You got the full 54 plus minutes out of me today! What a beautiful place at crooked oak
We just bought a Adv150. I'm 5'7" 300lbs. My wife is 5' 120lbs. We rode together and max speed was 60. This is a fantastic bike!!!
thank you... THANK YOU so much for this info
Similar for us.. 6'2" 235, 5'2" 130 on a ADV160. Still in breaking, but still getting almost 90mpg 2-up in town.
Thanks I’m the same size as you right now I have a Ct 125
Any group of guys who can rock scooters and a mini van are great people in my book! All the stereotypes were always nonsense. Fun is fun. Practical people who know how to have fun. Best to you guys.
I have been a scooter geek since 1965. Still am at 73! I also am a lifelong mixed martial artist still. Never Never Judge that old bald scooter Geek.
@@stonehand49 Lol. So I am starting to see. The light-heartedness from the whole community is awesome! I’m afraid to start looking at them.
I understand completely on making changes to your liking or need. Because of back and hip issues, I switched to scooters from Harleys. I couldn’t take the weight on my body anymore. I also needed to slow down on the road. My ADV150 keeps me happily on two wheels!
Same here thinking about selling my street bob and get a scooter or honda Navi.
Ditto, I’ve been riding scooters for some time now.
Trips on bikes like these are absolutely made by having a buddy along.
I picked up a 2022 adv 150 two months ago, what an awesome lil scoot! I also have a goldwing but it sits a lot since i got the scoot lol. I am 6'3 230lbs and it pulls me along no problem and religiously gets 94mpg
Yeah people don't know what they're missing scooters are a lot of fun 😎
I got a Honda ADV 150 just a month ago. I am losing weight riding it. I'll gladly take that side effect
I’m not only a first time scooter driver, I’m a first time driver period, so this kind of trip is what I’m building to down the road, great video.
“If you don’t like it, change the channel, eat my ass!” Best thing I’ve heard in a while!
I was planning on getting the PCX 160 but after seeing this and watching allot of other things on it, and checking out the accessories for them. The ADV is more what I need. I’ll be doing some touring with it after I move out to CA. Thanks for the great info and on a side note I loved the rant about the haters that was hilarious. I’m with you on that. You get these for you not for them, screw them.
Howdy, JR, and thanks for watching! I don't think you can go wrong with either scooter. The PCX is slightly more efficient because of its aerodynamics and lower seating position. The ADV has better ergonomics with its wide, flat bars and better suspension. The ADV also feels a bit more stable at higher speeds with its wider tires.
Neither scooter is really designed with the intention of long-distance touring... they are more suited as city runabouts. However, Honda builds these little machines as tough as nails. All of the ADV150's that entered into the 2021 Scooter Cannonball Run survived the 4500+ mile trip across the country (except for the riders who droped out).
I will be riding my 2015 PCX150 6500+ miles around the USA again this June for the 2023 Scooter Cannonball Run, so stay tuned for the adventure! Cheers! 😉👍--QM
"If you're on two wheels its a lot of fun!" Excellent comment!
For such a big guy, he doesn't look like circus act on that Adv150. I'm 6'2" 235# but I think my wife would love one of those for her too. She's 5'10" 160# and I'm guessing she'd be a screamer on that thing.
So excited with your videos, already planning my trips for summer. Thanks
America is more beautiful when seen on rural roads.
Love this video! I am a new subscriber and just found your channel recently. I haven't had a bike in a while and gave been eyeing scooters. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Excellent videos! Thank you! I'm enjoying your rides. I can't wait to get back to my scooter. I have a vespa 150 I answered medical assist calls and firefighting on that vespa. Lights and all! Again thank you!
Thanks for the video! 💯
I'm intrigued. Probably time to go look at scooting, having ridden bikes forever many years ago. I admire the 125cc offerings, but non-highway has got to top out minimum 65mph with 50mph roads around here. Thanks, this helped!
