoyable ride experience.? I lost my Bergman 650 8 years ago Thanks to a hit-and-run even though it only feels like it happened last year. I'm looking for something new Right now I am deciding on either the Kymco AK550 or this 350. Your input would be highly appreciated!
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I've only seen a few Burgman in Thailand and have yet to have the opportunity to ride one. When I sell my XMAX in the US, I plan on buying a Kymco AK550 for the experience. I purchased the XMAX over the AK550 in 2022 because Yamaha has more dealer support than Kymco.
First things first , never ever heard someone pronouncing 350/750 so much per minute 🙄😵💫.
Now I think that 750 is overkill specifically in Thailand, I never had One but I had tmax and it was too much, I think that forza , adv and xmax are golden middle. 750 has only one advantage and it's a very long distance drive...
I was surprised to see so many big cc motorbikes cruising around Pattaya in this traffic and heat when I first moved here. .
I wish they create a 350 ADV with the exact design of the 750, it looks so good that the actual 350 looks awful compared :(
That would be a better-looking ADV350, no doubt, but I don't think it looks awful right now.
If you had any chance to compare ADV 350 with BMW c400x it would be great.
I'll probably buy the BMW. Finding one to rent for a few weeks in Thailand is difficult.
We own 7 Hondas, from Honda wave to ADV-150. I find your comparison and reviews excellent, the very best, especially with two different sized riders and every day users. I had superior rear suspension fitted to my Thai lady's PCX-160 but once she got up the courage to ride my ADV-150 (a short leg problem) she said I want one like this. When I met her, at 55 years old, she had only driven a push bike. She now uses her Honda Click to tow a Chinese wheel barrow to go fishing and bring back the catch on ice. We both ride ADV-150s now. As we upgrade we lend our excess bikes to nieces and nephews, that's why Thailand is the land of smiles 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I'm happy you like the reviews, and thanks for sharing your experience! I plan to do the same as you, keeping motorbikes as I upgrade so family and friends can ride them when they visit.
Man this is the perfect review for me.
My heart was always with the 350 and you just confirmed it.
Thanks so much from Pratamnak 🙏
You're welcome; I'm glad it was helpful. 👊🏼
I think I am going with the ADV 160 just so my balls can get more cooling
Good choice. Lol
Really good comparison! Much appreciated! Thanks!
You're welcome, and thank you! 👊🏼
You're welcome! 👊🏼
awesome review. i am looking at both. but leaning towards 350 now. where is the best place to buy one of these in bangkok or pattaya? what year would you recommend for a used one? i live in bkk only for 5 months so as long as it's low mileage, but want to know what is best year for a used 350? thx
Thank you! The ADV350, 2022 - 2024. I haven't heard anything negative about its reliability in Thailand. Any year would be a safe buy when looking at used ADV350s.
X-ADV 750, 2021 - 2024. I wouldn't buy the first gen. 2017 - 2020. The DCT is much better in the 2nd generation, along with other nice upgrades.
When buying new, I found the best deals at Honda dealerships where the salespeople spoke little to no English. Expat-concentrated areas have higher prices; that's been my experience. I'm unfamiliar with BKK, but I imagine the situation is similar.
The used ADVs seem to sell fast.

Well I had 350cc Forza, so next would be 750cc :)
Nice upgrade.
Awesome comparison, would love to see adv350 vs xmax
Thank you! As soon as I get a 2023 XMAX I'll do that V.S. video.
Very decent review, Thanks for the upload. May the roads be smooth and drivers friendly to you.
You're welcome, and thank you! 👊🏼
Dct sucks man. I ride my friend xadv I thought I'm gonna die on bend
The 1st generation was much worse. Lol
You lost me when you said 750 is a "light street bike". I don't know ANY street bike heavier than that! This thing is a tank! Also the 350 must be the heaviest scooter in the category
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The X-ADV 750 feels like a light street bike to me. Its low center of gravity makes it feel similar to my CBR1000RR when I tip it over. The ADV 350 is about 10 lbs heavier than my XMAX 300; I cannot feel the weight difference. There is not a perceivable difference in weight between all of the 300-400cc scooters I've ridden. These motorbikes' low center of gravity makes them feel much lighter than they are.
