So cool! We have the X-ADV 750 here in Brazil, I can't wait to see the ADV 150 here. The Honda PCX and Yamaha Nmax are extremely popular in Brazil as well!
@@u563rick6 And no clutch. I never thought I'd rag on the manual transmission of a motorbike, but in cities it's not fun and in heavy traffic when you can't even filter past it gets old fast, encounter that enough and it's annoying.
I love this channel... you don't talk on and on for 15 minutes on a 20 minute video before riding. No nonsense, and technical points quickly and precisely!
I purchased this motorbike because I wanted decent power, great looks, and ease of use. Larger people may want to consider a bigger bike, but smaller men and women benefit nicely. I've had mine for about a year and I've produced many videos on the ADV 150. It's an amazing machine and looks the part too. It turns lots of heads when I ride it!
Oh wow. Thanks for saying this! Im very petite looking into getting a scooter, small is perfect for people like me! Im hoping to find it in a shop nearby just to see how it is in real life before committing
I average between 95-108 MPG on my mostly 45 MPH driving of 2022 Honda ADV 150. Currently I have about 3,000 miles on my scooter. This scooter pulls up hills well and will gain speed readily. As scooter is being broke in you will see gains in power especially after 1,000 miles.👍😀
@@false_cypher yeah, I don't quite get why scooters would be so expensive in the States, even with some features axed out. I would've added a bit more and get a 390 Duke instead. I'm genuinely curious as to why scooters are relatively expensive in the US. Btw, it's a single channel ABS to the front wheel only. :)
Nurvianto Bayusuputra yeah I have no idea why scooters are so expensive in the states. I convinced a friend to get a motorcycle instead of a new scooter because it was only $1500 more and he could ride with all of us. Heck, my sv650 I got not too long ago was $5700 brand new. Totally worth it in my opinion over a $3000+ scooter.
To be fair to the new system, there is a code you can enter if your fob battery dies or you lose the key is actually better because you can enter code even without a key
This would be a hoot on fire roads...Also centerstand burnouts could bring back old memories of the past.... someone rocking one would def receive a thumbs up... I dig it!!!
Cannot wait for the 350 to be imported into the US. It is a very good vehicle. Strikes the perfect balance of city/dirt road and it has enough pep to handle highway travel.
Excellent commentary. Well organized, perfect pacing, actually informative and relaxing to watch. Great knowledge shared in the video. Thank you so much!!
Great review, have a 2018 PCX model which is by far more practical for city riding. My PCX also gets about 120 mpg and looks like a sports bike, don’t know where the old man perception came from cuz that’s not true. People always ask me about it around town too. The ADV version is inferior to the PCX version with worse gas mileage and really not many people going to use it off road.
I know exactly where you’re riding! Live Oak Trabuco/Santiago/Modjeska Canyon is a regular route for me. And I know at which dealership you ended the ride. Scooters are just fun. Every motorcycle rider should try one. I actually considered buying the PCX150 several times, but now I would go for this.
I have been getting 95mpg on my ADV150 so far and I weigh about 280 pounds! I hauls me around just fine I just upgraded to a heavy duty malossi clutch to make it grab a little better and It's all good!
@@Winterstick549 Naa man not at those weights. Maybe 55-60. Smaller guys can cruise it around 65. Top speed is only like 70. Get the burgman 200. It will cruise at the speed you need. And it tops out at 80-85.
Go almost anywhere else in the world and the popular choice of transportation is a scooter, especially in urban areas. If this is a global scooter then Honda knows they will sell a ton of these. Nice job!
First time scooter buyer here! Already decided that Chinese scooters are no-go for a number of reasons and Vespas are also a no because they don’t have parts warehouses here in the US. Thinking I’m gonna go Japanese. Loving the look of this scooter, and the price tag isn’t bad at all either! Thank you!
It's a nice scooter but I would probably just go with the regular PCS 150 for about a grand less. I really miss riding one as the saying "its more fun to drive a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow" applies every day when your on a smaller bike.