Your language is very comforting. You are my new favorite UA-camr. :)
Wow, thank you! 🙏😉👍 --QM
Hey thanks for this. Haven't been on two wheels in quite some time, and it was just relaxing and fun to listen to a couple of dudes just taking a trip. So thanks man. You made my night and I hope to be back getting some wind therapy soon. :)
Thanks for watching and leaving feedback! I'm glad that you enjoyed the ride! I've heard from several viewers who aren't able to ride due to health or weather that these videos are theraputic and cathartic to watch. Hopefully, you're able to get back on 2 (or 3) wheels soon and soak up some wind therapy. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Wow man I really enjoyed the video and the end was super with the old shop and I loved the old petrol pumps with the car. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 I will be doing some videos soon with my motorscooter, have a good one.
I just got a 2022 Honda adv 150 and it was the only one they had or could get so I ran down there and grabbed it😈👍👍. This thing is awesome and very fun to ride and at 220lbs it doesn’t feel and ride like I’m putting much weight on it and feels great on the road!
I really like the way the ADV looks(except for that display,you need binoculars to see whats on the display). I haven't ridden one yet but i bet it rides well and feels good too.
Agreed! I think that Honda could have done better with the ADV150's display by minimizing the clutter, increasing the font sizes, and maybe adding a non-glare cover on the plastic face. Maybe those changes will be incorporated in the next model upgrade. 😉👍 --QM
I'm very impressed by how well those scooters performed on the highway
Howdy, Ronald, and thanks for the feedback! Another friend of mine (Adrian) and I rode my PCX150's nearly 2000 miles to Arkansas and back in May 2020. The scooters performed flawlessly throughout the trip, and they returned impressive fuel economy of ~100 MPG! You can watch that series here if you're interested:

@@QuasiMotard I will check it out
Quasi - I think having the event at that campsite will be amazing! If you do I will ride down from New Jersey!
Your videos have greatly influenced my recent purchases of the Super Cub and the Navi. Now I want an ADV. Seriously though, I enjoy your work and have learned a lot about maintenance and riding in general. Thanks….
ADV is a great bike, you will love it~
I also love Quasi videos and learned a lot. Thanks to videos I purchased pcx 2021 model and I am so happy. Greetings from Poland
Scooters are so much fun and way more comfortable for me.. Keep on riding..
I’m getting me one of these bro, You guys look like you’re having a great time they look so much fun I’m missing out so bad. Thanks for the content, new subscriber here to your channel.
Wow, that would be such a fun trip to take.
it's nice to see you guys love to ride 150cc because here in Indonesia 150cc is a commonly affordable scooter bike.
That does it, Im buying one tomorrow. They have two red ones at my dealer. I do a regular drive of about 35 miles one way and back at 55-60. I have a Honda Grom that has a intake, Hindle exhaust, tuned ECU, Oil spinner delete, oil cooler and a cam. The Grom will cruise at 60mph at 7k rpms. It just seems a bit to high into the rpms and I want something more suited for cruising. I am 5'7" and weigh 170lbs so I am fairly confident that 60mph cruising is going to be easy for the ADV 150. Ill probably make modifications to the clutch and variator.
Just bought a Piaggio Beverly 400 hpe, best scoot I've had so far. U should be getting it in USA this year.
didn't know these bikes are also sold in US. Great looking PCX you got there! I have the same scooter and it is fun for daily. Ergonomics is everything. New sub from Manila.
The cut outs on the windscreen are so you can more easily reach the adjuster knobs for the windscreen
Quasi love your adventure on the scoots, never imagined you could travel on a scooter. Gas by far is amazingly cheap, by chance can you install a bigger gas tank? Ever since you did the Navi giveaway I have been checking out your channel. Keep up the vids on your scooters ride safe Quasi !
What a nice video ! I learned to love small displacement bikes now that I own a CRF300L. THey are fantastic, I rediscovered why I started dual sport in the first place. On a big bike you are so concentrated not to drop it that you can't enjoy the ride anymore. In Europe there are no PCX 150's only 125's but it seems that this year they will come. I am seriosly thinking of getting one for going to the workplace. You are often speaking about the transmision upgrade, what kind of upgrade is that? really enjoyng your adv trips. Hello from Romania !
Thanks for the feedback, and greetings from the USA! Riding smaller, lighter bikes is the essence of motorcycling in my opinion. I grew up riding and racing motorcycles and karts, so making the most of what you had was the essence of the game.
