You’re probably here looking for some honest user feedback on the Honda ADV 350.
I’m not going to talk about horsepower, torque, or colors — you can find those on the spec sheet.
This is about how it actually feels to ride this bike day-to-day.
Context
Before this, I rode a Pulsar Dominar 400, a manual 6-gear bike (I was the second owner).
The Honda ADV 350 I bought brand new — the 2025 model.
I wanted to live with the bike for a while before writing this.
I’m not a professional reviewer, but I’ve been riding in Singapore for over 8 years — from Class 2B to 2A — so this comes from regular, everyday experience.
Short Review
You’ll really love it.
Features I Love (no particular order)
- Comfortable seat: I ride around 25 km to work at least 3 days a week, and the seat is super comfortable.
- Perfect posture: At 179 cm tall, the riding position is just right. The only small downside — because of the tall front bodywork, it’s not as easy to swing your leg over compared to a normal step-through.
- Adjustable windscreen: Simple to adjust — I change it depending on my mood. It helps a bit in light rain too. (But with Singapore rain, even raincoats don’t save you completely 😅 — always keep one under the seat!)
- Storage: Huge under-seat space. You can store a raincoat and even a passenger helmet. If you follow the Singapore tradition of adding a rear box, get a smaller one — it fits even if you have cameras mounted.
- Ride quality: Excellent! Coming from a manual bike, the smoothness is amazing. I tested a few other 2A automatics, and the ADV 350 handles bumps better and feels more stable in corners.
- Performance: Easily cruises at 90 kph on highways. Smooth and quiet in city traffic. I get around 27 km/l in my normal ride mix — not bad at all.
- Practical features: The center stand comes standard. Accessories like box, phone holder, and IU are usually added by the dealer.
Price & Buying
It’s not cheap, but when you look at the build quality, comfort, and features, the price feels fair.
There’s really no direct rival — for Singapore roads, this feels like the perfect all-rounder, even for the occasional JB ride.
Here’s something I learned while buying mine:
- Direct Unit: Official Honda import with full warranty and better resale value.
- Agent Unit: Parallel import — cheaper but with dealer-only warranty and support.
I sold my old bike through an agent and bought the new one from them. Depending on color and stock, choose what suits you best.
Final Thoughts
I ride it almost every day, and it’s been safe, comfortable, and reliable.
If you’re thinking about getting one, go test ride it — you’ll see why so many riders love it.
