Just don't get the whole 'embarrassment' element of scooter ownership. A bike is about freedom! Whether powered or not, massive or small, it doesn't matter what you're on, as long as you're having fun! Great video - I'd happily own one based on this vid alone 😊
Welcome to the ADV 150 family! Great to see others enjoying this bike. What I like most is how simple riding a motorbike can be! You'll have lots of fun on this.
@@GasWorksISO Nice! I'm going on a group ride with nearly a dozen bikes tomorrow so that should be a blast. I'll probably be the only so-called scooter. lol
It’s one of my favorite bikes I’ve owned. Can’t really explain why except that it feels like an extension of me when I ride it. Effortless in handling and quick enough for 90% of the riding I do. I hope to keep it for a long time.
I have a 2021 ADV 150 with about 1100 miles and I love it for my first bike. I am averaging 117 mpg and have hit 65 mph top speed. Great scooter and great review!!
@@story1234 You do but call around to different places because when I took my test, they had scooters I could take the test on, as opposed to having to use an actual motorcycle and worry about shifting gears and all of that. It was insanely easy.
I had a 150cc scooter for commuting for a few years. You're right, those things are FUN! And handy, with all the under seat storage. I'd totally rock one of these.
Gorgeous bike! I have the Honda PCX and I love it (they don't sell ADV's in my country). It's so good for quick trips to the shop, the storage is fantastic, but they're also just so fun to ride. I'm a learner rider, and I feel like it's the perfect bike to get started on. There's no embarrassment here, Honda make a fantastic scooter, and I'm super proud to own one.
I just did my first oil change at 600 miles in October. Winter is coming in Iowa so riding time is limited. Very pleased with performance and ride at this point.👍
It's the great scooter / bike out there. I owned it since Sept 2019. It's agile, nimble, pretty good mileage. All of you got to enjoy good riding experience on this ADV 150
Personally, I've never ride PCX 160. I've tried PCX 150 but the ride was different, it's not agile, it's riding ergonomic wasn't good to ride long distance. On paper, the PCX160 engine was better. But on city street, I'd still prefer ADV 150
I'm a motorcyclist And always have had an eye on a cool scooter. Personally, I really like how the Japanese custom scooters look, all low and long, 250 cc powered... You've got a nice looking ride there!!!
"...strike while the iron is hot..." I heeded your words and bought mine in February of this year. There were four ADVs in the Spokane, WA area, three in Spokane and one in Coeur d'Alene, ID. By the first week of March, all of them had been sold! Thanks for those words and for your inspiring me to buy it. It would've gnawed at me for who knows how long if I had missed the opportunity to get it. Please keep pumping out the ADV videos! We are a small group for now but I think that will change over the next year or so!
Congrats on the purchase! I have plans of taking mine on short overland trip if the weather ever gets better around here. Winter doesn’t seem to want to let go this year..
Great video. Thanks for your assessment and comments. I, like you, have never rode a scooter but this ADV 150 looks very nice. I'm currently shopping for something in the 125 to 150 class. There is a lot to choose from out there.
I put a deposit down on an ADV 160 and I'm happy to see others loving their ADV. It'll be my first two-wheeled vehicle. Probably a Transalp in my future as well if I know myself well enough.
Hey there . I recently bought a 2019 Honda PCX 150 for $1500 on offer up and let me tell you it’s A LOT bigger and heavier in person so please be aware of that haha . I did a lot of practicing at the parking lot since it’s my first motorbike (wore all of my gear) and it’s a joy to ride. The stigma is crazy here in the US about scooters but it shouldn’t matter because you want it because you like it. :)
You are the second “scooter guy” I have found on here (both by complete accident. That said; you both have the same “happy to be here” personality and it’s awesome. I’m going to find some “scooter folk” and see how my night goes. I need positive people in my life DESPERATELY! I won’t ride a scooter, but I like the options on that screen. I nerd out over that stuff. If it had a military time option; oh man. A Corbin seat person too?! Cool. Fun and reasonable people; the lot of you. I hope you enjoy your day and I’m going to enjoy this short adventure. Thank you
Thanks for the demonstration and video, a very nice scooter. I have the same fun experience on my smax 155, cruising around at 60mph, top speed 75mph, everyone should own one scooter
It is a instant gas mileage guage. This is my first scooter in decades and love it. I had to wait six months to get it. I also think they will hold their value.
