Honda's lightweight scooter, the new ADV160, has sold out at dealers across Japan, underscoring its strong popularity. Priced at 539,000 yen, it runs a 156cc water-cooled single making 12kW and 15Nm of torque and weighs 137kg. The flagship Matt Pearl Agile Blue color isn't expected back in stock until October or later, with demand concentrated among riders in their 20s and 30s.

'So, is there under-seat storage?' — that's the first thing I ask about any scooter, and the ADV160 delivers. 12kW and 15Nm out of a 156cc single is more than enough grunt for this class, so stores selling out makes total sense. Matt Pearl Agile Blue not restocking until October just proves how in-demand it is. Thinking about how it'd play on Asian streets, that tough look works great for daily riding too.

Waiting until October for stock — does that mean it's too late to order now?

At 137kg it should still be easy to handle loaded up — good touring potential.

12kW, 15Nm, 137kg — those numbers aren't bad at all for this class.

Waiting on that Matte Pearl Agile Blue — totally get it, I want one too.

539,000 yen and sold out instantly — feels about right for lightweight scooter prices these days.

Calling that fair? For a 125-160cc class scooter that's still pretty pricey.
