2023 Honda XR150L review
Sorry to burst bubbles, but this XR150 is built in Mexico by a Chinese company that "partners" with Honda. It nothing but a clone bike, like all the other crap out of China...There's no way its going to have the durability of a true XR. The reason why T-Dubs cost $2k more is because its a true Japanese motorcycle... Rule #1, you get what you pay for 😉
There seems to be this misconception that the xr 150l is built in Mexico by a Chinese partnership when, in actuality, it is assembled in Mexico by this conglomerate, and the parts are actual honda parts with honda oversight . If honda puts their name and reputation on it, then the quality control has to be there. Kawasaki has many of its smaller motorcycles assembled by bajaj in India, but all the parts are Kawasaki and have the backing of Kawasaki. The Japanese are very particular about their reputation and quality.
TW200 any day, they go on forever, manufactured since 1987 and still being manufactured today 😊
Both are great bikes, but I hate when on a review they're being trashed at max rpm, and yes it does 50 or 60 with no problem. Yeah keep riding like that for 15 or 20k and the engine dies, not because it's not good enough, but it's not what it's for. Or am I the only one, who likes to ride whatever bike at max 2/3 of it's peak power or revs? I had (and still have) underpowered bikes, and if it doesn't like to go fast, well I won't push it. So it's kinda irrelevant that it "could" do 60. What does it feel like when it's doing a comfortable 50?
I rode one once. I had only been riding for a few months at the time. It was underwhelming to say the least. It’s basically a moped trying to perpetrate a dual sport. I’m a big fan of Rado n DIrt n Iron but i gotta call bullshit when i see it. This is a bike that id recommend for a younger woman who wants a scooter for running around a city or campus, or for a teenage kid who plans to learn on this for a few months and then upgrade. If this is one of your choices for first bike i would really think hard about getting something a little more lively, like a crf/klx 250/300. I would hate to see anyone spend a few grand and then be unhappy with their purchase weeks later.
Cheaper than a grom. The only motorcycle I might be able to afford one day if I save really hard. 🤞🏽
at 42, i got my first bike last October. the XR150. it’s been awesome to learn on. put about 2000 miles on it and i love it.
Is the 150 a good bike? Compare it to its tech rivals. How about the old Yamaha XT 125. Or a HONDA XL125L. Not everybody needs 'Hi-tech' crap to have fun.
You don't get 2k dollars more with the TW to justify the purchase IMO. Maybe if it was 1k more perhaps but I think the honda would be my choice.
As long as it as two wheel I'll ride it I think both bike are a good buy
The XR 150L is NOT a new bike.
It all sounds great until you get to the showroom. The dealers are adding market adjustments of up to $2000.
nice job holding out those gears. a lot of people who complain about the honda's performance seem to shift too early- you gotta rev it a bit.
Very good review. Thank you.
Rado, looks like you pulled out of the hardware or liquor store at
Great comparison, Rado!
Great review
TW200 💪💪💪
GREAT LITTLE BIKE 👍👍😎
I have a 2015 model XR150L here in South Africa. It's been my daily rider as well as occasional adventure bike. I've fitted a one tooth smaller front sprocket which slightly improves its acceleration (revs don't drop off as much when engaging the next higher ratio) while still attaining the same top speed of 112km/h (65mph?)
