A batch of Honda CGX150 motorcycles is being offered for sale by private businesses in Ho Chi Minh City, with an expected arrival and customs clearance in March.
The CGX150 is a budget-friendly manual motorcycle produced by the Wuyang-Honda joint venture. It is considered the younger sibling of the Honda CB350 H’ness, which is currently officially distributed in Vietnam by Honda and retails for 130 million VND.
Compared to the CB350 H’ness, the CGX150 offers a more compact size and minimalistic design, making it a great choice for young, cost-conscious customers who are new to manual motorcycles.
The Honda CGX150 measures 1,960 mm in length, 780 mm in width, and 1,014 mm in height, with a weight of approximately 125 kg.
This motorcycle sports a retro style with a flat seat and classic horizontal stripe pattern. Full LED lighting is featured throughout, including the headlight, taillight, and turn signals.
This manual motorcycle is equipped with 17-inch wire-spoke wheels on both the front and rear, along with single-disc brakes on each wheel. The front brake incorporates anti-lock braking system (ABS) technology for added safety. The front suspension consists of traditional telescopic forks, while the rear features dual springs.
Powering the Honda CGX150 is a single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with a displacement of 149cc. It generates 11.8 horsepower and 12.5 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, enabling the motorcycle to reach a top speed of approximately 98 km/h.
The pricing of the Honda CGX150 in Vietnam is yet to be announced. Considering its segment and design style, this motorcycle could be a competitive alternative to the Yamaha XS155R, which is currently available in the market for 77 million VND.