I would of bought the 350 instead of the 160 if it were here in the states.
The bigger scooters are much better for the faster US roads.
I’m in a dilemma to choose between Adventure Scooter (Adv 350) & an Adventure bike (VStorm 650). Luxembourg is the base and prefer to tour arnd Southern part of Europe and Baltic nations.
Kindly share your insights.
Thank you.
Oh wow, that's a tough decision. Both are excellent. My first thought is to get the V-Strom, which is perfect for long trips at higher speeds, but the 350 is so relaxing and enjoyable once in the city. When I ride motorcycles, I'm more focused on getting to point B and tend to ride faster and in a more serious state of mind. When I ride scooters, I'm more relaxed and soak in the scenery and surroundings much more. I'd have to rent them each for a few weeks to see which is better to live with.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Thank you.
Damn all his scooter vids went viral. Hey go to the honda factory and shoot a vid
That's a good idea. I'd like to see that myself. 👊🏼

@@Honesty5538 🙏🏼
Wow, I was specifically looking for this comparrison JUST NOW and lo and behold, a comparison came out 1 hours ago haha.
So key takeaway, the x-adv 750 is you want higher top speed, the ADV 350 wins in literally all other aspects: comfort, off road safety and comfort, fuel efficiency, acceleration from full stop, passenger comfort, storage space.
Sounds like a done deal ^_^ I'll be driving in the Philippines countryside so, I won't ever get to top the 350's top speed even haha.
Excellent timing. Lol 👊🏼 The ADV 350 is so practical and an easy ride, it's a joy to live with.
350 is not even available in the philippines
350 is not even available in the philippines
That's disappointing.
Yup. I just searched for adv 350 reviews and found this yesterday.
After three reviews of the 350, and how Gig rides it I want to get a 350 for myself.
Gig loved riding that 350 for this video.
Where I live It's more like €15k and €8.5k
Wow, that's crazy! Which country do you live in?
No tft screen vs Yamaha... greedy honda brand. Purposely hold back technology... when sales stagnant then release the tft version one day
TFT screen would be a nice update.
The 2024 X ADV comes with a TFT screen.
8:08 I couldn't agree with you more
👊🏼
honda should bring 350 to the Philippines
I agree, I'm surprised it's not there yet.
Great review comparison 👍🔥. Thanks
Thank you!
Hey man true can you compare adv 350 vs kimco 350 please
I will if I can find a Kymco 350 to ride.
2:32 Horse power ADV 350 vs X-ADV 350 ?! 😱 maybe X-ADV 750 😅
Yeah, I noticed that a day after I uploaded the video. To my surprise, you're the first person to comment on that. After hours of editing, I still overlooked something.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple I also make a video for RUclips so I know that it happens sometimes :)
Very nice! Thanks Jake, you really sold it to me - I'd really love to get that 350 one day, it's a goal for sure!
You're very welcome.
Thank you for great video and honest comparison.
I owned a X-ADV 2021 for 2 years and I have loved this motorbike. Unfortunately, being a short rider I have decided to give it up because it was too much difficult to manage in Pattaya’s traffic. In addition, I couldn’t even take it up on the central stand (too heavy for me)
As the new ADV350 was released, I went for it and I am happier with it, although I miss so much the X-ADV’s DCT. Actually, these 2 bikes cannot really be compared. One is a scooter while the other is a motorbike. Both are fantastic, but for different uses 😊
Thanks again for your great job, always happy to see you in RUclips and maybe once at a Pattaya’s corner 😎🙏🎉
You're welcome, and thank you. The X-ADV is a motorcycle that identifies as a scooter Lol 👊🏼
Great video. You mentioned you had an Xmax. I am torn between buying an Xmax and ADV350. The biggest reason I want the xmax is the GPS without having to overheat my phone. What's your thoughts on both of them as a comparison?