I gave up on ever being able to buy one. I was just in the right place at the right time. My dealer never orders bikes, they just take whatever Honda sends them, lucky for me I snatched it up before someone else.
Nice! I've owned 14 bikes in my time, including my current HD Ultra Classic--fully loaded touring model. I love my Electra Glide, but it's not more fun than the scooters I've owned--Honda C70, Honda CH 250, BMW C650. Scooters are great fun! Your ADV 150 looks like a blast! hehehe I need to downsize! Thanks.
I agree, small bikes are more fun than big bikes. I have a '06 HD Springer and I had a '05 E-Glide which I got rid of to get the Springer. Ready for a 2nd bike, smaller and more fun..Maybe even a scooter?
My first "bike" was a Honda CH250. I've owned numerous actual bikes after that, but that scooter was still my favourite. It's really too bad there's such a negative stigma towards them in North America. When I was Europe several years ago, scooters are everywhere. I would say about half the actual motorcycles are scooters over there. They are very popular.
Awesome! I've been eyeing those for a bit. Had a Yamaha 125 I miss at times. Look forward to see how it does...especially cruising and top speed on freeway. Also up hills. I'm sure it will be just fine. Congratulations!
Had mine, for 15 months now. Lov.e it, first time back on a scooter or bike for 50 years. I agree re cruise control, I did a small road trip recently and my right hand got stiff, age I expect!
cracking little bike... its funny how as ive gotten older...these smaller fun bikes are more appealing.... im age55+ done all the sportbike and pretty much EVERY type of bike.... i now still have an NC700x honda... but i dont really use it much now because my 200cc scooter is just soo much fun round quiet country lanes here in UK ..
Congratulations! Happy for you that you found what you were looking for. Nice first ride video! Looks like its going to be a fun little ride for around town. I'm looking forward to your next video on it. Gas mileage, storage and how your break in period goes. Go have some fun!
I wonder what it would be like going on a longer trip with this. If it can maintain a steady 55-60 Miles per hour I’m sure it would be fun. I’ve seen pictures of it with a top box and hard panniers.
It is so funny you were mentioning the handlebars being crooked. I just bought the pcx and noticed the same thing so I was eyeing your bars too right before you said they look crooked. They appear crooked to the left while mine were crooked to the right. I put the front wheel between my legs and tried to crank the bars the corrective direction. It was dark when I took it for a test ride tonight but I think that was enough to move it the 1 degree or so that I needed to fix it.
I am moving to the Philliphines and been already looking for a bike over their and this is one of the bikes I have on my list to test ride once I arrive in May. thanks
I rode a Lambretta 150 to High School and enjoyed every mile. Even though all my friends were riding the New Honda Super 90's. Yeah, I'm talking late 60's! The thing my friends wern't aware of was that 150cc 2 stroke motor would smoke those little Honda with ease. Dad brought it home after a TDY in Italy in 1964, so I got it as a hand me down. I'm paitently waiting for the Honda ADV 350 to come to Texas. I mainly need the 350 Scooter because that 150 would get me run over out here in the sticks where the speed limit is 75 on the Staste Highways. Would love to have the 750 but want something I can hang on the back rail on my Motorcoach and we would never need a 750 for what we do. Which is explore the back roads and mountain roads for sight seeing.
just recently moved to Bali from the state and bought a used Adv and love it, i used to ride cbr600 anf the r1 in cali, but truth be told i love my Adv better.
Seriously considering selling my FZ600 for a scooter or a Honda DCT. The afternoon bumper-to-bumper commuter crawl home is great for friction zone practice, but not much else.
Awesome scooter, with side and center stand.. I started in 1984 on a honda aero 80 scooter. I've also had a honda silverwing and sh150 scooters. Nowadays I've settled on, for now anyway, a larger "scooter" with dct transmission, the bagger honda goldwing dct. My dct experience began on the very scooterish NC750X dct with storage. As I get older, and don't need to cruise comfortably at 70 mph, its back to smaller scoots. Enjoy.
that side stand engine cut-off was the result of the high number of some certain country rider that forgot to fold their side stand back in before riding
I was so close to buying one but found a clean used forza 300 for a price that I could not pass up. Love the look of the 150. I flip bikes just to experience different rides.
