Having ridden both I agree with his assessment. BUY CLICK FOR - travel close to home - Low Speeds/ Heavy traffic BUY ADV FOR - LONGER RIDES - HIGHER SPEEDS / MORE STABILITY - LESS TRAFFIC
I like the way you compare these scooters. No bla, bla but just the differences and their meaning for a rider. I've had more than 30 motorcycles 12 of them 1000+ cc and still you pointed out very good details here which I did not notice. You should do this kind of videos even more because you really are talented to do them. Thanks.
ADV160 hands down. If it does 73 MPH why is everyone so in love with the ADV350? Seems like the ADV160 is the perfect scoot because it’s more nimble and has the speed for highways
The ADV 350 power is a lot of fun once out of congested traffic. The ADV 160 is so practical, though. City riding in heavy traffic during this hot May weather is much more enjoyable on the 160.
I've been using spot mirrors on every vehicle I've owned for the last 40 years including my motorcycles. Especially my XR150 here in the Philippines, The aftermarket mirrors give me a good view of my shoulders so I put the spot mirrors on and it makes a world of difference.
Thank you for the great ENGLISH comparison! I retire to Bohol Philippines in a few months. I'm probably going to go for the Click 160. Adding a quality adjustable shock to the back is cheap. I want the flat floor for hauling things back from the market. I'll also add a 45 liter top box to the back for even more storage. The ADV is a nicer bike, but not $1,000 nicer when I can get the Click to do what I want for $150 worth of add-ons. As for ABS. I've been riding motorcycles from 1100cc to 90cc for 50 years now and never had ABS, or crashed due to poor braking. I'll get by with the combi brakes :) Ride safe! It would be really sweet if you could borrow a Honda Airblade 160 and let us know what you think of it. It's the price of a Click, has ABS, and bigger under seat storage than the Click.
You're welcome! I've seen Airblades in Vietnam; I've never seen one in Thailand. I was recently in Vietnam, the Airblade looks like a Click 160 with the fuel tank up front instead of under the seat, so it has much more under-seat storage. I imagine the performance between the Click and Airblade is very similar. It's interesting both Click and Airblade are available in the Philippines. I know what you mean about the ABS. It seems funny to ride 15 hp motorbikes with ABS and traction control. Lol 👊🏼
Good video. Your explanation of everyday usage was fantastic. it's something i haven't seen on any other channel. that is what a buyer want to know also.
If I'm buying a scooter, I want a flat step-though floor. So much more versatile. Upgrading the suspension doesn't cost the earth, if you find the stock too soft, and saving €1000 buys a lot of fuel and servicing/parts.
That's why I'm really enjoying this comparison. I rode the ADV and it gets a lot of attention here in the Philippines. I was just looking at the cCick 125 because they didn't have a 160 in stock to get a good idea of the size etc. The flat floor is definitely a huge reason to buy a scooter and that alone makes it more appealing to me. As stated, upgrading a single shock would be inexpensive and easy to do. I'm sure there's aftermarket windshields available or soon to be at a reasonable price.
Really helped me with researching which scooter to go for in Cambodia . I really had the click 160 as strong contender but think this video has convinced me its the ADV160. I know I want to be able to tackle some out of city roads, a little off road and some pillion carrying. The dual shocks , not bottoming out, better braking and better rear view mirror have sealed the deal for the ADV. The final tick in the box is the great storage , the ability to stow a helmet even two helmets away is a real bonus . The one trade off is the little loss of zipping in and out of traffic, the ADVs wider bars and extra 17kg bigger bike feel will mean a bit more caution patience required. That said I will be new to riding in such a Phnom Penh and so will be finding my feet and slowly building skill and experience and confidence so probably will be taking the progressive riding asy for a while . I am already thinking night just have to have an older Click 125 hanging about as a second bike for those heavy traffic local journeys ?? . Thanks for the great comparison video , Now will it be new or pre used , let me think 😉😉
@@abitofeverything2254 The 160 is overall an upgrade compared to the 125. It comes with either disc brakes at both wheels or a disc front and drum rear setup. The Click 160 I rented for a few weeks had the rear drum.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple OK bro will have a look for one next time although I'll more likely get a PCX I did hire a 125 PCX wasn't bad... Big thanks great videos... 😎👍
I have the click 160 with ABS and disk break at the back I need the platform at the front for my kid who fall asleep as soon as he get on the bike ,love that scooter small lite and very stable .
do note on the Honda ADV 160 not all helmets fit in the storage under the seat, I own the 2024 adv 160 and have a ls2 modular helmet size XXL and that won't fit. Love the bike. be safe Jake.
Hi Thanks for Vlog just deciding which scooter to buy when I get to Thailand in November I most need for city driving and the surrounding areas looks like both are good bikes. Keep up the great work Cheers Irish Paul
Adv for the gas tank in the front so you don't have to get off when refueling and click for the smaller handlebar but then you can probably modify the adv handbars.
Loved the review and timely, I'm in the process of choosing between the two. I'm about 6'4" and 240, I'm guessing the 350 is what I need. I currently have a 150i Click and every bump gets sent right up my spine.
The Click is too light duty for big guys. The ADV 160 would be much better for you. However, you are correct, the ADV 350 is the best choice. You would love the 350s plush ride, no more crushing the suspension and your spine.
I also have both in Pattaya, but my click has the rear disc. I agree with you regarding getting through heavy traffic better on the click. I also find the click a much softer ride, both by myself or 2 up. Honda advertise that the ADV 160 is a smooth and comfortable ride. I totally disagree. The front suffers from what I call a rebound knock. This happens when going over a speed bump or different road surface levels, going at a slowish speed.
Thank you for sharing your experience. The ADV160 suspension is perfect for my weight. I especially need the stiffer suspension when Gig rides with me. The click suspension is too soft for me. It bottoms out too easily, front and rear.
Great bike reviews with you and Gig. I found this channel researching for a new PCX but now I’m thinking ADV 160. I’m an expat in the Pattaya area myself. Subscribed
I have a click 150 and a adv 160. I love the combi brakes on the click. And man you point it and it will go I'm very impressed with it's handling. Obviously the adv is a better bike. I have flogged the flea's out of it since I've had it, On road and off road. I hope the suspension softens up a little bit soon. But in saying that I have bottomed out the front end quite a few times. Everyone talks about the adjustable window, it's no big deal. The headlights are great and a 20ltr water bottle fits in the front step though just nice. I wanted a 350 but after thinking about it I think the 350 is too wide for children to sit comfortably and too high for the little ones to get on easy and realistically for me going to the shop for 20lt of water. Too hand getting on a 350 and taking it of the stand whilst holding the water is to much. I will bypass getting the adv 350 and get a xadv 750.
Those clicks are always fun to ride. So many good scooters to choose from here in Thailand. The new X ADV 750 is the coolest looking scooter. It's such a beast to handle in this hot congested Pattaya traffic but a blast on open road. I was at Big Wing Honda today, the sales rep said 7-8 months wait if a person orders today.
I'm in the United States. The ADV 160 will be available here in July, and already dealerships are back ordered! I'm trying to get one asap, but it's been close to impossible thus far trying to snag one that isn't already spoken for.
