the narrator's voice has more bass than aftermarket exhaust😂. love your articulation, man!
akraphovic voice???
thanks for that, finally a reviewer mentions the ride, living in the province's cement roads are harsh
Thanks so much for the review. Shocked by the shoddy quality. I am incredibly happy with my Honda XRM 125. Amazing value, 65 km/litre and made here in the Philippines. Can get fixed anywhere. 6 K trouble free km in 6 months. I will happily keep her.
Excellent video. I'm a subscriber and saw this video pop up and couldn't wait to watch it. I've always loved the looks of the XSR155. I'm an American new to living in the PH (Bacolod City). I'm not an experienced rider and trying to get my confidence up in riding in the traffic. I ended up getting a decent used Honda XR150L (mainly because of my height of 6ft 3.)
I'd like to eventually get a good used second bike and this is in my top 5 list.
I appreciate your honest opinion and all the pros and cons.
I'm always concerned with my height in find the right size motorcycle and also I noticed the hard to see speed odometer while you were riding it and I am glad you commented on it being so hard to see. Thanks again for the video.
You're welcome! That XR150L of yours will take you places where the XSR can't. 😉
Check out Husqvarna Svartpilen. They're made for taller people, at least for asian standards
@@yeetman5972 Thanks. It's got a unique look.
Freakin' love your channel, man, Keep doing what you're doing!
What comes to the bike: was kinda considering it, but now it's quality-to-price ratio is questionable, budget Honda's would be much more bang for a buck, I assume.
After what we saw in that unit, i just hope it was a user issue.
Thanks for the support man!
Hi, @TheManoy66_! New subscriber here. I own one of these and I love it. I do agree that there are a few rattling parts due to it having a single thumper between the legs but that was easily remedied with a few tiny rubber pads. There was one irritating rattling sound I couldn't find for days and figured it was the throttle assembly (I think that's what you call it) where the two cables come out of the throttle. It is pretty peppy and after a few performance mods, it became even more peppy. I dunno how much faster it can really go since I don't have the testicular fortitude to find out. Hahahahahaha! My question here is... Are you sure the unit you fiddled with has ABS? Mine does not have ABS and I don't think they came out with a version here that came with ABS as standard. I could be wrong, though.
I like your CRF the most!
Does it really have ABS like you mentioned. I never saw ABS indicated in the description of the bike. R15 but not this bike.
Im also in the Philippines
Grabe yung boses. Hahahaha. Solid
My unit also has 15k in odo. Wala naman ako naging major problem. Maintenance ko lang so far ay replacement ng brake pads, oil filter, air filter, and tires. Tapos regular change of engine oil.
thank you for the valuable information sir! I didn't expect that from a "reliable" brand like Yamaha. Quite disappointing, I feel better now that I opted to buy the Honda TMX 125 instead and a bit of customization to make it to a scrambler with a cheaper cost of 83k compared to the XSR155's price tag of like 180k +
I agree with you. I bought the top model XRM 125 with dual disc brakes in November in Dumaguete and it was only 76 K. The base model was 73 K. Perhaps you are including the customization costs in your price. I absolutely love my XRM. I am Canadian and I was very proud to own a bike made here in the Philippines. I just bought a rack and large Shad case with backrest for 8 K. I already have 6 K km on my Little Rock star.
@@free2roam674 Awesome! Hope you enjoy here in the Philippines and have more awesome rides! oh and yes! I included the customization, the tmx 125 was 55k and the parts + labor was 28k. I wish i could share the picture here, its a beauty
@@tulsdesjules In Canada for years I rode around 30K km/year, mostly on a BMW R1200RT, rocket ship. Brilliant bike for Western Canadian riding with huge distances, remote and twisty roads. Here the XRM is great. If I was touring 2 up I would get something 150-160 cc.
Manoy66...at the beginning of the vid, a versys x300 appears...must be a friend of yours...have you ridden or commented about this bike? Do you have an existing vid on it?
Yes i featured that bike in one of my videos. I had to repair the leaking gas tank on that specific unit.
I don't recall this model has ABS.
Been eyeing this model for a year and will be buying one later this month.
It doesnt
@@Jamnzhy i heard there is abs for an updated version, please correct me if I am wrong ? (not sure)
Nice vide man but i dont think it has ABS
There is single channel ABS.
@@mutantyep1 I heard there is on other countries but not here in the Philippines which is sad.
Boss , where in Cebu is your shop located?
Hey. You search in googlemaps JSY Gasoline Service Station
this bike has no ABS
honestly, it's unfair to review a banged-up motorcycle without unknown owner input. We just keep guessing what happened. But to guess the rust inside the tank, there's a possibility that he left the lid not fully closed or he let the gasoline boy close the lid which mostly don't know how to fully close it. Then he left it outside even in the rain. It's a reckless and careless owner, I'm also new to motorcycling after owning cars. My Nmax tank lid was left not fully closed by the Petron gasoline boy, thankfully I checked it before I left the station. He lacks basic maintenance skills more on basic care on his bike. It's hard to trust a review if the reviewer just borrowed the motorcycle which is so damaged in the first place.
May volt meter ba yan
This bike doesnt have ABS btw
ABS?
ABS??
Dual abs? Really?
Whats your height brother.
6'1 ft brother
Di indonesia xsr155 tidak dilengkapi dengan ABS, sangat aneh xsr di Philipin di lengkapi dengan ABS
It's not, probably the user added it.
its not a piece of cake LOL
Naalala ko lang po former bf ng pinsan ko ganyan po (parehas po na silver xsr), inupuan ko nasa 5'7" (height ko) di pa rin po ako flat foot.
6:28 - 6:30 sana po magkaroon ng chance na ma review ng kymco like 125 po.
Someday if given the chance maka testing ng kymco. 😊
Medyo hindi accurate Yun mga ibang blogger na nagsasabi ng height. Tingin ko hindi Nila Alam saktong height Nila. May nakita ako Sabi 5'8 daw siya pero sobrang Naka tingtingkayad. (di niya maamin na 5'4 Lang siya) Meron naman Sabi 5'9 siya pero flat foot na Naka bend Pa Yun knee. Eto masasabi ko 5'9 flat ako pero di ako flat foot sa motor na to. Almost flat foot pero hindi Naka lapat Yun heel ko. Pag Naka shoes naman ako na about 2 inches Yan flat foot na. Safe to say na 5'11 ka dapat Para ma flat foot mo to ng walang foot wear.
@@user-th4jk9ph5y tama po, may napanood ako sniper 150 naka flat seat para flat foot (5'7 sabi na height), pero may sniper 150 din po ako noon walang tabas upuan pero flat foot ko po (naka tsinelas pa po ako nun hehe).
i also own a xsr 155 and I'm 6ft tall. I'm actually amazed by how shorter than 5'9 can handle this bike in traffic situations esp singitan
Actually hindi yan sa height but the Inseam. Thats why i indicate that info in the video.
Stopped watching after I heard the bike has ABS
ECONOMIC BIKE... CAN'T EXPECT QUALITY OF PREMIUM YAMAHA