Congrats on your CRF300L! I completely agree... riding off-road with a big, heavy bike is clumsy and dangerous. Those big machines break things when the fall down (and they WILL fall). More weight means more kinetic energy, so things are going to break... either parts on the bike or on the rider. I prefer to tackle my off-road chores with a bike that weighs less than 350 pounds (160 kg) so it's easier to manage and that makes the ride much more enjoyable.
The transmission upgrades that I installed into my PCX150's will also work on the PCX125 models. You can watch that video here: ua-cam.com/video/mGOkjguOs60/v-deo.html . The white PCX in this video has the Dr.Pulley variator and sliders in it: www.steadygarage.com/store/dr-pulley-pcx-150-125-sh125i-sh150-pcx125-pcx150-variator-set . That link is from a USA distributor, but you can probably search the part number to find a local source. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard thank you ! I will take a detailed look on this mod ! Have a great day !
I have a 2013 pcx 150 it's a blast to ride around town.
I like your videos , I own a SH150 I love my scoot and driving everywhere on my little Honda 😂
Awesome New Scoots.....My 1985 Elite 250 will only run 68mph.....Still Runs like new though.
What is your top speed on pcx 150? What year and variator tune do you have? I'm thinking 2019 & 2020 pcx 150 have 149cc and can't be riding on highway. Only 2018 or early have 153cc of even 2021 pcx 160 has 157cc. So what I saw, is 149cc and Below no highway, 150cc and above you can use highway
Good to know about the grasshopper/gravel/bug warning cause if that hit me my dramatic self will just fall over 😭
Nice addition by asking height and weight, Quasi. 👍👍
Hey, you ended up getting more than a few hours out of the meet up! 😂😂😂 Still can’t believe you made that trek, but glad you did! 🤘🏻
I'm finally editing that ride series right now! 😉👍 --QM
How do you like your phone mounts?
Recommend them and if so, what kind are they?
Thanks in advance.
You gotta love a Honda these pcx150 run as good as they look and they do look good , love the channel I’m a subscriber
👊 Thanks for the support, Marc! These scooters are fantastic little machines, and they are far more capable than most riders realize. I completed the 2023 Scooter Cannonball Run on this white PCX150 in June 2023. I rode it ~6300 miles from Houston to California, then across the country to South Carolina, and back to Houston again! You can find that video playlist here, if you're interested in watching: ua-cam.com/play/PLLXxDh3JumLnX1mjsF0BtAmV0IqEVaAAE.html . Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
You should see the progress now ! 👍😁 I’ve got at least half of what I need cleared. I also had 36 ton of road base delivered and I spreader it all on the road area. I’ve also cleared three trails to ride on. I love doing this cause I truly love all you Ryker and spider folks. You’re all friendly and interesting. I like it !! We’re going to have fun and raise a few bucks for charities too. Thanks to Quasi and all the guys that came out. I hope you come out again soon.
Quasi, this video gets ten thumbs up if I could. It’s really well done. Thank you all !
I LOVED my 2015 PCX 150. I still believe it's the best all around scooter under 200cc. The one thing keeping it from perfection was the valve adjustment frequency and relative difficulty to access. I've been hoping they add some access panel eventually here to fix that.
Agreed! The valve maintenance procedure is tedious at best, but it's not difficult after the plastics have been removed. I need to do the adjustments again on both of my PCX150's, but I'm not looking forward to the tupperware mess. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
How often does it need to be adjusted and how much does that cost in a shop ?
@@KINGTERIK Sorry for the late reply... just saw your comment. Honda lists the valve check/adjustment intervals at only 2.5K miles for the 2015-2018 PCX's! Realistically, it can be stretched to 4-6K miles without worrying. Every time that I've checked mine, the valves are still in-spec. I had the Honda shop do the first maintenance on both of my PCX150's so it would show on the warranty card just in case there were any problems in the future. The shop charged me $400 for labor because of all of the plastics! OUCH! I've done it myself from that point forward.