Thank you. 🙏🏼 We purchased the inexpensive mounts at Tukcom Mall in Pattaya. I've had good luck finding the mounts I want at this place. g.co/kgs/TSUt4u
Great video! just a reminder please never put your laptop or your phone in the bike's trunk cuz it can get very hot and can causes explosion, I've heard news about it here in Indonesia
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple I 2nd this idea. I wish you had unlimited time to waste on us. I'd suggest Nmax and Aerox also. :) But PCX for sure. Then again, the number of views you'd get. And add the words "in English" to the review title will help a lot.
Keep that automatic start and stop feature off. All that will do is wear out your starter motor and battery faster, much faster. Any tiny increase in fuel economy will be gone. Starting an engine over and over is also hard on the engine itself. Great video! ADV with the Captain America motif all the way 😁
I agree. I have a Chevy Equinox with the auto stop start feature. When I went to buy a battery for it (the original only lasted about 18 months) I got sticker shock. It required an expensive gel battery due to the auto stop start feature.
@@joepangit6938 My Brother-in-law has a near new Ford F-150 with this terrible feature, but he bypassed it. I'm so used to it on my Civic that I just automatically push the bypass as I would buckle up.
Absolutley. Because the oil pump shots of too. And for a single 157ccm cylinder, the fuel you save is minimal. You pay it 10x times in wear and tear on engine and battery.
@@Winterstick549 I agree with you regarding the stop/start. It also builds up excessive heat in the cooling system, as the coolant isn't getting circulated.
Great review! The Click isn’t sold stateside but I’d go with the ADV160 anyway. Unfortunately in the States the dealers are not getting too many ADV160’s and the mark up is high so with tax, license and mark up you’re looking at $6k-$8k. Also not the nicest color options. Test drove the outgoing ADV150 and didn’t like the overall feel of bulkiness and the wide handlebars compared to my 2010 Honda Elite 110cc (Lead in other countries). It’s really nice to lane split the Elite in stopped CA traffic. Because it only can go 50MPH it’s perfect for congested city streets but not highway legal which is fine. I don’t want to go any faster on 2 wheels let alone a small scooter. The Elite is so nimble it’s almost like being on an e-bike but it gets 110MPG, no waiting to charge it and much faster. They only sold the Elite in 2010 and it didn’t sell well because of the recession and low gas prices back then. I use it for food delivery and it looks and runs like new. Unfortunately it’s much more dangerous being on 2 wheels in the states because of all the dangers on our roads I won’t get into because thats another topic completely.
Thank you! I noticed the same "out the door price" at dealerships I stopped at while state side. For the price of a new ADV 150 in the US, I can buy a new ADV 350 in Thailand. Two dealers told me the ADV 160 might be available in the US spring 2024. I love Thailand, Lol. I ride my Yamaha XMAX in the US, but riding in Thailand is so much more enjoyable. That 110cc size is very common in Vietnam.
Being on 2 wheels is dangerous everywhere in the world. In the Philippines when trucks/buses/vans see oncoming 2 wheelers they will pass and we need to get out of the way. Yesterday a dump truck passed in my lane and gave me 3 feet, I could have touched it when it went by, and there was a ditch to my right. North America at least has rules, even if drivers are often oblivious. Riders die at an alarming rate here, and most don't wear a helmet.
Nice video! Answers a lot of questions. Been renting click 125s all through Thailand and now in Cambodia. Is the adv comfy on the butt for a 5 to 6 hour ride?
Thank you. 🙏🏼 The ADV 160 is comfortable for me, I can ride for a couple of hours before taking a break. Although the ADV 350 and XMAX are more comfortable for those long highway rides.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Thanks. I DO know the Aerox is crap and the seat angles down so you're constantly pushing back. Really sore knees at the end of a day. Especially in the twistys of Northern Thailand.
fantastic video! I got a job in Thailand and start in August 2024. I want to be able to tour Thailand and be able to explore a bit of off-the-path roads. This is exactly the video I was hoping to find. Any chance there is a way to raise the suspension an inch or so for extra clearance? Wondering what mod options there are. Would you only bring it to an authorized Honda shop for repairs? When I was in 'nam it was well known that the shops there would take original parts and replace them.
Thank you! That's awesome you are moving to Thailand in August! Many Thai motorbike shops are familiar with modifying these scooters. The shops are everywhere. Anything that can be done, they can do. Google maps ratings and reviews are the best way to find the good ones. I usually prefer to keep my equipment stock. I get all of my maintenance work done at a dealership. I trust their work; somebody there speaks English, and if they make a mistake, I'm more confident they'll make it right. Maintenance prices are incredibly low compared to the US.
Thanks man! Seriously, your videos are so clear and straight forward. You have a great ability to convey information concisely and clearly. I like that you include your partner in your videos too, because mine is coming with me and she is small also. I'm a teacher coming to teach at an international school in Bangkok. I will get the ADV 160 based on your advice--if we take a road trip to Pattaya it'd be great to grab lunch and chat! @@JakeSnowLiveSimple
I always thought these were the same scooters with different branding for specific countries, but I see some differences. I've seen the Airblade in Vietnam in place of the Click. I'll have to take a trip to the Philippines or Vietnam to ride one. I'm very curious about the Blade's better ride quality and braking.
Excellent assessments of both bikes. I have both bikes, even the same colours as yours. Sadly, I bought the Click one month before they came out with discs front and back. Bummer.
Click 160 is good, only that i dislike the single rear suspension. I prefer if have complete both left and right suspension. But i see quite alot honda click owner in indonesia have modified their click to have double rear suspension.
So far, Yamaha and Honda's keyless systems have all worked flawlessly, except for the X-ADV 750. If I was wearing jeans, the key would lose connection, and the display would read "No Key." The problem never prevented me from starting or riding; it was only a minor annoyance. Gig's first time out riding the Click 160, she accidentally pushed the button that turned off the key. She thought the key was broken. She never made that mistake again. Lol
In stock form (creature comforts, ride, tech) the ADV 160 is nice compared to the Click 160, but if we're talking ease of customizability and performance tuning a Click 125 (not 160) has a wider range of aftermarket parts here in Asia.
I will be arriving in a few weeks to Thailand. I am definitely going to buy the ADV 160 but how safe is it to have a cell phone like that on the handlebars? When I travel I want to use my mouth system, but having it on the handlebars makes me just a bit nervous. How secure is that mount?
The mount is very secure. I always have my iPhone on the bar mount. In over 3 years of riding in Thailand, I've never lost an iPhone. I've used different types of mounts on different scooters. They were all reliable. I also use a similar mount on my XMAX in the US.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Also, I am 6’0” and will be buying the ADV160 due to it’s size and I have always ridden big bikes. The storage is great as well. Will check on used ones first. Thanks Hobo Jim Asia
I have exactly that problem in Bali. Need to buy a scooter, for sure it`s a Honda. Either the Click (called Varrio in Indonesia) , PCX or ADV. There`s a lot of traffic here and I`m afraid of getting stuck on the tight roads with traffic, where i can slip through easily so far. Any recommendations on that? The price difference here is surprisingly small, the ADV is not even 600$ more expensive. Of course, It`s the same 160 engine, but the ADV is much more scooter.
