Thanks to the latest displacement bump, the 2024 Honda ADV160 is finally making it’s way to the US. 

The slight bump in displacement from 149.3cc to the latest 156.9cc makes the new generation ADV 160 highway-legal in large part of the states where it wasn’t before. 

Similar to the one available in Malaysia, the ADV 160 features the same 156.9c liquid-cooled 4-stroke, single-cylinder engine that makes 15.8hp and 14.7Nm. Power is delivered by CVT transmission with final belt drive. 

The ADV160 is suspended by Showa suspension with 31mm telescopic front fork and twin shocks at the rear. Brake consist of a single calliper up front paired to a single 240mm disc. However, while the Malaysian market gets a hydraulic single disc at the rear, the US model is equipped with a more conventional drum brake. 

Nonetheless, the US-spec stil features 14-inch wheels at the front and 13-inch at the rear.

Other important update includes Honda Selectable Torque Control, 30L storage space, taller adjustable windscreen and restyled bodywork which include a wider leg shields. The ADV160 also gets a new digital LCD meter. 

According to reports, the 2024 Honda ADV160 will be available in the US sometime in July. 

The Aprilia SR GT 200 first caught our attention after making its global debut at EICMA, last year.

Aprilia introduced two variants, the SR GT 125 and 200, with the latter being launched in the Japanese market, recently.

Following a similar design concept as the Honda ADV 150, the SR GT 200 features the same rugged and aggresive design.

Appropriately labelled as an ‘urban adventure scooter’, the SR GT 200 comes with a wider handlebar, long-travel suspension and knobby tyres.

Aprilia also fitted the SR GT 200 with the firm signature tri-LED headlights with DRL functionality at the front.

The SR GT 200 also features ADV elements which include a smoked windscreen heavily faired front panel and a slightly forward-set footpegs.

Other exciting features include:

  • full digital LCD instrument cluster
  • auto engine start/stop
  • 9L fuel tank
  • Showa 33mm telescopic fork
  • Showa rear twin shock
  • 260mm front petal disc
  • 220mm rear petal disc

Powering the SR GT 200 is a 174cc single-cylinder engine that pumps out 17.43hp @ 8,500rpm and 16.5Nm @ 7,000rpm.

The SR GT 200 is available in Japan for JPY550,00 (RM20k).

Could we see the SR GT range make its way to Malaysia anytime soon?