I just picked up a used PCX this week, and it is a hoot to ride! I also have a Concours 1400 that will break every speed limit in 2nd gear, and I have to fight myself to keep it below speeds where I'd get arrested. It's fun to go fast sometimes, but being able to wring out some of these small bikes is a more fun than having to back off after 2nd gear.
well I live in Asian and it is actually that expensive here, and 4k$ just the base price without tax and legal papers, if you want the abs version it will cost more, scooter price in Asian is absolute joke
4k is expensive for a scooter but its worth it. In all honesty it's better then buying a 150cc Chinese scooter for 2k they always have issues and you constantly gotta worry about replacing the parts with aftermarket parts. Yes people do that to their vehicles all the time but I'd rather have a brand new stock scooter with nothing wrong and you can always take it to your nearest honda dealership for a free fix if you have warranty of course.
I’ve owned my 2022 Honda ADV 150 for 0ver 5,000 miles. I average about 108 mpg up to 118 mpg with my 240 lb. Mass . It is a great ride with easy handling.👍 Zero to 45 mph is the sweet spot for this scooter.👍
I unfortunately only have the space in my garage for 1 bike, but if I had the space, I’d totally give scooters a nod for just round-town errands and stuff. I’d even use it to commute to work IF I didn’t have to take the freeway with the incredible gas mileage and storage capacity they offer. I really don’t know why scooters aren’t much more common around the US, at least within the urban cores.
And that's because the cost of living is 10 times higher it is a difficult thing to accept how much it is here but compared to what the average wages in the United States the scooter is much much much less expensive compared to Asia it is a sad fact of life don't misunderstand me the number of problems in the United States are too numerous to even discuss here but the scooter price is actually cheaper in the US than it is in Asia because of the cost-of-living and average daily wage
The other thing is it's 77.5mpg for this 150cc Scooter, but the Honda Rebel 300cc has a 78mpg rating. The 300cc goes faster, legal nationwide for interstate use, you can change sprockets out to get more mpg/top speed or less mpg/faster acceleration. I don't see the point of this, you save.. 1.5k? but you lose the capabilities of legal interstate driving, you lose the customization options, you lose out being able to just "tour" on a Rebel 300 to see the relatives 2 states away, with this Scooter, you'd need to pack light or have a backpack, a Rebel 300 can have saddlebags, a taller windscreen, etc, etc, etc. TL;DR This scooter competing against a Rebel 300 (both are light on wallet, same MPG even though Scooters generally outdo Motorcycles in terms of efficiency) , overall, the Rebel 300 seems bast bang for the buck to me.
@@MrCODEmaster00 the Rebel 300 is 2x the cost of this thing here in the Philippines. When you live in a third world country with wages that is barely enough for daily needs and some, scooters will always be the way to go since they're cheaper, and not having to bother with a clutch frees up the left hand and can be used to hold on to other stuff (yep, dangerous yet so damn common practice here like having to hold a case of beer, groceries, etc.). I like scooters but I am not a fan of the ADV 150 as even with the sub $3k price tag over here, there are other scoots with the same displacement that give better value for money and cost way less. Heck, there are even honda and yammie scooters that go as low as $1.5k brand new (these dominate the streets here) that are enough for the highways here since most highways have a speed limit of 60kph and them scoots can go over 90. If I have the money, I would also go with the rebel 300, r3 or a used z650. But I am poor as shit so I am currently stuck with a honda rs125fi. Still striving daily to get myself an r3 someday.
I thought in 2019 there was an assembly bill “AB 1810” section “6” that would remove the requirement to have a M1 license and can have any class of license such as a class c?
