HONDA XR150L - MY IMPRESSIONS! I TOOK IT TO THE HIGHWAY!

[@demiangarcia-monroy2564]

Wow great job for a first video!

[@chadriddle3517]

I just bought one 2 days ago. It’s a good overall bike to get you out on the road or off . Good review!

[@AnandaNineOne]

Keep me posted on how you enjoy it!!

[@chadriddle3517]

@@AnandaNineOne will do! I like your attitude in your reviews! Looking forward to the 300 L review! That’s what I really wanted just double the cost . One day

[@RedBud315]

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 believe you are correct! Now the law states that the engine must be 150cc or more to be on the highway! This one is 149 cc 🤣

[@donewhiskey]

I rode two-up on one of these, all over local roads and trails. I love that little bike. You can literally pick it up and carry it over obstacles haha

[@wanderlpnw]

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.

[@spring9603]

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.

[@irishadventurer9759]

I really liked the video. Very raw and authentic with no BS. I just got one of these for the reasons you mentioned: Inexpensive, simple, light, comfortable, versatile, and FUN! I don't know if you mentioned reliable, but Honda's have it, and I expect many, many miles and smiles on mine.

[@HalKorff]

Great review - as always you're right on point - excellent content as always. Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to your future videos!

[@AnandaNineOne]

More to come!

[@socialflaw]

Great video for breaking into KZbin, congrats! Now waiting for a) the dirt review b) some XL600R videos (you gotta have this slide of the internet screaming "no way that was 1st kick/cold" too 😂 )

[@AnandaNineOne]

Coming soon!

[@thealternativevlog]

That bike reminds me of my Suzuki 125 I had as a teenager in the 1990's.

[@richardahola692]

Had a Suzuki 120 2-stroke in the 60's. If I got down low on it I could reach 65 mph

[@anthonymurdoch9437]

Nice bike! I have the Brazilian version 'NXR BROS' and it is an excellent bike for urban commuting.

[@AnandaNineOne]

Amo a Bros! Moto raiz que transporta muitos trabalhadores no Brasil! Se morasse lá, certamente teria uma!

[@misterdowney]

Thanks for the great video, I have one and love it as a play bike and simple trail riding. Sometimes my motocrosser is just too much bike for the trail , that’s why I bought it.

[@AnandaNineOne]

I have an RM250 two stroke, from 2005! Too much indeed!

[@bobberyank384]

For a first video.....Brilliant!!! I remember being on the bike with a single old GoPro. And now I have an X3 on the handlebar and an Insta360 Ace Pro on my helmet and for vloging. You are doing amazing work what with your Moto Company and now here. Cheers

[@chelseabrown462]

I don’t want to die on a 150 either 😂 But at least you’d be having fun… 🤙

[@joshuatilghman7593]

Thank you. Best review out of all youtube. Decided to buy this one for gas purposes to give the v8 truck a break and save gas on the communte (top speed roads 55mph) and it does great for that.

[@jeeper5264]

good job on your first video!!!..Subscribed...Ps you have guts to ride that on the 10 at hwy speed!!! I bow to you..PS I love my 150l!!!!!

[@AnandaNineOne]

Thanks for the sub! ❤️

[@diggy-d8w]

I like it for its simplicity..... nothing fancy, just an air-cooled light weight bike. I've been looking & the greatest problem in my area is the lack of being able to ride at the local speed limit. I know/understand what its like to ride defensively & that's what it takes to get where you're going on a smaller bike. I once rode a 49.9cc TOMOS moped which did 42mph w/ an after market muffler. You learn how to share the roads w/ others & I suspect that exactly what it takes to ride this in a safe manner. Nice review !

[@CuervoSur]

Hey, i saw your Dr650, was thinking of buy one for myself, you could make a video about it

[@AnandaNineOne]

Of course! Keep tuned!

[@worldofblacksea]

Olha lá ein, vim aqui dar aquela moral. Mas não pode parar de fazer vídeos… tem que continuar, KZbin é long run não sprint. Sucesso Anandinha

[@lisachangadveja]

Can you ask Honda to please bring the XL150l to Thailand? It would be so useful here as I switch between dirt, gravel and highway many times within a ride.