I had full coverage & will attempt to receive 4.5k payout. I regret not locking the wheel to its left & not turning on patio lights. I would of never imagine it would get stolen so had wallet, 2 sets of gloves & other stuff. Wish I would've had the top case off. Could've been using it as a safe.
I cannot decide between these two. Forza 300 2018/2019 or ADV150 2020 or so. Forza is for sure better for longer trips, comfort. But Adv can be fun in city, some dirt, etc... Haven't tried ADV yet, only pcx/forza etc..
Good to know, I hope to return to the PI this July an will be on the hunt for a 2 wheeler. With the much lower speeds and more dense traffic, I think I can get away with a cheaper bike..
The handlebar is a bit cricket for me too, but since we imported it from Thailand, the handlebar is cricket on the right hand. At this points after so many videos, I think it was cricket on purpose because in the US, the handlebar is cricket on the left hand.
I have a Grom but even with a crap load of mods I still feel like I am wringing the bike out to cruise at 60mph. I am 5’6” and about 165lbs so I am thinking this adv 150 would be better suited to cruise at 60mph. I will probably install a performance variator and cvt clutch.
Honda have now got a 350cc version of this bike, not sure it will get to the US but it is available in UK and Europe. Adds a lot of capability without losing out on the fun factor and fuel economy
9:20 you've just found the reason why I generally do not let my motorcycle riding buddies ride my maxiscooters. I've seen one too many near spills when people want to shift to second gear.
In a way looking at the Handle bars While your riding it dose look Crooked like it needs to go more to the Right, it doesn't look straight. did you ever look at that to to see if it was an issue ? Another great video keep them coming :)
Yeah it’s an issue. Others have the same crooked bars. I’m probably going to fix it myself though. The dealership will probably scratch the paint fixing it themselves and that would bother me more than the crooked bars.
My Honda Click 150 cost me 2000 dollars 4 years ago. Just bought my sis in law a Yamaha Mio 125. It has larger tires full digital gauges and larger “body”. 9 months old, it cost me $1400. New cost was $1700. Waiting to hear how much US dealerships gouge customers.
No Honda Clicks are imported to the US but the large wheels and step through frame is what I wanted so I ended up buying a Click clone, a Vitacci Clash. It has a 170cc Lifan EFI air cooled engine. Cost $1,375.00 on Amazon. Runs good and fits my needs.
In my experience it’s around 600 miles the engine wakes up. Some guys change out parts before then to get more performance, which is a mistake. Never mod an engine before it’s fully broke in.
Yup that's awesome, so is mine I need an m class 2 enforcement to go higher speeds. I'd like to use the lane on 40+ mph roads instead of brake down lane.
in indonesia, the bike is cheaper, but the quality is day and night,, the paint job is estremely cheap,, but the US version looks like have a thicker paint job, good job HONDA US
I do wish there were more larger scooter options out there. The old Burgman 650 was great but I would love something more along the lines of the ADV150. The most fun you will ever have on two wheels is on a scooter.
30 years and 14 bikes. I've never had the balls to buy without riding. I normally go to Daytona BW twice a year not for the parties but for the demo rides.
I had zoom 125 it was fun but I sold it tmax is come out with 560cc for U.S. market I'm absolutely going to buy it. So fun and easy I hope my streetglide doesn't get mad at me? She will have some down time lol
Btw, great review, helped quite a lot. I’m early sixties, ride a big fat tire mountain ebike but always wanted a motorcycle. Been thinking scooter might make more sense, ease of use, balance etc. how would you compare this to the adv 350?
Yes everyone, the handlebars were crooked. A quick trip to the dealership a few weeks later and they fixed them. Thanks for watching!
What it the gas mileage on that bike ?
104.8 mpg as if last fill up.

The 150 was made for congested Southeast Asian cities. For the American market, a 350 would be freeway legal and cheaper than the 750..
I had my eye on a Forza 300 until I found out they don’t sell them in the states. We’re lucky we got this ADV150 at all.
I nice bike I think the top speed is 70 and 76 for the new PCX160. I still can’t decide which to get

Honda have now got a 350cc version of this bike, not sure it will get to the US but it is available in UK and Europe. Adds a lot of capability without losing out on the fun factor and fuel economy
Just as I noticed the handle bars being off you said it. Lol. Great bike!
