Riding at 70mph conservatively on the motorway, what mpg have you managed to obtain?It's at 75mpg at the moment.
I guess that'll climb as it's run in, hoping...
Same engine as the Forza, and my last 300cc Forza did almost 90mpg on decent runs keeping it under 70mph.

It's early days as I've only done 500 miles of mixed riding, inc 250 on a motorway trip (prob averaged just under 70mph, but was varying the throttle quite a bit as I'm running in)
It's at 75mpg at the moment.

Broadly similar to my Forza 350. 75mpg is about the worst, 90mpg the best on 60mph A road cruising.It's at 75mpg at the moment.

MCN seems pretty impressed with the ADV 350:

I find my Xmax 300 great fun to ride and I really like the handling (I also have a KTM Duke 890 R so not my first / only rodeo) and 2x full helmet storage (or large bag / locks and cover etc) - but if I needed to change for some reason I’d look at the adv.
300 scooters do make me laugh on the way into work - bikers just don’t expect scooters to be fast (somewhat) off the lights and it can be quite amusing on an otherwise dull Monday morning seeing them trying harder and harder to put you in your place (dumping the clutch and screaming it to 10k) at the next light after you just twist and go and smoked them at the previous one…
All within the prevailing limits, obviously.

My old 2 Stroke 125 bored to 172cc did the same. I remember travelling over Waterloo bridge and being stopped by a courier who said he couldn’t keep up!

Top speed a bit ambitious though at 95mph, the speedo over reads by quite a bit I'd say.
The screen, although small, is better than I expected when at full height.
Did Cambs to Brighton and got on ok.

I've got an Italjet Dragster 180. Owned it since new in 2000. Had it for twenty years and can't find any pictures of it!
Okay so two years later it's finally in a few pieces getting recomissioned. Got new tyres today - Pirelli Angel Scooter which seem to be a new thing in the 11" front fitting. There's a few other consumables going into it as it hasn't run for a long time....https://www.visordown.com/reviews/first-ride/honda...
Nice write up on the Honda ADV350 from Visordown.
Key line:
“ Despite greasy roads, sharp winds and having no idea where I was half the time (as I say, recently moved) - I had an absolute riot on the scooter. Great fun.”
Take note people!!

Good to see another Forza in Carmine Red.
I ordered one in the same colour a couple of weeks ago to commute on. Should hopefully be here sometime in March.

Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory has been ordered instead.
