Re: A-XDV 350
Apart from suiting 6ft+ riders this looks like a styling and marketing exercise, specially as owners on this forum really seem to like the "ordinary" model. But considering that I have bought two different machines in the ADV style myself in the last twelve months maybe I should be the last to judge.

Re: A-XDV 350
I guess it might depend on whether there are any real benefits to the Adv model. It said it some article I read that the X-ADV has much better (or at least more expensive) suspension than the N700X. Whether anyone would notice the difference on a normal road is anyone's guess!

Re: A-XDV 350
Looks a nice bike. Must see it at the bike show to form any real opinion though. But promising. My long legs would most likely fit it.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

A taller, roomier 350 Forza with proper working suspension could be V tempting, especially if it has the same space under the seat!

I agree with you Greyerbeard, I'm already thinking of one myself; if it hits the UK.Greyerbeard wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 2:12 am A taller, roomier 350 Forza with proper working suspension could be V tempting, especially if it has the same space under the seat!
If I were to swap my SH350i for the ADV350, I'd lose the pros of SH's larger wheels and convenience of the flat floor and lower weight for, probably, ADV's smaller wheels, tunnel design but better suspension(?), hopefully underseat storage, better frontal weather protection and maybe fresher looks.
The engine, as I've mentioned before, is a smooth, punchy, beauty - so hopefully a straight swap there.
Wait and see eh?

Re: A-XDV 350
Looking at the YouTube vid “rumour” of XAdv, I think it’d be far too tall for my 5’8”. Pity because it looks quite nice.