9:20 you've just found the reason why I generally do not let my motorcycle riding buddies ride my maxiscooters. I've seen one too many near spills when people want to shift to second gear.
8:48 I was JUST saying the handle bars look crooked, and then you immediately said the SAME THING! lol
I really want one I'm so excited for next months
In a way looking at the Handle bars While your riding it dose look Crooked like it needs to go more to the Right, it doesn't look straight. did you ever look at that to to see if it was an issue ? Another great video keep them coming :)
Yeah it’s an issue. Others have the same crooked bars. I’m probably going to fix it myself though. The dealership will probably scratch the paint fixing it themselves and that would bother me more than the crooked bars.
My Ninja 400 was on sale for $3150. Traded it for a Triumph America (Brit Fat Boy) and some cash which is even more comfortable than a scooter.
I didn't know you were Jim Carrey haha. You sound like him and very nice scooter!
That’s a very nice bike💨
Scooters are better than other motorcycles
My Honda Click 150 cost me 2000 dollars 4 years ago. Just bought my sis in law a Yamaha Mio 125. It has larger tires full digital gauges and larger “body”. 9 months old, it cost me $1400. New cost was $1700. Waiting to hear how much US dealerships gouge customers.
No Honda Clicks are imported to the US but the large wheels and step through frame is what I wanted so I ended up buying a Click clone, a Vitacci Clash. It has a 170cc Lifan EFI air cooled engine. Cost $1,375.00 on Amazon. Runs good and fits my needs.
I hear lots folks who got the adv say that the real performance don't really kick in until you got atleast 1000 miles on bike!?
In my experience it’s around 600 miles the engine wakes up. Some guys change out parts before then to get more performance, which is a mistake. Never mod an engine before it’s fully broke in.
Yes I always tell people, Don't sacrifice reliability for aftermarket performance mods, I'd honestly only us genuine oem parts and specifications!!
The dark/gray model looks awesome, nice scooter,,, there are a ton of mods out for it....
Also I'd replace the windscreen with a larger aftermarket
hope you can try tons of scooters here in South east asia, you'll find a LOT of em
I wish USA had more types.
Nice review. I’ll buy one in SEA. Those handle bars were off a bit.
Yup that's awesome, so is mine I need an m class 2 enforcement to go higher speeds.
I'd like to use the lane on 40+ mph roads instead of brake down lane.
If they brought the 350 to the United States I'd be interested. I don't know why Honda insists on not releasing anything over a 150 here.
The LCD dash display doesn't light up? On camera it seemed dark and hard to see
Awesome scooter 🛵
in indonesia, the bike is cheaper, but the quality is day and night,, the paint job is estremely cheap,, but the US version looks like have a thicker paint job, good job HONDA US
"activate the insurance on this thing" Awesome video though! thanks for sharing
I do wish there were more larger scooter options out there. The old Burgman 650 was great but I would love something more along the lines of the ADV150. The most fun you will ever have on two wheels is on a scooter.
ADV750
There is a Honda ADV 350 in Europe. Hopefully it will make its way here. Looks like a nice upgrade from the 150.
30 years and 14 bikes. I've never had the balls to buy without riding. I normally go to Daytona BW twice a year not for the parties but for the demo rides.
i have a Honda Vario 150 for use in the city, beats driving (& parking) any time.
My dream scooter someday... 2nd choice pcx
i think this bike really suits your style of ridding
looks like a motorcycle pls stay safe been hit bad on a a bicycle multible times 3 years ago i am taping out
Perfect choice, enjoy 👍
I had zoom 125 it was fun but I sold it tmax is come out with 560cc for U.S. market I'm absolutely going to buy it. So fun and easy I hope my streetglide doesn't get mad at me? She will have some down time lol
Btw, great review, helped quite a lot. I’m early sixties, ride a big fat tire mountain ebike but always wanted a motorcycle. Been thinking scooter might make more sense, ease of use, balance etc. how would you compare this to the adv 350?
350 is not available in the USA
Good video I like the bike but waiting to see if they bring the adv 350 to USA . If they don’t I’m buying this one
If the 350 comes to the states, I’ll trade up for sure. But from what I’ve read, it’s not going to..
Where’s the throttle? Is left lever front brake and right rear? Is it CVT or automatic? Does it sound like it’s shifting gears?
I love it, have you been on the 350
