This is close how i ride but im about 45 on top end, my first test was 200 miles before i had to switch to reserve, so used 1.9 gallon. My second time riding the exact same way i only hit 165 miles before swapping to reserve. Weird since the first try the engine wasnt loose yet, it was still being broken in.
I live in upstate NY. We have moderately hilly roads and I’m averaging 88 miles per gallon. It is a fun bike. Great on gravel back roads as well. Soaks up the potholes I manage to hit. Comes with the rear rack. Great for commuting. I upgraded the foot pegs , added hand grip guards and skid plate. Love this little bike as does my 26 yr old son who is a street biker. Also the seat I’d very comfortable. I’m 5’1” and it is just low enough and manageable. Great first bike.
@@anaveragehuman2937 If ridden very gently at a steady pace the entire time, it may get that but I doubt it and that's not realistic anyway. Under mixed use and average riding, 100mpg. I only weigh 160 so a heavier person would get less as the weight to power ratio would change. But still, 100mpg is awesome and makes it a perfect commuter bike if you don't need to ride on interstates. It's a very efficient bike.
Cost only US$1700 here in the Philippines. Seat is NOT comfortable for tall rider like me, mine is now AFTER modifying the seat. I have been riding mine for 6 years!!!!
It’s a great bike! I’ve been riding for 50 years, and bought one last summer. I live in rural Montana, so I have access to a lot of gravel and fire road riding, and it’s a lot more laid back to ride than any of my other bikes(1150GS,XR650, 370 Frontera). It’s perfect for running errands around town, and just play riding. As a plus, the engine is bulletproof and easy to maintain.
I think this would be an ideal backroad tourer esp. in Europe. No temptation to get on the boring highways, simple, light, sips gas, hard to break. I'm surprised it didn't do better. I get almost 80 mpg on my Honda NC750x on a mixture of lower-speed highways, small town commutes. Priced lower than many bicycles, still a tempting option. Don't think I'd fit on it.
Nice little bike. A good second or third bike for ya. If you're just getting into motorcycles and have $4,000 cash to spend, get a larger displacement used bike that you won't soon out grow. BTW I have a Honda Navi and it only gets about 80mpg out of it's 110cc motor.
@@DailyMotor by topping off you mean, adding more fuel after the pump nozzle has shut off automatically? yeah, that's extremely bad. I ruptured the evap system in a car doing that, expensive lesson
Its classified as a motorcycle, not a scooter, but you should defintiely get one! They're great for around town riding and trail riding. Was going 70 on some backroads on mine yesterday, pockets around 50-55 once it's broke in, nothing better!
I've been using my XRT150L for about 10 months, mostly on secondary roads with 35-50 MPH speed limits. In that range I reliably average about 110 MPG.

Where do you live and what type of terrain ? Hills or flat as a board.
Remember, this bike is carbureted, so performance will be very dependent on altitude.
I love that from 6:04 and on, you sound like you’re talking on a Xbox 360

Love to see the real world results. Thanks!
Measured mine 3 times.....97, 170, 103 miles per gal.
@@1122redbird Nice. That's more like it when honda is claiming 124 mpg.

I feel like this bike would get the job done in most cases, Honda rocks for finally bringing this model to the wild wild west.

Honda sells a version of that here in the Philippines. Except the engine is fuel injected. It also has antilock brakes.
NO it dosent have ABS
Wrong and wrong. But the one in the Phils has a kick starter which is cool.
@@1122redbird it does not
@@Caveman2k go look up the PCX 160, it absolutely does.
@@kevinbarry71 You're wrong. But whatever man.

I get around 100 mpg on mine, it’s mostly flat roads just out side of town.

These bikes are undergeared. By swapping out the front sprocket to +1t, and reduce the rear by -3T, and you'll average around +85mpg.
@@ProDigit80 that would totally kill the offroadablity though.
it would improve fuel economy around town but burn your clutch off the backroads.

I’m getting 90 mpg on average on rural farm roads
Charlie, With just 12 hp, what's wrong with staying in the right lane? 🤔
Gotta try to average 70 mph!
@@DailyMotor 😁
I always mesure "smiles per galon" 🙂
2,6 l/100 km
So this does good on 50mph roads?
Yeah you'll be fine, but if traffic is speeding you'll be tapped out keeping up
How Heath are you?
is this as vibratey as a drz400
It’s not as buzzy as most small four stroke singles.
It’s smooth as butter up to 45-50mph
My 2024 gets about 88mpg on 87 pump gas
Too small for florida. Youll need a 200-250cc minimum. 300-400cc for highway rides.
I wouldn’t take my crf300l on any road with a speed limit over 60
Can you do the Acura Integra CVT
If you get your hands on one?
I will try!
I weigh 125 lbs and stay under 50. it goes forever.
Why don't you recommend topping it off?
Not good for the fueling system to not have room for expansion and breathing.
@@DailyMotor by topping off you mean, adding more fuel after the pump nozzle has shut off automatically? yeah, that's extremely bad. I ruptured the evap system in a car doing that, expensive lesson
140 is about what I get once the tank is completely empty.
That should be a heck of a lot lighter than a 250 if it isn't scratch that thing off my l9st!
That's my biggest frustration with it, the weight. I've got my eye on an older Yamaha XT225, good bit lighter
The one scooter I contemplate buying!

I like it but with carburetor and no gas gauge. I will wait for the next model. This bike costs 1655 us dollars out the door in Asia.
I love the carb and no gas gauge. Easy to maintain and repair. Nostalgia. Cost overseas? let me check.
I'd rather have the hunter 350 for that price
Please elaborate.
