    "You have time to smoke a cigarette or text your ex while it warms up!" Ananda, you're not only adorable, but your review was absolutely outstanding. You make it feel like I'm the one riding the bike, going through the gears, feeling how it handles, and testing its limits, such as they were, on the freeway. I look forward to forthcoming reviews from you. I hope the sushi was delicious. You know, your review was just like the bike; everything you need to get the job done, and nothing annoying or superfluous to mess it up. Keep up the great work!

    I saw a woman doing 70 on a DR200 once on the freeway. I rode alongside her for a while just to see how long it would hold it. It did fine. The woman was small and she must have changed to taller gearing, but it did it.

    It reminds me of my first bike 51 years ago. Honda SL100. It went 65 but it was about 80 pounds lighter. I'm old enough to downsize now so I sold my Honda NC700X & I'm looking at this bike for in town & country roads.

    It's such a pity that we don't get this bike in the EU (probably because it's carbureted) or the Yamaha WR155. It would've been my first pick either of them.
    Regarding video tips, I have none, for me was perfect. I love the fact that at the end you're actually riding the bike and leave the street sound on instead of playing some music.

    I've been riding motorcycles in California for almost 50 years and I'm pretty sure you have to have a minimum of a 150cc to ride on the freeway even if you can keep up with traffic. I think it used to be 185CC but, bike have more power nowadays. You can ride on backroads that have 55 MPH speed limits but, not on a regular freeway that doesn't have cross traffic. No matter where you ride always keep your head on a swivel and ride safe. Enjoy the ride.

    • @AnandaNineOne

    I'm in Vietnam on holiday and have hired one of these for the past 2 weeks. I have ridden 2000kms from Da Nang to the Chinese border (Ha Giang loop) and im almost finished on my trip/ride.
    I weigh 95kgs. My bags and gear weigh 16kgs. This little bike has handles things well. Admittedly, it struggles to maintain 100kms an hour. Howerver, it will sit on 80kms an hour non-stop. This is where it has lived past 2 weeks. It corners nicely - i guess becaise it's so light.
    This has been the perfect bike on road and off road here in Vietnam. Its no enduro bike (I own a ktm 300 exc) and it's no adventure bike (I own a Royal Enfield Himalayan). But it is a great all rounder and i have had some great fun on and off road!

    Fantastic review, first one or not ;) I've had my XR150L for about 10 days, but it snowed the day after I brought it home (about 9 hours north of Minneapolis). Great for gravel highways, etc. My vStrom is too heavy for farm country. A good bike, but I'll pickup an older, cheap cruiser or something for 2-up and highway trips.

    I live in Argentina. The XR 150 and the earlier XR125 are very popular. I have ridden them and like them. Nice smooth running and easy to ride. A few people ride them on the highway but I wouldn't. People tour the country on 110's and every once in a while one gets run over by a truck. Most of my riding is around town and an XR would be fine for that. Easy to repair and parts are cheap.

  • @challacustica9049
    @challacustica9049 2 дні тому

    I am thinking of getting this as my first bike mainly for the price point and the weight. I am a little worried about the lack of highway ability. The market for used bikes in my area is fairly expensive right now, making this one very comparable in price - with presumably lower maintenance hassles to worry about being still in production and having a longer production history outside the US. Is it worth changing the gearing for commuting? Very few reviewers mentioned how well it rides at the limit, thank you for mentioning that.
    This was by far the most helpful review of the bike. Great first video.

      The first motorcycle I ever rode was my friends '79 XL250 at Indian Dunes in L.A. County. He said if you can kick start it you can ride it. I was only about 15 at the time. That is how I actually learned to drive a manual transmission car. Back around the same time another friend had an SL125 dual sport(called Enduro's back then) which is probably the great-grandfather to the XR150. We used to ride 2 up everywhere including up at the Hollywood Knolls(near the Hollywood sign). Can't do that anymore. All my bikes were Cafe or Sport Bikes but, my last bike is my XR. I have about 1100 miles on my XR and loving every mile. I used my credit card to pay for the bike since I did not plan on financing and I used the points for all the mods.

      Se ela tiver bem sincronizada (carburadores), é tranquilo! Mas mesmo assim a bicha é dura de ligar as vezes! Se cair na trilha vai ser fogo 🤣
      Mas é uma bela moto!
      Veja algumas coisas antes de comprar: disponibilidade de peças na sua região, se tem um bom mecânico na área especialista nessas motos antigas da Honda (o mecânico errado acaba a moto) e o tipo de uso que você vai fazer, pois a depender do uso ela pode ser uma pedra no sapato. Mas um off road light ela aguenta de boa, o pesado também mas se quebrar alguma coisa tem que ter certeza que haverá peça pra repor!