Thank you! 🙏🏼 Both are excellent.
The XMAX has better wind protection, which is nice for riding in cool/cold weather. A front locking compartment, very convenient. An extremely comfortable seat for very long rides. I took a 12 hour trip with my XMAX split over two days down a US interstate. It's the most comfortable motorbike I've ever ridden. My 2021 XMAX has horrible headlights; I avoid night riding. I haven't verified if the 2023 and newer models have improved headlights; a few people have left comments stating the headlights are better. The brakes are ok, typical scooter brakes. The seat-unlock button mechanism stopped working a few times. WD-40 needs to be sprayed into it every so often to keep it working.
The ADV 350 is better for warm and hot climates, with much better airflow around the body and crotch area. The ride quality is excellent, by far better than any other scooter I've spent time with. The brakes are excellent, much better than my XMAX. Very good headlights for a scooter. Wide handle bars and more distance between seat and foot rest makes for a more comfortable seating position for me @ 5' 11". Acceleration is very good, much better than the XMAX from a dead stop. Although, the XMAX has a slightly higher top speed.
Ride quality is the most important thing for me riding on these Thailand roads. The ADV 350 suspension absorbs everything. The XMAX suspension is good on good road, and performs very poorly on bad road.
My XMAX review ruclips.net/video/1exbGJqsyao/видео.htmlsi=bwXKoDpSVxFfrVyM
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Thank you very much for that detailed description.
It is still a very hard decision I think I will have to end up riding both. I have my PCX150 that I will keep for zipping around tight Pattaya traffic but I want a bigger bike that I can use to go on longer tours around the Kingdom.
I really appreciate your response.
You're welcome. I like your idea. I'm thinking I'll do the same, especially since I've been riding so much in Udon Thani.
I prefer Honda Forza 350 to this ADV 350/750
I’am looking forward to your review on Honda Forza 350 2024
I look forward spending time with a new Forza to compare it.
To tell the truth, I'd love to buy the (new) Africa Twin - with the DCT.
But I'm short (1.69 m) - with short legs, as well.
So, the X-ADV 750 looks like the best alternative option - right?
I like, also, the Rebel 1100 - again, with the DCT - for its low sitting position; besides, I used to be a Harley Davidson owner, when I was younger. But its (very) low fuel tank capacity holds me back.
I have a third option, too. The Yamaha TMAX 560. I like its design and its performance.
Nonthaburi, here... So, as you realize, many times, sooner or later, I will face gravel and other off-road conditions.
Between the three models I mentioned - X-ADV, Rebel, TMax - which one do you suggest?
(Or, maybe, you have something else in your mind?)
Thanks in advance!
I would get the 1100 African Twin and lower it. The others are great fun to ride, but if I choose a bike to live with, I'm selecting the African Twin. It will give me the best ride quality and is perfect for tackling any road condition. Of course, I would also have to have a small CC city scooter to go along with it. Lowering is cheap and easy.
The Transalp 750 is one I'd consider also, but I'd be missing the DCT.
In europe would you buy a new 350 for 6500or a two year old xadv with 20,000 kilometers for 8000 euro in perfect condition.. am trying to decide which one to go for.. for a blend of city and country riding often with a passenger… am not into speed.
I'd get the X-ADV at 8,000. I like being the second owner of like-new motorbikes. Those are the best deals. You can always get a 350 later.
Exactly what I've been looking for. A very informative and helpful review. Thank you and ride safe!
You're welcome, and thank you. 👊🏼
Great vid as ever Jake -- Keep up the good work....
Thank you, Dave! 👊🏼
This is a very good review of 2 bikes, living with a bike is super important, unless you just want to look cool X-ADV has so much cool factor going for it, it loses out on so much scooter practicality. I have a Xmas, I couldn't live without the phone charger and the storage room. Looking cool is just not that important.