The procedure isn't that difficult if you have the shop manual and the right tools on hand. It's just tedious to pull all of the plastics to get in there to do the job. The seat, center cover, side panels, and the trunk tray need to come out before you can access the engine head. There are lots of small plastic tabs that are easy to break on those panels, so it's a bit nerve wracking the first couple of times. It's not so bad after you've been in there a couple of times, but it's still time consuming. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@QuasiMotard Your response and information are greatly appreciated. My last question. What are the signs that it's time for an adjustment ? Thanks, and I enjoy your channel
@KingTerik The best approach is to follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for the first few intervals and then use your judgment about stretching or contracting those intervals based on your particular engine and usage history.
The obvious signs of valves being out of adjustment can be excessive ticking at engine start-up (cold start), louder than normal valve noises at idle, backfiring, or when the engine is hard to start (spins over a long time before firing). The not-so-obvious signs are usually worsening fuel economy and slightly higher emissions.
The valves will become tighter over time as the valve seats in the head wear down, which allows the valve stem to ride higher/closer to the rocker arms. This eventually prevents the valves from sealing completely, which allows loss of cylinder compression and lower engine efficiency. Hot gasses escaping past the exhaust valve during the power stroke can burn the valves, valve seats, and other engine components... eventually leading to premature engine failure.
The traditional logic is that "loose valves are happy valves," meaning that they are fully closed and don't allow compression loss. However, excessive slack can also cause problems such as lower engine performace due to less valve lift and volumetric efficiency (can't move as much air through the cylinder), rocker arm and/or valve stem damage, etc... but those scenarios are much less common than tight/burned valves. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
You did a great video!
Thanks for the feedback! 👊😉👍 --QM
QuAwsome. I would love to see you do a piece on comms and vlogger tech sometime. Kind regards.
I have not had a motorcycle since I was a teen (I'm in my 40s) been looking and looking and looking for something 2 wheels and I think I am going with the PCX. I like your setup. BUT what's this thing about that makes more power? That would be nice for the Ozarks here, lots of hills. BTW been to Fredericksburg, Texas years ago...Had a wild time with some friends back early 2000s. LOL EDIT: Just watched the new vid. Heck yeah, can't wait for the 2nd one to see how it will run up here.
I like your question about what you want to buy on different bikes! QM I did a lot research on different scooter & motorcyce and I choose this 2007 Piaggio mp3 250ie because it three in one a trike a scooter & motorcycle! QM
I just bought a new 2022 pcx 160 so far the rear shocks suck, the seat sucks big time, and i replaced the mirrors. But other than that its a good ride. top speed so far 80mph still stock. but im being kind of easy on it breaking in. its good to see a pcx video, not many in the USA. good video guys!...........were did you get the seat counion? i sure need one of them.
Thanks for the feedback! The AirHawk Cruiser Large seat cushion fits well on the PCX150/ADV150: amzn.to/3wlCr9a . The screen that I have on my 2015 PCX150 is the National Cycle VStream Sport Touring (medium height): www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/national-cycle-vstream-sport-touring-windscreen-honda-pcx150-2014-2018?sku_id=1161414 . I like the height of this screen, but I think that the Tall Touring screen would work better to reduce helmet turbulence: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/national-cycle-vstream-tall-touring-windscreen-honda-pcx150-2014-2018?sku_id=1161415. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Hope you get the (retired)honda silverwing scooter back out on the road some day and some of your other bike collection for us to see is there any videos on your youtube channel of any trips you did on that scooter you mentioned you still had your silverwing in the honda navi camping livestream
I wasn't in the habit of recording video several years ago when I rode the SilverWing. I plan to get it back out on the road this spring, and I'll be sure to post some videos of that great machine. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
i got a 2020 pcx for my commute but have really put the miles on it, about 24k in two years. mileage around town when the temps are above 80 i am getting about 115mpg but it drops to about 85 when the ride is 60mph or more. like you i am planning on getting the rebel 1100 in the next few months, the low seat being a major factor. how do you like yours so far?
