13k.
Seen it. Looks nice but closer inspection the materials are not as high quality as Honda.  From spec also not impressive. Price is cheap though.
Honda impian is flagship dealer. Can only sell Honda motor. Got for 13k. But got 10 people queue. Maybe next 2 months.

I saw many honda Impian shop in Johor have stock of ADV150. Look around more perhaps?

Too far from Kelantan. If there is stock and with shipping more expensive that what is offered here, then no point also.

Yes. KB only 1.

Another problem is there are lots of people requiring motorcycle since that is the most common mode of transport. Imagine NMAX, NVX out of stock. Only Wmoto and Y15. Modenas low cc models. I don't mind waiting, not paying premium price

Thanks all for the suggestions. I finally settled on a used Honda Adv 150. Sellers house is like 6 km from my house. 1 year old 3.6k km mileage, Rm 10.6k. All accessories included. My rm100 deposit for new adv burned.

I really like buying used. No need to babysit engine and get discount and free accessories.

Good choice.

From experience, best to service the CVT every 3-4000km.

Handles really well for noobs like me.

Big fuel tank and very efficient brakes.

Sounds like a very good deal. I myself have a Honda PCX150 which shared many engine parts (and the same keyless) with your ADV150, mine is 4 years old now and already clocked 44,xxx km and still running like new.

You should claim back the deposit, the shop should only forfeit it if they have a stock ready for you, IMHO.

The resit stated that non refundable deposit. The shop also mentioned when I wanted to book that the deposit was non refundable. I guess they know how to make money since motorcycle will deliver late. Also, they mentioned the that if there is a price hike, it will be passed to the customer. 12.8k was the stated price, but may change later. All other places, deposit is refundable.

I see this dealer as malice. 1. Non refundable deposit. 2.can hike price at will later especially if the customer is desperate. I'd rather stick it to them by buying used.

On a more general note, motorcycle dealers are free to do what they want. Not abiding to RRP like cars and can take all makes. A popular model like nmax, nvx, adv can put high mark up.

Hi,

I've used the Honda Future since 2013. Bought the <a href='https://<link removed>/2012/07/27/boon-siew-introduces-the-new-125cc-honda-future/' target='_blank'>high spec.</a> front and rear brake disc. Nothing wrong with the motorcycle but my uncle wants to buy it. Only got about 9.4k km on ODO meter. I did put a RM5k selling price if he wants it. Hopefully he does not want it since I don't see the need to sell the motorcycle yet. If he does commit to it, thinking of replacing with a scooter as scooter has covered footwell. Go in puddles, foot still dry and usually scooter has big boot.

Usage has not changed since my previous motorcycle. Criteria:
1. Weekend/weekday use around house. Mostly to buy groceries. Sometimes bawa kids around Kg area.  9 years in and I only used like 9.4k km. So 1k+ km/year.
2. Easy to service/maintain.
3. Similar size to the Honda Future and has a big storage boot. I use the Honda future boot to put it lots of items bought at store. Also easy to park and ciluk in traffic jams.
4. 250cc and below. I have B2 license. Also don't want wet clutch or clutch motorcycle.
5. I don't plan to modify the scooter since I don't use it for daily commute. I also don't mind used since my low KM usage.
6. Price <RM20k.

Suggestions?

I don't mind to pay for price hike if they can proof me distributor increased the price.Motorcycle market like a hooligan market place. Motorcycle suka suka mark up the selling price themselves. Ee Tiong even offered me RM16k for Adv150. That's the highest ever quote I received.