Thanks, and I agree. Looking cool was important to me when I was a young fella. lol
XMAX has the best front storage compartments. 👊🏼
Another great review, thanks Jake! What I haven't been able to find a good review of, is the adv 350 compared to the BMW C400 GT. If you have the possibility to do that, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
You're welcome, and thank you! I've considered buying the BMW just for the experience and to make a review. I want to compare it to the XMAX and ADV 350.
Great review! 👏👏
The 350 would be good enough for me as a commuting bike. 👍
Thank you. 👊🏼
Wow, in Denmark the 350 cost around 85000,- dkk. Too expensive in Denmark.
I feel lucky to have these in Thailand.
I have been riding PAS 1250 in Saigon where it was so hot during summer. I am about to exchange either xadv 750 or 350 and your vid given me a full and clear picture. Thanks Jake and subscribed.
You're welcome, and thank you! I remember riding in Saigon years ago in May. 🔥🥵
Honda should make a 500cc X-ADV.
At 500cc, Honda could build it as a real scooter with CVT, making it much less expensive than the X-ADV 750.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple I’ve been thinking that 500 doesn’t give Honda any profit them because they still have Rebel,CB,CBR,CL,NX500
Which means their manual bikes will sell less.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple but, at the same time I want a cheap 471cc scooter
About 22x,xxx Baht bracket.
ADV350 is the one. Also it’s more than half the cost of the X-ADV750 and has a larger under seat storage compartment. Only problem is they don’t sell the ADV350 in the states unfortunately so have to settle for my 150 for now and if a 350 or maybe a 500 ever arrives it’s time to trade up. Definitely agree top carriers don’t look that great, are expensive and usually only have about 30L which is enough to carry a helmet. I have a tour top bag that expands from 40Lto 60L and it’s less bulky than a hard carrier and is easy to strap on and off and no rear rack needed.
I have the XMAX in the US. The Kymco AK550 and BMW C 400GT are also good options but are much more expensive. The ADV 350, being priced similarly to the XMAX, would go over well in the US.
ADV 350 is 7500e in Europe
I feel very lucky to be living in Thailand as a motorbike enthusiast.
Any chance Honda will make the ADV 350 available to the US market? I can’t seem to find out from anybody.😖
Unfortunately, the ADV 350 won't be available in the US. Most salespeople I've spoken with in the US don't know about the ADV350. I never realized how many wonderful motorbikes we Americans were missing out on until I moved to Thailand. The ADV 160 became available in the US a year after it had already been available in Asia and Europe. The US needs the 300cc + scooters.
Awesome review 👍
Agree on everything
I’m a 350 owner 🙂
Thanks! 👊🏼
The problem I have with the ADV and X-ADV is that all of its panels are all angular. It looks like some fake star wars thing. They make it look almost like a motorcycle which is not a positive. Also really not a fan of the wire spokes.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I can see Star Wars in the gray-colored ones, for sure. Lol
I agree that Honda made the 750 look more like a motorcycle. I love the look; I think it looks great.
The 350 is more bubbly than the very angular 750. They both look good to me, but I would have chosen different colors if I were to buy them.
Good comparison vid. Told me what I wanted to know. Don't be shy mate, that was your purse under the seat.😂
😂 Yeah, you got me figured out! I'm glad you liked the video. 👊🏼
For me the 750 defeats the purpose of the scooter convenience, I can lay out the same cash I would pay on the 750 for a balls out motorbike..by comparison the 350 now that's right in the sweet spot..
I have similar thoughts. 👌🏼
What a vid!! Thank you!
You're welcome, and thank you! 👊🏼
Awesome review man thanks! Really helped with my decision on getting the 350 😁
You're welcome, and thank you! I'm happy it was helpful. 👊🏼
What do you think about the forza 350 compared to the adv 350? Trying to decide what to buy.
Riding in warm to hot climates with damaged road conditions and off-pavement riding, the ADV 350 is the best choice. The ADV has much better ride quality. I enjoy riding the ADV because I feel like I can run over anything and take it anywhere.
The Forza 350 is a better option for riding in a four-season climate with cool to cold fall through spring temperatures. The ride quality is good when riding on good to excellent pavement conditions. The Forza has much better wind protection. It is too hot for Thailand but great for cold-weather riding.
