thequietman Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) The ADV has come down in price finally to 79000 baht, however, I have the Click 150i and am fairly happy with it. I might upgrade if someone can justify the extra 20000 baht. Does anyone have one or have experience of driving one? As usual, the Honda dealership don't have one for a test drive! ???? Many thanks in advance for any input. ???? Edited January 6, 2020 by thequietman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx123 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Yes, IMO, the ABS brakes, windscreen, added curb weight and the non-step through design is more than enough to justify the 20k difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did this thread turned into bike bashing? ???? LOL We all know they are using the same engine but OP is asking if the 20k difference is enough reason to buy the ADV150. I just answered his question. Geez, people get offended by others opinion about a certain scooter that they feel it's a big deal to retaliate and bash another cheap scooter? Laughable ???? On topic: The ABS alone is enough reason to upgrade. But is the ADV really priced at 79,000 baht currently? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben2talk Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Wow, a lot of strange comments. I've a PCX - and coming from superbikes I'd say the biggest issue (once you get used to the 'no power' issue) is that the smaller wheels give a pretty nasty ride. It was definitely a shock that it gets 300km off a 180 baht fill up though... I'd say the PCX gives a better ride (less twitchy and more stable) than a Click - but the Click would do fine for local soi/canal trips... but you already said you're fairly happy with the Click. These are scooters, and 'fairly happy' I'd say is about as good as it gets. The only 'upgrade' IMO would be to go for a bike, something like a CBR150 that gives you the proper wheels, but goes back to limiting shoes options and general friendliness. Definitely much better and safer to ride though... The ADV is basically a PCX, but the tyres have gone from 110/80-14 and 130/70-13 to 110/80-14 and 120/70-14... so hardly a difference. I think the ADV is more of a style statement (more aggressive/stubby/blocky design than the sleeker PCX) already made by the Yamaha NMax - which would probably have been better value for money, though I never got chance to ride one.

The jury is still out on whether ABS is much use on a scooter - unless you're not comfortable riding... the only time ABS would have helped me was when I hit the back end of a Civic on my GSX-R about 15 years ago, that would have cost me 15k in damages if I'd been stupid enough to pay - so it certainly wouldn't have saved me money. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well appart from the longer travel / stiffer front forks, the rear showa gas shocks (both which soak up the lumps and bumps better than a pcx / aerox / n max etc can, by a country mile), the more commanding riding position/ wide fat bars ( which make it surprisingly "flickable), adjustable screen, 80/20 road/off road tyres (that make it better down a say a dirt track or poor road service than a pcx / aerox / n max etc, would ), rear disc brake and ABS - They're basically identical.... . 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnock Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I went to the launch of the ADV 150 was all ready to buy one - ABS, slightly higher than a PCX, proper handlebars and a place to clamp a gps or phone, LED lights, adjustable screen, massive dealer network - what's not to like. On the launch stage with a young lady in tight black leathers it looked good too. But now I've seen a few on the road, it looks a lot like a Click 150, and I have to look closely to tell it apart. Now thinking a Wave 125i may be better - as it has bigger wheels, motorbike design, brakes in the right place and they are super robust and reliable, plus almost half the price. Just no ABS. ???? And on rough tracks or poor roads I think a Wave will be more capable? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