I get around quickly, no problem. I think any of the scooters 160cc and less are very easy and fun to ride in heavy traffic. The PCX is a good scooter, but I prefer the Click and ADV. The ADV ride quality is much better than the PCX. The PCX also looks dated compared with the other two. It has an old "Pimp My Ride" look.
Do u guys have rusty chassis problems on the click 160 in thailand? I have seen reviews of many broken "ESAF" chassis happened in indonesia typically on click 160 (vario 160). Rust occured at the chassis weldjoint. They called it "enhanced smart auto-folded = esaf" chassis over there 😅😆
Hey Jake, I'm curious about the Aprilia SR-GT 200, a head-to-head rival from Aprilia for the motorbike segment to go against the Honda ADV 160. What do you think about it? Is it worth the extra cash? Or is it better to save some cash with the Honda? Thanks.
It's been my experience that Japanese motorbikes always deliver the "best bang for your buck." However, I would love to ride that GT 200 if I can find one to ride. I need to get my hands on an Aprilia.
if you have the money, then by all means just get the SR GT 200. It is better in all aspects than the adv160 . Trust me, I tried both in the city and on light off-roads👍👍👍
Is there small compartment at the front to put your phone in the ADV like there is in the click or do you have to keep it in your pocket if you don’t have a phone holder? The phone/phone screen must get red hot (wreck the battery) if it’s attached to phone holder in the sun?
Yes, there is a front compartment on the ADV. It's also where the charge port is. I keep my iPhone in the phone holder always and usually plugged in and charging while I ride, because I use my Google maps so often. I've never had issues with my iPhones overheating. Even during the super hot months of March, April, and May I've had no problems.
Given the ADV is 50% more expensive, I’ll take the click. Push comes to shove I can spring a few $$ for a better rear shock. If I want to ride open roads I’ll get a 350 or an XMAX.
I rank these: ADV160, Click160, Aerox 155, Nmax 155. The Click and Aerox are close for me. I fit better on the Click, but the storage is tiny. I like the storage and performance of the Aerox, but it's a very tight fit for my legs, like riding a toy. The ADV160 is the best of this bunch. It's not the fastest in this group, but the ride quality, leg room, storage, braking, and overall comfort are the best.
The ADV has slightly more torque and horsepower with peak torque at a lower RPM than the Click engine. Engine bore, stroke, and compression appear to be the same in both, but the engines must have differences. Timing, throttle bodies, exhaust,... I'm not sure.
If I’m gonna do long highway cruising on an adv 160, I know the Xmas or the forza is better but with the adv 160 what should be the cruising speed on a 2 to 4 lane highway? On my mind it’s like 50-65 miles what do you think?
The distance is no problem. It'll cruise easily at 60 MPH+. When I lived in Sriracha I often road an ADV 150 to Pattaya holding wide open throttle (68mph) for 35 minutes with no problem. I did that a few days/week for 5 months, enjoyable ride. Where do you live, where will you be riding?
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple morning Jake, I’m a foreigner Iiving and working at Khon kaen Thailand, but I do drive to BKK to see my family during long holidays, but this time I’m very interested in motorcycle touring. I plan to buy an adv, ride to BKK, tour around Isan and touring around the Mae hong son loop is on my bucket list . ATM I own a 2016 Honda click 125cc and I rode to bunch of provinces but it struggles abit, there is barely any protection and lastly the range is not high I can “only” do 160 miles in one full tank due to only having 5.5 liters tank so I want to buy a new one.
@@soumenchakraborty2450 Going from a Click 125 to an ADV 160 is a very nice upgrade. The ride experience is night and day. Long distant rides are much more enjoyable and safer on the ADV compared to the Click. Did you ride the Click 125 the 7 hours into BKK during holidays? If I was touring often I would get the ADV 350. The extra under-seat storage space and overall larger size makes it better for touring.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple no bro I would never ride to BKK from Khon kaen as it’s not fun and tiring, but I rode from Khon kaen to let’s say Phetchabun or Chiang Mai I would enjoy it. Sure the ADV 350 is recommended but it’s not within my budget and I’ll be riding in town a lot (going to work everyday, 7-11, night market, lake. coffee shops and shopping malls) not just touring so riding a small adv 160 will be a easier to handle in the city than the ADV 350 as it’s light weight.
@@soumenchakraborty2450 Oh, I see. You're right, the ADV 160 is a better choice for you. I also purchased the ADV 160 over the ADV 350 for the same reasons.
My neighbor is offering me a Honda adv 150 with 11,000 km and some damage for 120,000 peso (new is 150,000) Its had some hard use and will have a mechanic check it out. I'm 6'2" 96 kilos. Want for around the island trips, no heavy traffic here, any thoughts?
If it was well taken care of and not damaged, I would say 100% buy it. It's so close to the new price, within $529, I'd get new. However, the mileage is not high, so if it's in perfect shape mechanically, it might be worth the savings.
I have been tossing up between the 160 and 350, as I live in Chiangmai and use a PCX 150 I will probably go with the ADV 160 makes sense. Question, does the hazard lights work the same on the ADV160 when braking as they do on the 350? Good quick reviews:-)
Yes, the ADV 160 does have the Automatic hazard lights that come on when hard braking at 50km/h (31mph) or faster. The ADV 350 hazards activated every time I was hard braking. The ADV 160 hazards were much more difficult to activate under similar braking conditions. The ADV 350 did feel more planted while braking hard due to its larger mass, encouraging more aggressive braking, which would explain the different experiences between the two.
Love the comparison, i actually love the design of adv and the suspension but is so expensive here in the Philippines and harder to get.. and now i am torn between PCX160 and Click160. i like the small size advantage of click160 in traffic. for the pcx i really like the compartment size and dual disc brake but it is bigger. can you give your thoughts about it?..
That's a tough one deciding between the PCX and Click. I think the Click looks much better and is more fun to ride. However, the storage is a big deal for me too. I personally would get the Click and add a detachable top box. It's such a fun little ride. Some places sell a version of the Click 160 with front and rear disc brakes. I wonder if that's available in the Philippines. What is the selling price of a new ADV 160 in the Philippines?
Get the nmax, its the best of both worlds. Plus ive ridden both the ADV and NMAX and i gotta say NMAX has more power and comfortability in cities, rough roads however...
hello! how is the fuel consumption on the nmax? is it on par with adv? or better? nmax is in my list as well but not on top coz i like the designs of adv and click. i do like nmax has dual abs tho.
The ADV160 would be the best small scooter for you, but I recommend a 300cc or bigger motorbike. You'll be much more comfortable on an ADV350 with more legroom than the Forza and XMAX.
i bought a 2025 adv 160 a week ago today. already have a little over 400 miles on it already. would be more if i didn't hate the seat so bad. i HATE the seat. and mine and all ADV's in America has a drum brake on the rear witch is STUPID. and the windshield is pretty much useless. and if i cant find any aftermarket parts i will be selling it real soon.
Great review! I really wanted to see Gig sit on the ADV to see what it would look like on a 5’3 person. Can she put both feet on the ground? Edit: nevermind, i found a video where you showcased Gig on the ADV 160!
