Dimensions in practice
The 150 weighs 115 kg with fluids, has an 770 mm seat, and rides on a 1290 mm wheelbase.
The fuel tank holds 7.4 litres.
Tyres are 110/70-11 front and 120/70-10 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
ABS on the front wheel only. Far better than none; the rear can still lock.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Under-seat storage
Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.
