Pretty fancy rear shocks. What is it?

Is that Honda's off-road PCX?
Curious to see if valves will still be a nightmare....surely not?
CORRECT Honda color!!
Pricey 150!!

Looks like the Honda ADV 150
There are a few over on the ADV Rider forum. Nice small scooter with a step over. Looks bigger than it really is.

Congratulations on your purchase. As a fellow owner I'm going to predict you will love your ADV 150. In addition to the good looks and nimble driving, 90 mpg is a nice bonus in today's world!

It is a Honda ADV150 which is basically a PCX with more suspension and different bodywork.



It has a digital dash with a lot of info.  It shows MPG as well as calculating average MPG since the tripmeter was reset.  I don't know how accurate it is but so far it is showing 105MPG.  I'll see how accurate it is when I fill it up.

Very nice looking bike!

I don't like to use the word "scooter" personally......

My first fillup after 166 miles took 1.67 gallons so that's better than 99 MPG but not quite 100.  I added a top box to make it a better grocery hauler.  I took a pic this morning in front of a bunch of rockets on Redstone Arsenal.



I rode past a couple of radar speed signs at 38 and 45 MPH.  The speedometer matched the signs exactly.

Well now....my Forza had happy feet, until I had to fit a slightly oversized tire on it. Then it was spot-on.
