Aaron Danielle Villamarin known as ADV among his peers and colleagues got a message from his friend about the Honda ADV 150. His buddy said that this motorcycle unit is perfect for him because it is “ADV” and at the same time, ADVenture is in his blood.
Being an Aircraft Engineer and working in Singapore, pre-pandemic, ADV is already a staple to road adventures add to that that this proud alumnus from Don Bosco Makati who hails in Barangay Pio del Pilar is part of the popular ballers in this side of Makati.
The Honda ADV 150 is the perfect unit for Aaron. Like the said unit, he is also “sleek” and has a strong appeal to the general public. Add to that the features that make it fit his personality.
Transferring to Honda ADV 150 is like a piece of cake since ADV is all too familiar with Honda motorcycles as his former unit is a Honda XRM. From a semi-automatic unit to fully automatic, easy-to-ride, and convenience are just one of the things that made Aaron an instant fan of the popular Honda ADV 150.
ADV’s review of the unit during the first few months left him in awe. The auto clutch take-up is seamless, the engine is smooth and quiet while the stoppers on both ends feel up to the task. Mechanically it’s Honda through and through and feels bulletproof and well sorted. In traffic, it’s able to hold its own against most cars from the front of the lights. Pumping out 14 horsepower and with a suspension that is “Makati/Manila” ready.
Since he uses his Honda ADV 150 for his various activities, most of the time, he also has back riders experiencing the smoothness and awesome feel of this Honda beauty. When it comes to work and play, Honda ADV 150 will not fail you. The spacious compartment lets Aaron put his stuff from bags and extra shirts and basketball shoes. This is very important for Aaron as he is one of the most popular ballers in Makati that is why on any given day, pre-pandemic, he has multiple games to attend where he usually displays his shooting prowess.
Around town and on shorter jaunts it’s in its element – and certainly the slightly bigger than average-sized wheels (for a scooter), help navigate rougher urban roads and potholes that is usually present in Makati and nearby cities such as Manila, Pasay. For longer trips, it’s also a good experience mainly because of its smooth ride and it is fuel-efficient. Aaron mentioned that his trusty Honda ADV 150 is consuming a surprisingly efficient, 28-32 KM per liter. This writer had to ask Aaron his answer regarding fuel efficiency and he maintained his answer and added that his last gas up was last month.
Much has been said about Honda ADV 150 and for those who are thinking of getting their first or second motorcycle unit, Honda ADV 150 might be the perfect fit for you regardless of your name’s abbreviation. With its sleek design and features, this will definitely put your game a cut above the reset.
