Why we settled on the Yamaha XMAX bikes instead of the Honda ADV

[Andrew& Victoria]

The Honda ADV150 is a 150cc bike, costing about $6500 after everything is said and done.

The Yamaha XMAX is 292ccs..

Honda is the better bike overall than Yamaha..
But the difference is so minimal, because they make the same things, and they are at the same level of quality..

The Honda ADV150 would only be the better bike, if it were 292ccs.

The Yamaha XMAX in this case is the better bike than the Honda ADV, because it has roughly the same build quality, and the XMax has the much more powerful engine, nearly twice that of the Honda ADV..

With a difference in reputation that small and the Yamaha offering the powerful bike, for nearly the same price...

The Honda ADV 150, is a rip off..
Unless you care a lot about fuel mileage, which even in the much more powerful Yamaha bike, is still a great deal compared to motorcycles and cars.

So we took the Yamaha.


If it were a choice between a Chinese Linhai 150cc bike or a 400cc bike, for $1800 and the Honda 150cc bike for 6,500
No comparison, get the Honda..
But this simply isn't the case.

Wouldn't know about those models. My two bikes were a Vulcan 900 Classic LT, and a Concours 14. Loved both of them.

Did you take your gun with you when you went to buy your motorcycle?

That makes sense, the bikes were good value. They look cool too!
