- Tigit Jon compares the Honda XR 150, Honda CRF 150 and Yamaha WR 150 in Vietnam.
The three best 150cc dual-sports in Vietnam.
A little bit of number crunching, but mostly just raw fun and enjoyment driving these three great motorbikes around in circles.
The Yamaha WR 150 is the best machine, but is it worth the $3800 price tag?
The Honda CRF 150 at $3200 used to be the best 150 in Vietnam, but does the WR 150 leave it in no man's land?
The Honda XR, does it still hold its weight in gold at $2800, or is it time people started looking at spending more money and getting the better bikes.
Within this video, we have a debate about fixing motorbikes and the issues of maintaining motorbikes without proper distribution.

Finally an English review on wr 155 👍👍👍🇳🇵
Glad you liked it
IKR I've been waiting for so damn long
Yes i like yamaha wr 155r i love to yamaha
Haha same here, been renting for too long but no parts for the wr155r :(
Ikr
Very good review 👏 and all questions i had were answered thank Johnathan
Glad to help!
Think I'll be renting one of these next year to do Ha Giang
nice well-put comparison. made me want to get the wr155
Gonna get myself an WR next week. Super excited :D .Moving to offroad/dual sport from my MT09
Good stuff.
Great review
Finally, Someone who takes jumps on a stock wr155, I did one with my own wr155, and was low-key kinda worrying if the bike is capable for that kind or jumps, turn out it was just me being really anxious
Lovely bikes and great to learn on.
Now, in 2024, does your concern about finding parts for WR still standing? I am wondering what's my next move after XR. I am looking for a second hand KLX. Is that a good idea?
waiting for WR 155 in Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵, Nice video love from Nepal😍😍
Great bike
Nice vlog!
Can you please tell me where I can purchase a drz400 in Vietnam.
Love the blue and that top speed..
hi jonathan, so I'm 13 and ive just had a suzuki ds80 and im trying to get into offroad dirtbiking but not to hardcore stuff I've found a really cheap XR150 for sale for about $500 nz dollars. Do you think that itwould be a good bike to start off roading. I know you already said it's good for begiiners but i think you were talking about adults so just wondering. Thanks heaps.
A point I miss in this video is that the XR150 has 17 inch back wheel. This means they are basically no tire chices.
For this reason alone it is not a good choice of bike for getting into offroading.
For plodding round a farm then sure, but if you actually want to "drive" then you need something better.
Thank God for this English interview 🙏
no worries
The WR155 is 77m brand new at the Yamaha dealer in D7. I'm thinking of buying one.
Any update on the Wr155 situation? It seems like such a solid machine, but is it confirmed yet regarding the sourcing of replacement parts?
Not easy, but no harder than the XR or CRF 150 to be honest. It does share alot with the Yamaha Exciter.
The WR155R is a big seller in Thailand with a great backup service, it pisses all over the KLX230 and CRF300L off road
In my country KLX230 and WR155 price is pretty close. Which one would you recommend?

hello sir. im torn between buying a used crf 250l 2014 model or a new wr155. may I as what is your opinion on this? thanks! ride safe
If you plan on long trips, then the CRF 250L.
If you plan to do alot of offroad / Enduro / or just practice then the WR 155.
@@Tigitmotorbikes thank you so much Sir for taking the time to reply to my question. Much appreciated! Im thoroughly researching because it will be my first bike
I was disturb when he get off the bike ang kickstart is it difficult to kickstart when you are on the bike?
I am left footed, so kickstarting off the bike is easier.
KLX gk ada
Had an XR and your observations are correct. Got a CRF and did a BRT 238 Bore kit. Now has 26.7 HP. 😊 Bike and Kit were still less than WR.
Much better than the standard wr155r
@@hmmm1555 I don't know. I couldn't find, and ride another 120 Kg 26hp bike to compare it to. 🤔🙂👍
in indonesia BRT also release bore up 200cc kit for wr155r and its get around 22hp on dyno, but with VVA technology on yamaha and 6speed i think its have advantages too, especially on high rpm.
@@joekano1768 Where did you get yours done? How much? And how has the reliability been?
@@Broadus45 Got complete BRT kit. From Plug and Play Performance in Indonesia. 50k for everything including Shipping and Customs. My local mechanic did it in about 5 hours. 4k since done. No problems at all. Have 2 friends do the same. No problems. 👍
You should try KLX230 SM its popular lately in Indonesia
How does the kawasaki KLX150 compare to these bikes?
Don't like it.
