Just a colour update for the 2024 Honda ADV160 adventure scooter in Malaysia, with pricing remaining the same at RM12,999. Pricing excludes road tax, insurance and registration and the new colour option is Force Silver, in addition to the current colour choices of Mat Charcoal Grey Metallic and Vivacity Red and stocks are available in all Boon Siew Honda Malaysia dealers from this week.

The ADV160 gets Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), otherwise known as traction control. The rider can switch traction control on and off according to preference and to suit terrain conditions.
Seat height is set at 780 mm with weight listed at 133 kg, with 8.1-litres of fuel in the tank. Under the seat, a 30-litre storage compartment can carry a helmet and other riding essentials.

Mr.Mohan, any insights of a 250cc variant in the near future?
Yes, there is the Honda ADV350. As to when it might make an appearance here is unknown. Two factors going against it, cost if CBU and Malaysian motorcycle licence class.
Mohan,
Always appreciate your bike posts.
I just got my B-Full license mid of this year. It was a long time coming, waited & went for the test all proper. It took a while.
With the Government eventually ‘approving’ a free ‘upgrade’ from B2 to B-Full, there will be lots of bikers going for the larger CC bikes.
Really don’t know what to say to that.
