Yes John I did look at the Forza
Thanks for that information, I'm feeling drawn towards a 300+cc scooter as my next bike.
Yes John I did look at the Forza
No idea whats the go with Honda to be honest, Doble used to have 3 or 4 of every model in stock, phone them up at 9am pick your new bike up at 2pm now 5and a half months wait !!
be interesting to hear your views on the bike Martin ,ill say how I found it tomorrow after ive collected it

Ok went for a ride this morning covered around 50 ish miles on mainly A, B and around town, this is where this bike makes more sense to me, its plenty quick enough for that type of riding, confident and comfi however this is where the suspension feels a but harsh, hit a deep man hole cover and you feel it !! but its not as bad as Im probably sounding so no biggie,
reset the trip and although not riding in the best way to conserve fuel few roll ons bit of traffic light with a Fiesta ST I was getting 76.4 mpg which is fantastic !!
only one niggle with it, when you have the Bluetooth on you cant toggle through the other trip computer functions ie Total mileage trip 1, 2 etc not sure if thats right ? ill take it up with the dealer when it goes for its first service,
the cheap and cheerful screen lip made a difference to the wind blast in the face, the Garmin XT is so much better then the App and the denali split hooters make it sound like a Ferrari rather than postman pats van,
I think ill pull the wheels off this week and spray them Gold just to jazz it up a bit and have a look for a graffix kit and a decent end can so I can be heard approaching cyclists which seemed to be a bit of a problem today
all in all its a good bike so far and it will be ideal for the purpose in which it was purchased, I doubt it will be the bike that gives me a full on robot chubby but for commuting and getting where you want to go its superb

Try it back to back with a Forza if you can, unless you don’t like the Forza of course
I don't think there's a lot if any performance difference between the ADV and the Forza I think its purely styling, I read back my prior post and it does sound like im downing the bikes performance which im really not, there's lots of lower powered bikes out there which many people are perfectly happy with, its plenty quick enough to keep up and exceed the UK speed limits
its 0-60 is still quicker than a RS2000 or 3Ltr Capri (showing my age there) ok BMW 320i so its not slow !
Hopefully you'll like it when you have had a sit on it Martin then pull the trigger, let us know what you think

Hard on
Lol

Yes after watching mark doing that hard core off roading, is what made me think why do I need my 701 when the 350adv is obviously just as capable !!!
I actually cringed when I watched that
