Honda GB350 - an overland bike/ADV-bike?
I have watched several reviews and testrides of this bike and it strikes me that it would make a great overlander/ADV-bike within its limits of course…
Specs: https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-...a/gb350s/2025/
Its cheap, its economical - 100 mpg imperial if one takes it easy, has a 15 liter tank which would mean a range of above 500 k kms, it aircooled, has screw adjusted tappets - so valve clearance should be relatively easy, long stroke - so it wouldnt rev itself to death, its a Honda made in Japan - so it should be as reliable as a bike possibly gets.
Yeas it has «only» 19/17 wheels and limited ground clearance, maybe not the longest suspension travel out there but still….
Weight isnt too bad as of 178 kilos. Top speed is said to be 75-80 mph/120-130 km/h. A bash plate isnt readily available, but could probably be made.
Throw on some hand guards, a wind shield, some luggage racks and luggage of your option - and go! I am tempted - but only in my mind as for now….
Whats your thoughts guys and girls?