The Rebel 1100 is a great bike, and I'm really enjoying it so far. It's much heavier than the PCX at 508 pounds, but the low seat height and low-slung engine helps to make it more manageable. The DCT is fantastic for commuting and highway trips because you never need to row through the gears, slip the clutch or other drudgery. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Yeah buddy! 👌
my silverwing windshield is about 2 inch's to short. but the only one i can find is 4 inch taller. the last one i got it cost me as much to hae it cut as it did for the windshield. but its worth it and now that i dont have to sell it to build my house i may order it soon. and still looking for a trail 125.
I wish we have great roads like that.
Nice video
I have a 20`9 PCX 1500 and I love it in city. Once I leave the city, I get blown around by the wind. What did you do to deal with getting blown off the road? Thank you.
The PCX is a lightweight scooter with a LOT of surface area, so it tends to get pushed around on the highway. I've learned to keep a light grip on the bars so I don't influence the steering as my body weight is pushed side to side.
If you haven't installed a windscreen yet, then you should do that immediately! A properly sized screen (just below eye level) makes a huge difference above 50 mph. I noticed that I was gripping the bars too tightly above 50 mph due to the wind pressure on my chest... that was influencing the bike's handling. The National Cycle VStream screen removed all of my chest pressure, so I wasn't influencing the handlebars as much.
Beyond that, I just let it sway around a bit before countersteering so I don't end up wobbling side-to-side as I try to fight gusty conditions. Adrian and I will be riding our PCX150's in the 2023 Scooter Cannonball Run across the USA. We'll have plenty of time to adjust our riding habits for the PCX's highway crosswind dances! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Man, l'd love to come to a meet up at crooked Oak. I only live 70 miles from Fredrickberd
I purchased a used Piaggio mp3 250 IE because I wanted go back riding again after my retirement from the Doctors!
Great video, please post source for taller windshield, ADV160, TIA Joey.
I be getting the ADV 160 2024 soon and I am 6 ft 1 1/2 235 lbs. Been riding Honda knock off for years, just wasted 4k on one last April 150cc and have trust issues with it, like going XX amount of miles and halfway there a break down. Hondas built to last when taken care of. Can't wait to get the AVD 160 soon.
was tom hadning out coffee supplies lol
Hi, I notice that you had your GPS on your scooter, I was wondering how you managed to see your direction under the sun. Any idea how to add on or modify it (GPS) unit so that you can see it under the sun? Thanks.
Howdy! I am running with the Garmin Zumo XT on this trip: amzn.to/3Oai7Ba . The Zumo XT's screen is very bright and legible in full daylight, so I never have any problems reading it at a glance.
The displays on previous Zumo's (e.g., 350, 396, etc) are a bit weak in direct sunlight, so I try to angle them downward or use a glare shield (extended hood over the top of the GPS, secured by Velcro). Most smartphone screens suffer similar problems in direct sunlight, so they can be nearly unusable in some cases.
If you already have a dedicated GPS unit for car or motorcycle, then you can search Amazon for "GPS sun shade" to find options that will fit your unit based on the size of the display.
I've made several sun shades out of black coroplast (corrugated sign board plastic). I cut a large enough rectangular sheet, bent it into a U shape, and secured it to the GPS with strips of Scotch Extreme or 3M dual-lock fastening tape (similar to Velcro, but hard plastic on both sides). I secured one side of the Scotch or 3M tape to the GPS with hot glue and stapled the other side of the tape to the coroplast sheet. It's removable, but not unless you really want it to come off. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
most of the time when i run the rear and i see a car coming up behind me i will go side to side a few time so hopefully he will see us.
Excellent review sir I don’t like riding on interstate with my Honda pcx150 to much blowing lateral!❤️💪
I might be on a scoot but I still give the 2 Tires down wave to every 2 wheeler I see.
omg mini brave man :D - surprised you didnt draft tom on some straighter sections - woulda pulled you quicker
67 MPH he weighs 270 fresh bike, that pretty good for a ADV150cc scooter
They’ll def go upwards of 70mph with someone who’s 147lbs like myself lol I got to test drive one and she was humming at 68 brand new before being broken in! Seriously considering getting this instead of the Navi since I’ll be on the highway at least 8 days a month!
