Click or ADV: which belongs on your shortlist?
Start with the Click 160 if you prefer the sporty, simpler look of a city scooter. Keep the ADV 160 on your shortlist if its windscreen and adventure-inspired bodywork appeal to you. Both versions in this comparison are automatic and are advertised with ABS, so those two features alone do not settle the choice.
One clear difference in the supplier’s information is tank capacity: 6 litres for the Click and 8 litres for the ADV. Your final decision should also account for the riding position and the cost of the particular scooter you plan to buy. This guide looks at both from the perspective of everyday use in Iran.
Two Honda versions for Iran—not replica scooters
We are comparing the Honda CLICK 160 ABS and Honda ADV 160 ABS presented by Hamtaz Motor for the Iranian market. A variant is a version of a model with a particular set of equipment. The Click CBS, Click 150 and Click-style replicas are outside this comparison. Hamtaz ADV and Hani ADV are separate models, too; their specifications should not be attributed to the Honda ADV.
The sources do not identify the exact model years of the scooters described. Check the full model name, variant and year against the documents of the vehicle you are considering. A different import version or a replica needs its own comparison.
Sporty city styling or an adventure-inspired look?
In the product images, the Click has angular panels and slim lights, without the ADV’s tall front windscreen. The dark bodywork and gold details of the pictured example give it a sporty appearance. The ADV’s screen, more prominent panels and different body shape borrow the visual language of adventure motorcycles.
Preference matters here, but consider how that shape fits your routine before choosing a colour. If your parking space is narrow, measure the actual scooter where you intend to keep it. Look through the windscreen from your own seated position, too; a photo cannot establish how well it will protect you from wind.
The ADV’s styling is not proof of off-road capability. If unpaved roads are a regular part of your route, you need to assess the tyres, suspension and documented riding performance of the exact version.

In traffic, automatic transmission is a shared feature
Both scooters use CVT, a continuously variable transmission that handles the drive ratio automatically. You do not operate a manual clutch or select gears as you ride. If you are moving from a manual motorcycle, that change in how you use the controls is relevant. Between the Click and ADV, however, being automatic is a shared feature rather than a reason to choose one.
Hamtaz lists a 157 cc engine for both. Equal displacement does not establish equal acceleration or fuel consumption. Comparing those requires measurements of both versions under comparable conditions; this article does not report such a test.
For your commute, check your reach to the bars, foot position and ability to control the scooter while stopped. You can assess those during a viewing without relying on an unsupported top-speed figure or a sales description.
The ADV’s larger tank: a measurable difference
Hamtaz lists two litres more fuel capacity for the ADV. If you cover substantial distances and want fewer fuel stops, that difference deserves a place in your decision.
Tank capacity and fuel consumption are different measurements, though. Without recorded consumption for the exact versions, we cannot say how many additional kilometres the ADV will cover or which scooter uses less fuel. Estimating the gap between fuel stops takes both usable tank capacity and actual consumption.
Check the full variant name when comparing brakes
Both selected versions are advertised with ABS, the anti-lock braking system. The reviewed pages do not specify the number of channels, so the ABS label alone does not establish anti-lock braking on both wheels. Disc brakes describe the brake type; they do not, by themselves, prove ABS is fitted.
If a seller offers a Click CBS, do not treat it as the Click ABS in this table. Check the actual equipment, relevant indicators and manual for that variant. Our guide to ABS and CBS explains the questions to ask.
Four checks to make during each viewing
- Sit on the scooter in your usual riding footwear. Check your reach to the ground, handlebars and brake levers.
- Ask to see the under-seat compartment. With permission, try the helmet or items you actually intend to carry.
- If you regularly carry a passenger, check their seating area and foot space as well.
- Assess moving the scooter in your parking space and using its stand under safe conditions. Liking the product photo cannot answer these questions.
Compare the cost of the actual scooters for sale
Write down year, variant, mileage and condition alongside each asking price. The gap between a used Click and a new ADV is not simply the difference in value between the two models. An advertised price is also a seller’s asking price, which may differ from the final transaction. On DrMotori’s model pages, read the price type and observation date alongside the amount.
For maintenance, obtain parts and labour quotes in your own city. Compare oil servicing, transmission servicing, brake pads, tyres and batteries using equivalent parts quality. If you are buying used, add an estimate for necessary repairs to the purchase price.
We do not have comparable cost evidence to declare either model cheaper to maintain. A particular scooter’s service history can matter as much as its model name. Take our used-motorcycle buying checklist to the viewing.
Specifications that need further checking
Hamtaz’s ADV page describes the cooling system in two different ways: air-cooled in the summary and water-cooled in the main text. We have not used that field to decide which scooter is better; it needs checking against the manual for the exact variant. Nor have we used weight or seat-height figures to make a firm recommendation about rider height or control without a clear model year and measurement basis.
The table reports supplier-declared information. It is not a road test, an inspection of a used scooter or a specification sheet for every international version.

Which is better as a first scooter?
The model name alone cannot answer that. Both versions in this guide are automatic. For a first scooter, assess control while stopped, how the seating position fits you and the budget for purchase and servicing. Rider training and suitable protective equipment are part of preparing to use either one.
Sources and review date
Hamtaz Motor’s official descriptions of the Honda CLICK 160 ABS and Honda ADV 160 ABS were reviewed on 13 October 2026. This article concerns the versions presented for Iran. The cover is a promotional composite based on reference images of both models, rather than a photograph of a test or ride.
The viewing and cost advice is a buying guide. This article does not report a road test, an owner’s experience or measurements of fuel consumption or acceleration.
