Ive been looking into RS150 and Y15ZR for quiet a while. Never really consider Benelli RFS150 because my friend have a bad time dealing with his Benelli bike. I heard that Y15ZR is quiet panas. Could anyoune who have a Honda RS150 for a while would tell me is it any good?
2 of my brothers bought RS150 (early last year). Both use it to go to work on daily basis (Ampang to Glenmarie & Bukit Jalil to Glenmarie). One already developed that famous cam chain tensioner issue but the other one still in tip top condition.
Ride and handling - soft and comfy.

new is about rm9k+ close to but not exceed 10k otr if buy cash. however at that price range, many would say go for modenas's 200cc offerings - i am not saying it is not a good bike but rather i just preferred a jap brand over an indian rebadge, that's all.
fuel economy depends on the road you travel and how hard you throttle it. if you keep your revs below 6k all the time, there has been reports of achieving 470km per tank. keep yor rev below 7k, u get about 400km. anything higher about 7-8k, you get 350km on average. keep it full throttle (about 9.5-10k) all the way on highway - max dapat 250km only. except for 470km, the rest is based on my own experience. so for mixed hiway+city riding keeping a sensible max 8k rpm you can roughly get 330-350km per tank before the reserve indicator blinks. masuk reserve can jalan another 40-50km before run dry.
problem with honda is electrical issues and lack of ready spareparts. plus if u crash the bike, be ready to wait 1-2 months for replacement body parts. dunno apalanjio boonsiew is doing but two bike shop tauke i personally know oso said the same thing about the lack of parts.
Yup, Honda very bad in maintaining parts availability. As for my PCX, I just order it direct from Thailand. Faster than relying from BSH.
