Interesting thanks. How did you find the power delivery on them all? With the SH being the lightest does it feel the quickest?Mister Paul wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 6:19 amI've had a 390 Forza, sh300, adv350 and I'm currently on an sh350i.Bingo wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 1:50 pm Thanks for the replies. Im still undecided. I had two rides out on the Vstrom on Sunday. The first I was thinking get rid but I kind of recovered a bit of my mojo on the second. I think its only a matter of time though. I reckon all I can do is get down to Padgetts or anywhere that has all three as a demo (that could be tricky to find) and try them. Watched plenty of videos. I like the SH being a step through like my vision but Im not so keen on the lack of weather protection (screen) and that big Honda Screen looks dreadful. The screen on the Forza looks amazing thought but its bigger and heavier. Same goes for the ADV I guess.
I wonder if there is a smaller screen for the SH. Im going to guess that the SH will be a tad quicker than the other two being lighter and maybe easier to chuck about?
Comfort wise believe it or not I've found the sh's the best. I tripped to France on the sh300 and had no comfort issues. The ADV is great but protection isn't good.
For the sh350i I got the Honda screen as the brackets come with it. Barn door, but absolute coverage. Givi do a screen which goes onto the Honda brackets which I have and is great but not enough for the winter. So I cut down the Honda tall screen by 45mm and no I can see over it easily but the wind goes over my head so visor-up motorway speeds is possible.
In terms of handling the sh is the most motorcycle-like. Really fun.
I will go and try one at some point in the Spring probably but Im a little torn now as I had a good proper ride out on the Vstrom yesterday and I kind of remembered why I fell in love with it. Its a storming bike. Then I remembered what I hated about it when I came to clean it.

It might be a case of try the scooters and keep the Strom as long as possible until it gets too much. Ideally I would like three bikes in my garage. The Vstrom, a big Honda Scoot and the little Vision 110 I also have. No room and the chancellor wont like it.
