Common questions
Do I need a motorcycle license to ride the ADV160 in Virginia?
Yes. The ADV160 is well above the moped limit, so you need a Class M endorsement on your driver’s license. We can point you toward rider training before you buy.
Is the ADV160 good for commuting?
That’s what it’s built for. Easy handling, ABS and plenty of storage make it a practical daily rider for Richmond traffic and a comfortable weekend explorer.
