ADV160, just a better bike in all respects.

Back roads and the city. I am 1.85 and 90 kg. No pillion. I currently own a Mk1 Aerox. Great engine, dreadful suspension.

Upgrade your suspension?

I had thought of that. Aftermarket mods don't add to the value, though, and I didn't say that I hate the riding position. I'm forever having to push myself back in the seat. Is the ADV160 more comfortable in this respect?

A small scoot will be a small scoot, so you just have to try. You are 185 cm, so any scooter will feel tight. I agree, the aerox felt to tight for me at 179, so I bought a pcx instead, but that is 9 years ago. I moved on to Crf and bigger bikes since then. 

 

How about buying a ktm 390 adventure? Seat height 83cm might be better for you

The adv160 is a little more comfortable in that regard, though the seats can be modified to more of a saddle on any scooter. Everyone has different preferences and comfort levels for different bikes, is why the decision factor for each individual should be made solely by them and not influenced by others. Too often see folks cumbersomely riding bikes that don’t fit or out of their realistic comfort zone. There are plenty of rental shops in cm where one can try for a few days before buying.

Me too on both counts!  Horrible suspension and every time I come to stop I have to push myself back on the seat.  Other than that, it is a great bike.  Did the Northern loop on a brand new one I rented and loved it.

It's stylish apart from the handlebars. The engine is superb. Everything else about it is poor. I have done 32,000 km on it, though.

Totally different bikes. 

 

Are you considering Aerox over ADV160, DON'T. 

 

BTW, your name XB12X, I once owned a XB12s.

I already have an Aerox. I have a Ulysses in another country.

Oh, sorry I thought you were deciding which one to buy. 

 

My Buell, XB12s was a great bike, just a tad small for me, I'm 6'2".

I sold it bought a Diavel.