ADV350 hands down but unfortunately not available in the United States. We can hardly find the ADV160 and our color choices are only a flat metallic red and it only has front disc brakes.
Americans are missing out on so many wonderful motorbikes.
Great video. I have the 350, and i'm really happy with it. I do often look at the 750 and wonder if I should make the switch.
However, my scooter is my only vehicle here in Asia, so the 350 is the better option with things like the under seat storage, etc.
The revhead in me wants to try the 750 tho.
Thank you! The 350 is more enjoyable to live with because it's more versatile and practical than the 750. If I had the 750, I would also have an ADV 160 or Click 160 for city commuting.
All bikes need an active quick updating mpg meter. My last bike an Aprilia Shiver 750, not meant to be a frugal machine had a live MPG reading that made it really easy to find the mpg sweet spot. My current bike just has a slow updating every 15 mile or so reading that you can't easily use to find out what speed and rpm is the most efficient.
On my Aprilia I learnt that simply riding low RPM wasn't the key. It was to be in gear 4 at around 4000rpm which would be about 37mph or so. It would do 65mpg
Interesting information, thank you for sharing.
I just got XDV250i (Longjia), but after watching this video, I’m going to upgrade to the ADV350 when it arrives in Malaysia.
Nice! 👌🏼
Top box is needed bro, where you gonna put that box of Leo’s from the market😂
Right, Lol
Good review, i own the forza 750, its an similar bike on the same frame and engine but more touring focused, Aldo i do like the Xadv 750 design more. I really love how they drive, fantastic machines. The forza 750 has a lot of the same pros and cons including the keyless key issue :).
Thank you! The DCT sure makes for a fun ride.
Enjoyed your excellent and practical review! Own a X-ADV 750 2023 and the DCT is such a joy to ride. When up to speed, its fantastic to maneuver. But I underestimated its weight on full-lock slow turning and bike tipped over. Lucky i had full crashbar to protect the bike. Wonderrful bike to get my passion for riding back.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! 👊🏼
I have an adv 350 and am thinking of getting a xadv 750 next year what do you suggest I wanted your opinion
If you haven't already, you should rent the X-ADV 750 for a few days. See what it's like to live with compared to your 350.
Great review. Need either in the US. The ADV160 doesn't cut it. I'd prefer the 350...
Thank you! I agree, we need the bigger 300cc+ scooters for the faster US roads.
I'm a Russian speaker, my English is bad, but your English is very accessible and correct, very informative video, thank you very much, make more videos, good luck in your endeavors
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Hi do you think 6’4 would be doable? Thanks
Hi, if I understand your question correctly, both motorbikes will accommodate a 6'4" person. The X-ADV has more legroom and feels more spacious overall.
Yea so no problem with knees hitting the steer or the bike looking like a mini bike😂
@@Bigpoppavery No, of course not. They never feel too small. 😂
Fair review.
Regarding the summary of Pros and Cons in the end I should point out some aspects that have direct influence on the X-ADV.
The X-ADV has the option of rider footpegs for offroad standing. There's Honda's and there's cheaper after-market options. Those who tried it say it's much better, even if not doing offroad.
The X-ADV usually sells with fully adjustable front suspension. It comes tuned for road use, which means a stiffer configuration. But f you have bad roads or want to use it offroad, you can soften it on compression and rebound.
The back suspension I think it's only adjustable on pre-load. Do check. The specs for the X-ADV might not be the same on your market.
But can't beat the under seat storage on the ADV350. Seems to fit a full surf board.
Thank you for sharing information. 👌🏼
It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on a Yamaha qbix 125! Your motorcycle/scooter-videos are entertaining!
I'll have to get my hands on one for a week. 👊🏼
Hi Jake, thank you for all helpful information between these two really nice bikes. In my opinion cruise control would be nice with X-ADV
and Colorful screen for ADV 350
Hello, and you're welcome. 🙏🏼 I agree, that would be a nice upgrade for both.
