The Scooter That Will Make You Smile (Honda ADV 150) 

If you're contemplating enjoying the two-wheeled experience you might want to consider something easy to ride like the Honda ADV 150.

The thing about the ADV is the riding experience is always consistent. On bikes with clutches, you can miss a shift, botch the friction zone on takeoff, or miss a rev match on downshift. Not with this bike. It’s always a good experience. Love my ADV. 😊

Your advice to long term Bikers is sound, Scott. I'm nearly 80, live in the Uk and have ridden Motorcycles since 1964. A couple of years ago I injured my legs ( not on a M/C) and because of reduced mobility I bought a Scooter, a step through version, the Honda SH 350I. In a word..fantastic!! Forget the scooter bias some Bikers have, scooters are great, easy to ride, lightweight, and economical. My sh350 will do 80mph easily and I moto camp with it. Age, injury or any other reason, if you are a two wheel incurable addict like me, buy a modern scooter.

Right on Scott. Bought mine two years ago too. Ridden bigger bikes for 60 years. My knees no longer hold up to that weight. Still smile whenever I ride mine like you say. And nowadays I love the fuel economy 👍

I could not agree more on each point you made. I love mine and use it for just riding country roads and seeing the country side. It’s a fun bike for sure.

I just wish they would bring the ADV 350 to the states. Love the video!!

Thanks Scott! Really enjoy watching your vlogs. Got my '23 ADV150 this past spring and have enjoyed riding it for all of the reasons you stated in this video. Looking forward to many more years of riding this scooter!

Just bought my first Honda pcx150 today 💯❤️💪👊

I just got my 2023 ADV 160 here in Malaysia for USD2,959.00. Its a great bike. Fit me well for my 5'5" height. Love it

I'm picking up my adv this weekend and I'm so excited!!!!

Awesome video brother thank you so much. You are truly a very wise individual and I appreciate that I’ve had a couple motorcycles in the past. I’m getting ready to turn 57 years old and I am definitely looking at a scooter for not only fun, but as a commuter back-and-forth to work, it just makes sense and you are a very sens person. Thanks again.

I have a small scooter it's 200 well 168.9 does a max of 72 and i would never put it on the highway for more then an exit or 2 these small bikes are king in town in town I prefer the scooter over my car even with a passenger these bikes are great around town I absolutely love scooters I'll always have a scooter as a means of transportation there fun !!! Cheap on gass

Hi buddy. Thx for the video. Great topic and material 😊

If i were to make a video about my ADV150, you would be able to flag me for copyright infringement! I have the exact same sentiment concerning this fun little bike. I’m 53, I’m not into loud pipes, and I am not interested in going fast. However, I do use mine for commuting, but it’s only 5 miles each way. I do 1-2 hour “day rides” for fun, and usually take “the long way” home. There are times I wish it were a little quicker, but overall it really scratches my itch. Great video! Thanks!

Great video, I have no experience with a scooter only motorcycles. Looks like a great way to get around 😊

I bought the 2021 ADV150 and it is very good for long trips

I love the improvement of your production. Love that you have a camera facing you and the one on your helmet to see your ride. Also, the sound of your audio is great now. I can hear the bike and there's not too much wind noise at all. This was fun. I rode my same bike more this summer than when I first bought it. I had a really good time. I realize it's not too smart to listen to music because it makes it harder to hear things on the road, but that's what I like to do. I'd appreciate it if you shared your gear list. For instance, what do you use to mount your camera on your bike? What helmet do you have? Is the audio built in to your helmet? The microphone too? What do you use to mount your camera to your helmet? If you're willing to share, I'd be grateful. One more thing, I'd like to know what that rear view mirror is on the front wind guard. I think that makes very good sense to be aware of your surroundings. I used to be "ADV Buzz," but I started doing other content. I have often thought I'd like it if they sold the ADV350 state side, but I also wondered if it would become too big. I wonder how much it weighs. Great video.

Your advice to long time Bikers is good

I have Ridden a lot of bikes before but hands down my Honda PCX 150 is a lot more fun riding around town than any other bike i have owned.

Just love my Honda Adv 160, don’t care what haters say! I’m just 5’3”. I love the way it is. The only issue I have is that it gets expensive as I use it. Can’t stop with upgrades and accessories! Ride safe😀

I first learned to ride on a honda 400 automatic.loved that bike! Now i am 70 and have the adv150.been sick all summer and a broke foot.bummer.i miss my wind therapy

Thanks Scott for your videos! I have watched several of your videos and have learned a lot from you. You have the most informative videos on this bike on RU-vid. I am 63 years old retired and would like to do some riding like you suggest. Not interested in going 90mph and just do back road riding at 30-50 mph. I have a electric bike with 100-150 mile range but am concerned about impeding traffic with a top speed of only 25-30 mph . You have almost talked me into purchasing one. Going to go by the local dealer here in Athens Georgia today and hopefully make a final decision.

I bought a Corbin seat for mine and my butt thanks me. But it raises you about an inch higher which I don’t care for.

I have a BMW C400x and a Harley 883 Iron and the maxi scooter is worth every penny

Hey dude. I've watched a few of your videos just (came for the akaso review originally) then saw you also tried the 360 cam. But I can see now you revered back to 2 normal cameras and wanted to double check if I am seeing this correctly. Are you using the akaso on the helmet and GoPro as backwards cam? Nice vids btw, keep up the good work 👍💪🏼 Ps. I'm only 3 minutes into this video so maybe you answer it later in that case ignore this 😂

I just wanted to add I am on the taller end of motorcycles being about 190cm/6foot something and when I tried this bike out I did not feel cramped on it. Until I turned the bars and at full lock the end of the handlebar came into contact with my knee. Fortunately both this and the PCX have handlebars and you could always raise them up a little to combat this or just tolerate it. Since how often do you need to be at full lock and are in a position where moving your leg would be a bad idea?

I'm looking to get the ADV 160. But now not the time since it's getting cold.

The price is what keeps me and I'm sure majority of people from buying one. After spending some time in Thailand they had the Honda click 160cc 2024 model for sale for about $2,000... I think for Americans to really get into these they are going to have to have the prices come down to under $3,000

I had another question. Is there a seat hook in the bottom of the trunk where you can attach a helmet strap, close the trunk, and let the helmet hang outside while being locked in with the strap? Hope that explanation made sense - one RU-vidr mentioned that All the ADV have this feature worldwide, but not in the USA version which I found very strange. It’s a pretty standard feature of scooters in Taiwan and very useful because you can leave the helmet attached to the bike, locked in by strap, without having to need trunk space.

On my adv hit a smoke shop, pulled a 180° in a parking spot. When I came out a dude on an old hardtail starting talking to me, I was shocked how inquisitive he was. He approached me because he said he was shocked on my parking maneuver.

Hope you see these comments/question, do you happen remember the brand of 180 degree mirror you got on your wind screen???

Im between the adv 160 or a Vespa 300 which would you choose?

will the stroker or bore up kit renders the bike illegal for road use in US?

I’m 280lbs. Think this would be a good fit for me?

Do you think this would be adequate for a larger guy? Like 350lbs.

How about XADV?

ABS is ONLY on the front! ...........thats a deal-breaker for me!

For big fellas like you, better get the x adv

Sweeet

Do you think this ADV would work for a funeral escort service?
