The NC750 DCT probably comes closest to a scoot .

Damn reliable engine. Have a friend that has 280,000km on it and the only engine part he needed to replace was the water pump.

Fully auto mah, what do you expect? For engine displacement disparity, expect a modest 20%-30% less acceleration and top speed when compared to a fully manual counterpart with the same cc.

Yeah but I didn't expect it to have worse FC than a 200cc bike

This bike, for it's engine displacement, is already a freaking heavy bike by my standards dee, and I am using the previous gen 250 ABS version, which has more or less the same kerb weight of 200kg. Reversing on a slope with this bike is a nightmare!

All the maxi scooters are about 200kg. Plus with the super wide seat and higher seat height, backing out with tip toes is never easy. Thats why you always back into a parking lot. Just like the rest of us 200kg bikes.

People waiting for ADV350 but they surprise us with ADV160 laugh.gif
Time is more important than money. For me, I had rather not wait indefinitely and just get something else on the market.

I really dont know how bigwing survive when everything out of stock since last year hmm.gif

Registered mid last year and completed exam end of last year @ Melati Bukit Mertajam Penang (~ RM500 upgrade from B2)

During my exam, there were 30 people taking B full and only 2 bikes. Lucky I was number 6 sweat.gif

Currently I'm riding 250 cc scooter, so if upgrade ADV 350 I think is the only option if want lighter bike. Bigger cc scooter is heavy not suitable for town daily use especially like Penang Island so I think 300-400 is a sweet spot.

Currently I quite happy with my scooter just the ADV350 look nice and have better suspension system so thinking to upgrade. I have another ideal as well, get a clutch bike as a weekend bike but not sure worth or not because maybe just ride once a week. CB650R looks damn good.

I saw the Forza 350 and Adv 350 in Thailand, they grew in size even compared to the existing Forza 300 before, so it might add more weight a bit, but the dimension is definitely bigger. Do take that into the consideration if you want to commute to the Island.
