    I also don't see this ADV350 much different from Forza 350, just a bit better shocks and different display (in fact I prefer Forza display anyway and shocks can be replaced if needed) . So we have to wait and see if it really handles much better than Forza, how is the wind and rain protection, seating position and legroom etc. , to see if really any better...

     

    Although some people are already sold on ADV badge and are cash in hand waiting...! (my friend included - he thinks Forza is for old men..., and I bet he thinks this ADV makes him younger...!!!? lol ????)

     

    not the same handlebar, fork, shock absorbers, tires, seat....

    Pcx is better quality. 
     

    Nmax quality is cheaper. Engines have oil passage issues. May require a new piston at 10,xxxkm... Has ABS brakes. Don’t hold their value compared to Pcx.  

     Are you serious ?

     

    i did 44.000 kilometers with the Yamaha Nmax without issues :)

     

    very high quality and perfect if you are tall 

  3. I think it s better to wait december and the motorshow in Bkk.

     

    will have many bikes with euro5.

     

    new models (maybe !)  honda x-adv 800, nc800x, AT800 ?  new kawa650 versys...? 

     

    Else cb500x is a great deal, can do off/gravel/dirt road, perfect for traveling in thailand and the price is excellent

    Triumph pricing is a bit strange in Thailand. The model i really like is the Bonneville Speedmaster, but it's 645,000 baht here, about 16,500 GBP !! In the UK it's only 11,650 GBP. You would think it would be cheaper, less VAT and labour costs.

    same story for Ducati, made in Thailand and cheaper in Europe 555

    Hm I couldn't find the switch and didn't see the paddle shifters. Maybe they were not in the same place as my AT, I wasn't looking all too much for it to be honest. Anyways the handling sucks so the bike is a no-go for me.

     

    The hypothetical 300 wouldn't have DCT anyways, will be CVT. I have not tried the newer Forza 300 but the old one also had the same boat like steering as the X-Adv.

    Also totally crazy price. There is nothing in that bike that would justify such a price. I am not sure if they are locally made or imports but import duty from Japan is 0% nowerdays so I really can't find a justification for that stupidly high price tag.

    import from Japan

    I tried it, far from a great bike. Very heavy and the handling isn't even remotely balanced. At slow speeds it wants to fall over and at higher speeds it doesn't want to lean. Didn't have manual mode for some weird reason. Overpriced for what it is imho.

    Have a manuel mode (normal or sport) for the transmission, same in Formula 1

    And auto mode.

     

    yes it s too heavy 238 kilo

    My pharmacist Buddy in CR that owns a Adv-X 750. Says while very comfortably, a bit of a boat . They system really uses up a lot of the power. I his words doesn't really feel like a 750. And at 420 K baht not really sure what market they were going for. But I could see the appeal for the 250 to a certain segment. But its bound to be pricey I'd wager

     

    In Europe the price is 12.000 Eur, exactly same TH  420.000

     

    But many people have technical problems with hot temperature, Honda changes a sensor..sometimes it s ok but not always

     

    Great bike but chain transmission (not belt like a scooter)
