I have had my XR150L for about a year and a half. If I were in the market today I would either buy another XR150L or possibly the CB150R (because it has rear disk brake, 6 speed gearbox, and efi instead of a carburetor). The bike is much smoother with the 'original' XR125 sprockets, and much more comfortable with a bit higher and wider handlebar. The ground clearance is great for roads under construction, needing construction, and without pavement. It has enough power to climb anything around here without a problem.

I see them all the time hogging the middle of the road at very slow speeds.
Maybe its a safety thing that they don't want too go to fast while texting , playing with their hair or staring at whats going on at the roadside.
I don't understand why they can't do this closer to the verge, but there's lots of things i don't understand.
I have noticed they do move at the sound of a ceres bus horn, funny that.-

I hate to say this, but I must. There are many variations of the Honda Wave. The cheapest possible one is under 50K pesos but do yourself a favour. If you have decided on that model then be sure to get one with disk brakes front and rear and solid wheels (no spokes to screw up).
Yes I have also had a Honda Wave and they not only last a long time but they hold their resale value better than most cheap bikes out there. So if you hate it you can fairly easily sell it. Such was my experience when I sold mine to move up to an XRM

As for buying new or used, keep an eye out for an "almost new" one. Sometimes a foreigner will come here and buy a new motorcycle rather than rent one and then sell it cheap when he leaves. But you are competing with lots of other buyers for those sweet deals so it may take a while to find one.-
