Does the CB150R Streetster feel comfortable to ride two up?

People expect too much from a 150cc bike I think. It does surprisingly well for what it is at handling two up riding. Just ride a little differently, don't accelerate as hard, and be prepared to brake a little longer.

I tried two up on my CB150R and ended up getting a second bike to have when my partner wants to ride with me. It’s much more fun for both of us to have a bit more power and space.

Absolutely worth it! For 6 months I've been commuting on mine and it's great for getting through traffic. Great visibility and smooth throttle response for stop and go riding. Yes, it’s not the cheapest 150cc out there, but the build quality and reliability more than make up for it.

I think it's overhyped though. At the price you could buy a used 250cc with more power for highway riding. When you get up to 80 km/h it feels a bit underpowered. The city can have it, but it's not my kind of bike.

I think it depends what your needs are. If you spend most of your time riding in the city, with the occasional short highway stint, it’s great. It is amazingly fuel efficient, nearly 45 km/l in mixed riding. However, if you’re going to be doing a lot of long distance trips, you might want something with more oomph.

I love my CB150R as a new rider. Not intimidating, but still sporty. I already had the ABS save me once when a car cut me off. It’s perfect for a first bike or city commuter.

I have mine for a year and, although it is a good bike, I already want to upgrade. Beginners will love it but experienced riders may feel it’s missing something. It could also be better for our pothole riddled roads too.

Don’t forget the style factor! With a neo retro look, the CB150R turns heads. People have asked me about it at stoplights. If you are into aesthetics, definitely worth a try.

The CB150R replaced my scooter for my commute and it’s been a game changer. With the extra power and better handling I feel a lot safer in traffic. On top of that, it's still small enough to be able to park in tight spots.

Instant god-tier status. It would make you the talk of every bike meet and track day.

I mean, you’d probably get more eye rolls than respect. It's a knife fight, and you bring a gun.

Depends on the crowd. Your average rider might think you’re compensating for something, but track day enthusiasts would drool over it.

It's cool, but real respect is how you ride, not what you ride.

If you show up on that, you better be fast. It’s nothing worse than seeing a slow rider on a bike like that.

It's a double-edged sword. You'd get attention, but you'd also be under a lot of pressure to live up to the reputation of the bike.

The owners of bikes that are like that are usually pretty chill, in my experience. The wannabes on cheaper bikes have something to prove.

Street cred? Maybe. Track cred? Absolutely. In the right hands, that thing would be a monster.

It's the ultimate conversation starter. That conversation can be positive or negative depending on that person.

Who cares about cred? If it makes you happy and you can afford it, then go for it. You can't waste your life worrying about what other people think.
Could the average rider even take the RC213V-S's performance?

No way. It's like giving a fighter jet to someone who's only flown a Cessna. Recipe for disaster.
