Honda has launched the ADV160, India's first adventure scooter capable of running on E85 flex-fuel. Priced from Rs 1.70 lakh, the 156.9cc single-cylinder engine makes 16.3 horsepower and can run on ethanol blends of up to 85 percent. Bookings are open for Rs 5,000, with deliveries expected from mid-October.

So, does it have a helmet-in space? That's always my first question, and with 27 liters of under-seat storage, a full-face helmet should fit with room to spare. The E85 compatibility is a genuinely Asian-roads kind of idea. Being able to run on ethanol blends up to 85 percent gives real peace of mind in markets where fuel supply shifts around. I like this kind of practical evolution.

I love the look of these adventure-style scooters.

16hp from 156cc is pretty average — the E85 support is the real selling point.

Up to 85% ethanol blend — depends a lot on local fuel infrastructure though.

Only 5000 rupees to book — easy to reserve on a whim.

Delivery in October should line up nicely after monsoon season.

An E85-flex scooter — very on-brand for the Indian market.
