I love real world review where advertiser doesn't have influence. I wanted to buy the XADV750 for the past 2 years but my Integra 750 with over 200,000 KM keeps rolling and is not dying.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Wow, 200,000 km!

[@mikedakiwi]

Great review, thank you. I have a 2023 ADV 160, and the g/f has a Scoopy. Love the scoopy for quick trips to the local markets, etc, in busy traffic. A couple of months ago, i began to look for something bigger to head out to the province's for weekends away. Hired the ADV 350 for 4 days and then X ADV 750. Enjoyed the step up with both machines, but the 750 for me was something else. I enjoyed the upgrade so much i picked up the X ADV which has put the joy back into riding for me.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

You're welcome, and thank you! Gig is riding a Scoopy while in Udon Thani right now, one of her favorites. That's awesome; you bought an X-ADV. Everybody should ride one at least once. It's one of the best-looking motorbikes and a very fun machine.

[@mikedakiwi]

6 months in with this bike and i love it. Just rode up North to Nakhon Sawan from Pattaya with the g/f , side panniers with soft luggage(35 Liters each) and a 65litre rear box. Rock solid on the road and would sit at around 100-130km/hr on the open roads. Rode through some heavy rain and mild flooding, not by choice but this bike was a tank. Regarding CC it would have been good to have on the long straight road sections but for me not a big issue. Im 6'2, 210 pnds and when fully loaded with g/f and luggage the bike requires respect especially through towns and traffic....all in all i love riding this bike everywhere and dont regret the outlay at all.

[@bobjuniel8683]

We own 7 Hondas, from Honda wave to ADV-150. I find your comparison and reviews excellent, the very best, especially with two different sized riders and every day users. I had superior rear suspension fitted to my Thai lady's PCX-160 but once she got up the courage to ride my ADV-150 (a short leg problem) she said I want one like this. When I met her, at 55 years old, she had only driven a push bike. She now uses her Honda Click to tow a Chinese wheel barrow to go fishing and bring back the catch on ice. We both ride ADV-150s now. As we upgrade we lend our excess bikes to nieces and nephews, that's why Thailand is the land of smiles 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I'm happy you like the reviews, and thanks for sharing your experience! I plan to do the same as you, keeping motorbikes as I upgrade so family and friends can ride them when they visit.

[@shogoonp.bechler4601]

Thank you for great video and honest comparison. I owned a X-ADV 2021 for 2 years and I have loved this motorbike. Unfortunately, being a short rider I have decided to give it up because it was too much difficult to manage in Pattaya’s traffic. In addition, I couldn’t even take it up on the central stand (too heavy for me) As the new ADV350 was released, I went for it and I am happier with it, although I miss so much the X-ADV’s DCT. Actually, these 2 bikes cannot really be compared. One is a scooter while the other is a motorbike. Both are fantastic, but for different uses 😊 Thanks again for your great job, always happy to see you in KZbin and maybe once at a Pattaya’s corner 😎🙏🎉

Great comparison video..X-ADV has extra pegs (optional fitted) for off-road upright riding. I currently have a ADV 160 Ketico SE 2023 and a 2018 X-ADV 750. Small one for everyday local usage and the big one for touring. Plus a CRF 250 motard for fun. Very happy😎😎

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

You're welcome, and thank you!

[@zakit]

Fair review. Regarding the summary of Pros and Cons in the end I should point out some aspects that have direct influence on the X-ADV. The X-ADV has the option of rider footpegs for offroad standing. There's Honda's and there's cheaper after-market options. Those who tried it say it's much better, even if not doing offroad. The X-ADV usually sells with fully adjustable front suspension. It comes tuned for road use, which means a stiffer configuration. But f you have bad roads or want to use it offroad, you can soften it on compression and rebound. The back suspension I think it's only adjustable on pre-load. Do check. The specs for the X-ADV might not be the same on your market. But can't beat the under seat storage on the ADV350. Seems to fit a full surf board.

[@ClassicCase]

Wow, I was specifically looking for this comparrison JUST NOW and lo and behold, a comparison came out 1 hours ago haha. So key takeaway, the x-adv 750 is you want higher top speed, the ADV 350 wins in literally all other aspects: comfort, off road safety and comfort, fuel efficiency, acceleration from full stop, passenger comfort, storage space. Sounds like a done deal ^_^ I'll be driving in the Philippines countryside so, I won't ever get to top the 350's top speed even haha.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Excellent timing. Lol 👊🏼 The ADV 350 is so practical and an easy ride, it's a joy to live with.