Iam hearing rumors from utube influencer who is saying honda reach out to him to try out a new scooter but he couldn't talk about specific details because he signed confidentiality agreement, but iam almost sure it's the adv 350 or at least Iam hoping it is
It's not really a worldwide model. Given that it isn't and won't be for sale in the EU. The closest comparable model we get over here is the Forza 125, which has the same power as the ADV150, but from a 125cc (due to EU A1 license restrictions) SOHC 4V single cylinder engine. So at a 149cc this would be an A2 scooter and it'd have to compete with much more powerful 300 and 400cc scooters. It also makes me wonder if they don't sell the 149cc 2V engine here because it won't pass Euro5 regulations. Honda does sell a 156cc scooter here, but that does come with a 4valve enigine, rather than a 2valve. Also they're only sold with front and rear disc brakes and 2 channel ABS, which I suppose is in no small part due to the fact that new bikes can only be sold with 2 channel ABS here. What did surprise me is that you stated a 77MPG fuel economy, which converts to about 3.0l/100km, compared to the 2.1l/100km Honda specifies for the Forza 125. Which converts to 112MPG. Though according to SpritMonitor, Honda is slighly optimistic and in reality the Forza 125 sips 2.4l/100km, but that's still a solid 98MPG. For comparison the average 50cc moped scooter gets about 1.5l/100km.
What a shame the way Europe is infringing and enslaving it's people, Step 1 was definitely you all giving up your arms, the leaders of the so called democracies are definitely absolutely corrupt and drunk on the power we give them to much of
In the U.S. the PCX is only around $350 less than the ADV. Unfortunately dealerships ridiculously mark up the price on the ADV, making the PCX the better choice. The PCX also comes with a back rack, which is optional for the ADV.
thank you for the video,,, i'm about to buy one so i check our honda dealership website and i found 2021 and 2022 both same price so are there any difference? thank you
I hope these sell well so that I can pick up a lightly used one in a few years for $2,500. $4,200 is way too much money for a 150 scooter. Seems like a nice little machine though.
I bought Honda Air Blade 150cc recently and everything is fantastic but the only let down is the not-too-smart key, I wanted the mechanical one bc I know how bad the smartkey can be, I don't want to forget to turn the FOB off and let the battery drain but too bad Honda only provide smartkey nowaday. Beside the key, Honda Scooters are my favorites, they are well designed, well made and long lasting. I used to have Honda Lead 110cc ( called Elite in the US if my memory's serving me right ) and I have had it for over 10yrs, she still running good, even I didn't give her proper care cuz I was dumb. Props to Honda.
I'm here in Thailand the ADV160 is a pretty big seller here for 30% less. I'm 185lbs. but chose the smaller Qbix125 because smaller is better here in Thailand; much more maneuverable, easier to drive through traffic, easier to park, etc.
Same! I cannot believe it made it to the USA. Will the aftermarket bore up kits even reach the US? 150cc is not suitable for the USA. Maybe if it was a high comp 250cc with 4 valves long stroke, that would be really great!
When is the X-ADV gonna be available? At 150cc I don’t think Honda wants sell many of these in duh States? I would however run, jump, and leap for a 400 cc version or the XADV’s luscious 700cc twin!
In my country, cost about 3150 USD SRP. A dream scooter. our roads are on the "Rough" and a bit of dirts and stones so.. This is a perfect motorcycle in my opinion
i just dont see the point of smart keys. The traditional ingnition key slot is actually an excellent place to keep your key while riding. That little storage where he put the key doesnt really look safe he had to hit the door twice to try and keep it closed, i'd be nervous it would open up and the key fall out.
Do you suppose you will do an actual MC Commute episode where you take it to the office from home? Or does the freeway ban preempt that? Seems like PCH north to Crown Valley Parkway to Moulton Parkway would keep you off of I-5. Where do you start from? That looks like Dana Point harbor in the background. (left Cali about 35 years ago, can you tell?)
Nice scoot, but the lack of dual sport tires available for the adv 150 kills it for me. Honda could have followed the Yamaha Zuma 125s tire size and been on top for sure. Hopefully no one gets a flat tire on that adv because all the off-road fun will be over in a hurry trying to find a replacement tire. It's a glorified pcx as soon as the tires wear away. Ride safe!
