It was fine :)

I'm here in Thailand trying to decide between the ADV160 or 350. Can I ask if you think you would like the 350 as much as the 160, or any potential drawbacks in moving up to the 350? Thanks

​​​@@paulietv2162the 350 is much fatter and heavier, if you plan on lane splitting at red lights and stuff like that go for the 160. If you live in the mountains or there's barely any traffic where you live then you could consider the 350. Keep in mind, if you are often going to ride with a second person, the 160 can manage well, but the 350 would have a noticable upgrade in acceleration and power.

150 miles is a long journey on a scooter. How did you feel after doing that distance ? My max is 100km in hilly terrain and I'm tired after that

True. I have an xmax, and like it for long distance travel too. Comfy seat, but could use more power at times.. nb though for the price.

u still scooting around i was always really confident on motorycles had a 850 a 1000 but i bought a scooter for around town and fell it love it was less work to ride made small trips fun decided to buy a maxi to try it and i now dont own a single motorcycle 150 for city 250 maxi for highway all my friends that still ride think its gay but idc its way more practical comfy and the storage

@@madhatterentmt6146 Nothing wrong with gay!

In America most guys tie what they ride to their masculinity. They think riding a scooter makes them less of a man….lol Myself, I don’t care what they think. I ride what I enjoy.

True, in the US, scooters are looked down on as not "manly" or only for college kids that can't afford a car. You almost never see scooters where I live - only fat old guys on Harleys when they aren't in their stupid enormous trucks and a few sport bikes (any motorcycle is dangerous here due to the extremely bad, incompetent drivers and huge trucks/SUVs everybody has so bikes are rare on the street). My wife wanted it just to explore back roads (we also cycle) but I think its a very practical machine too.

you would be surprized how much easier a HEAVIER bike is to ride ....and safer also

What does the weight of a bike have to do with safety?

@@GasWorksISO where do I start? more stability less wind deflection, more mass so more able to stay on course where you point it, heavier so more pounds per square inch for tire to road adhesion, therefore safer braking and handling in wet conditions, heavier bikes are usually longer so even more stability and handling on highways etc. Usually, a heavier larger bike will have a more stable rake angle on the forks. Sounds crazy but if you did happen to hit something your body will fair better, injury wise. They are generally a larger profile , making it that tiny bit easier to be spotted by other drivers. A larger motor usually has a heavier or larger flywheel, helping to "smooth out" the power delivery, making it slightly safer in slippery conditions. Heavy bikes have wider tires. plus ask any Harley rider, they are actually EASIER and more relaxing to ride. I could go on, but it has taken me a lifetime to realize this as I used to be a light bike lover most of my life, but I urge you to try some experiments and you may well agree with me.

Other than being slightly easier for other vehicles to see, there are no safety advantages of larger motorcycles. A riders safety is 99% dependent on themselves, not the bike. Ultimately it’s us that put ourselves in dangerous situations. Awareness determines probability.

@@GasWorksISO do you have ANY capability to think laterally ? you bought yourself a cheap toy. Youve ridden no others and you are on the net giving advice to others. You are like a child at christmas who was given a toy and now you MUST prove to the world that your toy is the ulimate. hahahaa

Those Vino’s are sweet! What’s the top speed?

@@GasWorksISO, about 35 miles per hour,more than enough for running errands

nice, not sure whether to get 150 or 160, mainly concerned about seat the height, how does it feel in comparison? Thanks

@@enforcer0011 haven't sat on both as the 160 replaces the 150 here, but according to the Honda specs, the 160 has a lower seat height. Seems to me it would be a lot of scooter for a small person - if somebody was really small I would think a Super Cub would be easier to handle.

ok cool, i'm 6'2, leaning towards the 160! I'm sure the ride height is fine @@spinnetti

Took a break… well, winter kind of forced me to.

@@GasWorksISO Seemed longer . Love that scooter. Had a trip to the US last October with a friend, hired a pair of Heritage bikes and did Route 66 and a bit more . Back in Ireland we both bought one. Great bike but a lot heavier than the Shadow ..Still I love it. Look forward to seeing more from you .

😂 Same here. I have bmw r1200rt and a ‘21 super cub and absolutely love my Cub.

The PCX is nice, but the ADV has a better seating position and looks better with a rider on it. Lol, if that makes sense.. They come with 2 key fobs. I use one and keep the other secured at home. Replace the batteries once a year just to be sure.

take a look at the kymco DTX360 dashboard.

I moved over from a Harley Fat Boy. It can be done. :D

Nice 👍

and still extremely bumpy!

In the Philippines, the Airblade and the Click have drum brakes at the rear. Difference between the two is the Airblade has dual shocks at the rear while Click has mono shock. The ADV has disc brakes both front and back, and has dual Showa shocks at the rear. The ADV here also is not in gloss finish but in matte finish.

It’s good. The seat could benefit from a pad, but otherwise it’s really comfortable. The longest trip I’ve taken was about 5 hours in the saddle. My Harley caused more fatigue, my Versys needs a better seat, and my Monkey only suffers from being slower. All in all, it’s great for afternoon trips. Some day I’ll take it on a longer one.

@@GasWorksISO That's really good to know. Thanks!

Where did you keep your key fob at? Try changing your keyfob battery

The ADV 150 seems to be really well built, but I guess time will decide. I think the build quality is very good!

@@GasWorksISO I read a comment a guy put 10k miles on his ADV 150 and only has done oil changes and transmission fluid changes so far.

yep Ive been VERY dissapointed in Honda lately. That adv150 only has ABS on the front wheel!

Honda is NOT as good as they used to be. That scooter is not even built in Japan anymore.

Congrats! I feel like the 150 and 160 are so similar, either one would make anybody happy.

Ooops, I didn't pay attention to the end!!! Yep, that's the best part of owning a scoot,,,,,, Nobody cares. Nobody cares about much of anything you do on a scooter. They just think it is an old fart on a big moped and within a second or two you are forgotten.

you did NOT watch till the end did YOU?

tubeless

It will hold 60mph with some to spare. It's a 150cc engine. it does exactly what I need it to do. I have other bikes if I want to go faster.

@@GasWorksISO That's GREAT! Living in an apartment and having only a storage locker limits my bike choice to perhaps just one.

Not at all!!!

What was the issue ?
