Watch latest video reviews of Honda XR150L to know about its performance, mileage, styling and more.
We love dual sport motorcycles as much as we love our underbones. For the kind of roads that we have both these varieties make sense. A sports bike will curl up and die if shown such roads. Hence the sales of the big bikes are next to nothing here. Every bike maker worth his salt has one or two dual sport offerings in his kitty. After all, who will not want to cash in on a booming market. The Honda XR150L is one of the highest selling dual sport motorcycles in its category. It received a graphics update recently as well as switch to a Euro IV engine. The motorcycle as we know has been around from the last few years. So, let's see what the whole deal with the XR150L is and why is it so popular.
Minimalist comes to mind when you look at the new Honda XR150L. It is of course inspired by the legendary CRF series. Honda offers the 2018 Honda XR150L in two colors - red and black. There is also the spoked wheels with tubed rubber. The wheels are 19-inch in the front and 17-inch at the back. There is a telescopic front fork while the rear is a monoshock. The Honda XR150L measures 2,091 x 811 x 1,125 (mm) for the length, width and height parameters. The meters are really simple with a large speedometer and a few tell-tale lights next to it. This version of the XR150L has digital units in some other Asian countries. Wonder why Honda isn’t bringing them down here. The side slung exhaust which is closer to the pillion seat also is coloured based on the bike’s colour. Both the tail light and headlight feature halogen bulbs. The wide seat, as well as luggage rack behind it, look cohesive with the utilitarian image of the vehicle.
As discussed, the Honda XR150L uses telescopic front suspension and a monoshock at the back. Under heavy braking, the front end dips lightly but the rear stays firm. This set up particularly helps while there is a pillion or if you are travelling with luggage. Speaking of which, the broad seat also doesn’t ring in fatigue even after covering long distances. Honda uses a combination of a front disc and a rear drum to bring the motorcycle to a halt. Unfortunately, ABS isn’t offered. We love the fact that the seat height of 825 mm is lower than that of the competition. The ground clearance of 243 mm is more than enough to tackle off-road obstacles. The knobby tyres offer good grip but since there is no ABS on offer, things can get a bit tricky in the wet.
Honda uses a 150 cc carbureted motor in the Honda XR150L. The engine is of the 4-stroke single cylinder, air-cooled, Over Head Cam (OHC) type. The bore and stroke of this engine are 57.3 x 57.8 (mm). This oversquare configuration makes the motor a joy to rev. From this engine, Honda has massaged 11.8 PS of power and 12.5 Nm of torque, enough to handle the daily grind as well as off-roading. Honda uses a 5-speed manual transmission. The fuel tank capacity is 12 litres and while there is no fuel gauge to tell you how much is left, the efficiency of the bike is quite high. The mileage of the Honda XR150L is 52 kmpl. So, more than 600 km range is available before a refill.

The Honda XR150L price starts from Php 89,900. The Honda XR150L is worth the money and is a very good motorcycle. It tackles the rough as well as street riding very nicely. It will also handle touring duties though we wish the motorcycle had some more grunt. The equipment list is minimalist and something we wish Honda did take care off. There is also the lack of ABS, the basic safety feature for any motorcycle. We hope the Honda XR150L specifications for 2019 to reflect all these changes.

The engine is equipped with an Engine Balancer, which is responsible for providing a smooth and bump-free ride by reducing vibration. Mated to a 5-speed manual transmission system, its peak torque output is rated at 12.5 Nm, which in combination with 129 Kg curb weight proves good for off-roading. The considerable ground clearance of 243 mm, however, 7 mm less
