Honda ADV 350

In terms of dimensions, the Honda ADV350 measures 2,200 mm in length, 895 mm in width, 1,430 mm in overall height, and 795 mm in seat height. This adventure scooter also has a wheelbase of 1,518 mm and a ground clearance of 155 mm.

The Honda ADV350 flaunts a sporty, rugged look for a scooter, largely resembling its bigger sibling, the X-ADV. At the front, it sports sharp, hypermodern-looking LED headlights with an auto-winker cancellation feature, enhancing its confident fascia wherever it goes. It gets a transparent 4-level adjustable windscreen that offers decent protection when cruising at high speeds. 

Moreover, its muscular silhouette is enhanced by a stylish blend of sharp fairings, blacked-out features, and ‘adventure’ wheels finished in a gold-like shade (front: 15-inch, rear: 14-inch). Its wheels are wrapped in tubeless tyres, which deliver reliable road grip and help reduce weight. Meanwhile, at the back, it comes with an LED tail light with a modern diamond-like shape. It also comes with an emergency stop signal for increased safety at all times.

In terms of technology, the ADV350 is equipped with a 5-inch full color TFT meter panel that supports the Honda RoadSync app for easier control and connectivity while on the go. Its saddle is very well-bolstered and offers great cushioning and support for you and your passenger both on short and long rides. 

However, its bulky seat makes this motorcycle feel taller than its claimed height, which might be an issue for shorter riders. On the plus side, this scooter comes with built-in pillion grab bars, long metal foot pegs, and wide foot boards, all of which help make filtering through tight traffic more tolerable. In terms of practicality, it is equipped with a 48-L U-box with light and seat stopper, effectively accommodating two full-face helmets. It also comes with an in-console box with a USB Type-C charging port.

The Honda ADV350 comes with an Inverted Telescopic Fork suspension at the front and Twin Shock Absorbers with a Subtank at the rear. This adventure scooter is capable of taking on light off-road trails and bumpy city roads, proving that it is indeed a versatile bike. It handles sharp turns and twists confidently. And, in the city, it is very nimble to maneuver even through tight traffic. 

Powering the Honda ADV350 is a 330cc, 4-stroke, 4-valve, SOHC, liquid-cooled, eSP+ engine that delivers 21.5 kW (29 hp) of maximum power and 31.8 Nm of maximum torque. This adventure scooter comes mated to an automatic (V-Matic) transmission.

Its engine’s power delivery is punchy yet non-intimidating, making it enjoyable for both experienced and novice riders alike. It offers enough power and torque for quick overtakes on wide, open roads and light hill climbs. The highlight of its powertrain is its great fuel efficiency, supported by Honda’s Idling Stop System (ISS).

The Honda ADV350 is equipped with front and rear hydraulic disc brakes supported by a dual-channel anti-lock braking system. It also comes with built-in hand guards, as well as the aforementioned emergency stop signal and 4-level adjustable windscreen.

The Honda ADV350 presents itself as a compelling option for discerning buyers seeking an adventure-style scooter that is very rider-friendly and practical for everyday city use. It is lightweight and comfortable, yet remains rugged and confident on different types of terrain.
