ADV 350

[Adventure Boy]

After owning an ADV350 a couple of years ago I kept thinking of getting another one I felt the versatility and convenience of the bike was great, better than the 4 XADV's ive owned the under seat storage is by far bigger for a start and the weight difference is very noticeable, anyway after buying the KLE 500 on here Last Monday and realising that it just was not for me I contacted Paul at Dobles and I got the same money for it trading it in for a new ADV350 2026 model in the Matt pearl white the bike deal was done Friday and in true Paul Style I picked the new ADV350 up yesterday, I have to admit the 2026 variant although looks the same has a few nicer touches, the dash is better colour TFT the left hand switchgear is better but the best improvement is the suspension, it seems much more compliant and no where near as crashy over bumps as the last one was, somehow it seems more powerful than my last one as well and very easily gets up to beyond motorway speeds and still seems to have the go to accelerate to overtake, the roadsync app and dash integration also seems to be a bit more fluid and easier to work the turn by turn nav is certainly quicker
all il all i am delighted with the little thing, hope I will be as impressed with the CB1000GT on the 21st when its delivered

@Adventure Boy I know what you said in your opening post about the X-ADV but I saw this 2026 model year 'special edition' in Spain this morning and thought that the colour scheme was superb...

(Note: the MIVV pipe)
[Edit: sort of GS Rallye]

Saw one of those in my local dealership, looked great

 

[Adventure Boy]

They do look the nuts in that colour scheme
went to work on the 350 this morning I cant believe just how peppy the engine is compared to my last one, that was brand new as well so no idea why the difference !!
Ill post a pic when the Graffix kit arrives and is fitted

The older I get the faster my bikes feel

Must admit I saw more Xadv's in the 2 weeks i was in Spain and France than ive seen over here since the launch of them
They do love a scoot over there thats for sure

This is one of the graphics kits for the 750. Since this pic I’ve fitted handguards, rack, and the comfort seat. I had heated grips fitted at the dealership.
Poor man’s LTD edition!

That looks really good with the sticker kit

I purchased a new 2026 ADV350 last April, it's now covered 1300 miles

It replaced a BMW G310GS, which didn't impress me much

The 'little ' ADV 350 is a surprisingly good bike and will easily cruise at 70+ mph if required, its extremely comfortable and is very practical

My observation is that the bike is so good that I sometimes feel uninvolved therefore the riding experience can feel a little detached

I've already posted a picture of it on here some time ago

Cheers Rob, £55 from eBay, took a while to line it up, I did a dummy run with tape first. The quality of the kit is top drawer.