Wow. SO much more expensive in the USA.. Can buy a good used car here for what you pay out the door for the ADV. ADV is heavier duty all around.. Click seems more tossable though; I'd think a smaller person might prefer the Click - either way, Click not available here in the US. we just bought the ADV. Nice scoot, though its seen as not "Macho" here, so lots of jokes.
ADV 160 fits me much better. The Aerox is a fun little scooter, but I feel like I'm riding a toy. The Click 160 also has more room and fits me better than the Aeros. I'm 5'11" (180.34cm) @ 185 lbs. (84kg)
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple I'm 5"10 and 180 pounds. Leaning towards the Adv 160 as well. It simply has the best components and quality out of the bunch. Tired of navigating Bangkok traffic on my Ninja Zx-6r 🤯
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Im ride Click 160 for daily, in Indonesia it called Vario 160, mine is ABS Version with front and rear disc brake, front disc and caliper also better than CBS Version, I also add one more suspension on rear so it 100% better than shitty stock shock :p, it is very fun scooter to ride, not too small and not too big, fuel consumtion also not too bad for this scooter massive engine, for 160cc engine this scooter is just crazy powerful, it perfect for Jakarta Road situation, it will be nightmare if we drive car for daily, we mostly use scooter, and this one just perfect
The 160 bike made in April 2023 and before have serious faulty plastic gear on the oil pump that can ruin your engine, need to get it fix asap.

Interesting, thank you for sharing information. While I always perform preventive and scheduled maintenance on my Motorcycles and scooters, I do ride them pretty hard. I'm very curious to see how reliable my ADV160 is over time. I've never had a Honda product fail on me yet.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple This is flaw design on the gear, however many shops don't tell the owner, until it is too late, end with a broken piston. The flawed gear is yellow, you need to change to the black one, it is supposed to be free.
I like the Aerox. It's an excellent scooter and a fun little ride. The Yamaha's have silky smooth engines with good power. However, the Aerox is a tight fit for me, and the suspension is too soft. It bottoms out often, especially if I have a passenger. I feel like I'm riding a toy, but a fun toy. Gig liked the Aerox because it is small, but she liked the Click 160 better due to ride quality and overall refinement.
9% of the world still uses mph as a unit of measure, including the USA, Myanmar, Liberia, and the UK. Most of the countries and islands in the Caribbean, including Antigua, Bahamas, Barbuda, and St Kitts and Nevis, also use miles per hour.
Having ridden both I agree with his assessment.
BUY CLICK FOR
- travel close to home
- Low Speeds/ Heavy traffic
BUY ADV FOR
- LONGER RIDES
- HIGHER SPEEDS / MORE STABILITY
- LESS TRAFFIC
Right on. 👊🏼
I like the way you compare these scooters. No bla, bla but just the differences and their meaning for a rider. I've had more than 30 motorcycles 12 of them 1000+ cc and still you pointed out very good details here which I did not notice. You should do this kind of videos even more because you really are talented to do them. Thanks.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. 🙏🏼
ADV160 hands down. If it does 73 MPH why is everyone so in love with the ADV350? Seems like the ADV160 is the perfect scoot because it’s more nimble and has the speed for highways
The ADV 350 power is a lot of fun once out of congested traffic. The ADV 160 is so practical, though. City riding in heavy traffic during this hot May weather is much more enjoyable on the 160.
160 is better because of smaller dimensions!!
The 350 has firmer suspension for us big guys and a slightly longer wheel base which makes a smoother ride.
I do like both though.
Ok for small driver but not for tall
I've been using spot mirrors on every vehicle I've owned for the last 40 years including my motorcycles. Especially my XR150 here in the Philippines, The aftermarket mirrors give me a good view of my shoulders so I put the spot mirrors on and it makes a world of difference.
That's a good idea! I need to add those.
Great video. I'm in the Philippine and have been looking at the adv. Now I have a post in English and can understand. It looks like I'll get the adv
Thank you! I'm happy the video was helpful.
Thank you for the great ENGLISH comparison! I retire to Bohol Philippines in a few months. I'm probably going to go for the Click 160. Adding a quality adjustable shock to the back is cheap. I want the flat floor for hauling things back from the market. I'll also add a 45 liter top box to the back for even more storage. The ADV is a nicer bike, but not $1,000 nicer when I can get the Click to do what I want for $150 worth of add-ons. As for ABS. I've been riding motorcycles from 1100cc to 90cc for 50 years now and never had ABS, or crashed due to poor braking. I'll get by with the combi brakes :) Ride safe!
It would be really sweet if you could borrow a Honda Airblade 160 and let us know what you think of it. It's the price of a Click, has ABS, and bigger under seat storage than the Click.
You're welcome! I've seen Airblades in Vietnam; I've never seen one in Thailand. I was recently in Vietnam, the Airblade looks like a Click 160 with the fuel tank up front instead of under the seat, so it has much more under-seat storage. I imagine the performance between the Click and Airblade is very similar. It's interesting both Click and Airblade are available in the Philippines.
I know what you mean about the ABS. It seems funny to ride 15 hp motorbikes with ABS and traction control. Lol 👊🏼
Good video. Your explanation of everyday usage was fantastic. it's something i haven't seen on any other channel. that is what a buyer want to know also.
Thank you. 🙏
If I'm buying a scooter, I want a flat step-though floor. So much more versatile. Upgrading the suspension doesn't cost the earth, if you find the stock too soft, and saving €1000 buys a lot of fuel and servicing/parts.
That's a good point. 👌🏼
That's why I'm really enjoying this comparison. I rode the ADV and it gets a lot of attention here in the Philippines. I was just looking at the cCick 125 because they didn't have a 160 in stock to get a good idea of the size etc. The flat floor is definitely a huge reason to buy a scooter and that alone makes it more appealing to me. As stated, upgrading a single shock would be inexpensive and easy to do. I'm sure there's aftermarket windshields available or soon to be at a reasonable price.
Really helped me with researching which scooter to go for in Cambodia . I really had the click 160 as strong contender but think this video has convinced me its the ADV160. I know I want to be able to tackle some out of city roads, a little off road and some pillion carrying. The dual shocks , not bottoming out, better braking and better rear view mirror have sealed the deal for the ADV. The final tick in the box is the great storage , the ability to stow a helmet even two helmets away is a real bonus . The one trade off is the little loss of zipping in and out of traffic, the ADVs wider bars and extra 17kg bigger bike feel will mean a bit more caution patience required. That said I will be new to riding in such a Phnom Penh and so will be finding my feet and slowly building skill and experience and confidence so probably will be taking the progressive riding asy for a while . I am already thinking night just have to have an older Click 125 hanging about as a second bike for those heavy traffic local journeys ?? . Thanks for the great comparison video , Now will it be new or pre used , let me think 😉😉
I'm happy the video was helpful. You'll love the ADV 160. Once you get it you won't want to ride an older click 125. 👊🏼
Think I will hire the bigger honda click Jake what's its running gear bigger tyres and shock absorbers all round discs...?
