Forza 350 gone - ADV 350 arrived!

[MrGrumpy]

Hi Mr G,
What year is your ADV? I think the 2025/2026 switchgear has had a big re-think from feedback!

Ian

Mine is a 2024 model, and there have been a few detail changes for the 2025+ models. A manufacturer responding to owner feedback? That's a novel concept!!

I’m considering making the same move

Have a 2022 Forza, might swap it for an ADV

I have the Honda leg wind deflectors, they were about 60 quid but the dealer fitted them for me ( they are self adhesive anyway I think). As well as being of some practical benefit, I think they improve the looks as well.....

[Orcadian]

Leadfarmer - there are pros and cons for me! I really like the looks, especially with side bars/lights. The left switchgear for daily use is an improvement and the bars and mirrors are better. Less weather protection and not used to all the functions on the display yet - still can't find the voltmeter!
Yes, will definitely get leg wind deflectors and might fit a screen flip unit - very narrow, so might have to mod my spare MRA x creen.

Just a quick shot of L/H switchgear, indicators much more prominent, horn button less so!



Just found the voltmeter - it's in the deep maintenance menu to look at but can't be shown on riding display!

Ditto the engine temperature gauge, as far as I can make out - happy to be corrected!

My Forza 300 has gone too, bade farewell to it yesterday on a rare and lovely dry warm and sunny March day. Rode home not on an ADV 350 which I haven’t even a morsel of interest in but a Yamaha XMax 300. Not one of those early models with the shite headlights either, I’ll hasten to add.

[Leadfarmer]

The deal is done, Forza is going, should have an Iridium Grey ADV350 in a couple of weeks

[Orcadian]

That's great! We can compare notes/experiences. Did you get the shiny version of iridium grey? The earlier version in UK was Matte - which I really don't like. Hopefully be out and about on my ADV soon but I have to take my Super Cub for MOT (annual test) tomorrow - six years old now.

Yes, it’s the shiny grey, looks quite classy in my opinion

I didn’t like the matte grey last year either, the paint looked kind of cheap, even though I’m sure it was fine