Here in the US, scooters have to have below a certain seat height and the X-Adv apparently exceeds that. I heard that because scooters don't have foot controls, like motorcycles, they have different DOT regulations.
I liked the styling but I really want the "big ruckus". I thought its minimalist styling was awesome. Plus it had a bigger engine. But I might be the only one that liked its looks.
$4400 for a 150cc engine is pretty insane. The press release ride explains why they didn't have the ADV 750X to ride. I'm not sure who would buy this in America, maybe if it had a 300 or 500cc engine I could see a point.
Ya we only had its cousin the PCX150, I had two of them, they were awesome, the power was absolutely linear. But the cheap rear springs and shocks, and narrow tires hurt my back after 5 hours of doing food delivery per day. When the ADV150 came up, I jumped for joy, because it addresses exactly what I complained about. Sadly, one would need to go the USA to get one. I may just do that...
I paid $5k for my Duke 390. Top speed on the Duke is in the 90s. It's highway legal, and looks a lot cooler. This is an interesting scoot, but I think Honda priced it too high to be competitive.
The seat looks like an afterthought compared to the style of the bike. Flatter, wider front seat, and maybe a tad lower. Elongate and widen the passenger seat. The front of the seat angles up and comes to a point. The rear seat looks very thin when you opened it at the end.
I thought for sure Adam would have delegated this ride to his associate. Hey Adam, I know it’s been out for a while, but how about an MC commute on a GSXR1000R? The 2020 black and red one would be nice!
Having riding motorcycles for 10yrs, it's really wonderful having scooters for daily commute and i own one of these adv150. Here in Asia adv equipped with a powerful rear rotor brake. Wonder why America getting drum brakes?
I can't believe this little guy made it to the states, my father work in indonesian honda factory making these, kinda proud haha
Awesome!

I dont care what anyone says. Scooters are cool.
True all day ...if you enjoy it go for.it...always some hater no matter what LoL
Not all scooters are cool. More like practical
Motorcycles suck for daily commuting. Having the storage space under the seat is fantastic.
I am inclined to agree, especially considering the ease of use and insurance costs. My CBR was killing me on the insurance.

So at a 149cc this would be an A2 scooter and it'd have to compete with much more powerful 300 and 400cc scooters. It also makes me wonder if they don't sell the 149cc 2V engine here because it won't pass Euro5 regulations. Honda does sell a 156cc scooter here, but that does come with a 4valve enigine, rather than a 2valve. Also they're only sold with front and rear disc brakes and 2 channel ABS, which I suppose is in no small part due to the fact that new bikes can only be sold with 2 channel ABS here.
What did surprise me is that you stated a 77MPG fuel economy, which converts to about 3.0l/100km, compared to the 2.1l/100km Honda specifies for the Forza 125. Which converts to 112MPG. Though according to SpritMonitor, Honda is slighly optimistic and in reality the Forza 125 sips 2.4l/100km, but that's still a solid 98MPG. For comparison the average 50cc moped scooter gets about 1.5l/100km.
What a shame the way Europe is infringing and enslaving it's people,
Step 1 was definitely you all giving up your arms, the leaders of the so called democracies are definitely absolutely corrupt and drunk on the power we give them to much of
Thats 3000 dollars in the Philippines. You can even make it more beautiful with all the accessories in the market
In the U.S. the PCX is only around $350 less than the ADV. Unfortunately dealerships ridiculously mark up the price on the ADV, making the PCX the better choice. The PCX also comes with a back rack, which is optional for the ADV.
thank you for the video,,, i'm about to buy one so i check our honda dealership website and i found 2021 and 2022 both same price so are there any difference?
thank you
I hope these sell well so that I can pick up a lightly used one in a few years for $2,500. $4,200 is way too much money for a 150 scooter. Seems like a nice little machine though.
U can finance one
It's more like 6k out the door
Has anybody added a large rear luggage rack?
Any info?
Thanks.