@@abitofeverything2254 The 160 is overall an upgrade compared to the 125. It comes with either disc brakes at both wheels or a disc front and drum rear setup. The Click 160 I rented for a few weeks had the rear drum.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple OK bro will have a look for one next time although I'll more likely get a PCX I did hire a 125 PCX wasn't bad... Big thanks great videos... 😎👍
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple the difference is the ABS. If you buy the Varrio / Click with ABS you will have a single piston caliper disc in the back.
Great review comparing the 2. Thanks.
You're welcome, and thank you. 👊🏼
Very well comparison. Thank you! I think i will go with the ADV after watching your video
Thank you. 🙏🏼
ADV, great little scooter.
Love the vids, they cover all the essential points, superb👍👍
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I have the click 160 with ABS and disk break at the back I need the platform at the front for my kid who fall asleep as soon as he get on the bike ,love that scooter small lite and very stable .
It's one of the best scooters I've been on.
do note on the Honda ADV 160 not all helmets fit in the storage under the seat, I own the 2024 adv 160 and have a ls2 modular helmet size XXL and that won't fit. Love the bike. be safe Jake.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Brian. 👊🏼
Hi Thanks for Vlog just deciding which scooter to buy when I get to Thailand in November I most need for city driving and the surrounding areas looks like both are good bikes.
Keep up the great work Cheers Irish Paul
Thank you! 🙏🏼 Both are super fun riding here.
Too me longevity is more important than speed. Honda will always be my first choice as I keep my scooters for the long hall.👍
Everything Honda is always reliable.
Great video dude. In thailand now and just rented the ADV 160. Great bike - so much better than Nmax and PCX.
Thanks! 👊🏼
The NMAX and PCX feel dated in every respect. ADV 160 is so much better.
Nice and no nonsense review! Would be awesome if you could check out the Honda PCX 160 and Yamaha N-Max
Thank you, and thank you for the good idea. PCX 160 and N-Max would be a good one.
Great concise review! will watch out for more
Thank you. 🙏🏼
Adv for the gas tank in the front so you don't have to get off when refueling and click for the smaller handlebar but then you can probably modify the adv handbars.
That's true, but I like the wide handle bars for comfort and mirror position.
Great Video and great location ! Very detailed and comprehensive comparisons :) A+
Thank you. 🙏🏼
Loved the review and timely, I'm in the process of choosing between the two. I'm about 6'4" and 240, I'm guessing the 350 is what I need. I currently have a 150i Click and every bump gets sent right up my spine.
The Click is too light duty for big guys. The ADV 160 would be much better for you. However, you are correct, the ADV 350 is the best choice. You would love the 350s plush ride, no more crushing the suspension and your spine.
I'm 6'2" 230 and me and my wife are just fine on the ADV 160.....
I also have both in Pattaya, but my click has the rear disc. I agree with you regarding getting through heavy traffic better on the click. I also find the click a much softer ride, both by myself or 2 up. Honda advertise that the ADV 160 is a smooth and comfortable ride. I totally disagree. The front suffers from what I call a rebound knock. This happens when going over a speed bump or different road surface levels, going at a slowish speed.
Thank you for sharing your experience. The ADV160 suspension is perfect for my weight. I especially need the stiffer suspension when Gig rides with me. The click suspension is too soft for me. It bottoms out too easily, front and rear.
Awesome breakdown. I had to make a decision and this vid was exactly what i needed. Thnx bud
You're welcome. 👊🏼
Great bike reviews with you and Gig. I found this channel researching for a new PCX but now I’m thinking ADV 160. I’m an expat in the Pattaya area myself. Subscribed
Thank you. 🙏🏼 The ADV 160 is an easy scooter to love.
Great comparison review here as I’m looking at these 2 mbikes too…think it’ll be a ADV after watching your fab n concise review. Thanks😎 🙏🏼 👍🏻
Thank you, I'm glad the video was helpful.
I have a click 150 and a adv 160. I love the combi brakes on the click. And man you point it and it will go I'm very impressed with it's handling. Obviously the adv is a better bike. I have flogged the flea's out of it since I've had it, On road and off road. I hope the suspension softens up a little bit soon. But in saying that I have bottomed out the front end quite a few times. Everyone talks about the adjustable window, it's no big deal. The headlights are great and a 20ltr water bottle fits in the front step though just nice. I wanted a 350 but after thinking about it I think the 350 is too wide for children to sit comfortably and too high for the little ones to get on easy and realistically for me going to the shop for 20lt of water. Too hand getting on a 350 and taking it of the stand whilst holding the water is to much. I will bypass getting the adv 350 and get a xadv 750.
Those clicks are always fun to ride. So many good scooters to choose from here in Thailand. The new X ADV 750 is the coolest looking scooter. It's such a beast to handle in this hot congested Pattaya traffic but a blast on open road. I was at Big Wing Honda today, the sales rep said 7-8 months wait if a person orders today.
Any reply that contains "flogged the flea's out of it" get a thumbs up from me! :)
I ended up buying 2 ADV 350's but only for long distance rides and camping trips
Jake, what a great review! You are such a pro. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you, Steve! 🙏🏼
I'm in the United States. The ADV 160 will be available here in July, and already dealerships are back ordered! I'm trying to get one asap, but it's been close to impossible thus far trying to snag one that isn't already spoken for.
With so many leftover ADV 150s in the US, I'm surprised the ADV 160 demand is good. I hope scooter demand keeps growing in the US.
Great review... what mobile holder are u using and where did u buy them?
Thank you. 🙏🏼 We purchased the inexpensive mounts at Tukcom Mall in Pattaya. I've had good luck finding the mounts I want at this place. g.co/kgs/TSUt4u
Great video! just a reminder please never put your laptop or your phone in the bike's trunk cuz it can get very hot and can causes explosion, I've heard news about it here in Indonesia
Thank you! Thanks for the tip. 👌🏼
Thanks for the review, my 2018 click 150 i still runs and looks good, but for this kinda money, why not treat myself. Gonna go for the ADV.
You're welcome. 🙏🏼
The little ADV is such a good match for Thailand roads.
Great video Jake....Keep up the good work...
Thank You. 🙏🏼
Helpful review! I would love to see a similiar one with the PCX and the ADV
Good idea. I can do that.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple I 2nd this idea. I wish you had unlimited time to waste on us. I'd suggest Nmax and Aerox also. :) But PCX for sure. Then again, the number of views you'd get. And add the words "in English" to the review title will help a lot.
@@joepangit6938 Thanks for the tip; that's a great idea. Nmax vs Aerox, that's a review I'll have to do. 👍🏼
Thanks for the good reviews ❤
You're welcome.
Had a Yamaha 150 not sure of the model but a nice ride few years back in Phuket
Phuket is an excellent area to ride.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Zoomer X wasn't bad 1 up
Keep that automatic start and stop feature off.
All that will do is wear out your starter motor and battery faster, much faster.
Any tiny increase in fuel economy will be gone.
Starting an engine over and over is also hard on the engine itself.
Great video!
ADV with the Captain America motif all the way 😁
Thank you 🙏🏼, and thanks for sharing the tip.
