New ADV350

Blimey the ADV350 is getting popular. Think I was the first to get one on here.

Well, once everyone had a Tmax, now there are loads of ADV350s around - despite the fact that the adventure scooter was something you never knew you needed until they invented it! Maybe we are all finding the Tmax too complex and expensive these days? I rode my mk3 Tmax yesterday for the first time since I got the ADV and its still a fantastic thing to ride on fast roads, and pretty comfortable. However the ADV is just the thing for Cumbrian back roads which resemble assault courses rather than roads!

It's cause they are light, nippy and handle really well. Mind you I'd like a forza 750 next.

Spent the day in Snowdonia on mine yesterday. Motorway to get there and back and a mixture of twisty A and B roads and single track stuff. It went like a dream on tem all.
My first scooter, should have bought one years ago.

One thing that struck me yesterday was how Tiny the Tmax mk3's underseat space looked compared to the huge space in the ADV350! Still, the Tmax does take a full face helmet, so its not too bad.

Can I be rude and ask what you weigh, Mr Grumpy? I only ask because at 73kg I would never describe the ADV (25 model) ride quality as 'just the thing' - excellent bike though it is in most respects.
Especially on the back roads between Avebury and Upavon via Honey Street which I used yesterday, and really felt for my spine and most of the component parts of the bike...was really glad of those rear 'footrests' to support my weight!
