The.150 would be good for navigating the urban jungle.

I wanted a Honda CRF300 at one point. I went to my local dealer, they had 2 in stock and they don't mind you test sitting. So I try to get on it. Nope, legs does not move like that. Tried another approach. Again, nope, body doesn't do that either. How the heck do you actually get on a tall dual sport bike? The parts guy comes over and uses the peg and just climbs on. No thanks, I can't get my head around the side stand holding up to my weight day in and day out. Plus, it was still crazy tall once I did get on it. Now they got that XR150 coming out. Great price and plenty of power for surface streets. I suspect Honda will have a hit on their hands with it!

For city traffic, I can see where the 150 may sell somewhere like Thailand or Vietnam where it's crowded with scooters, but not here. Not enough power to get ahead and deal with crazy traffic. Maybe a decent back roads\trail bike as long as you are not in too much of a hurry.