Small and light. For a woman / girl maybe
great, honest review mate....
Thanks. I think WR 155 is great.
The XR150L could have perform better if it's geared like the CRF150 15T - 49T sprocket and 18 - 21 knobby tires.
True that. Made difficult by its weird sizes wheels.
@white biker, I think we met at Ma Da forest before, I am one of the snake-finding guys at the local cafe
Sounds good.
"A lot of money for a 150cc".... Out of curiousity what bigger bikes are available for the same money?
I have pondered your question for a few days, and you have a point.
Though, in my head, the statement is based around the idea of buying a WR450 or Suzuki DRZ second hand for around 3000/4000usd. But you are right, when it comes to a new bike. My argument falls flat.
@@Tigitmotorbikes Wish I could ride with you in VN... I'm hunkered down here in Philippines
Id rather go with the Hondas... Wr155 has lots of disadvantages on its category and its more expensive than the two, by the way mate, the XR 150 is more with an adventure dual sport type of bike... You shouldve only compared the Crf150l and the Wr155.
GoodPM Sir/Ma'am, i'm planning to buy mOto and now I'm studying/doing research for the CRF 150 and WR 155 for which is best for my money...just curious about the WR 155 that you said it has a lot of disadvantages on it's category...what are those and why?..may i request for your help for me to decide between the two Moto...will it be CRF 150 or WR 155?..thanks much sir/ma'am more power and Godbless
Godbless Sir/Ma'am
Thanks for the help
ALOTS OF DISADVANTAGES WTF
That crf has so low acceleration
Yes i like this yamaha wr 155r is the best......
Very nice bike
I live in Indonesia and have the Yamaha MT15 (basically same engine as the WR, with some tuning differences I assume). I also have a CRF150L and of few months ago the new CB150X. As you can see i am a 150 "local" bikes guy. I just rode the WR for three days, I was really looking forward to it since I love the MT15 engine. Well this is where things went bit wrong for me with the WR and I would argue that for some it really is not the better bike. Since the engine comes out off a road bikes, it is not well suited for this type of bike, unless you go all out, rev it and keep it there. Not much happens below 5k or so, the engine lacks torque of the CRF motor. The variable valve timing does nothing judged by the seat of my pants. In my MT15 the engine is super refined, with the VVT you can feel the power continue to red line. In the WR engine produces, unpleasant, rod knock like noise around that 5K again. The first gear seems to tall for the low torque motor, I was doing lot more shifting riding the WR. Suspension, its still the the same inexpensive stuff, on my CRF with internal preload fork adjustment, thicker and bit higher oil level fixed the front end. In the back YSS shock. As for overall quality, the WR is bit cheap and unfinished in some areas. The passenger foot pegs don't have up locking provisions, just rely on friction of the bracket, side panels seem unfinished, exposing lots of the frame, electrical connections and such. There are hoses, thermostat, drain tubes all over the bike. Looking down at your dash, you get to look at exposed big electrical connection dust/rain cover........Yes there is lot more info on the cluster, yes there is a folding gear lever, nice touch. For all out speed/acceleration performance, yes the WR wins. But for tight trails, 'adventure" type of riding I think the CRF is not a bad choice. Last is the maintenance issue, CRF wins hands down. Air cooled, simple, valve lash adjustment is a 15 min job. It also features ingenious, centrifugal, internal oil filter, so oil change is 5 min. I really wanted to like the WR, but I will stay with the CRF.
sayo na crf mo
A lot of good points.
And this is the reason Tigit has still not bought any Yamaha WR 155's. Infact, long term owners of the bike don't seem to particularly like it!
I did pick up on the maintenance issue in this video (this video was at launch of the bike). I was correct, and people struggle to maintain it.
I do not think so, WR has a lot of power and torque than crf, I bought mine 2 months ago, I'm using it for hard trail, I just change the front sprocket to 13T boom a lot of torque coming out. one thing I like this bike has a liquid cooled. No worries in overheating. good for enduro and road
I agree with you sir.
Roger that
You are the basic of the basics
Thanks
Xr made in china 🤔?is it true?
XR china and crf is from indonesia
Itscwr155 not wr150
You don’t drive a motorcycle you ride it
You are comparing the WR power to a KTM 300, it’s not even close so why bother
english yess!!!
Xr 150 depend on how big u are ..
The WR is a 155 not 150
All your concern about wr are very very s2pid
The review is based in Vietnam. There is no Yamaha support for these bikes.
that XR is not a true XR.
True that.
