the ADV 350 so tiny..... got the 750 instead.

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

Somehow the 750 does not click for me.

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.

how much you got your adv350 for? it's selling way over the sticker price, major turn off for me.

yeah i was surprised to know Triumph Tiger 900 has about the same fuel mileage as my Z650. Considering its a bigger bike.
*
i'm averaging about 4.5l/100km on my tiger 800. this is including high speed highway run, low speed gravel, tarik at the traffic light etc.
if i keep it below 110kmh i get below 4l/100km average.

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.

RM25888 base price and RM27288 IINM on the road with insurance 1st party all rider.

I don't believe BSH will bring in poza 350.

At the moment they have only poza to compete in the 250 market but with plenty of china scooter competing in this same market (price range) with 350 scooter.

adv 350 also might be taking a hit in sales since zontes 368 released.
not to mention other 300-350 scooters also coming like sym husky, qjmotor and possibly also sym adx 400.

this month only many maxi scooters coming into our market that even aveta manage to make one laugh.gif

BSH just "sandai" if it doesn't feel the heats of competition..
It's just a refresh version.. just upgraded the screen & the controller switch.

ADV350 took advantage of the popularity of their ADV150 / ADV160.

The list price is not bad at 34k but price gouging by greedy importer and distributor and AP holder selling it for 39k ~ 44k made it less appealing for a 330cc scooter other than Honda brand.

They didn't expect the market to get noisy with competitors.

Zontes 368G launching at 29k (vs 34k for Honda) isn't too far off, if comparing list price.
OTR price of Zontes is still below 30k, compared to 39k for Honda. I think many, including owner of ADV350 are turning to Zontes.

Sym Husky 300 came in at 268cc, 100cc less than Zontes and price it below XMax price, which is expected when market perception for Japanese bike should be higher price and better quality.

Sym riding on brand reputation is already taking a chunk of 150 scooter with their Husky 150. A success never seen with Sym after their VTS200. Shall see how the Husky 300 take on the market with ready stock while 368 buyers are waiting for theirs to arrive.

Meanwhile, QJ brand under MF**** is gaining a little traction 'cos it's Fort 350 uses Kymco 350 engine that happened to be OEM by BMW for it's C400. Hence people say QJ use BMW engine. However, QJ as a brand doesn't have streamlined product strategy so I have doubt in their support if want to own the product for long.

Another brand under MF**** WMoto is getting quieter with plenty gremlins reported on all the models. Acceptance rate of new model gonna get hammered.

I think its the Xadv design influence not the ADV150 / ADV160.. the NT1100 also looked similar but bigger & wider. sweat.gif

The CB750 Hornet is already more expensive than the current Z900. If the CB1000 comes in, it will probably be as expensive as the Triumph 765RS or more.
