Nice one Chris. Similar to the deal I did on my 350. 600 miles and serviced. They really are a good all round bike. Although I never rode one from what I researched the ADV would have been too tall for my little legs. Enjoy.

Looking good Chris(the bike,not you😁)the reports from the journo’s & vloggers on the 350 engine have been very good,i have watched a fair few videos on YouTube testing both the ADV & Forza,after our breakast meet at Gilks in Kineton today we are going to Blades in Stratford On Avon(Honda & Triumph)to have a look at the Forza 350,hopefully they have the ADV there as well…

The Forza 350 looks nice in the pearl red,they had a pearl grey one as well,the electric screen adjusts by some 18cms,thats over 6 inches to most of us old farts😁it’s extremely light and easy to get on the centre stand at 184kgs compared to my 750 at 237kg,plus i have all the panniers on,i liked it and the red one is heading my way🤓

You're buying a 350 Forza, Steve?
I don't think you'll be disappointed; I read loads of stuff about poor suspension but my 350 carries my 18 stones very comfortably.
The fuel economy is very attractive, too.

Hello Mike….

Firstly how are you,after your medical procedure?

Yes……i have brought one,the big brother Forza is a fine machine,i love the dct,it’s comfortable but i am just not doing the sort of miles i used to do,i have been thinking about changing for a while,i thought about a Burgman 400 or possibly the xmax,the Honda 350 engine had so many positive reports,it seemed to be the best vfm compared to the mentioned brands and i watched the respectable vlogggers on YouTube Mark Pulling,Exeter Rider,lofty biker ect ect,not big bucks for me to change,i have gone for the intergrated heated grips,a bit lavish i know,i am not going for the Honda top box,i prefer the Givi,so have ordered the rack,mounting plate and a 56 litre box,Honda do a 35 litre manual top box £281 or the 47 litre smart box over £751.00 my tunnel bag will hopefully fit as well if needed,only thing that did worry me was the Bluetooth controller under the left hand grip,but i am not long legged,

The 350 engine is excellent. I had an ADV350 last year and loved it. Got the same engine in the sh350i I got last week. With the sh it's worth paying the (slightly) higher premium for the Honda box as it goes straight onto the grab handle/rack with no adaptor plate required.

Hello, Steve.
I'm still waiting for the summons to hospital.
I won't go into the lurid details of 24 hours' worth of 'samples' but I did receive a letter about lesions on adrenal glands which also thanked me for the 2 litres!

I look forward to hearing your observations on the new Forza.

Mike
