Gotta laugh - every bike comparison in its class does a comparison between the PCX or Forza and - (fill in make and model here)
Why ? Because they are the class leader.
But sour grapes does add a pucker factor 555
you sure have ...

Total nonsense. As nice as the ADV is, the Forza 350 is simply a great bike. Super comfy ride, powerful, great suspension, and worth every baht. I love mine.
You can love your "bath tub" as much as you like - but Great suspension ? - you having a larf ? - why do you think so many Forza owners upgrade to YSS / Ohilns ?

Maybe read the link the Pic came from
fool ---- ed you
it fooled you enough to keep harping on about it .... As of today ( 9/11/21) - there has been no official announcement / pictures from Honda about the ADV 350 - The only actual proof of it being "on the way" is patient / copyrite applications.....
My pal Greg, who knows everything about bikes reccons it will be in the showrooms "late 2021 / early 2022"

What a totally nonsense post, some prefer one design over the other.
The ADV350 It much wider, quote from below link: the width rises from 754mm to 895mm thanks to much wider, motocross-inspired bars.
So if you ride a lot around in urban areas that will be a huge disadvantage!
Further: Selling a relatively new vehicle is money right out of the window.
My old dog PCX150 had served my well over the years and I prefer the sitting position over ADV150.

The ADV 350 will use the Forza 350 engine. so, already a no for me. The Forza looks way better than the ADV, plus the Forza has way more storage than the ADV. and with my added on Yoshimura r77 exhaust and front and rear Ohlins shocks and springs that new ADV does nothing for me. Maybe 2023 model year can change my mind but for now forza 350 all day and night
Looks better ? - what in a "riding an old bath tub kinda way" ? (ps - the ADV 350 hasn't been launched yet and there are no pictures of it out there at the mo, so how do you know the Forza "looks better" )....
Bunging a "look at me" loud exhaust and Ohlins shocks on, is, IMHO, like bunging lipstick on a pig .....
Soz and all that....

No you do not ...
If you ride - you would know that the wind noise is the deciding factor.
In cold climates all the open areas are covered up to help retain heat
Here you want as much ventilation as possible - hence the wind noise and the need for ear plugs
Get out and ride sometime
In my experience you only get wind noise from cheap helmets.
Buy a decent one and voila ! - No wind noise - Think of the money you'll save on ear plugs too - Win Win i say ....

i get it ......
You buy a bike, bung on a loud exhaust, then buy ear plugs so you can't hear the noise it makes ?
What about all the other fluckers affected with the noise when you ride past ?
Something has to be done about these illegal zorsts ....

think the best thing you can do to a Forza 350 is to sell it and replace it with an ADV 350 when it comes out next month ....
The PCX is the poor relative compared to the ADV 150 - The Forza 350 will be suffering the same fate i'm afraid....
Soz and all that ...

if it were up to me - any bike with an after market / loud exhaust would be seized by the Police - the exhaust removed and crushed - Then the only way to get the bike back would be to fit a stock exhaust, pass a DB test and pay fine plus bike strorage / removal costs....
i for one hate loud exhausts and the smug & selfish so snd so's who fit them to their bikes without giving a kipper's dick for other people's feelings...
"loud pipes save lives" total and utter borrocks ...

There's been a lot of talk about this for a while now, we are wondering what the chassis will be, it can't be the same as ADV150, so would it be more like ADV750 or the Forza...!?
I think that would make a big difference ultimately as what kind of bike it will be, handling and seating position, off road capability etc. etc. , need to wait for test drives reports, not what they put on paper...
I think it's an exciting entry for Honda, it brings a new (affordable) option to the range, ADV150 is just not up to it with power for us big farang, and although ADV750 is an amazing bike but way too expensive for what it is, this could be a nice alternative... ????
It will essentially be a re-bodied Forza 350, just as the ADV 150 is a re-bodied PCX .....

I asked in a Honda shop selling 300 (350?)Forzas, they said their not going to sell the ADV350
go and talk to the big bike shop
ADV 350's when they come out will be available at all Honda scooter shops, just like the forza 350's are - Big Wing cater for 500's and above (plus the odd sub 500 "race" bike) .... Otherwise they'll be changing their name to "Small Wing" ..lol ..
You have been comprehensively fobbed off, btw ..

The Loud exhaust gang - The net is tightening !
in Motorcycles in Thailand
Posted
It's got everything to do with loud exhausts - It's illegal to modify a bike once it has left the factory ( only exception is TIS stamped exhausts, which meet the 95db noise limit ) .
As standard fit, a Harley exhaust will have to pass very strict sound and emission laws in the US - A typical Harley over here will have had the legal zorst ( credit Poppa Al) replaced with some wizz bang nonsense, and thus make stupid anti social noise levels, way way above the legal levels.
There is no way in the reign of pig's puddin' that the Thai legal exhaust sound limit of 95DB has been increased to 99db Just for Harleys - Made me chuckle though ...
