The XR is the most comfortable 150cc motorbike
The Honda XR 150cc is a dual-sport designed to be both on the road and off the road! Within the 150cc category, it is the most comfortable motorbike for one or two riders. It is small compared to the western world of motorbikes. However, this dual-sport motorbike is a big vehicle for Vietnam, and it will attract attention from the locals.
Adventure driving on the Honda XR 150
Vietnam is mostly tarmac roads, but often at times the terrain can turn into gravel and mud tracks. The XR is light enough to tackle any terrain, and there is no situation where you would be caught off guard.
The Honda XR is unsupported by Honda
The XR 150cc falls into the range of “unsupported” motorbikes within Vietnamese mechanics. This means that Honda does not officially service the motorbike or stock the parts. Tigit has these motorbikes on a mass scale, and we have the parts. However, on occasion, we may need to send a part to your location. Simple things like inner-tubes are not stocked throughout Vietnamese mechanics, which means drivers must add them to their luggage load.
Adventure seekers vs New drivers on the Honda XR
Without the babysitting of Honda Service centers at Tigits/Clients disposal, small problems can lead to big problems with inexperienced riders. Overall this is an incredibly reliable and easy motorbike to operate. However, it does not have the same ease of use as the locally supported motorbikes such as the Honda Winner 150cc.
Tires Tigit uses on the Honda XR
The Honda XR 150L is equipped with dual-sport tires. We consider them 80% road with 20% offroad.
The Honda XR 150cc Rack
The Honda XR rack can support an 82L Enduristan bag without the extension rack. The extension rack is strapped down with bungees and adds an additional platform. Bags can be mounted sideways or lengthways. Overall for the size of the motorbike, there is a huge amount of space for luggage.
Hi.. have an XR reserved for next month.
Looking to bring an emergency tyre repair kit. Are the XRS tubed or tubeless?
The XR is tubed. There are mechanics everywhere in Vietnam. Good to be prepared, but in this country it is possible to get away with the bare minimum!
