2022 Honda ADV150 - First Ride And Impressions - Awesome Scooter!

[@GasWorksISO]

Yes everyone, the handlebars were crooked. A quick trip to the dealership a few weeks later and they fixed them. Thanks for watching!

[@stevefarms7494]

What it the gas mileage on that bike ?

[@GasWorksISO]

104.8 mpg as if last fill up.

[@hondaryder3779]

[@pappamoomin1]

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 😊

[@Msasha2727]

I think scooter people are a special breed. We don’t need speed to feel that joy and freedom! It’s the same with Mazda Miata people ❤

[@Trekopolis]

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]

Thanks! I Can’t stop riding it! I’ve put 200 miles on it this week and I’m really impressed.

[@Trekopolis]

@@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

[@scooterbob4432]

The 150 was made for congested Southeast Asian cities. For the American market, a 350 would be freeway legal and cheaper than the 750..

[@GasWorksISO]

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.

[@rickybobbydastar6534]

I nice bike I think the top speed is 70 and 76 for the new PCX160. I still can’t decide which to get

[@TheThagerty]

You are one of the main reasons. I bought a 150 ADV. I have owned a lot of motorcycles and this is the most fun I have ever had

[@GasWorksISO]

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.

[@IdahoChevyDude]

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]

Do you need a motorcycle license for this?

[@IdahoChevyDude]

@@story1234 I do in idaho

[@IBADSNU]

​@@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.

[@z.z.4790]

I just bought one instant love. The look is amazing and it rides like a dream. Well done Honda you engineered the perfect small bike.

[@napoland9676]

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.

[@ronsteitz4535]

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.👍

[@jeffjeff4477]

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!!!

[@randynichol2364]

"...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!

[@GasWorksISO]

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..

[@CaptKat3]

Wonderful! I recently bought mine and passed my basic riders test. So looking forward to riding my Honda ADV150!

[@Cjust15]

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. :)

[@pkdude5334]

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.

[@shannondoherty4803]

I just bought one yesterday but I have a blown knee right now and I can't ride it right now. I can't wait

[@simms196]

Nice review, that scooter would make a great little commuter 👍

[@danielwirokusumo]

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

[@rickybobbydastar6534]

U like it better than the PCX 160?

[@danielwirokusumo]

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

[@Motahead7930]

Awesome ADV!!! I picked one up at the end of July!!! Enjoy! Ride Safe!!

[@johnyracercat]

What was the OTD price? I'm trying to locate one now.

[@John-rw2zf]

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.

[@bobguy4212]

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.

[@GasWorksISO]

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.

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

[@59jalex]

I agree that the handlebars look crooked. What was your final thought after getting used to the bike?

[@randykestner3870]

I agree handle bars was a little off and it was also nice to see someone break in their stuff like I do

[@stevebeschakis9775]

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.

[@telcobilly]

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?

[@jeffer1101]

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.

[@phockley8]

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!

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!

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 ..

[@davidklementis5913]

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!

[@CurtisDrew1]

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.

[@japaneserequired6314]

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.

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.

[@jutjub22]

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..

[@brianrichard1768]

If you are taller the forza has more room. It's still pretty nimble in town but can also do highway without issue.

[@ExpatsOn2Wheels]

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.
