I purchased one last Saturday. Its a great little bike. It sips gas. Adequate brakes. Just dint try to yeild onto an interstate during rush hour. It's not made for that whatsoever.....
Heck yeah, congrats man! Was it hard for you to find one or pretty easy? lol good to know! What kind of top speed / cruising speed have you been seeing out of her so far on flat ground?
@@HondaProKevinEXTRA easy to find. Hard to get a fair price. I found them as high as 5800 plus some change out the door. Really! I didn't even consider those shops. I did find one for 3400 plus change out the door wirh a tag. Basically retail, but that was SO HARD TO FIND! DEALERS WOULD LIE AND SAY THAT 2971 PLUS 300 FOR FREIGHT AND SET UP WAS A MISPRINT IN HONDA'S WEBSITE. Geez..... It cruises at 50 mph. I got it for around the farm and to open our store in the morning about 5 miles away. It's not powerful, but I knew that and that is why I bought it. Light, easy to ride, nimble and the clutch and engine are bulletproof
It looks really cool but the ponies and torque just aren't there. I live in the Ozark mountains and refuse to jam up morning traffic. My little 250 keeps up okay, but a 150? Nope, I'm just not going to do that to other drivers.
Its great that Honda realizes that china is eating their lunch in this segment and is offering something. Most of the Chinese bikes are in the 250cc range though, so I wonder how this Honda compares power wise... not that there's much, but you know what I mean.
You're spot on there bud! I haven't gotten to ride many 250cc bikes from China so I can't compare real world experiences there and would only be able to quote their spec sheets but if there's anything we've learned over the years with a lot of those bikes, the numbers quoted by them can be misleading. But yeah, not much power with this thing and with it only pumping out 12hp - once you factor in power-to-weight, she feels similar to a Grom with 9hp but the XR does seem to pull a bit more at higher speeds. With that being said though, it would be interesting to slap some of those Chinese 250cc bikes on the dyno and see what their real world numbers are compared to this 150 etc.

Finally, a motorcycle that has enough quality at a price point I can afford :)
Yeaaah buddy! It's hard not to love the idea of more, cheaper options being brought to the table.

I like the tires. Are those steel rims? It will be fun reading how everyone will update the bike to go an extra five mph.
Yeah, some people are really good at spending four figures for an extra four mph.
Yessir, they are steel wheels.
lol you guys got that right, people are going to be modding the crap out of these things for sure!

@@HondaProKevinEXTRA yup, and since Chinese bikes run years old clones of Honda type engines, power might be very similar.
