Could the Honda SFA 150 start a trend of ‘modular’ motorcycles?
24 January 2025 10:01
It’s an interesting concept, but I wonder if it will take away from the ‘soul’ of motorcycling. It's also part of the appeal—that the bike is a cohesive, purpose-built machine, not a collection of parts that can be swapped out.
Will the Honda SFA 150’s unique design draw new riders or drive traditionalists away?
24 January 2025 10:01
You're all missing the point. This is not a design for traditional riders; it’s a design for a whole new category of urban mobility. It could be huge in Asia and Europe.
Is the Honda SFA 150 the ultimate urban commuter?
24 January 2025 10:01
The SFA 150 is cool looking, but I'm not sure I want to put it on my body. However, that underseat exhaust might get the seat uncomfortably hot while riding in traffic for a long time. And good luck finding aftermarket luggage options for that unique rear end design.
Could the Honda SFA 150 change the face of motorcycle parking in crowded cities?
24 January 2025 10:01
I'm skeptical. Of course it will in some places, but most cities are having trouble keeping up with maintaining their current infrastructure. It seems unlikely that we'll add a whole new category of parking.
Is the CRF250L's fuel injection a big advantage over carbureted dual sports?
24 January 2025 09:44
It depends on what you are looking to do. The CRF250L’s fuel injection is perfect for the daily commuter with a little trail use thrown in. To me though, the argument of a simpler carbed system for a hardcore adventure bike that could be faced with sketchy fuel in remote areas makes sense. You need to know what your needs are and choose accordingly.
Does the CRF250L's soft suspension make the bike a no go for serious off road use?
24 January 2025 09:44
In fact, the soft suspension is actually a blessing in disguise. I find it makes the bike a lot more comfortable for daily riding and long trips. Not everyone needs a race ready, stiff suspension on their dual sport. It’s perfect for the average rider who hits dirt roads every now and again.
But how does the CRF250L stack up as a beginner bike against the usual suspects of starter motorcycles?
24 January 2025 09:44
The previous comment does not agree with me. In fact, the height of the CRF250L actually forces new riders to learn proper technique for mounting and dismounting which is critical. That means you can practice in dirt so you can learn to deal with slides and loose surfaces in a safer environment than the street.
Is the CRF250L a ‘Jack of all trades and master of none’?
24 January 2025 09:44
I've ridden my CRF250L for two years now and I have to say: It was a blast. Yes, it’s not going to win any races, but that’s not the point. It’s a great commuter bike, I can do some light touring, hit some trails on the weekend, and commute to work during the week. It's the Swiss Army knife of motorcycles.
Is the CRF250L a better adventure riding bike than the legendary XR650L?
24 January 2025 09:44
I've ridden both and for adventure riding, the XR650L any day. That thumper engine is a bulletproof engine and it has enough power to get you and your gear through anything. Comparatively, the CRF250L feels underpowered, especially if you’ve taken it off on a fully loaded shopping trip to the store and back.
Is the Hondaonda CB Shine truly the king of Indian commuters?
23 January 2025 10:41
No way, man. The SP 125 blows it out of the water. It has better features, the samesame reliability,, and doesn’t look like it’s stuck in 2010.
What is this "Silent Start" feature on the Honda CB Shine all about?
23 January 2025 10:41
Nice, but is it worth the extra cost? I’d rather spend that money on better tires or something.
Is the Honda CB Shine really'shining in heavy traffic?
23 January 2025 10:41
It’s good, but the real traffic king is the one on the bicycle whizzing by while we’re all stuck. Perhaps we could reconsider our choices!
Question: Is the Honda Livo 110 the ultimate'sleeper' commuter bike?
23 January 2025 10:20
Absolutely! The Livo is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This little beast has smoked so many 'faster' bikes at traffic lights.
Does the Honda Livo's "Diamond Type" frame make a difference in handling?
23 January 2025 10:20
Absolutely! Livo's planted feel in corners is down to the diamond frame. It's like riding on rails!
Is the lack of ABS on the Honda Livo a deal breaker for safety-conscious riders?
23 January 2025 10:20
Yes, for safety-conscious riders, the lack of ABS on the Honda Livo can be a drawback. ABS significantly improves braking performance by preventing wheel lock-up during sudden stops.
Can the Honda Livo provide real-world performance on par with 125cc bikes?
23 January 2025 10:20
On paper, no. The differences are minimal in real life for everyday riding. It’s more about the bike than the rider.
The Honda Livo's design is too conservative, or is its simplicity just part of its charm?
23 January 2025 10:20
The Honda Livo’s simple design can be seen as part of its charm for those who prefer understated aesthetics over aggressive styling.
Is the Honda Livo really'muscular' or just hype?
23 January 2025 10:10
I disagree. The Livo is a more aggressive-looking commuter for its class. It has a beefier look due to the tank design and shrouds. It's not a sports bike, but it's muscular for what it is.
So does Honda Livo's 'Enhanced Smart Power' really make a difference?
23 January 2025 10:10
Yes, Honda's Enhanced Smart Power technology improves fuel efficiency and reduces friction within the engine components, resulting in better mileage without compromising performance.
How does the Honda Livo stand up to the build quality premium compared to less pricey options?
23 January 2025 10:10
As for myself, I think it’s overkill for a commuter. It's well built, yeah, but do you really need tank-like build quality to ride to work? Just the same, a cheaper bike will get you there.