[@AnandaNineOne]

What options do you guys have in Thailand? From Honda?

[@lisachangadveja]

From Honda, the CRF series are the closest thing we have here. But the smallest is a 250 in that series.

[@bretthoffman2128]

So You Were Testing the XR 150, but in the Video, You said, Let’s See What Chelsea does on the highway? You already Named It? I talk to my motorcycle too. They can hardly keep them at the dealer, here, You’re a VERY GOOD RIDER. Will You Be doing a Video for the Crf 450RL, Soon? Maybe the XR650L?

[@WatchBe]

On 10 freeway with a 150 she nuts . .. great 1st video keep posting.

[@TR-jh5nd]

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!

[@AnandaNineOne]

I’m so glad to know your experience with the bike! Thank you so much for sharing and have fun in Vietnam, I hear it’s a great riding spot!

[@kimmiep1574]

This is the best review! Thank you!

[@RetiredAdventureRider]

I seriously considered the XR150L but ended up going for a used CRF250L. Great review.

[@jjohnson6252]

Yeah, it's not my dream bike, but I still want one.

[@613Builds]

😎👍 I’m subscriber 875 many more to come

[@challacustica9049]

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.

[@lizdg3892]

I have this little bike for riding the back dirt roads to enjoy the scenery. Maintaining 55 is a chore but I love it. As far as the mpg we live in a hilly area and my bike gets 88 mpg. Still respectable and averages 240 miles per fill up. Is pure fun. ❤😊

[@igor1467]

Thanks, Great video! You meet the nicest people on a Honda! PS:Highway speeds in LA really suck!

[@bempey]

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. Keep the videos coming!

[@richardahola692]

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.

[@thiagomvrch]

Muito maneiro seu video Ananda! To quase pegando uma pra dar uma zoada aqui em Toronto tbm!! To afim de fazer uns cursos off-road e de slow maneuvers, acho que vai ser a bike perfeita.

[@AnandaNineOne]

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!

[@thiagomvrch]

Obrigado pelas dicas!! Vou dar uma olhada nesses detalhes, talvez seja melhor uma monto um pouco mais forte tipo a CRF ou uma KLX da Kawasaki. Em termos de pecas aqui no Canada a Honda ta em todos os lugares praticamente, acho que seria de boa!

[@AnandaNineOne]

Tenho uma Suzuki DR650 ano 2023, ótima moto pra colocar nas suas opções!

[@AnandaNineOne]

Cara, desculpa! Eu achei que tava no video da minha 1983 HONDA XL600R!! Haha! Vc tá falando da XR! Esquece tudo que falei! Moto ótima!!

[@thiagomvrch]

Bem que eu estranhei vc falando da falta de pecas de uma moto tao nova 😂

[@lgwappo]

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.

[@JohnSahakian]

I've enjoyed your vids!

[@loco_in_motion]

Well done first video! You'll need some mic muffs, though. I've got a Honda Super Cub 125 and a Yamaha XT225 that are both small-bore dreams. I was wondering about the performance of this XR, so thank you for the witty and informative review.

[@RedBud315]

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.

"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!

[@tony-ce7qp]

im in love!

[@RobertYonng]

Was it maxed out on the top speed run or did it seam to have more rpm to go like in the first three gears where you could red line it? If so then a smaller sprocket would help on the highway and be a lot quicker in the city.

[@insatiable_mind]

Does it not have a choke to use until it warms up? Carbureted bikes usually do.

[@AnandaNineOne]

It does!

I distrust the intentions of female moto vloggers, I came to this video to see how the 150 handles the highway and you have made a more honest presentation of this bike than of anyone else I have ever seen do a motorcycle review, speaking to the practical concerns and qualities of the bike with simple presentation. There are too many grating egos in the youtube motorcycle review sphere and this might be the best bike review I've seen on the internet, throw in some tasteful cinematography and it'd be better than Fortnine, do NOT sell out

Huh? Big brakes don't really help much except on track with track speeds.. the limiting factor on the street is grip and these brakes are more than sufficient for street/dirt use.
