papa testing CB150

[papa al]

Rented a CB150 from PJ Trading Pattaya today.

Always a fan of this engine,

having owned a 2012 fuel injected CBR150 for a while

and currently at 45Kkm on my '08 carby version.

Rented the Winner in Vietnam 2 years back.

Kinda rainy today so didn't get much time on the CB,

but will wring her out for a week

and report back.

Would like to run CB v CBR head-to-head,

so if if any game Pattizens out there want to volunteer

to help test ...

let papa know.

150cc ??

 

can't see the point....

 

My skoota would show that thing a clean pair of heels - and i can get the shopping under the seat....

Don't forget a few pictures of the bike in your review. 

I reckon this bike is the two wheeled version of the Toyota Vios.

 

Might not be the most exotic bike but a good steady Eddie at a reasonable price.

Utube probably has done it already or MCN. ????

Is this the CB150R ExMotion?  The one that vibrated a lot?

yes

Forget the CB 150, and try the CBD 15ml.   A much safer and healthy experience

I saw this advertised at PJ Trading; it looked nice, has low mileage and the price, not too bad although it has a gear shift indicator which you don't care for (lol).  I was thinking of checking it out, but I'm leaning to moving up to at least a 300.  Presently, I'm still enjoying my 2013 CBR 150R, first of the fuel injected CBR 150's with only light to moderate vibration.  I think Honda modified the CB to produce slightly less horsepower, but boosting the torque slightly.

[papa al]

Right.  papa got to run the bike around today.

The bike has good grunt, but 

top end pretty dismal;

Couldn't even get 120 on indicator.

Did notice a little blue light on the display

which turned out to be a shift suggestion.

Also displays what gear is engaged, 1-N- ... -6.

Haven't noticed a vibration problem.

Front brake is excellent.

Is this a plug for advertising or what? 

[mercman24]

well i will PLUG (her) that dont sound right, i bought a Yamaha gt from her 2 years ago, front mudguard had a small crack, she replaced it, also done all the paperwork as part of the deal, one happy customer here.

Returned the bike Monday after 1-week's use.

Overall favourably impressed, no big faults.

-Small criticism is the mirrors, which are large,

but 1/2 reflected the arms, not rear view.

-Bike lacked top speed vs. ceeber.

+The bigger tires and beefy USD front...velly nice.

+Front large-diameter brake impressive.

+The meter display had it all, well laid out.

+papa, like the built in clock and gear-selection indicator functions.

+ Exhaust note is nice, a low pitch rumble.

+ the low down compactness of the can.

+Wide handle-bars have nice dirt-bike feel, but

-a little limiting on lane-splitting.

The bike is 100K new;

2nd-hand @ 7000km. this one B60K, including transfer fees.

Rent was B1500 the week. (3K deposit)

//////////////////

Next up: rent the KTM Duke 200.

B1800/week.

B10,000 deposit.

///////////

If anybody looking to test a bike before buying new,

maybe this outfit, PJ Trading be the choice.

Pailin, speaks English well enough, seems honest & competent.

...papa out.
