Honda Adv 350 Review
"A genuinely practical urban weapon that won't embarrass you anywhere."
Key Specs
Used Buyer Review
The ADV350 sits in a genuinely useful sweet spot that Honda has nailed almost perfectly. It's quick enough for real-world commuting without terrifying new riders, the DCT-adjacent automatic transmission is smooth once you stop fighting it, and that underseat storage will swallow a full-face helmet without drama. Used examples from 2022 onwards are typically low-mileage urban bikes — most sellers bought them for commuting then discovered they actually needed a car. That works heavily in your favour on price. Check the front suspension carefully on anything over 8,000 miles — it can feel vague and some owners have complained about premature wear. The small fuel tank is a genuine irritant on longer runs, and the windscreen adjustment range is laughably limited for anyone over six feet. Tyres wear faster than expected given the modest power output, so factor that into your budget calculation before handing over cash.
