QUOTE(selenium @ Jan 27 2024, 09:34 AM) It's in the pipeline... but since it's a CBU model, arrival will be affected do to unresolved beurocracy in BSH... Heard them pointing finger at AP owner aka. fastbike boss. In fact recently there was a large batch of XADV750 brought in by fastbike boss but given mostly to his friends to sell rather than usual BigWing. Dunno lah all this just kopi shop talk. |

QUOTE(yhsiau @ Apr 24 2024, 12:50 PM) Yup, no news on any local mid/big sizes bike recently.. I think BSH offended Honda Jap, they can't get stock allocation priority. Rebels and CBR650 are trickling in, but not other models. Some says the AP holder also play a part with BSH and not just Honda Thai / Jap. I am still patiently waiting for ADV350 after giving up the Forza that arrived 1.5 years after booking  |

QUOTE(yhsiau @ Apr 24 2024, 02:41 PM) Speaking of latest CB650.. its available in TW markets. With E-clutch, it makes you feel like riding a 200+kg kapchai, keep the left hand from squeezing clutch. This is fun especially riding in urban heavy traffic.. with frequent stop & go situations. This might sway me over to non-scooter.. will see. |

TBH I am preparing to pay RM35K~36K for ADV350 before knowing the list price.
Knowing the list price now is RM34k, it falls nicely in the price I am happy with. Only when price gouging by shops e.g. iCity (not Big Wing) that is pissing me off. I hope Big Wing does keep to their discipline of pricing. I also know PJ Big Wing (ex. Fast Bike) did break this rules with last batch of XADV750 as they are also the AP owner to import these big bikes for BS and HL. |

QUOTE(selenium @ May 23 2024, 09:42 PM) the SOP is ini macam Toes, hands, legs all crossed.Bikes above 250cc, usually is only sold to Big wing - for big wing to get the bikes, they need to submit the waiting list if the CBU bikes landed at sub dealers is either they do something illegal (get the chasis number and report to BSH) or they bought via runner and resell it at their shop(the bike might be registered, but they can interchange the numbers to avoid detection) yes, fast bike is appointed bigwing to temporary resolve the AP issue, but it seems they only satisfy their own waiting list (from what i can tell as i have already left BSH at that time). A chat with my kaki kepak has informally informed me that the issue is resolved (Fingers crossed) |

QUOTE(yhsiau @ Aug 7 2024, 08:23 PM) Cool.. Quick and short update. I am waiting for your review of this bike. Ride less than 500km so far New suspension hard but after thar few hundred KM begin to behave a bit. Overall (surprisingly) ride like my ADV160 kind of nimbleness on road. Really loves going around bends. Torque is there, climbing Karak Cameron like flat road. Does not set road on fire so don't expect it a rocket launcher more a torquey rider. It's just a bit heavy at stationary to push around. 185kg. Don't ask me top speed. I ride around 80-100km/h speed, only accelerate (easily) to 130 during overtake. yhsiau liked this post

QUOTE(alexei @ Sep 9 2024, 09:23 AM) what's the RPM at those speeds? I noticed I am hovering around 3.5k-4.5k rpm but will confirm back.Gone to 6k rpm when overtake up to 130km/h, or when climbing hills. |

QUOTE(alexei @ Sep 9 2024, 10:11 AM) top speed = cube root (hp) * 49.5 kmh My screen reporting 29km/liter for 330cc. So your 400cc getting 20km/liter is ok lah.my 400 is a twin cylinder, so power comes at later rpm, around 1k late, 30kph at 3k, then slowly 90kph at 5.5k RPM so it isn't as fuel economy as the ADV350, around 20km/liter only Compared to my ADV160 that's around 45km/h, had to say the efficiency of 350 is good. alexei liked this post

QUOTE(yhsiau @ Sep 9 2024, 01:35 PM) Cool.. better saving $$$. Honestly, there's buyer remorse when I saw the new Forza side by side with my ADV350. Thnx for the review.Forza looks soooo elegant and classy, albeit with 250cc engine, overall maintenance cost is much lower. You have the option of ahem ahem it to same engine as 350 at below 4k only while keeping your engine number.. ahem.... The Forza windshield and rear view mirror really nice. yhsiau liked this post

QUOTE(selenium @ Sep 15 2024, 01:44 PM) the ADV 350 so tiny..... got the 750 instead. Somehow the 750 does not click for me.Never understood why the ADV 750 was so popular even after working for so long in BSH.... now i know why Its a big bike that handles like a small bike.... so nimble and satisfying Friend shoved one for me to ride, all I did was went down the road turn back and hand key back to him. For me, it's too heavy (stationary), too small underseat storage. Somehow I just can't click with it. Got my 350 for couple weeks now. Had to say it's perfect for what I am looking for a practical bike. Leisurely going about 70-90km/h, plenty space under seat. Gone through crazy KL traffic on Saturday without breaking sweat, surprisingly easy. Just ordered bracket for top box (from my old bike). Gonna be a keeper for me. yhsiau liked this post

QUOTE(paskal @ Sep 30 2024, 10:24 AM) how much you got your adv350 for? it's selling way over the sticker price, major turn off for me. Have to agree the price is way over sticker close to 39k I paid.Even sticker price is way over Thai's price of RM23k. |

QUOTE(paskal @ Sep 30 2024, 08:06 PM)  which makes the forza 250 an even better proposition. alor setar is selling the forza at sticker price with no markup. RM25888 base price and RM27288 IINM on the road with insurance 1st party all rider. really hard to resist Super sexy... I might even send it to up spec 350 few months after owning it. |