I agree. I have a Chevy Equinox with the auto stop start feature. When I went to buy a battery for it (the original only lasted about 18 months) I got sticker shock. It required an expensive gel battery due to the auto stop start feature.
@@joepangit6938
My Brother-in-law has a near new Ford F-150 with this terrible feature, but he bypassed it.
I'm so used to it on my Civic that I just automatically push the bypass as I would buckle up.
Absolutley. Because the oil pump shots of too.
And for a single 157ccm cylinder, the fuel you save is minimal.
You pay it 10x times in wear and tear on engine and battery.
@@Winterstick549 I agree with you regarding the stop/start. It also builds up excessive heat in the cooling system, as the coolant isn't getting circulated.
This how comparison review should be done
Thank you. 🙏🏼
Great review! The Click isn’t sold stateside but I’d go with the ADV160 anyway. Unfortunately in the States the dealers are not getting too many ADV160’s and the mark up is high so with tax, license and mark up you’re looking at $6k-$8k. Also not the nicest color options. Test drove the outgoing ADV150 and didn’t like the overall feel of bulkiness and the wide handlebars compared to my 2010 Honda Elite 110cc (Lead in other countries).
It’s really nice to lane split the Elite in stopped CA traffic. Because it only can go 50MPH it’s perfect for congested city streets but not highway legal which is fine. I don’t want to go any faster on 2 wheels let alone a small scooter. The Elite is so nimble it’s almost like being on an e-bike but it gets 110MPG, no waiting to charge it and much faster. They only sold the Elite in 2010 and it didn’t sell well because of the recession and low gas prices back then. I use it for food delivery and it looks and runs like new. Unfortunately it’s much more dangerous being on 2 wheels in the states because of all the dangers on our roads I won’t get into because thats another topic completely.
Thank you! I noticed the same "out the door price" at dealerships I stopped at while state side. For the price of a new ADV 150 in the US, I can buy a new ADV 350 in Thailand. Two dealers told me the ADV 160 might be available in the US spring 2024. I love Thailand, Lol.
I ride my Yamaha XMAX in the US, but riding in Thailand is so much more enjoyable. That 110cc size is very common in Vietnam.
Being on 2 wheels is dangerous everywhere in the world. In the Philippines when trucks/buses/vans see oncoming 2 wheelers they will pass and we need to get out of the way. Yesterday a dump truck passed in my lane and gave me 3 feet, I could have touched it when it went by, and there was a ditch to my right. North America at least has rules, even if drivers are often oblivious. Riders die at an alarming rate here, and most don't wear a helmet.
Nice video! Answers a lot of questions. Been renting click 125s all through Thailand and now in Cambodia. Is the adv comfy on the butt for a 5 to 6 hour ride?
Thank you. 🙏🏼 The ADV 160 is comfortable for me, I can ride for a couple of hours before taking a break. Although the ADV 350 and XMAX are more comfortable for those long highway rides.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Thanks. I DO know the Aerox is crap and the seat angles down so you're constantly pushing back. Really sore knees at the end of a day. Especially in the twistys of Northern Thailand.
I agree, the Aerox is good for renting and riding short distances in the city. It's too small for me.
Great video 👍👍
Thank you!
Great info. thanks. Very helpful.
You're welcome, I'm happy you liked it.
fantastic video! I got a job in Thailand and start in August 2024. I want to be able to tour Thailand and be able to explore a bit of off-the-path roads. This is exactly the video I was hoping to find. Any chance there is a way to raise the suspension an inch or so for extra clearance? Wondering what mod options there are. Would you only bring it to an authorized Honda shop for repairs? When I was in 'nam it was well known that the shops there would take original parts and replace them.
Thank you! That's awesome you are moving to Thailand in August!
Many Thai motorbike shops are familiar with modifying these scooters. The shops are everywhere. Anything that can be done, they can do. Google maps ratings and reviews are the best way to find the good ones. I usually prefer to keep my equipment stock.
I get all of my maintenance work done at a dealership. I trust their work; somebody there speaks English, and if they make a mistake, I'm more confident they'll make it right. Maintenance prices are incredibly low compared to the US.
Thanks man! Seriously, your videos are so clear and straight forward. You have a great ability to convey information concisely and clearly. I like that you include your partner in your videos too, because mine is coming with me and she is small also.
I'm a teacher coming to teach at an international school in Bangkok.
I will get the ADV 160 based on your advice--if we take a road trip to Pattaya it'd be great to grab lunch and chat!
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple
That'd be great to meet up. If you make it to Pattaya, send me an email, anytime. RUclips@JakeSnow.com
if you like speed, on Honda's 160 scoots, try airblade 160. You'll be surprised with that underrated scooter 👍👍👍
I always thought these were the same scooters with different branding for specific countries, but I see some differences. I've seen the Airblade in Vietnam in place of the Click. I'll have to take a trip to the Philippines or Vietnam to ride one. I'm very curious about the Blade's better ride quality and braking.
Excellent assessments of both bikes. I have both bikes, even the same colours as yours. Sadly, I bought the Click one month before they came out with discs front and back. Bummer.
Thanks! Those are our favorite colors for those two scooters.
amazing video brother, I am about to get my Motor license in 2 months and Im planning to get ADV 160
Thank you 🙏🏼. You're going to love that ADV 160.
We need the 160 in the states. Really the 350 but yeah. Something.
I agree, I wish we had more options in the US.
Click 160 is good, only that i dislike the single rear suspension. I prefer if have complete both left and right suspension.
But i see quite alot honda click owner in indonesia have modified their click to have double rear suspension.
Upgrading the rear suspension would make it much better, especially for hauling passengers.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple agree. Honda should make it dual suspension in next facelift version.
great review! now we need to compare adv 160 with aprilia 200 :D
Thank you🙏🏼. I've been looking for an Aprilia to ride.
Have you guys had any issues with the keyless system yet? Many people cannot even start the bikes for 10-15 min sometimes.
So far, Yamaha and Honda's keyless systems have all worked flawlessly, except for the X-ADV 750. If I was wearing jeans, the key would lose connection, and the display would read "No Key." The problem never prevented me from starting or riding; it was only a minor annoyance.
Gig's first time out riding the Click 160, she accidentally pushed the button that turned off the key. She thought the key was broken. She never made that mistake again. Lol
In stock form (creature comforts, ride, tech) the ADV 160 is nice compared to the Click 160, but if we're talking ease of customizability and performance tuning a Click 125 (not 160) has a wider range of aftermarket parts here in Asia.
Good to know; thanks.
Good to the point comparison. No flannel. Nick J
Thanks, Nick.👊🏼
I will be arriving in a few weeks to Thailand. I am definitely going to buy the ADV 160 but how safe is it to have a cell phone like that on the handlebars? When I travel I want to use my mouth system, but having it on the handlebars makes me just a bit nervous. How secure is that mount?
The mount is very secure. I always have my iPhone on the bar mount. In over 3 years of riding in Thailand, I've never lost an iPhone. I've used different types of mounts on different scooters. They were all reliable. I also use a similar mount on my XMAX in the US.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Also, I am 6’0” and will be buying the ADV160 due to it’s size and I have always ridden big bikes. The storage is great as well. Will check on used ones first.