These are the comments I was looking for. Thank you😁
Lol he's literally not "270" listen to 3:10 he says 207 and his friend repeats 270
No, Kevin does indeed weigh 270 pounds. The intercom is a bit crackly and cuts off the end of "70" at the end of his transmission. 😉👍 --QM
Ride your own ride, buddy!! 🙂
30:23 airhawk - i was hugely sceptical of them also but the price here - thats a weekend away - so bought a chinese one for 18 dollars - i wonder why i waited so long haha
Thanks
You have the best videos! I went with the 2022 Honda ADV 150. of 24 dollar question! I am getting conflicting reports. how often do we change the oil and gear oil.
Thanks for the feedback! Honda maintenance schedule for the ADV150 (and PCX150) specifies oil changes every 4K miles, and the final drive every 2 years (no mileage specified) on pages 63-64 of the owner's manual ( cdn.powersports.honda.com/documentum/MWOM/ml.remawmom.22_adv150a__kowa__owner_s_manual.pdf ). I think those are highly optimistic figures, so I don't stretch the oil life that far. These engines only hold about 1 quart of oil, and they don't have oil filters, so that's a LOT of abuse for a small quantity of oil to endure. Oil is cheap, engines aren't.
I always try to change the engine oil on these small scooters and motorcycles every 2000-2500 miles. I've had very good luck with the Pro Honda HP4M (synthetic blend w/ moly) and the HP4S (full synthetic) oils in these engines. I also have magnetic drain bolts in all of my bikes and scoots to help capture abrasive ferrous particulates in the oil. I use the Gold Plug MP-01 in this scooter: amzn.to/3wUITnw
The final drive oil seems to be good for 6-8K miles, but it's always quite dirty and has small metallic sparkles in it every time I change it. I typically change the final drive oil every 2-3 oil changes just to prolong the gears and bearings in there. I use the same oil in the final drive case as in the engine, but full-synthetic is probably best due to the high shear forces encountered in the final drive gears. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard Thanks! Bro! you are the scoot man!!
Always hate how everyone judges your weight when you get a smaller bike or a scooter and from what I’ve seen a lot of big guys or overweight guys ride this thing and are happy like me at 220( hopefully will change to go faster quicker and easier) so if we are happy and it can hold our weight pretty good which seems to then that’s all that matters! I used to have a pcx 125 and loved it but man this adv is different for sure👍
You could raffle off a navi or another small bike at this place...that would be cool as hell.
Which airhawk seat fit on your Honda 159 ADV.
WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR WINDSCREEN
The AirHawk Cruiser Large seat cushion fits well on the PCX150/ADV150: amzn.to/3wlCr9a . I have a couple of these that I swap around to different bikes as needed. The screen that I have on my 2015 PCX150 is the National Cycle VStream Sport Touring (medium height): www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/national-cycle-vstream-sport-touring-windscreen-honda-pcx150-2014-2018?sku_id=1161414 . I like the height of this screen, but I think that the Tall Touring screen would work better to reduce helmet turbulence: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/national-cycle-vstream-tall-touring-windscreen-honda-pcx150-2014-2018?sku_id=1161415. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard j*
Big guy here too. 250 pounds, 5’9. Had a 2016 PCX a few years ago. So, would you go for a 2022 ADV or a 2021 PCX (which has the 160cc)? Of course, they are both hard to find.
I haven't ridden the new PCX160 yet, so I can't say for sure which would be the "better" scoot. With your height and weight, I think the ADV150 would be a more comfortable scoot overall compared to the older 2016 PCX150. I've heard that the newer PCX150 and 160 have revised rear suspension, so that might help, but the additional suspension travel on the ADV150 is hard to beat. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard thanks!
Were you have seat cover etc. to Honda pcx??
My husband and I lost our only key, per dealership we had to purchase fob key and control unit from a dealer, easy to install? ADV 150 2022
Ouch, that sucks! I don't know how difficult that process might be. The factory service manual has a detailed procedure for the emergency unlock routine. It may also give details on reprogramming new remotes without replacing components... I'm not sure, though.
Good luck with that recovery process! Let us know how it goes and what piece(s) you need to replace. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Love the Video..Im looking for a nice used PCX150 myself. They are about $3000 in So Cal. BTW..video is beautiful..What type Camera are you using??
