The launch of the Honda Adv 350 is the classic example of "who gives first, gives twice".As the first 100% scooter model of the modern era, it comes to mark style.
Trail motorcycles have been the last great revolution of the two -wheeled segment.They have phagocyted the classic routeros referents such as GT versions, they have been able to camouflage as sports editions in the style of Naked variants with alternatives designed almost exclusively for asphalt and have made their figure identify with 100% valid motorcycles for the city, all thisWith a prolific fan of displacements.It is evident that they are fashion motorcycles.
But your tour is not there.This was demonstrated by Honda in 2016 with the presentation of its exclusive X-ADV, a motor-scooter hybrid that has introduced the trail concept also in the field near the scooter and with a razing success.A fact: The Honda Moto (No Scooter) best selling in Europe has been the Honda X-ADV.
Now it seems logical, with the perspective of time, the launch of a 100% scooter model following this path.And, again, Honda reaffirms as a pioneer.Already in 2020 a ADV 150 was presented in Asia that has never been seen in Europe.But for us, it is the presentation of the Honda Adv 350 that will mark a whole milestone.2022 will be remembered as the explosion of the scooters with intentions also Trail and this Honda has taken the first step, again, among its rivals.
How is the Honda Adv 350
Let's not be wrong.We are talking about traditional scooters, not as in the case of an X-ADV, full of off-road meaning from a point of view almost more in the conventional motorcycle concept.The Honda Adv 350 is established as a tool mainly in the city and outskirts, which does not wrinkle like any of its usual peers in the face of a brief output "out of black".But nothing else.
The reason is that it starts directly from the base of an entire Honda Forza 350, illustrious Scooter GT Premium with which it shares a multitude of technical characteristics, such as the entire ESP+ engine of 330 cc capable of reaching 29.2 hp (the same also alsothat the Honda Sh 350i), and the chassis, as well as electronics and details such as the seat hole.But it carries a multitude of own characteristics, and in this case inspired by reference X-ADV.
The suspensions team signed by Showa stands fundamentally.The inverted fork requires the installation of a direction system an additional aluminum bee.This solution expands the front route from 100 mm to 125 mm, that is, a quarter more.It is also accompanied behind with two shock absorbers with an independent gas deposit and an extensive 130 mm route.
In both trains we find a remarkably superior operation range that in the Honda Forza 350, and here lies one of its great secrets, because it is synonymous with comfort in progress, key to understanding this new proposal.It is something equivalent to what happens in the automobile world.SUV cars have an obvious allergy to circulate outside the asphalt, but they make it possible.This does not mean that they are defined as models designed for asphalt.Add more habitable space, superior comfort and a little fashion, so you will have the answer to why this formula is the reference today.
The off -road direction is evident in its angular and aggressive lines, in addition to an adjustable manually adjustable screen in four positions of great champion content and an almost "Dakarian" design instrumentation.The image of his tires, also with a new bill in front of his sister GT, with an image close to a few of radios and 225 gr lighter than those present in the Honda Forza 350.Maintain the measures of 15 ”/14” in front and behind, respectively, and equip tires with deep drawing, in this case Metzeler Karoo Street.The free distance to the ground amounts to the 135 mm of the Forza at 145 in this ADV.
In its equipment, it maintains the great level of the Honda Forza 350 with details such as proximity key, new invoice LCD screen with information managed from the left pineapple, space for two helmets inside its seat and with separator included, traction control in traction control inTwo modes and disconnectable, LED lights or flashing with emergency braking system.As standard wears the connectivity system by voice developed by Honda with the telephone functions, text messages, browser and music, all through Bluetooth with the Honda Roadsync app.Its operation is performed by voice orders for a high standard safety, being also accessible by the left pineapple button.For now, it is only available for Android and will also be for iPhone devices.
In the accessories catalog, you have 50 L trunk.capacity, capable of hosting two integrals (manufactured by Honda Spain itself), grill, heating fists, anti -theft and cover.
Prices and rivals of Honda Adv 350
The price of Honda Adv 350 has been established in 6.€ 250 and is marketed in bright gray colors, matt dark gray and matt red.At the moment he has no rivals, but soon he will have to compete in this space with a second member.The Kymco DT X360 will be the first scooter with trail intentions of the Modern Era of the Taiwanese brand, and with a displace.Until your presentation we will not know what your price will be.
In another territory we find the April GT.At the moment only the commercialization in our country of version 125 has been confirmed, although the brand has a 200 edition in catalog.It will be the Italian response in this terms, but by displacement it is far from the Japanese.
Therefore, the most direct rival role is at this time in the hands of the Honda X-ADV, so far in configuration and price that can really be considered as the upper step of the ADV as a teacher and student.
How's the Honda Adv 350
His most jacket is endorsed when you get on to him.The wide variable diameter handlebar that immediately distinguishes it from the present in Forza 350 gives a very off road ergonomics, with a wide seat designed to reach the ground well with both feet if the average height is around.The vision of your instrumentation and structure of your screen also affects this "adventure" sensation, as well as the presence of hands protectors.As for the screen, it is easily regulated by hand in four positions with a margin of 133 mm.
