Just picked one up here in Colorado yesterday. I had a 2023 Zuma 125 that I loved but was just a little underpowered. This little ADV 160 had just the amount I was looking for to get around the hills of my areas. They gave me almost $3000 trade for the Zuma and I couldn’t pass it up. Awesome little scoot!
The ADV 160 is a nice scooter, I've ridden it around Thailand for the last 3 months with zero problems. It has a fuel capacity of 8l not 30l lol. I get about 52km/l on the highway. I do regret not buying a Honda Forza 350 though.
I'm buying one in a couple weeks in Philippines. They are about $3,000 there. I'm going to swap out the flyballs from the stock 19g ones to 17g for a bit more power. i just wish they hadn't went to matte finishes on them. I found a place that will clear coat mine for $100 though, so I'll be ok.
after trying out all the scooters, we bought a Yamaha NMAX 155. The boot isn't as big as the Honda ADV, but everything else is superior. Much more fun to ride. Better acceleration, easier braking, handling and above all stability. We set out to buy an ADV and ended up with a Yamaha NMAX! Test before you buy
Really? My friend has nmax 155 while i have the 2020 adv 150 we switched when we went on a 100 kl ride for me the adv is still more stable and easier to handle it was just slower at accelerating
I got one. Its a great bike. Couple odd fails though - There's no cable pass through for the USB port limiting its use - I drilled a small hole in the cubby to pass the cable through. The mirrors are totally useless for taller/wider riders. All I can see is my arms. I got some extenders, but hate the look, so ordered some different mirrors that will hopefully go out far enough. Rear suspension travel for 2-up is a bit low, but we are nearly at max weight 2-up so I don't fault that too much. Price in the USA compared to rest of the world stinks. Also, the USA bike only gets drum brake in the rear, so not only do we pay 2x, but its de-featured compared with elsewhere. It was close to ideal for what we wanted overall compared to other options though.
I called my local dealer and they said otd price was $6300! I said no thanks! 3 weeks later they had a used one for sale online with 850 miles on it for $3999 I went and bought it
@@shannondoherty4803 That's a fantastic win by YOU! Yes, I think the U.S. is better for buying used bikes because a lot of times it's only ridden a few months out of the year because of the weather. Here in Thailand we ride year round(but it's HOT many months) so used bikes are usually 75% of the new price. In short it's better to buy new here and used in U.S. Congrats and enjoy your new bike!
@@SladeBling Yes I can't believe the dealer fees that they charge for a small bike? I bought a new monkey in 21 and it will be the last new one I ever buy
The speed limiter is a real pain in the ass. Get the bike going up to 63 mph and then the speed/rev limiter will come on and reduce power. The bike will literally lurch back and forth as you bounce off the rev limiter and there is no way to get around the limiter. Scooterswapshop put a couple of thousand dollars into a adv150 and they couldn't get anymore out of the bike.
That doesn't make sense, I see people here reviewing the adv 160 in u.s. and they are easily reaching 70 mph and after break in of 400 miles 78mph so you might want get your bike looked at by mechanic, I've seen the zuma 125 reach 68mph and that's a 125cc
Here in Thailand, where they are assembled, it costs 3.100 dollar US. But at the moment you can't get one, waiting time is more than a month. One dealer (not Honda) offers them for 3.350 bucks, but I'm not sure if that's the 2023 model.
Any new scooter needs broken in before it reaches its performance peak, it's likely the 160 you tested was brand new, try again after about 400 miles and it will be much different
Adv160 was released as late 2022, early 2023 in Philippines... I own a 2023 with all the upgrades...157cc, hstc, etc. I think the only difference is usa models I think get a parking brakw..not so in my Philippines model.. I would recommend this bike to anyone...great machine....
