I recently had a talk with a guy who owns a Honda ADV 150, near the spot where I took that picture of the red Honda CG 125i and the black CG 160, and he was absolutely satisfied with that scooter.

They are very good for urban & suburban commuting (especially with the CVT and no hand clutch), but they don't have enough power for rural 2 lane highways
Scooters are not so often as rev-happy as a more standard motorcycle, and the gearing is also more strictly optimized for inner-city traffic. Most of the times I would only recommend a scooter above 200cc to be used as an all-around commuter if highway stretches are required.