Thanks

I have exactly that problem in Bali.
Need to buy a scooter, for sure it`s a Honda. Either the Click (called Varrio in Indonesia) , PCX or ADV. There`s a lot of traffic here and I`m afraid of getting stuck on the tight roads with traffic, where i can slip through easily so far.
Any recommendations on that? The price difference here is surprisingly small, the ADV is not even 600$ more expensive. Of course, It`s the same 160 engine, but the ADV is much more scooter.
The better ride quality and larger storage space of the ADV 160 are a big deal for me. The price being so close makes the decision easier.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Thx Jake, how well do you get around in traffic with it?
South Bali traffic is intense often.
Did you check out the PCX also?
I get around quickly, no problem. I think any of the scooters 160cc and less are very easy and fun to ride in heavy traffic. The PCX is a good scooter, but I prefer the Click and ADV. The ADV ride quality is much better than the PCX. The PCX also looks dated compared with the other two. It has an old "Pimp My Ride" look.
Hi handsome. Great video channel. Make more videos. I like your humor. ❤ Ride saft
Thank you. 🙏🏼
Do u guys have rusty chassis problems on the click 160 in thailand? I have seen reviews of many broken "ESAF" chassis happened in indonesia typically on click 160 (vario 160). Rust occured at the chassis weldjoint. They called it "enhanced smart auto-folded = esaf" chassis over there 😅😆
🤣 ESAF! No I've never seen or heard of that happening in Thailand.
Hey Jake, I'm curious about the Aprilia SR-GT 200, a head-to-head rival from Aprilia for the motorbike segment to go against the Honda ADV 160. What do you think about it? Is it worth the extra cash? Or is it better to save some cash with the Honda? Thanks.
It's been my experience that Japanese motorbikes always deliver the "best bang for your buck." However, I would love to ride that GT 200 if I can find one to ride. I need to get my hands on an Aprilia.
if you have the money, then by all means just get the SR GT 200. It is better in all aspects than the adv160 . Trust me, I tried both in the city and on light off-roads👍👍👍
@@a.a.a.8857 well noted, thanks sir
Good to know, thank you.👌🏼@@a.a.a.8857
7:24 I bought my ADV 160 at that Honda store.
Nice! I've been in there a few times looking at scooters.
Is there small compartment at the front to put your phone in the ADV like there is in the click or do you have to keep it in your pocket if you don’t have a phone holder? The phone/phone screen must get red hot (wreck the battery) if it’s attached to phone holder in the sun?
Yes, there is a front compartment on the ADV. It's also where the charge port is. I keep my iPhone in the phone holder always and usually plugged in and charging while I ride, because I use my Google maps so often. I've never had issues with my iPhones overheating. Even during the super hot months of March, April, and May I've had no problems.
I hate narrow handlebars,, lol.
Comes from years on dirt bikes and UJM's.
Great comparison!
The narrow bars give me a feeling of riding a child's toy.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple
I'd take the ADV even if I never saw dirt .
The only dirt I'd see are dirt roads anyway.
I playing bub no hearm in me I love those scoter
😉
Given the ADV is 50% more expensive, I’ll take the click. Push comes to shove I can spring a few $$ for a better rear shock. If I want to ride open roads I’ll get a 350 or an XMAX.
That was Gig's thinking also; she's very frugal. Good plan. 👍🏼
After watching this video i still confuse what motor i can buy? Adv 160 or Click 160? 🤔 helpppp
It's best to ride them both before you buy if you can.
What would you recommend sir or if you would rank these Scooters from best to worst: Nmax 155, Aerox 155, Click 160 or ADV 160?
I rank these: ADV160, Click160, Aerox 155, Nmax 155. The Click and Aerox are close for me. I fit better on the Click, but the storage is tiny. I like the storage and performance of the Aerox, but it's a very tight fit for my legs, like riding a toy. The ADV160 is the best of this bunch. It's not the fastest in this group, but the ride quality, leg room, storage, braking, and overall comfort are the best.
@JakeSnowLiveSimple i am planning to buy also the adv 160. Your reviews really help me to decide what to buy. Thanks bro and ride safe always👊
I’m giving peak Honda world and fey Meyers Honda an excellent service rating!😅
I loved going into Fay Meyers in the late 90s and 2000s, so many motorcycles!
I thought you were in the Philippines until i saw the plates 😂
Close. Lol
I wonder why there is such a difference in the characteristic of the engines when the Click and ADV use the exact same engine.
The ADV has slightly more torque and horsepower with peak torque at a lower RPM than the Click engine. Engine bore, stroke, and compression appear to be the same in both, but the engines must have differences. Timing, throttle bodies, exhaust,... I'm not sure.
If I’m gonna do long highway cruising on an adv 160, I know the Xmas or the forza is better but with the adv 160 what should be the cruising speed on a 2 to 4 lane highway?
On my mind it’s like 50-65 miles what do you think?
The distance is no problem. It'll cruise easily at 60 MPH+. When I lived in Sriracha I often road an ADV 150 to Pattaya holding wide open throttle (68mph) for 35 minutes with no problem. I did that a few days/week for 5 months, enjoyable ride.
Where do you live, where will you be riding?
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple morning Jake, I’m a foreigner Iiving and working at Khon kaen Thailand, but I do drive to BKK to see my family during long holidays, but this time I’m very interested in motorcycle touring. I plan to buy an adv, ride to BKK, tour around Isan and touring around the Mae hong son loop is on my bucket list . ATM I own a 2016 Honda click 125cc and I rode to bunch of provinces but it struggles abit, there is barely any protection and lastly the range is not high I can “only” do 160 miles in one full tank due to only having 5.5 liters tank so I want to buy a new one.
@@soumenchakraborty2450
Going from a Click 125 to an ADV 160 is a very nice upgrade. The ride experience is night and day. Long distant rides are much more enjoyable and safer on the ADV compared to the Click.
Did you ride the Click 125 the 7 hours into BKK during holidays?
If I was touring often I would get the ADV 350. The extra under-seat storage space and overall larger size makes it better for touring.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple no bro I would never ride to BKK from Khon kaen as it’s not fun and tiring, but I rode from Khon kaen to let’s say Phetchabun or Chiang Mai I would enjoy it. Sure the ADV 350 is recommended but it’s not within my budget and I’ll be riding in town a lot (going to work everyday, 7-11, night market, lake. coffee shops and shopping malls) not just touring so riding a small adv 160 will be a easier to handle in the city than the ADV 350 as it’s light weight.
@@soumenchakraborty2450 Oh, I see. You're right, the ADV 160 is a better choice for you. I also purchased the ADV 160 over the ADV 350 for the same reasons.
I am youtuber from india ❤
Nice!
Any thoughts on if the ADV160 a good choice in Koh Samui, or should I stick with the Click160?
Both are great scooters. The extra storage space and better ride quality of the ADV is worth the switch from the Click.
Thanks@@JakeSnowLiveSimple
My neighbor is offering me a Honda adv 150 with 11,000 km and some damage for 120,000 peso (new is 150,000) Its had some hard use and will have a mechanic check it out. I'm 6'2" 96 kilos. Want for around the island trips, no heavy traffic here, any thoughts?