I bought Honda Air Blade 150cc recently and everything is fantastic but the only let down is the not-too-smart key, I wanted the mechanical one bc I know how bad the smartkey can be, I don't want to forget to turn the FOB off and let the battery drain but too bad Honda only provide smartkey nowaday. Beside the key, Honda Scooters are my favorites, they are well designed, well made and long lasting. I used to have Honda Lead 110cc ( called Elite in the US if my memory's serving me right ) and I have had it for over 10yrs, she still running good, even I didn't give her proper care cuz I was dumb. Props to Honda.
I'm here in Thailand the ADV160 is a pretty big seller here for 30% less.
I'm 185lbs. but chose the smaller Qbix125 because smaller is better here in Thailand; much more maneuverable, easier to drive through traffic, easier to park, etc.
US get the rear drum brake? As far as I know, there is no rear drum brake for Adv.
Everybody at Honda and their grandmothers know that nobody is taking this scooter off-road. Full points for style though
Same! I cannot believe it made it to the USA. Will the aftermarket bore up kits even reach the US? 150cc is not suitable for the USA. Maybe if it was a high comp 250cc with 4 valves long stroke, that would be really great!
We were waiting for the X-ADV 750, instead we got 150cc scooter that is almost $5000. Why?
It cost 10 grand in Singapore 😆
Jake chen correction 15k now
15k in Singapore is disgusting.
Hallo sir i have a cb 400sf 1998 model my bike's one sylender not working in low rpm i checked the plug and main jet can u give me a solution
My daily motorcycle, great handling and save fuel a lot
Price here in the Philippines is P149,000 around $3,057.
Yeah, same in Thailand but the Indonesian guy above is claiming $2,000 in Indonesia which is BS.
“Worldwide scooter “ ? It’s not available in Canada
When is the X-ADV gonna be available? At 150cc I don’t think Honda wants sell many of these in duh States? I would however run, jump, and leap for a 400 cc version or the XADV’s luscious 700cc twin!
Come on Yamaha now that Honda has released a rugged looking Click in USA, go ahead and give us your Aerox!
Yes please! Yamaha 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 bring Aerox 155 S to the USA!
Price is $4,299 in CR,Ia. Just purchased 2022 Red Honda ADV 150 8-10-2022
Can someone tell me if we need to get a motorcycle licence for this one in Illinois ?
Great review very educational. I am waiting for the. Fonza350
why it is not allowed in california freeway i thought 150cc higher is allowed in freeway, just a question :)
In my country, cost about 3150 USD SRP. A dream scooter. our roads are on the "Rough" and a bit of dirts and stones so.. This is a perfect motorcycle in my opinion
i just dont see the point of smart keys. The traditional ingnition key slot is actually an excellent place to keep your key while riding. That little storage where he put the key doesnt really look safe he had to hit the door twice to try and keep it closed, i'd be nervous it would open up and the key fall out.
What do you mean you cant drive that on highway? Do you mean interstate or really just highway?
Didn’t tot America will get a Southeast Asia scooter
GDM I think it’s the price of Zx25... that bike is more expensive compared to the 400... probably think it will Not sell well
how if they bring back zx 400r after this for global market
Do you suppose you will do an actual MC Commute episode where you take it to the office from home? Or does the freeway ban preempt that? Seems like PCH north to Crown Valley Parkway to Moulton Parkway would keep you off of I-5. Where do you start from? That looks like Dana Point harbor in the background. (left Cali about 35 years ago, can you tell?)
Does it need to be registered with California DMV?
Nice scoot, but the lack of dual sport tires available for the adv 150 kills it for me. Honda could have followed the Yamaha Zuma 125s tire size and been on top for sure. Hopefully no one gets a flat tire on that adv because all the off-road fun will be over in a hurry trying to find a replacement tire. It's a glorified pcx as soon as the tires wear away. Ride safe!
How are the passenger accommodations?
Why didn’t they bring the 750 version to the US?
Prolly to test the market for scooters in the US.