Thanks for the info, I remember the 2018 X-ADV 750 had folding foot pegs for standing.

[@MindfulMoments-hx5gu]

I must say that this is one of the best comparison reviews I have come across! Initially, I owned a Forza350, but after using it for three months, I decided to switch to the ADV 350. I was contemplating whether I should upgrade to an xADV, but after reading the review, I have a better understanding and have decided to stick with the ADV 350. I completely agree with your opinion regarding top boxes-they can really ruin the appearance of any bike. Thank you so much!

Great review comparison 👍🔥. Thanks

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

[@laurentpousse1361]

Awesome, was looking for comparison since a long time.. Riding a 750 and agree with everything. For me the main downside is the weight in traffic situation at low speed between cars better being careful when the bike is on the uneven white paint or between the concrete. Easy to loose balance.. Great bike but a reasonable choice would have been the 350. Half the price for a very close result and look.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

That 750 is fun, but can be stressful and tiring riding in heavy traffic.

[@paulietv2162]

Hey Jake, great vid as usual - nice to meet you the other week. My red 350 was 186,400 on-road on 2nd Feb and after a few weeks out of stock the same dealer (Honda Bigwing Udon Thani) now has a delivery of matt black ADV 350's at 188,900 on-road cost. Brand new Forza's at the same dealer were 182,000 with roadsync a couple of weeks ago This is the cheapest dealer I have come across for these bikes, but as you saw the guy below reckons they are even cheaper in Buriram.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

[@Alsinsin]

Geat review. I have been riding a NMax for the past few years. This was the perfect tool for moving around Bangkok. Now that I am spending most of my time in Siracha, I was looking for something more capable. I was thinking about getting the ADV350 a few month ago. Then I saw the Triumph Scrambler 400x. That Triumph has almost 40% more power and torque, even better suspension and is cheaper! The only one thing that is better on the ADV is the storage which is inexistant on the 400x which will require a top box. A few could prefer the CVT but the gearbox and clutch on the Triumph is super smooth so to me it is not an issue. Traffic jams in the area are not as bad as the one in Bangkok.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you. Those small motorcycles are a blast to ride! I recently spent a week riding a ZX6RR and, yesterday, a 390 duke. However, the storage, and ease of use in heavy traffic is why I prefer to live with scooters. The plastic on the scooters also keeps the heat off of my legs. I always wear jeans on motorcycles, but my legs still cook riding in South East Asia heat, especially March - August.

[@RogerCanda]

I just got XDV250i (Longjia), but after watching this video, I’m going to upgrade to the ADV350 when it arrives in Malaysia.

Thank you! The DCT sure makes for a fun ride.

[@colinhead284]

Hi Jake , here in the UK i've had my 2024 blue adv350 since 2nd week in feb , now with 1800 miles on the clock another good point is going through floods (2 months of nearly constant daily rain) i haven't had to back track once , and when you stand up on the 350 you're right you also have more control slower riding ( specially through floods !! )

This is a very good review of 2 bikes, living with a bike is super important, unless you just want to look cool X-ADV has so much cool factor going for it, it loses out on so much scooter practicality. I have a Xmas, I couldn't live without the phone charger and the storage room. Looking cool is just not that important.

Great video. I have the 350, and i'm really happy with it. I do often look at the 750 and wonder if I should make the switch. However, my scooter is my only vehicle here in Asia, so the 350 is the better option with things like the under seat storage, etc. The revhead in me wants to try the 750 tho.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you! The 350 is more enjoyable to live with because it's more versatile and practical than the 750. If I had the 750, I would also have an ADV 160 or Click 160 for city commuting.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

[@Hello-yn9pf]

ADV350 is the one. Also it’s more than half the cost of the X-ADV750 and has a larger under seat storage compartment. Only problem is they don’t sell the ADV350 in the states unfortunately so have to settle for my 150 for now and if a 350 or maybe a 500 ever arrives it’s time to trade up. Definitely agree top carriers don’t look that great, are expensive and usually only have about 30L which is enough to carry a helmet. I have a tour top bag that expands from 40Lto 60L and it’s less bulky than a hard carrier and is easy to strap on and off and no rear rack needed.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I have the XMAX in the US. The Kymco AK550 and BMW C 400GT are also good options but are much more expensive. The ADV 350, being priced similarly to the XMAX, would go over well in the US.

