The Honda's will last forever. The ADV150 looks nice (if you can stomach the premium pricing dealers are charging for the ADV due to demand), but its not something I would go for, the "off-road" aesthetics are pretentious at most, its not like you would go anywhere far from the occasional gravel road with those small tyres. Its a sacrifice in weight and seat height that I think would be better served with the more "uncle" PCX. Btw, is the PCX160 here yet?

What i do want to see Honda do is actually bring in, is the SH150, a scoot with 17" wheels.


That said, But Im partial to the NVX ABS, mainly due to the more exciting power delivery. (i have one in Vietnam, where hondas are priced to something ridiculous). However if you have a longer commute or need more weather protection, you might want to look for a scoot with a more substantial fairing and windshield. Speeds hardly go more than 60 in vietnam, so a windshield is pointless.


Please do yourself a favour and get a bike with at least front ABS.

Unfortunately the SH is priced at a different rung, meant to compete with the Vespa Primavera. But the 17 wheels are a godsend. Its a good scoot that has been in the vietnam market for a long time. Shares it chassis with the bigger SH300, , which is great because in 300 guise, its actually smaller and more compact than the maxi 250/300 class scoots we have here.

if honda brings in the SH150/300, I would get one to replace my Dominar 400 commuter.


and btw, the NVX and PCX uses a standard sized 14/14 wheel. The ADV uses a 14F/13R wheel, perhaps a challenge to find replacement tyres as a set

if big storage is what TS is looking for then unfortunately, only the Maxi scooters will have it. The Forza has an absolutely HUGE storage. The 150 are usually very tight, especially those with the fuel tank is under the seat.

You could look at the PCX150 if you want bigger underseat storage. Regardless, scooter storage is vast compared to our big bikes....


Seriously, you can't go wrong with the PCX as long as that "uncle" look suits your style. You could very easily fit a big aftermarket windshield and good weather protection is a big plus for faster rides or bad weather. New updated PCX160 is coming soon, which will undoubtedly also come with the much important ABS this time around.