Here in the US, scooters have to have below a certain seat height and the X-Adv apparently exceeds that. I heard that because scooters don't have foot controls, like motorcycles, they have different DOT regulations.
$3,000 in the Philippines 🇵🇭 with disc brake at the rear :)
Same in indonesia with disc brake at the rear and has abs technology
Do had big vibration at handle bar?
I liked the styling but I really want the "big ruckus". I thought its minimalist styling was awesome. Plus it had a bigger engine. But I might be the only one that liked its looks.
I can't even find a used one here in the USA.
Their owners will not let them go
@@Winterstick549 I found one on FB market place or cycle trader, but it was in Pennsylvania or some place in the NE.
I relocated to Asia for work and scooter are the way around the city.
NOT available in The Netherlands at this moment. 😓
Do I need a motorcycle driver license on that 150cc in California?
Is that cook’s corner?
Why didn't they put the 286 in it for the usa?
The 750cc version of this Honda is a beast!
But it’s overpriced tho. The NC750X DCT is so much cheaper and is basically as practical as the X-ADV.
Gday Adam , thanks mate great review , trying to source a red one in Australia atm.
$4400 for a 150cc engine is pretty insane. The press release ride explains why they didn't have the ADV 750X to ride. I'm not sure who would buy this in America, maybe if it had a 300 or 500cc engine I could see a point.
$4400 is a lot. Especially if the Honda Navi sells for less than half. ($1807)
They need to bring the ADV 350 here and slang that shit for 4999.
Should I buy one? I don't know if I should buy one? Please tell me???
Will Europe get an 125cc version? 150 makes little sense here due to license requirements
If I was still living in the city I'd ride this instead and save my gixxus for recreation. I'd have so much fun whipping this thing around in traffic!
I stopped riding my DR650 due to knee arthritis. But this little guys seems very comfortable
Since when is $4400 for a 125 scooter "extremely affordable"
keep it for 5 years or more, its pretty cheap compared to using a car or an annual train ticket to London. But yes there are cheaper scoots.
150cc
I appreciate you, Adam!
Can It go on the highway comfortably
did you use high beam light entire time?
Good review, thanks.
Unfortunately, Honda Canada does not offer this scooter. Canada always seems to get screwed. Maybe we'll get by ....oh ....2022.
Ya we only had its cousin the PCX150, I had two of them, they were awesome, the power was absolutely linear. But the cheap rear springs and shocks, and narrow tires hurt my back after 5 hours of doing food delivery per day. When the ADV150 came up, I jumped for joy, because it addresses exactly what I complained about. Sadly, one would need to go the USA to get one. I may just do that...
Shaking CVT intensifies.
But wait, rear brake still drum brake? In indonesia was disc brake
I paid $5k for my Duke 390. Top speed on the Duke is in the 90s. It's highway legal, and looks a lot cooler. This is an interesting scoot, but I think Honda priced it too high to be competitive.
I have the honda. It was finding a Duke that's the problem.
How I remember dragging my knees in slow motion on small bikes......and thinking how much fun I was having!
The seat looks like an afterthought compared to the style of the bike. Flatter, wider front seat, and maybe a tad lower. Elongate and widen the passenger seat. The front of the seat angles up and comes to a point. The rear seat looks very thin when you opened it at the end.
I love my Yamaha Xmax but I'm thinking of getting the Honda ADV 350 or Kymco AK550 at the end of the year.
I thought for sure Adam would have delegated this ride to his associate. Hey Adam, I know it’s been out for a while, but how about an MC commute on a GSXR1000R? The 2020 black and red one would be nice!
Having riding motorcycles for 10yrs, it's really wonderful having scooters for daily commute and i own one of these adv150. Here in Asia adv equipped with a powerful rear rotor brake. Wonder why America getting drum brakes?
I have a Honda 125 Wave in Thailand.
I wish it was available in the USA.
This scooter been selling in Asia for few years. We have rear disks brake.
And abs and idling stop system
Thats why in asia you would need that
