Sound and Style Revamp: HONDA ADV150 Custom

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA ADV150" custom by Webike community user "Okeo". The bike was purchased for the owner's son to use for commuting. While considering a scooter due to the need to wear leather shoes for school, his son was drawn to the ADV150, which also seemed suitable for camping tours, and eventually decided to buy it. Though it's his son's bike, the owner—whose passion lies in motorcycles—is fully committed to customizing it. From the choice of Brembo brakes to Ohlins suspension, it's clear just how serious he is about this project.

While the ADV150 is a scooter, it has a strong appeal for hobbyists. To match that spirit, the owner upgraded the overly quiet stock exhaust to a YOSHIMURA GP-MAGNUM Cyclone Full Exhaust System. The result is a pleasant engine thrum while riding, with a deep bass that makes the ride more enjoyable. Despite its affordable price, the quality of the exhaust is excellent and truly satisfies the sense of ownership.

One modification the owner considers essential for the ADV150 is the Magical Racing Visor Windshield. Compared to the stock windshield, the Magical Racing version gives the bike a much sleeker look and significantly enhances its custom appearance. When riding, the wraparound windshield boosts the cockpit-like feeling, greatly increasing the sense of satisfaction. The only downside is that it can be easily removed, making it a potential target for theft.

Additionally, the flimsy plastic rear fender was replaced with a Magical Racing Rear Fender. It may be pricey, but the improvement in quality is remarkable. The levers were switched to pink U-KANAYA levers, adding a playful touch that lifts the son's mood every time he rides.

The next customization planned is a big bore upgrade. They are eagerly awaiting the release of a big bore kit from a domestic manufacturer. For the son, this ADV150 will surely become a deeply meaningful bike, as it is the first one he customized together with his father.