[@sezaitugsavul3774]

Hi Jake, thank you for all helpful information between these two really nice bikes. In my opinion cruise control would be nice with X-ADV and Colorful screen for ADV 350

[@InsanitiesBrother]

All bikes need an active quick updating mpg meter. My last bike an Aprilia Shiver 750, not meant to be a frugal machine had a live MPG reading that made it really easy to find the mpg sweet spot. My current bike just has a slow updating every 15 mile or so reading that you can't easily use to find out what speed and rpm is the most efficient. On my Aprilia I learnt that simply riding low RPM wasn't the key. It was to be in gear 4 at around 4000rpm which would be about 37mph or so. It would do 65mpg

[@mikeyoung1363]

Great review. I owned a ADV 160 and quickly moved onto the ADV 350. The next decision is Africa Twin DCT versus XADV 750. I think the Africa Twin wins now I have seen this review and others. The XADV 750 twice the price of the ADV 350 but clearly not 'twice the bike'.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you! I think the same, at that price I'd rather spend a bit more and buy the African Twin. I'd keep a small scooter for city riding.

[@josephgeorgeejr7039]

Don't overlook the nc750x, is much cheaper than Africa twin without being cheaper, great gearbox in nc750x great touring bike, and a better next step from adv 350 ,well not better next step, just a shorter next step lol But these sobs in u.s. will not bring adv 350 to u.s. and that pisses me off big time

[@rainergieringer7600]

Hi, was thinking the same, since I live currently in Turkey, the price difference of XADV and NT1100DCT is minimal. will get an ADV 350 first and then upgrade to NT :) and currently the promote the Kymco AK 550 as well :). Great review. as my wife will be the first time a pillion, I am sure she thinks the same as your wife... prefers the lower pillon ride :)

[@davgb7904]

There's a stupid stigma against machines like this in the UK, very different from European countries like France or Italy. This is superb comparison - honest blow by blow and not automatically favouring a bigger engine as so many do. I'm a big engine 'conventional' biker - in the UK - who's becoming a convert to scooter style machines prompted perhaps by age and ageing body. I downsized to an NC750X a few years ago, but wondered then if the X-ADV was a better choice. Now I'm beginning to see the wisdom of the smaller step-thru machines and the ADV350. I can see the good points of the 750, but it's clear that the 350 can hold it's own. Thanks.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I was the same in the US for many years, thinking I needed at least 1000cc for an enjoyable ride until I visited Vietnam in 2015, I quickly realized scooters are fantastic!

[@davgb7904]

​@@JakeSnowLiveSimple The US of course has always loved cubic inches, and HD are a prime example of 'oversized' engines. Yet they offered/offer a more torque laden ride rather than over-powering one. But yes! All victims of some fashionable 'need' for something we really don't need. The good outcome is all the super-tech of the monster bikes has trickled down to the smaller and mid range bikes and scooters. Thanks again.

[@remektekmedia6641]

Excellent review. You've got a new subscriber. I have a BMW C400GT as well as a BMW R1200RT and wish the C400GT had a little more power and a parking brake. Looks like the XADV delivers on power, but little else, at least for me. What do you think of the BMW C400GT? What would be your recommendation for best larger capacity scooter?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank You! I like the refinement of the BMW, an expensive premium scooter that would be perfect if it had at least 10 more HP and more storage capacity that matched the XMAX and ADV350. I expect more power at double the sale price (in the US) of an XMAX. Living in Thailand, the best 300cc+ scooter is the ADV 350. I like its acceleration, storage, and ride quality most. I love the power of the 500cc+ twin-cylinder scooters, but the loss of storage space, weight/size, and price defeats the purpose of a scooter for me. I like my XMAX very much, but the acceleration from a dead stop is very soft compared to a Forza or ADV350.

Great review!

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you very much!

