ADV350 Progess

Post by Greyerbeard »

Reached 2000 miles yesterday on the '25 ADV with 100 miles on dry Autumnal roads - engine is loosening up nicely now and the suspension is starting to feel like it's working properly - which is pretty much how long the previous Forza took to 'get going'.
Around 80 mpg overall (84 on computer) using performance as necessary.
Happy with all that, and the handling, as ever, is a bonus 🙂

Wow! I'm hardly putting any miles on mine as the weather here in the Lakes has been so grey and miserable, except when its been wet! Its going to be a long time before I get to 2000 miles and it starts to work properly! As ever I'm getting worse mpg figures than other people, despite riding pretty gently round the Lakes back roads without any high speed blasts - I'm getting around 74mpg, computer says 77.

Someone on another forum claimed 100mpg the other day! But he then rather gave the game away by saying he 'never goes above 5000 rpm'...

I bought mine new in May. Then was not well for a couple of months during the fine weather, and once I got better the weather got worse, so I have just passed 1000 miles. At 76 its my first scooter ever! Here's a couple of random thoughts
When I test rode one I had a strong feeling that I was being tipped off the front of the seat as there was no tank to grip. Comfort seat has cured that.
I mainly ride in N Wales where average speed cameras are everywhere. The scooter is ideal. Because of that I regularly get 80 mpg.
Its excellent 2 up. Put a Givi top box for the wife to rest against. Shes a happy bunny.
I get lots of nods from bikers. Didnt expect it.
I changed from a Honda NT 1100 - 250kg and 105hp. I don't miss the complexity of that bike or the weight. I can't nip around stuff to overtake on the ADV the way I could on a bike, so I just relax instead.
I've discovered this guy on YouTube. He really travels on his. His stuff is really well produced.
