After renting many different motor bikes over the years in South East Asia I think I found the perfect every day commuter. The 14.9 horse power Honda ADV 150 is so good I would be happy to own this over my CBR1000RR. That sounds crazy I know, but this ADV 150 is so darn practical and fun as an every day commuter. Plus it's only $4,300 to purchase new. To rent one in Thailand for a month as of Dec. 2021 the cost is less than $6.00/day
The light and nimble ADV handles bad road conditions unlike any other scooter (MotorBike) I've been on. Weighing 294 lbs. full of fuel, the 149cc single cylinder little power plant has no problem blasting through city traffic. The top speed is governed at 115 km/h, which I hit many times on the highway. Traveling across country, this little Honda may be too light duty but for city and urban travel it's perfect.
I ride fast every where I go and could never get the average mile per gallon below 40. I had to fuel up every 2-3 weeks. For comparison, I had to fuel up the Honda X ADV 750 every 3 days riding the same distance everyday.
Plenty of storage, phone charger, comfortable seat, adjustable windscreen, good brakes, well placed mirrors, and is very comfortable hauling a passenger long distance makes this a must test ride.
Wether you're a world traveler looking for a great motorbike to rent or an average fella looking for a fun and practical every day commuter, you will not be disappointed with this Honda ADV 150.