Dude fantastic review straight to the point. Personally , I kind of like the look of the three fifty a little more , even though the head may look a little wide compared to the 750! Have you ever ridden a bird mind four hundred and if so , would you say The 350 rides Or overall a more Enjoyable ride experience.? I lost my Bergman 650 8 years ago Thanks to a hit-and-run even though it only feels like it happened last year. I'm looking for something new Right now I am deciding on either the Kymco AK550 or this 350. Your input would be highly appreciated!

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I've only seen a few Burgman in Thailand and have yet to have the opportunity to ride one. When I sell my XMAX in the US, I plan on buying a Kymco AK550 for the experience. I purchased the XMAX over the AK550 in 2022 because Yamaha has more dealer support than Kymco.

[@PATRIOT-gt5vr]

awesome review. i am looking at both. but leaning towards 350 now. where is the best place to buy one of these in bangkok or pattaya? what year would you recommend for a used one? i live in bkk only for 5 months so as long as it's low mileage, but want to know what is best year for a used 350? thx

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you! The ADV350, 2022 - 2024. I haven't heard anything negative about its reliability in Thailand. Any year would be a safe buy when looking at used ADV350s. X-ADV 750, 2021 - 2024. I wouldn't buy the first gen. 2017 - 2020. The DCT is much better in the 2nd generation, along with other nice upgrades. When buying new, I found the best deals at Honda dealerships where the salespeople spoke little to no English. Expat-concentrated areas have higher prices; that's been my experience. I'm unfamiliar with BKK, but I imagine the situation is similar. The used ADVs seem to sell fast.

I commented before and now I sold my ADV350 and I bought the new XADV. I have to say they can’t be compared because the 350 is a scooter and behave like one but the XADV is a Motorcycle that lookslike a scooter but don’t be fooled. Is nothing like the 350. More power, DCT, suspension, strength. The only thing similar is the looks but nothing else. If you are a biker then go for the XADV.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I like them both, but I'd choose the much more practical 350 for Thailand riding. If I had the same choice in the US, I'd go for the 750. Unfortunately, I get neither in the US. Lol

[@mstrVLT]

Great review - thx!

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

You're welcome, and thank you! 👊🏼

[@randellt]

You confirmed what I thought. Thx. Sadly.. it appears the 350 will never come to the Philippines.. I'm kind of stuck with XMAX

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Same reason I have an XMAX 300 in the US, no ADV 350.

[@randellt]

@JakeSnowLiveSimple why do they even make them if they can't be purchased. I can get a ADV X here..but way too big for my needs..

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I'm surprised the X ADV is available there but not the 350.

[@karlplasser1314]

thx a lot for your comparison! Especially Gig's size check really did help me. I was thinking about buying one of the two but as my daughter, who is about Gig's size, will also ride it, you answered the question for me 😊

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

You're welcome; I'm glad it was helpful. 👊🏼

[@Δημητρης-δ3θ]

Nice video!!!my opinion the 350 with the top box looks more complete cause without it the rear looks to short.not the same sport look that rear side is on the xadv that will look ugly with a top box

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you, and thanks for sharing your thoughts. 👊🏼

[@b4bmm]

I priced the ADV 350 at low 180s in Buriram last week.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Nice!

Really good video! Can you make a review on the GPX Drone?

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you. If I come across a GPX Drone, I'll review it. When I asked about Drones at dealerships, the salespeople always advised me not to buy them because of reliability issues. I look forward to riding one and am very curious about how it compares.

[@79rituals]

@@JakeSnowLiveSimple GPX is a relatively new company. It can be interesting if they can compete with an Honda PCX that is on the market frome many years now.

[@adrianchannelaat3767]

Cant wait the Xadv 350 launch in Malaysia!

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I looks like there will be 4 color options in Malaysia. 👌🏼

[@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

Great review! 👏👏 The 350 would be good enough for me as a commuting bike. 👍

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Thank you. 👊🏼

I prefer Honda Forza 350 to this ADV 350/750 I’am looking forward to your review on Honda Forza 350 2024

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

I look forward spending time with a new Forza to compare it.

[@michals1108]

Thanks for this video

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

You're very welcome.

[@davidatherton8264]

Very helpful thanks

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

You're welcome. 🙏🏼

[@mstrVLT]

After three reviews of the 350, and how Gig rides it I want to get a 350 for myself.

[@JakeSnowLiveSimple]

Gig loved riding that 350 for this video.
