Watched Quasi's video yesterday and bought one today!! I have a Honda grom that I put a small fortune of money into but it just cant cruise at 60mph worth a crap. You have to strangle every bit of the Grom to go anywhere. I love how the modded out Grom rips but I really need something that can cruise so I added a ADV 150. After easily getting to and maintaining speed into a 26 degree 17mph headwind with no problems whatsoever, I am confident that I made the right choice. It rides like a small Goldwing!
I have a Monkey with a lot of mods and share your experience with having to use wide open throttle to maintain 55-60. Wind is really hard and the ride is quite bumpy at those speeds. Have you been happy with the ADV? Is it smoother riding and can you maintain speed even with headwinds? Does it get pushed around a lot in wind? I was thinking about going with something bigger like a Honda CB300 or CB500X, but maybe this would be all I need.
@@cedrickhubbard1998 just a good around town light weight bike that's got enough speed to pull away at a light affordable and reliable. And it looks pretty cool 😎
Well excelsior… quasimotard brought me here!!! When he did a video of getting the adv for you and also trekopolis so Now you and because if that I have a 2022 Honda adv 150 too that I’ve had for 4 days now and love it! I’m 5’10” and 220lbs (working on that now) and at 70miles on the odometer in a slight headwind I achieved 67-8 so far!! Not bad for a 150 not even broke in and I’m not skinny👍👍 very happy with my purchase for sure!
I just purchased my 2022 Honda ADV150 in August. I’ve had many scooters since 1985 and this being one of my best. With about 600 miles I will be changing oil soon. Last tank of gas I got 104.7 mpg. Enjoy and ride safely 👍
It's very fun, but the highest I've seen is 88MPG so far, but I'm probably heavier. I just need to figure out that AUTO reset on trip odometer A. I changed oil at 497 and will again probably every 2k miles since its cheap and easy.
@@ExcelsiorDDZ I weigh in about 210 lbs. most driving is 35-45 mph most of time. I only use Premium fuel. I owned a 1987 Honda Helix 250 I bought new. It was nice but this New ADV has more agility and off road maneuverability. When I get on this new Honda I don’t want to stop riding. Some complain about speed but to me 60 mph is all I care to do. Enjoy and be safe
@@ronsteitz4535 Some people just don't get it I guess. I decided to scoot into downtown Austin yesterday instead of battling the interstate traffic and it was WAY more relaxing even though it took a few minutes more.
Where did you get it I’m in Houston as well. All I can find is the PCX. I was looking at electrical bikes and came across scooters. I watched the Q man’s video
in my county, 150cc is more than enough for daily commute or even touring. but as i come to understand, it is a small cc bike in western countries (even 350 cc is small, in my country 250 cc is considered to be a big bike). do you feel it to be lacking in power? can you go on big roads or even highways with it?
I don't find it lacking at all, but you need to understand the limitations of the bike itself. No, I'm not travelling major interstates and generally am only on roads that are 55mph or less. So not really an issue for me because anyone behind me that wants to excessively speed can either wait or go around.
If take off that rear fairing could you put a 14 inch wheel? If so then couldn't you increase your top speed slightly since it shouldn't effect your top end torque to much
How much did you save by buying a scooter with 12 miles? I bought mine in Aug 2021 and currently have a little over 1,000 miles Being in Iowa a little cold to ride currently. I have averaged over 90 mpg so far and once at 119 mpg. I weigh in at 220 lbs. and most of my rides are 35-50 mph. Finding the ride very comfortable with no need to upgrade or modify anything.and smooth never bottoming out the scooter.
Thats terrible! Whatever you get, I recommend picking up an Invoxia tracker. I have a LongFi version since there is good coverage where I live, but they also have a cell version. I really need to put a video together on it.

Absolutely. I never rode a scooter. It is so easy to ride. I do however keep looking for the pegs when leaving stops because I have grown use to pegs on my other bike. I think this is now my go to because it is so comfortable, smooth and easy. It has all the fun and none of the work!
@@ExcelsiorDDZ Thats a great deal. They are going for over $5k uo here in Michigan.

I wish they had one marked down because someone only had it for 13 miles, I would of snatched that up in the blink of an eye.
I find it quite comfortable once I added the taller windscreen. It could be maybe an inch taller or have a curved lip to help a tiny bit, but it's more than acceptable as it is.

ADV 150 Challenge! See if you can get a ticket on it.
Already have, but it was a parking warning ticket.
No problem as it will go 67 mph with my 240 lb body😅
I think you can get mirrors that go on the end of the bars
Yes, you can. But I prefer these on this bike. I have bar end mirrors on the Ryker.

After break in, how many MPG are you getting?
approaching 6,000 miles now and I would say the average is between 77-94 depending on if I'm around town or long distancing it at full throttle.
I want one.
Which one is better? The Honda adv 150 or the Can Am Ryker?

@@Man-Of-Vision The ADV does 67 (72 modified) but definitely a slower vehicle as a whole.
In the Philippines, the Ryker is very expensive toy. You can buy 8 ADVs for the price of a Ryker.
so since there's already a 2022 variant of ADV 150 meaning they will not release a ADV 160 as rumored
Unless its a late release, I highly doubt it. But things can be done.
Sad on mpg as my CRF300L RALLY at 60 mph gets 80 mpg.
I’m sure you pd full price.🤔 As of 9-25-2023 a Honda 2022 ADV is still $4,295 as advertised 😗

Can anyone tell me if you can carry a passenger on these scooters?
It is VERY capable of a passenger, but not very practical.
I am 5'7" and weigh 170lbs and there is plenty of room. The ADV 150 is very accommodating and generous with operator and passenger space.
How are the rear brake because they are drum?
So far so good. I can see that they will wear out faster though because I've had to tighten them twice now.