You squeeze a brake handle and press the start button.The sound seems registered mark of the Honda scooter, a delight in the ear.Softness is maximum, a real luxury.There is no vibration at any moment and all this without losing nerve in accelerations or strength in benefits.Special mention deserves the drive of the variator, impeccable both in connection and in disconnection at a pedestrian pace to trialize in the city.
Acting goat leg or easel is very simple.Only the height of its central zone makes you a little complicated to climb and get off the scooter mode.On it you have ample space to place your feet as best suits you.The driving position is surprisingly comfortable to circulate your controls for a long time.The backup design for the front seat and its fluffy is a success.Its height is only 15 mm higher than Forza 350 (795 mm) and its total weight adds only 2 kg.
The instrumentation offers good vision in all circumstances and is very complete.You can choose the information that suits you most with the arrows of the left pineapple in a very well thought out scheme.On the other hand, the vision of mirrors allow you to have everything controlled behind your back.For your frontal visibility, the front flashes are always on, which also adds premium content.
In the city it is agile of movements and with a good rotation radius, combined all always with an exquisite control response.The brakes are not aggressive, while being powerful and modulable, and at the first throttle turn you already have a thrust to place yourself in the place you need inside the traffic.In short, ease.Only a detail, which you finally get used to: the intermittency button is very close to the “Warning”, so sometimes you click the latter when pretending to cancel the first.As for the passenger, it has comfortable handles, drop -down strokes and large space on the seat.Too bad that rear shock absorbers do not have preload regulation to adapt even better to this duo use.

Its radius of action is extended to the circunvallation and highway or highways.Its almost 30 hp are noticed in maximum benefits, with score speeds of 140 km/h at 8.000 rpm effortlessly and with the roof in almost 160 km/h in favorable conditions with the tachometer already in the red line at 9.000 rpm.Even at these extremes, the softness of filming is absolute.In addition, the wind scourge is quite contained in the alturamáxima of the screen, diverting its route above your helmet and shoulders.In a very, very cheerful driving in all types of roads (city, road and highway), the indicated consumption was established in only 4.4 L./100 km.In approved consumption, 3.4 L are declared./100 km, which means almost 350 km of autonomy for its 11.7 l.of deposit.
The secret of the Honda Adv 350
But a separate mention deserve their suspensions.For me, they are the authentic reason for being of the Honda Adv 350.His figure "Off Road" is just an excuse to erect in comfort epitome.The scarce route of conventional scooter suspensions causes you to settle for an answer far from the ideal when you face asphalt in poor condition, potholes and irregularities.
With the Honda Adv 350 you discover a new world and perfectly complements its comfortable driving position.Time or kilometers on top of it, which will never seem too much.That with these wicker you can circulate outside the asphalt is always evident within limits.It is not an off road motorcycle, nor does it intend to be.I take advantage of the advantages that it offers you for this tangential profile, and you will fully enjoy your proposal.
The same qualities of trust in paths of slow or rapid curves you get with the Honda Forza 350 is repeated in ADV 350.The footprint of its front train is outstanding and responds even in driving above what is required to a medium displacement scooter with the advantage of the large lever of its handlebars.It is obvious that they are cousins-brothers also in their equipment.With the proximity key well stored in the pocket of your pants or jacket, or inside the left -capacity left gloveard (it is closed when you move away with the key), many of the barrels you need in the city or road under its seat /With the accessory trunk it is multiplied exponentially), and aspects as practical as the electronic buttons for the opening of the seat or the fuel taking, it gives you almost everything you can ask for a quality scooter.
However, you miss some points to reach the absolute premium.Does not equip parking brake, adjustable leaflets in distance, or courtesy light, all of them details that would not require great effort or excessively increase its price.This could happen with components such as an essential TFT screen, when its LCD screen meets your work with note.Better if all this was present?Yes, but the set already reaches some levels that may have competition, but not rival.

In city it is a luxury, on the road a pleasure and on the highway a magic carpet.Its suspensions and ergonomics design the most comfortable driving you can imagine in a scooter.It is a pity that lacks such useful details as the parking brake, courtesy light or adjustable handles, but it is also true that something will have to be left to evolve the Honda Adv 350 in the future in the future.
In Honda they hope their sale equals that of their reference GT Honda Forza 350.Seeing how the X-ADV has been spent, maybe it can be even more optimistic.Because credentials do not lack, and with all prestige as a pioneer.The € 200 of difference with Forza is not an obstacle to opting for one or the other.Each one has their own cards, such as its electronic GT screen as practical, although in a “adventure” model such as ADV 350 the “OFF” spirit with this manual and smaller sizes is reaffirmed.From afar, it is difficult to distinguish it from a Honda X-ADV, and that's a plus.And to have the influence of two surplites such as the X-ADV/Forza 350 binomial is to bet on the winning horse.