Thanks for the feedback! This video was recorded on my trusty old GoPro Hero 7 Black camera. I process all of my video with Adobe Premiere Pro. I do minor color correction and audio processing (e.g., volume normalization and noise reduction), but most of the picture quality is straight from the cameras. I record group conversations with a dedicated audio recorder and an extra Cardo PackTalk communicator.
I used the Hero 7 cameras for several years, but I have recently upgraded to the Hero 11. The 11 has better image quality, video stabilization, and low-light performance, but it's significantly larger and more cumbersome on the helmet than the older, smaller Hero 7. I might switch back to the Hero 7 at times when I need a smaller footprint. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Did you guys ever figure out you can adjust the windshield on the AVD150?
Yes, Kevin adjusted his windscreen before the ride to the highest position, and I showed the two positions during my initial review video here: ua-cam.com/video/zZBtuv_xmo4/v-deo.html . The problem for us is that the OEM windscreen is very small and doesn't offer much wind protection at higher speeds or for longer highway trips. He upgraded his screen to an aftermarket unit that is a bit taller and suits him better. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Hello my names Chris and I love to watch your videos not like other videos are boring but I lived in Katy I graduated in 96 at Langham creek school and wood love to get me a Honda adv 150 2023 one day so I will be watching your videos and hope to meet you one day In real life I live in Stafford Texas now so have a great one thanks for you video
Howdy, Chris, and thanks for the feedback! We're always looking for new riding buddies and adventures. Drop me a line whenever you get your scoot, and maybe we can arrange a meet-up ride somewhere in the Houston area. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Hey that is cool to see a lady out for a ride on a Harley.
I have a BMW C400x and a Harley 883 Iron great work
'we'll stop at bucc ees = SURPRISE lmao
The highways don't pass by them any more, they just lead directly into them.
Will be getting a PCx 150 soon, had no idea about variators and all the upgrades you could do to it. Getting my license soon too. Any brands you recommend for the pcx like mirrors, variators, cruise, etc thx!
Thanks for the feedback! I've had relatively good luck with Dr.Pulley sliders and performance variators in my scooters. If you need minor acceleration and top speed increases, then the Dr.Pulley sliders are a great upgrade for under $35. You can find lots of good advice on the PCX Forum here:
www.hondapcx.org/
The stock PCX mirrors work well for me, but you can add a set of mirror wideners/extentions to give better rearward visibility: amzn.to/3vb8RVE . The GoCruise throttle lock ( amzn.to/3I7hbtt ) is a great upgrade for any longer rides, and it's cheap!
If you need a top case, then I highly recommend the SHAD cases and mounting systems. The SH34 ( amzn.to/3h1am0y ) and SH39 ( amzn.to/3H2ZZE8 ) both fit very well on the PCX150, and the mounting plate ( www.shadusa.com/products/pcx-125-10-21-top-mount?variant=32428342018090 ) looks like an OEM fit.
I have the SH39 on my 2015 PCX150, and it never ceases to amaze me how much stuff I can carry on with that setup: instagram.com/p/CTsVf-SLf6b/?
You can shop SHAD's entire lineup here: www.shadusa.com/pages/shad-products-for-honda-pcx125-pcx150-2010-to-2021 . Cheers! 😉👍
@@QuasiMotard wow thx for the info! I’m a noob so still learning about all this stuff, really appreciate it. When I get my PCx I’ll definitely look at your recommendations when I get familiar with the bike. Just completed my moto ecourse tonight! Watching your adv vs PCx comparison now.
Add a 171 bi bore kit ,a striker 3.5 ,a cam,and bigger better final drive gears and hold on to those handle bars, loads of speed will be made i love scooters.
I meant a stroker 3.5 lol
Hi, i have a 2013 pcx150, i bought dr. Pulley sliders 19gram thinking they'd give me too speed but no dice. I went back to stock, top speed is 55, 57 on flat. Can you please let me know the part number of name or specs of your variator and sliders?. I have a malossi bell and clutch which is great no more shudder but I just want more top end on my machine. Thank you.
Very interesting
I'm so glad you guys decided to take the backroads. I was watching and skipped ahead as watching a road trip on the freeway is the most boring riding to watch (and do) in the world. When scooting, it's all about the journey not the destination.
