OneMoreFarang Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I guess I = Injection = No carburetor. That is fine if all works fine but you won't be able to change any settings which are easy to change on a bike with carburetor. So if you consider changing anything like a different exhaust, etc. that might be a lot easier on a carburetor bike. I have a modern bike with computer controlled injection, ignition, etc. And it works according to the newest emission standards. And it runs not smooth below 4,000RPM. And I can't do anything about it and the dealer's mechanics can't do anything about it because it's all in a sealed computer. I could buy an aftermarket part for 300USD to solve this problem. I won't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NCC1701A Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) i have a 125 click. but i like the wider tires on the 150. can't stand that pumpkin color. the key less thing is cool. very hard to get your key lined up in a 125 at night. but my 125 is super light and easy to maneuver. zero problems in five years. it was so inexpensive new i am not worried too much about it getting stolen and held hostage.

This is a runabout twist and go type so wondering if the extra 25cc is worth the squeeze from the juice from the original 125i click. I hate the look and oversized fairing of the PCX so never considered that model. Edited July 10, 2019 by JimmyTheMook 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Not many scooter can be had with carburetors now, maybe some Chinese models. FI is the way to go, optimum fuel consumption under all conditions. Some carburetors also don't like E fuel (gasohol). I would get the 150cc model if I was you, gives you a bit extra grunt which is good, especially 2 up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I didn't like this white / black and orange when they had it a few years ago on the PCX and i still don't like it. But if it matches your taste then go for it ???? Imho it's quite easy, because it's simply a Click with 25 more cc: When you ride a 125cc bike, do you often give full throttle? Going for 150cc makes sense If you nearly never give full throttle on a 125cc bike, then you probably don't have a use for the extra 25cc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thequietman Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 I got the 150 this year. Had the PCX before which was a lump of a thing. looks great and a nippy thing as well. Well worth getting the extra 25cc. Very easy on fuel and the fob is handy when leaving the bike for moment and returning. Just keep it in your pocket and you can start no problems. Lots of space under the seat like the PCX. You can buy the inside leg panels and change your colours if you like. I am happy with this one and hope to sell it for 50,000 in 9 months and just add 10,000 baht and get a new one. It will have about 4000 km's on the clock by then with Honda service history and receipts to prove it. That's the plan. ???? Great little bike with grunt if you need it. Buy one. ???? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisfeld Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 According to https://paultan.org/2018/05/03/2018-honda-click-150i-and-125i-now-in-thailand-pricing-starts-from-rm6334-up-to-rm7476/ the difference is just 1HP and 2Nm, probably wont notice much.

Costs 20% more. Any other differences? It always depends on how you read the numbers. You can say "just 1HP and 2Nm", or you could say: 12% more horsepower and 19% more torque.

Noticeable yes, but how much? I don't think it's gonna make a big difference. Interestingly enough it seems the phillipino version seems to have better specs: https://www.zigwheels.ph/new-motorcycles/honda/click-150i/specifications 19% more peak torque means what on a CVT driven bike? If it always switches to the highest power RPM which is at 8.5k in order to provide maximum acceleration at full throttle then it doesn't matter much what torque it can produce at 5k or 5.5k respectively. In terms of acceleration you will then get only <12% improvement. Mind you I don't know how the Click CVT behaves in terms of RPM. Maybe it stays at lower RPM for fuel efficiency reasons? In the end everything is always relative. If you try both back to back then you will probably take the 150. If you have another bike with a lot more power then choosing between the 125 and 150 might be a case of "meh, I only use it to zip down to 7 anyways, who cares, I'll keep the 9k price diff". They should have given the 150 ABS imho. But I guess that's the PCX selling point that they don't want to cannibalize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BritManToo Posted July 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2019 I find the key less ignition a bit of a problem. Never sure if I've locked it or not, and if not anyone can start it at the push of a button. Then worry about dropping the fob when I'm driving along, they are expensive to replace. At least with a key, I know where it is when I'm riding the bike. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skallywag Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Pros: You get somewhere faster than taking a Grab, a metered taxi, a bus, a train?, walking, or bicycling. Motorcycles are fun and cool to look at. Chicks dig guys on motorcycles. Cons: Thailand has the second highest road traffic fatality rate in the world at 36.2 per 100 000 with an annual estimate of over 24 000 deaths or 66 deaths every day. While globally 49% of road traffic deaths are among vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists), it is 83% in Thailand including 73% among motorcyclists or 48 per day. http://www.searo.who.int/thailand/areas/roadsafety/en/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's strange, the ecu computer can be re-calculated and checked your dealers mechanics more and likely are just spanners like me, I like carbs. ????

At Kwakas in Nakhon Sawan a technician plugged into my Versys ecu and checked everything, the difference was certainly noticeable. I guess it depends on the bike. In my case, KTM, there is nothing the mechanics can do. The ECU has it's fixed maps and that's it. It seems until now nobody in the world found a way to hack that ECU (except physically breaking it open and then messing around with it). 3rd party additional components are connected in between like i.e. the real air sensor measures 30 degrees but the manipulated signal shows 20 degrees to the ECU so that the ECU adds more fuel. And other "tricks" like that. Personally I think emission controls are a good idea - but sometimes it just goes too far. And it seems for the future mechanics (or even electronic specialist) can't do anything anymore on engine settings for many bikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you solder in a reister into the circuit , fooling the ECU into running a colder map. Not many KTM experts in Thailand. KTM factory do sell performance parts.

Guderian Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I've had the old 110 cc Honda Click for 13 years, and never any serious issues. I change the oil once a year and after 10 years I had the whole thing stripped down and anything looking worn replaced, including all the plastic bodywork. If I needed another bike I wouldn't look at anything else but a Click. One of my farang neighbours has had a 150 cc Click for a while now and he gets on fine with it. He's also got a Honda Phantom but seems to use the Click all the time, cheaper I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joskeshake Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I bought my 150 click about 9 months ago, good motorbike, only for me took long time to get used with remote key 55. I have a spacey and also click 125 but for me the 150 is the best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx123 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Go for it. Beside its smaller size @ 107kg and step through design (personal preference), I don't see any cons with it. It's fuel efficient (FI) and affordable price for a 150cc. Edited July 12, 2019 by alx123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oversized fairing on Aerox is a joke, noting to see there. Kinda weird when your'e asking for inputs on your decision and then proceed trash other bike models. Looks like you've already made up your mind on it, why bother asking around? Iv'e owned 2 Yamahas before, and currently owns a Honda. I believe Yams are above the Honda when it comes to ride feel and quality. But it's my own opinion based on my exp with both bikes only. I'll take the Aerox with ABS against the click 150i all the time. Bigger tires, abs brakes, a little bit more weigh, etc. But again, just my personal preference here.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a bike this size, that jump in torque would be very noticeable. And the most important thing is that the max torque on the bigger engine comes in 500 rpm lower in the rev range and that would certainly make things better around town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
