34 mile road trip ! I used to do more than that on my 50cc when I was 16 !

[@lutzphilippines618]

Same did I: 500 km on a 50ccm two-stroke bike, one-day trip without companion, mostly orinary German roads, not plain highway without any curves.

[@jafajustanotherfrustrateda8935]

Yea I did more than that every day commute for a year on a Yamaha SMax 155. It would also do 80 mph so no highway trouble.

Exactly. Day 1 on my Honda C50 back in 1983 I went to Oxford (UK), rode around and came home after 140 miles :)))). Nice kids, but "road trip?"

[@isaactheluthier2593]

I enjoy the journey much more than getting there fast. My PCX150 (Brother to the ADV150) has done over 6000 miles in the past year and I’ve loved every second of it! I semi often put over 100 miles on it in a single day, and never get bored or feel the need to go on the highway. Highways are boring.

[@rickybobbydastar6534]

It seemed like the ADV did well on the highway

[@ReptilesBlade]

Hello fellow brother! I bought my 2016 PCX 150 brand new and it's now got 9,500 miles on it. Planning at least one across state trip next year. There's a reason that over in Europe they're called the "Queens of the city". God I love my machine and I'm never getting rid of it!

[@kens97sto171]

Fun video.. small bikes are a lot of fun. Though less so on the high speed roads in the USA, I'd take the super Cub.. probably more reliable long term. Take a look at the old original super Cubs. They're practically indestructible. The CVT and the other scooter will self-destruct at some point or require maintenance. 17 mi each way is not a road trip. KZbin channel c90Adventures. The guy wrote a '80s Honda Cub 14,500 mi across Europe. He did another adventure ride 4500 miles up north to the Arctic circle in winter. He's currently on a cross Continental tour he went from the Arctic sea at the end of The Dalton highway in Alaska and is riding to the southern tip of South America 22,000 miles trip. If you're driving across long distances in second and third world countries what bike do you think you're going to find parts for in the small village? it's going to be the Honda Cub.

30 mile round trip? I ride 80-100 miles on a scooter all the time. There are scooters and super cubs riding around the world. Of course you can adventure on a scooter.

[@Agentdude]

For real! I did around 800 miles touring Vietnam on a Honda Blade 110. Carbed, mechanical drums, about as simple as bikes get, climbing up crazy passes and doing extremely rough roads. Context is important, though. Road speeds are generally much lower, and the vast majority of Vietnamese are riding around on similar bikes. Long story short, don't estimate small bikes! They are as capable as you are brave.

[@boedude8496]

i got my pcx150 (mostly the same as the adv) in april of 2020 to be my daily commuter, which is a 35 mile round trip. but very soon after riding it i chanced a longer trip, 300 mile rt to san francisco. most was on back roads but had to go about 50 miles on major highways. it will do about 70 but the draft winds are crazy and the mpg goes way down. was a great trip overall. i just went over 18k miles. but waiting on the rebel 1100 to do more of that though

[@rickybobbydastar6534]

So it’s capable of Hwy driving just not too far ? I know it’s not a ninja lol but 65 on the Hwy seems cool just stay in the slow lanes , since ppl do 90-115 on the Hwy

[@kayrokk]

I cross shopped the two and decided on the Super Cub since you can shift gears on it. A good windshield and a good tail box will pretty much even it out.

I had a honda 360 I used to ride even in to winter. If you went 60 mph with it for very far when you would get off you would still feel the vibrations for a while. Looked like fun.

[@JonJobs]

2 years later I have a request guys! I believe the new Yamaha Xmax and the Piaggio BV 400 are probably the best maxi scooters you can get in the states. I, and I'm sure many scooter enthusiasts, would LOOOOOOVE a comparison video. I think you might find yourselves pleasantly surprised if you haven't driven them. As far as I know no one has done a comparison on them yet. I think you guys would kill it. Hope to see it, if not keep up the great work guys!

[@geraldscott4302]

The Xmax is downright UGLY, both its body design and the fact that it is nearly 100% flat black. In bright red or blue or silver it would look 100 times better. I don't know about the BV400, But I have ridden the BV350, and was quite impressed with it. I ride a 2006 Vespa GT200, which currently has 14,000+ miles on it. It's a light metallic mint green, with lots of chrome aluminum trim, and silver painted wheels. It has the matching Vespa top box. It will hit 80 mph GPS, and climbs hills just fine, even with my 240 pounds on it. It is also carbureted, and does not have ABS, two things I really appreciate. I would prefer it over any new computer scooter.

[@noisepuppet]

Very useful video. Have done this sort of thing on a 125 scooter and I made it but it was not the tool for the job.

You need to ride more...I regularly ride my PCX 150 75-100 miles! I've gone on many shopping trips and simply rides in the country. I've even had 100 mile days on my Roughhouse 50cc scooter. I do however avoid highways and cars as often as possible. Don't even like riding on highways on my Suzuki Burgman 650 or Victory Cross Country Tour.

Back in the 70’s, my first two bikes was a 1971 Rupp Roadster 2 and a 1973 Honda CL125S. The Rupp was a mini bike with a CVT it technically had a 172cc lawn mower type engine but couldn’t keep up with my friends Honda CT 70. But it was fun to ride. My Honda CL 125 was my 1st street bike after I got my Motorcycle license and rode it in the highway sometimes but remember the speed limit was 55. Also rode it off road. Top speed was around 60. Can’t remember what the Rupp top speed was but wouldn’t take it on the highway for sure.

[@josephbingham1255]

When I was in College I drove a Honda 150 CA 95 Benley from Burbank, Ca. up Hyw. 395 to Oregon then back down the California coast. While at Lake Tahoe there were two girls on Honda 50cc Cubs that had driven from Saskatchewan, Canada. Of course I doubt they took the freeways :) Thank you for the interesting video trip.

My first motorcycle was a C-110 Super Cub. 50cc. I won't boar you with the reason why, but my next was a Triumph Bonneville. I will never ride something underpowered for the needs of the road or traffic. At the time I the Honda, my dream bike was a CB160. That could hold an honest 65mph. Try a Suzuki Burgman Executive. I had one. Fantastic machine.

[@o00scorpion00o]

Thanks, an entertaining video, even more so since I signed up to youtube premium ! no ads, you really can't underestimate the wonderfulness of no ads !!! 🙂 That supercub is just gorgeous ! I saw a C90 here in Ireland at a local vintage rally last weekend and it was really amazing, I'd love both the C90 and 125. The 125 maybe not so fast but in reality we'd all be better off if we slowed down. I am waiting for my learner permit to arrive, it's An A license here which means I can only pass my test with a 500 cc bile or more which is a shame because I think the 125 Super Cub would be better for me who has never been on a motorcycle before.

People have been using the Honda Supercub and its variants like the Honda Biz and Honda Wave to cross continents. They are way more than just a scooter, they can take anything you throw at them. This wasn’t a real “road trip” in my humble opinion.

[@seanpalmer2050]

I have owned a PCX since I bought it new in 2015. I routinely rode it on camping trips with a tent under the seat in the Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia area. Did Skyline Drive, Gettysburg, Harpers Ferry a lot. My wife can ride onthe back too with really no influence on power. The key was to set the GPS TO avoid highways. Scenic old two lane roads and urban stuff was fine. I can getup to 67 and hold it but its a lot more comfortable cruising around 55 to 60. Kind of a sweet spot. I've ridden the ADV and its even a bit more capable as an update of the same bike. The Trail is amazing at what its named for...trails. You'd have an amazing time on these machines if you rode them in that way. A commute of that length would be nothing on a PCX / ADV if you chose the appropriate route.