Best review I have seen so far, real talk no bs.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Pattaya,great city,great review!
Thank you! 👊🏼
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple rgds from Split
Awesome, was looking for comparison since a long time.. Riding a 750 and agree with everything. For me the main downside is the weight in traffic situation at low speed between cars better being careful when the bike is on the uneven white paint or between the concrete. Easy to loose balance.. Great bike but a reasonable choice would have been the 350. Half the price for a very close result and look.
That 750 is fun, but can be stressful and tiring riding in heavy traffic.
You hit the nail on the head. I ride the 350 it's by far the best scooter for the money. I can't agree when you said the less things on the back are better. How about your wife?
😂 That's true, I think Gig would agree.
Very informative, Jake. I'd rather like to own both of them. Nick
Thanks, Nick!
Nice ride..but i could not even afford adv160😅
👊🏼
Very informative, wife and I have a 20 year old Honda Wave 100 and though it’s still a good scooter I am feeling like an upgrade may be in the future. This was a great video comparison with real world knowledge. Thanks for making the video for us. 🙏🏼
You're welcome, and thank you!
Cant wait the Xadv 350 launch in Malaysia!
I looks like there will be 4 color options in Malaysia. 👌🏼
Nice one !
Thanks!
step aside Steven Spielberg 1 ... Jake Snow is in town , good review
😂 Thank you! 🙏🏼
I priced the ADV 350 at low 180s in Buriram last week.
Nice!
WHY on a SO not cheap X-ADV750 - NO Cruise Control ??!!?? - Because Honda wants to sell more of the most expensive models - from the 1100cc line.... And this is VERY BAD for very many. WE - do NOT desire to throw more money on fuel, than needed to get somewhere. This bike is a commuter / work / shopping tool. NOT a racer. So if I need to ride some 20 - 30 km on highway, and I'm 45 + yrs old - my "throttle hand" WILL most probably start getting numb / freezy.... It means - a CC is a NESSECITY - not a luxury. Not to mention the center of gravity on the 1100 cc bikes - thet is not a good thing for many over 50 ! But Honda thinks otherwise - so they can stick this bike deeeeep in their own REAR END !!!!! ‼‼🤷♂🤷♂
The X-ADV is $2,500 more than the NC750X. It does seem like Honda could have thrown in the cruise control.
I have Xadv, it does not need CC. It has 13.2 lt tank which doesn't go long range. It's not a commuter or work bike. It's a concept bike for shorter ranges and mild off-road. If you want a commuter bike try Nc750...
@@verbummentis
Well, maybe YOU dont need a CC. Many, as I've mentioned, have a problem with the "throttle hand". So on a bike with NO clutch - that can be presse to let the bike slide - YES , a CC is very much needed.
The NC750X DCT, I had for 3 yrs....
@@sandwaves5642 like i said the tank is so small, so your hand won't get numb. Cc is needed in nt1100, it has...
I agree; I think CC is a luxury. The NC750X fuel tank is about the same size, at 3.72 gal (14.1 liters), and the DCT model weighs only 27 lbs. less than the X-ADV. I assumed the riding range, experience, and use would be similar between these two.
Both of these bikes good for a fat bastard(over 300lbs)?
Lol, yes, of course. Gig rides with me often. Our combined weight is 295 lbs. The scooters, including the ADV 160, have no problems hauling us around. I see many big guys, 250 lbs.+, riding 160 cc and smaller scooters, although I can't imagine that being an enjoyable experience, due to the cramped seating.
Amazing… I have a Honda CBR1000rr… a racing bike beast… and it only weighs what the ADV 350 weighs.
The CBR1000RR is a fun ride! 👊🏼
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple For sure. I bought mine when I was 68 years old… last year… and although I have been riding all my life, I wondered if I was crazy. After riding it for one minute, I realized it was the best purchase I have ever made!!! So much fun 🤩
Well done video. I will make A2 in sept. 24. Scooter ADV 350 is waiting for me in the shop. Are there any issues with keyless operation? Forza or ADV 350. I have seen one video with keyless troubles.