Agreed! I absolutely hate taking the super slab anywhere unless I really NEED to get somewhere quickly. The back roads and rural highways are much more enjoyable, and they are definitely safer for smaller bikes to travel... generally lower speeds and fewer homicidal cagers to contend with. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
I've just got a Forza 350 .interested too know what you are using to communicate with.it's clear. It's it Bluetooth.anyways great vid thanks
Howdy, Simon, and congrats on your new Forza 350! We use the Cardo PackTalk EDGE communicators on our rides. I have an extra EDGE joined into the mesh, and it's connected to a dedicated audio recorder to capture the group comm's. I sync that audio track to the helmet camera during the editing process in Adobe Premiere Pro. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
I have a question I have a 2021 Vespa GTE 300 HPE 75TH LIMITED EDITION. and I want to do the scooter cannonball run in 2023 and not use my Vespa. Do you recommended the Honda ADV 150 for the scooter cannonball run or what other scooters would you recommend. Thank you
Hello, Virginia! I haven't examined the route in detail for the 2023 SCBR to know the conditions of the roads (or lack thereof), but I would say that the ADV150 should be a superb Cannonball scoot. We had several of them compete in the 2021 SCBR, and all of them finished (to my knowledge). The new PCX160 should also be a very good machine for the SCBR because it reportedly has a top speed in the 81-83 MPH range without any modifications. The new 4-valve engine in the PCX160 gives a nice bump in performance and efficiency over the older 2-valve design in the PCX150 and ADV150. I'm really hoping that Honda brings the new ADV350 to the USA, but that would certainly be out of the running for the SCBR because of the engine displacement.
The most competetive scoot in 2021 was the Yamaha SMAX 155 because of its displacement and year handicaps; I'm not sure how the scoring for the 2023 SCBR will change in those respects. There will be new scooter "classes" introduced in 2023 for vintage and other performance groupings. I assume that the overall scoring will be adjusted to reflect class winners instead of an overall winner, but that's just an assumption. Cheers, and happy shopping... I hope to see you in 2023! 😉👍 --QM
Thank you
I will see you in 2023 cannonball. I am looking at the both 2022 Honda PCX 160 and the 2022 Honda ADV 150 questions if I get the PCX you mentioned you upgrading the suspension and the Variator? And what brand do you recommend? I found a 2018 PCX with 70 miles on it but I can’t find the difference between the 2018 - 2022. Not sure on this. Is there a big difference in speed between the PCX and ADV. I do like the Honda ADV 150 with the fatter tires lol Besides a taller windshield is there anything else you would recommend on upgrades on the ADV 150?
I just want to say thank you for your advice and videos:) you are amazing
I bought a Benelli panarea 125 can i do a long distance trip with it?
Rotfl…. amazing video…you’re awesome….
The fun you have isn’t necessarily related to the size of your ride. Scooters are great fun, especially here in the smaller islands of the Caribbean.
Which Airhawk do you have on your PCX?
The seat cushion that I use for most of my bikes is the Air Hawk Cruiser Large: amzn.to/3wlCr9a . It fits most seats very well, and it's easy to swap from bike to bike. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Speaking of pain got sunburnt and then it rain while in a t-shirt. Felt like razor blades.
Lovely
Please if u get this comment, I need know if there are motorcycle trailers u can hook to an adv 150
If you check these videos, you can see the trailer that I pull with my Honda Super Cub ( ua-cam.com/video/QcF8qkJlL3c/v-deo.html ) and the CT125 ( ua-cam.com/video/xItNMZ--qSc/v-deo.html ). That is the KipMoto SherpaX adventure trailer: kipmoto.com/pages/sherpax . KipMoto is planning to make a custom hitch for my PCX150, so we will try to make that a dual-fitment for the ADV150/160 and PCX150/160 as well. I will be sure to post updates when that project happens. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
I think I'll buy one of those
You should follow the rules for proper ride to positions when riding the with other guy bikes. It's all about safety. On a double lane road lead blocker position is to the right in the left lane and to the left in the right lane. Predictability is important when with other riders.