If it was well taken care of and not damaged, I would say 100% buy it. It's so close to the new price, within $529, I'd get new. However, the mileage is not high, so if it's in perfect shape mechanically, it might be worth the savings.
For that price difference get a new 160. A new bike that nobody else has messed with just feels different for me. Much like a fresh girlfriend :)
@@joepangit6938That's true. Lol
I have been tossing up between the 160 and 350, as I live in Chiangmai and use a PCX 150 I will probably go with the ADV 160 makes sense.
Question, does the hazard lights work the same on the ADV160 when braking as they do on the 350?
Good quick reviews:-)
Yes, the ADV 160 does have the Automatic hazard lights that come on when hard braking at 50km/h (31mph) or faster. The ADV 350 hazards activated every time I was hard braking. The ADV 160 hazards were much more difficult to activate under similar braking conditions.
The ADV 350 did feel more planted while braking hard due to its larger mass, encouraging more aggressive braking, which would explain the different experiences between the two.
Could you review Kawasaki Z1000?
Yes, I'll see if I can get my hands on one.
Love the comparison, i actually love the design of adv and the suspension but is so expensive here in the Philippines and harder to get.. and now i am torn between PCX160 and Click160. i like the small size advantage of click160 in traffic. for the pcx i really like the compartment size and dual disc brake but it is bigger. can you give your thoughts about it?..
That's a tough one deciding between the PCX and Click. I think the Click looks much better and is more fun to ride. However, the storage is a big deal for me too. I personally would get the Click and add a detachable top box. It's such a fun little ride. Some places sell a version of the Click 160 with front and rear disc brakes. I wonder if that's available in the Philippines.
What is the selling price of a new ADV 160 in the Philippines?
Get the nmax, its the best of both worlds. Plus ive ridden both the ADV and NMAX and i gotta say NMAX has more power and comfortability in cities, rough roads however...
hello! how is the fuel consumption on the nmax? is it on par with adv? or better? nmax is in my list as well but not on top coz i like the designs of adv and click. i do like nmax has dual abs tho.
@@RFIKILLER nmax has a bad milage, and the stock suspension is terrible.
How often do you carry a passenger? The click single shock can be insufficient for more than one or two people

I am going to buy my first scooter. Is adv 160 ok as my 1st?

i bought a 2025 adv 160 a week ago today. already have a little over 400 miles on it already. would be more if i didn't hate the seat so bad. i HATE the seat. and mine and all ADV's in America has a drum brake on the rear witch is STUPID. and the windshield is pretty much useless. and if i cant find any aftermarket parts i will be selling it real soon.
I haven't ridden the US version. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Great review! I really wanted to see Gig sit on the ADV to see what it would look like on a 5’3 person. Can she put both feet on the ground?
Edit: nevermind, i found a video where you showcased Gig on the ADV 160!
Thank you! 👊🏼
Wow. SO much more expensive in the USA.. Can buy a good used car here for what you pay out the door for the ADV. ADV is heavier duty all around.. Click seems more tossable though; I'd think a smaller person might prefer the Click - either way, Click not available here in the US. we just bought the ADV. Nice scoot, though its seen as not "Macho" here, so lots of jokes.
I agree.
Adv 160 or Aerox 155?
ADV 160 fits me much better. The Aerox is a fun little scooter, but I feel like I'm riding a toy. The Click 160 also has more room and fits me better than the Aeros. I'm 5'11" (180.34cm) @ 185 lbs. (84kg)
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple I'm 5"10 and 180 pounds. Leaning towards the Adv 160 as well. It simply has the best components and quality out of the bunch. Tired of navigating Bangkok traffic on my Ninja Zx-6r 🤯
ZX6R is a fun ride in the US, but riding in BKK you will love the ADV 160!
For the price adv should have bigger engine...
Another 50cc would be nice.
Click160 must have 2 shocks, much better
I agree.
Hello
Can you please send me contact details of honda suppliers in Indonesia (mist understand English)
I'm in Thailand. I'm not familiar with the suppliers/dealerships in Indonesia.
ADV it is :) great vud
Thanks! 👊🏼
Why those soldier gicing salute to random person ?
Lol, I wondered the same thing. I asked Gig, but she didn't know either.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple Im ride Click 160 for daily, in Indonesia it called Vario 160, mine is ABS Version with front and rear disc brake, front disc and caliper also better than CBS Version, I also add one more suspension on rear so it 100% better than shitty stock shock :p, it is very fun scooter to ride, not too small and not too big, fuel consumtion also not too bad for this scooter massive engine, for 160cc engine this scooter is just crazy powerful, it perfect for Jakarta Road situation, it will be nightmare if we drive car for daily, we mostly use scooter, and this one just perfect
Do you have dual rear springs/shocks now or did you only upgrade the single rear spring/shock?
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple now I have dual shock on my Vario 160, its much much better riding experience than just single
CLICK 160 THE BEST
SPEED 🔥🔥.
Friends that visit me love it.
Are 2 different category… no way
Respectfully, you are incorrect. They are in the same two categories. Scooter, and fun! 😃
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple hahahaha in this case ok 👍
how weight and height are you bro??😅😅😅
It's always the same, never changes.
Sub... someone getting lucky tonight. Wink wink
😂
The 160 bike made in April 2023 and before have serious faulty plastic gear on the oil pump that can ruin your engine, need to get it fix asap. I still cannot believe they use plastic gear for motorbike, this is not a toy. Even the new model is made of plastic gear, is this bulletproof anymore?

Interesting, thank you for sharing information. While I always perform preventive and scheduled maintenance on my Motorcycles and scooters, I do ride them pretty hard. I'm very curious to see how reliable my ADV160 is over time. I've never had a Honda product fail on me yet.
@@JakeSnowLiveSimple This is flaw design on the gear, however many shops don't tell the owner, until it is too late, end with a broken piston. The flawed gear is yellow, you need to change to the black one, it is supposed to be free.
I appreciate your information! I'm looking into this today. 👊🏼
And you can hang your groceries on the front of click
That's right, I forgot to mention that.
Why don't you like the aerox ? I must say I didn't like to have my girlfriend on the back of if
I like the Aerox. It's an excellent scooter and a fun little ride. The Yamaha's have silky smooth engines with good power. However, the Aerox is a tight fit for me, and the suspension is too soft. It bottoms out often, especially if I have a passenger. I feel like I'm riding a toy, but a fun toy. Gig liked the Aerox because it is small, but she liked the Click 160 better due to ride quality and overall refinement.
ADV...160 ? exist not in Europe..only the 350
Wow, I'm surprised. I thought for sure Europe would have the 160.
Do not use MPH... thats exclusive for mericans only
9% of the world still uses mph as a unit of measure, including the USA, Myanmar, Liberia, and the UK. Most of the countries and islands in the Caribbean, including Antigua, Bahamas, Barbuda, and St Kitts and Nevis, also use miles per hour.
Of course ADV is better because it is MORE EXPENSIVE.... LOL
But performance-wise, the Click will kill ADV...
Right, lol.
That's true, the click is a quick little scooter.