General thoughts > Don't forget, the ADV 160 is a scooter pretending to be an ADV. I'm buying one in January, so I am not a big bike snob or a bighead . While there is a trend for many advertisers and manufacturers to call scooters ADV bikes, this is a nonsense. They are scooters not motorcycles . The Honda ADV 750, in my opinion, is still just a large-capacity scooter and I would never entertain having something like that. Different horses for different courses. Adventure motorcycles are large and heavy but powerful and comfortable, these bikes are usually in the range of 500-1200 cc or bigger; (some say as small as 400cc but I believe anything bigger than 1000cc should be called a pig, often its a very fat and heavy pig). ). Adventure bikes are great on-road and tolerable off-road. Aimed at riders who do high mileage and venture off-road occasionally, these bikes are capable of a weekend getaway or a two-year Round The World Trip. They handle very differently and are ridden in a different way than scooters are. How is a little automatic scooter, struggling to keep up with highway traffic, an ADV?. There is a recent trend for many advertisers and manufacturers to call scooters ADV bikes and this is a nonsense. Ride safe everyone. Always care well for your treasured machine, whatever it is!
Yes, just a marketing gimmick, it is just a scooter with a slightly rugged look. Rode the Adv 750 in Borneo for a few days… it’s a “pig” and I don’t think will ever buy it. Done 7000+ km tour of Thailand on a 110cc moped, just as interesting compared to a 1200GSA, I took an old beaten Honda PCX 150 for a couple thousand km trim across Thailand.. it is just as capable. The Adv 160 do look interesting, and being an old bikers .. it is very light weight to me and most important its reliability and easy maintenance - hope this still holds true.
@@SladeBling I had the 2021 adv 150 in PKK . Found it good for shorter day trips. Would have liked a bit more power for longer trips though. Am moving back down there. So thinking the adv160 might do, or the Forza.
@@John-redc My neighbor has both a 2018 Forza 300 and a 2024 ADV 350. I've ridden them both and they both are more comfortable/powerful(obviously) than my ADV 160. However, in heavy traffic my ADV 160 is much better, I would have trouble with the bigger/heavier bikes. My neighbor is huge(250lbs) so he needs the 300's/350's I'm under 200lbs I can barely handle them. He swears his new ADV350 is a much better ride than a new Forza350. I think for riding around in Thailand if you're under 210lbs go with a ADV/PCX 160, if you're over 220lbs go with a ADV/Forza 350. If you're betwenn those weights flip a coin lol. He paid 188,000 baht at the BKK Auto Show and it only took 2 weeks for delivery. So, from now on when I buy a new bike I'm only going to order at either the Dec or Mar BKK Auto Shows.
@@SladeBling Thanks for that info. I am a lightweight, so the 160 would suit me. Yes, the 350 would be a bit heavy and not so good for manoeuvrability. I did ride from Muang PKK to Hua Hin once on the 150. It seemed long and harder, that's why I thought of more power. I will most probably move to HH in the coming months, but will keep in mind about the BKK auto show.
@@PrimoStracciatella look up euro4 or euro5 standards.........ONLY bikes having 200cc or more must have full ABS . Now Honda could put dual abs but they DONT.

I've had 6 scooters this is by far the best...very smooth and I've taken it off road where dirt bikes fear.
How does this play on wet roads? I want to use this year round.
@FrancoM12 I always change the tires to Pirelli Angel scooter tires and it always improves handling and safety.
Todos los scooters están excelente no tengo ninguno pero me formó con ver los videos

Yamaha design is outdated and motor is subpar to Honda.

ADV stands for Adventure.. If you don't know that then your opinion is useless.

I hear they're over $4,500 in the U.S. I got mine here in Thailand for $3,100 that's why I live here.

the price of ADV 160 in the US , can buy 2 Honda ADV 160 in the Philippines
As one who bought one in the USA, sadly this is true :(

And less tech than theirs. It doesn't have auto stop start here in the US either.
I finally found a 2024 model at a Honda dealer for only 103.000 baht and am happy with it!
can buy 1 in malaysia only cost little bit more in us, more like 1 and half bike.
The frame also protects your legs from road debris when riding in the wet. Do we know whether heated grips are available?
with a bore and stroke . . . AND?
Took one for a test ride. I can honestly say my 2022 PCX gets higher top speed and definitely handles better.
So, you think the PCX is better overall? I'm currently considering both options.
