How fast can the CBF150S actually go?

The Honda CBF150S can actually reach 160 km/h, with an optimal cruising range of 500 km. Positioning of the CBF150S: The Sundiro Honda CBF150S is a practical motorcycle launched by Sundiro Honda. Its practicality is reflected not only in the engine performance but also in its straightforward design, such as the flat rear seat and minimalist exterior, which are characteristic of practical motorcycles. Power of the CBF150S: The CBF150S is equipped with a single-cylinder, air-cooled engine from Sundiro Honda. This engine has a compression ratio of 9.1:1, a maximum power of 8.5 KW at 8000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 11.7 Nm at 5500 rpm. It is paired with an electronic fuel injection system, which, according to the manufacturer's promotional habits, is likely a domestic system. If it were Honda's PGM-FI, there would be no reason not to promote it. However, even with a domestic electronic fuel injection system, the stability and performance are quite good.
As an experienced motorcycle rider with several years of experience on the CBF150s, this Honda bike can reach a top speed of around 115 to 120 km/h, but the actual speed depends on various conditions. On flat highways, I can easily hit 105 km/h when I throttle, but in mountainous areas or windy conditions, it drops to around 95 km/h. There are many factors affecting speed, such as bike weight: adding a cargo box slows it down significantly; engine condition: well-maintained engines accelerate faster, while older ones don’t perform as well; and road conditions: speed limits in urban areas prevent reaching full potential. Sometimes, I go test riding with friends in the suburbs, and with no extra load, it can indeed approach 120 km/h. But safety is the priority—I recommend focusing more on handling and braking rather than chasing speed. For daily commuting, I prefer riding at around 80 km/h—it’s fuel-efficient and reliable. After all, the CBF150s shines in durability, not high-speed performance.