I have model year 2021, Pcx 125. 16000 km. No problems with keyless operation. No problems at all, zero! That's because I want Honda.
Thank you! 🙏🏼 Keyless operation has been flawless on every Yamaha and Honda scooter I've ridden, except for the intermittent issue with the X-ADV 750 key. I love Keyless!
Keyless is one thing that is avesome. But only, without problems.@@JakeSnowLiveSimple
Thank you for giving your frank opinion. I got a XADV 750, and I agree with all you have mentioned 👍
You're welcome. 👊🏼
This video helped so much. Am definitely going for the 350. Am 6' 2" but hey still going for it.
Awesome, I'm happy it was helpful! You'll love that 350.
Did you get it? I'm 6'2 also. Would love to hear your report
@@bee3092Same height and got the 350 a few months ago. Works ok, very fun to ride.
If you were going on a cross border tour would you take the adv 350 or the x max 300
In Southeast Asia I'm taking the more capable ADV 350. It's the best all terrain, any road condition scooter right now. I was recently in Laos thinking about this.
If I was riding in a cooler/cold climate on US interstate quality roads I would take the XMAX.
Thank...is good comparison and good reference for me.
I'm glad you liked it. 👊🏼
Cool review. Thanks for posting/sharing. Cheers you two! :)
Thanks, and you're welcome!
Greetings from Turkey. It was a very good review video. I'm waiting for the 2024 models to arrive in my country. I hope I will get one.
Hello, and thank you! 👊🏼
If you can get hold of a Tmax do Xmax vs Tmax comparison, that's probably a better and closer comparison. One thing to bear in mind is wind and rain protection, head, body and legs. Xmax and Forza are better than any ADV in this respect, on 5 hour tour it makes a difference.
Interesting to hear the very much advertised for off-road XAdv is not so good off-road...!!! 😅
I can get a TMAX. The new XMAX has been a challenge to track down.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple yes, for sure also test drive the new Xmax, I heard they have improved a few things, specially the headlight that you, and many others, complained about...
But I really want to know if, like XAdv to Adv350, the Tmax is too heavy and cumbersome to manoeuvre to worth the extra power and speed, in comparison to Xmax...!?
You confirmed what I thought. Thx. Sadly.. it appears the 350 will never come to the Philippines.. I'm kind of stuck with XMAX
Same reason I have an XMAX 300 in the US, no ADV 350.
@JakeSnowLiveSimple why do they even make them if they can't be purchased. I can get a ADV X here..but way too big for my needs..
I'm surprised the X ADV is available there but not the 350.
These bikes are for rich expats living abroad. Forget these. Get yourself something you can work on yourself and save thousands.
Maintenance and repairs on these motorbikes are easy and inexpensive. That's been my experience in Thailand.
200k and 400k thb and maintenance is very cheap.
I know you have a Thai motorcycle license.
I got a Thai "motorcycle license" in 2022 through my U.S. state motorcycle endorsement. However, I think it is only for riding a moped/scooter, not for a big bike. (Back of the license shows a picture, which looks like a scooter but not 100% sure.) My U.S. state motorcycle endorsement (license) is for unlimited engine size because I went through training and tested on a crotch rocket (1000cc - Kawasaki Ninja ZX1000R). I don't know if this is a mistake on the Thai license or what. Any idea?
I only have an international driver's license and a US driver's license with a motorcycle endorsement. I've been stopped a few times at checkpoints in Thailand, the police only looked at my International license. I've never had a problem. There are no distinctions made for engine size on the Thai license or the others.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple thanks for the info. I was not sure about the one license fits all for motorcycle size.
You're welcome. 👊🏼
สวยเท่หล่อทั้งคู่นะครับชอบๆ750
👊🏼
I really like to clear and usefull way you compare these scooters!
But that was not a 3 seconds headstart it was one second :)
😂 I noticed that when I was editing the video. My 3-second count was rushed, to say the least. I'll be more disciplined next time. I'm happy you like the reviews. 👊🏼
