Wa kaka~ I am so enjoying my 小红 loh

 

Ytd evening riding home in da rain w/o raincoat invites many eye of other wet rider~ Just so glad my $ is justified

 

The ride for my 小红 is smooth, slow & calm. It gets bored sometimes cos i ain't got audio installed

 

Fuel consumption is...

 

Pump 6.5 liters - Runs about 125~130km (Based on reset millage meter)

 

High or low? I guess moderate bah? I pump 6.5 when my reserve lights up. Once i pump 7.1 liters and overfill. So now, everytime pump keep staring at the meter. lolz

Not like other bike which u can see the petrol filling to the rim.

Dear fellow members, I had never rode an Adiva before and I am quite interested in it due to the protection from rain haa~ anyway, jus wanna ask how fast can it goes? I don't require a very fast bike but I am not sure if I can stand if the bike cant goes at an average speed of 90-100.. Anyway, how big is the boot space... can it fits 2 helmets n 1 briefcase? n is it auto or manual bike? Thanks for your help ppl~

[seetch]

The Adiva 150 has a top speed of about 105km/hr so a comfortable cruising speed is about 80km/hr. The boot can fit two helmets but not the briefcase. Depending on the size of the briefcase, it might fit one helmet and a briefcase. Hope this helps.

[LeoNz_hK]

Thanks Man~ U r a great help~ hmm kind of sad coz cant put in my briefcase together.. the boot u mean is the place where u can put back the shelter is it?

Yep, the boot is also where you store the roof if you don't intend to use it. Alternatively you can get the new 250 Adiva, this one sure can store your briefcase and helmet cos it has one more helmet bay under the seat. Costly though... S$13.8k was what Mah Motors quoted me.

[Ahgogo24]

Hi SlowlY RiDeR, thanks for your advice, already went there b4, they don't keep this bike spare parts.

Hi all fellow adiva riders, I will like to share some thoughts here. Like me, I'm sure most of you out there have grown to love your adivas for its weather protection in spite of its initial high cost of ownership. The protection from the sudden downpour on the expressways are absolutely priceless!

It is therefore a great excitement when I learnt that adiva is launching the 250cc version mid of 2006. My correspondence with them then indicate that they have already exported a unit to Singapore's distributor Mah Motors. True indeed when I finally saw it in Mah's showroom on the second level window a month later. Enquires with their sales confirm that they are bringing it in! "....going for LTA inspection...." is the reply I get then.

Two months later, "......LTA have not approve......", a couple of months later, " ......LTA very slow......" however my sources checked and I confirmed that they never even sent it to LTA for approval! They were jus sitting on it....

Granted that they may think that the market for adivas may not be very big and is not willing to commit they resources and time to market and sell this niche market scooter, but as potential customers i will think that we have all the rights to to tell them if they think its not making money, don't be the distributor. Give the opportunity to others so that we can benefit!

My unfortunate experience unfortunately does not end there. Sometime during the mid of this year 2007, LTA finally gave their approval! And the fact that I have to find that out when I happen to go to their office to pay my insurance and road tax! They simply do not bother to market this beautiful scooter.

Yes the adiva is costly for the same cc range but look at piaggio mp3, I will think that there are a dozen or so OTR now cos I often see them. Their price range is comparable to the adiva so why the difference?

The ONLY unit of adiva 250 on sale sadly does not come with the side wind/ rain deflector. It exists. Just not available on the ONLY unit on sale. And according to Mah, they do not intent to bring in another unit! When I press them for a confirmation on the availability of the side deflectors, they were hesitant and did not want to commit. I was even willing to commit on the purchase if they are willing to commit on the side deflector, a deal which they don't seem to be interested.

So it seems that the only way I was to get my hands on the deflector was to get it straight from the source, Italy. I emailed them asking if there are other distributors in the region willing to do business with me so that I am assured that I will get my deflectors before my COE runs out on the new adiva 250 that I will be purchasing. Italy replied that they have forward my "request" to the local distributor Mah Motors and they are sure that there must be some misunderstanding between us.

That was 3 weeks ago and I have yet to hear from Mah!

I want to do a poll of some sort to unite adiva riders in Singapore, I love this bike and still wish to get it. Therefore I post the following questions:

1. Am I the first person to complain to Adiva Italy? Anyone out there have done the same? Please share your experiences

2. How many will be willing to petition to Italy to change their agent here?

3. Assuming I can get a agent to parallel import for us, how many out there are willing to commit on a unit?

Hi Guys,

I just got a new model. Is bigger, more powerful, more storage...Think we shall try to set up a club for Adiva...Is very unique bike.

[roy_yang]

Hi Tub Tub,

 

I have the same problem now. I just got my AD 250 last week, asked Mah about the side deflector, replied kana the same as you. I am trying to get in from Japan. We can order in bulk so it might be cheaper. What says you?

[tubtub]

Hi Roy,

So you bought the Black one? How much did you pay for it may i ask? I will like to join you in the MO for the deflector but what's the point of having the deflector if you do not have the bike?

I actually wanted the black one but Mah told me its not for sale! Now I see the blue one in the window replacing the black one! What crap from Mah!

I totally agree you on the merits of the adiva and that is why I was comtemplating on getting it. However, I'm feld up about being held for ransome by motorshops. Adiva is a niche market scooter and we pay good money for it, so I don't see any reason why we should be treated as such.

Mah has indicated to me that they have actually no plans to bring in any more adiva 250! Which is why even though I do not fancy the blue one, I am still considering it. They even told me that they will NOT be registering it and the blue one will be the only one!

Anyone has contacts in Japan or speaks Japanese? I'm willing to import from Japan, even though I may be the only one and with the possibility of paying a slightly higher price!

Who knows , maybe we will established a good enough relationship with the importer there to be our supplier of parts and make it a part of a service to our Adiva Club. Maybe we can call our club AdivaC?

Hi TubTub,

 

I sent an e-mail to Japan's dealer but have yet hear from them. I paid about $13K for the AD250, guess is a little too expensive, but i really kind of attracted to the design of the bike. Yes, maybe we can start a Adiva Club...why not?
