I've quickly scanned the review and will read it properly shortly.
I note the point about the indicator switch, something I was aware of from the outset and will get used to, and the business of wide/high seat. I really can't remember how it was for me - the seat height, of course - and if I was a bit on tip-toe, I didn't notice as the bike is so user-friendly as far as weight and balance are concerned.
As the reviewer said: he was nit-picking rather than finding fault.
I think it's a very good review and reflects my experience, brief though it was.

He's right about the indicator switch - after 2yrs with my 300, I still can't always hit it first time. And the horn is even worse!

I can't take seriously a video which is so badly edited.
I think it's a scam.

I'm sorry but this guy is really annoying. I could only take so much. What I did see appeared to be more about running a European-spec scoot in Thailand, where the climate and roads are very unforgiving.

The guy doing the 350 review is a bit of a twit in my opinion. Sure, he doesn't like some things about the bike and that's ok. But he is moaning about some things that I think show his inexperience as a rider and owner of a bike. Anyhoo, it takes all types!

Thanks for your opinions guys. My view was pretty much like yours but as I don’t own one, yet, I wondered if he had any valid points. Having said that the reviews I’ve read and seen are overwhelmingly positive so I’ll keep my chin up. I’m beginning to think this is the replacement for my beloved Burger in the next couple of years….

Just watched the American chap reviewing (in Thailand?). Setting aside his style of delivery, his points are mostly valid in my opinion. I think the way he presents seems to exaggerate the bike’s flaws somewhat. Nothing he described detracts that much from what is a very good scoot. I’m touring on mine soon so will give a (very brief) review of the bike’s capabilities in that respect...
