The Honda CB150X Custom Blue is our 149cc adventure-touring bike in a one-off bright-blue build: full custom bodywork, a tall touring windscreen and gold upside-down forks. Same easy 14 HP engine as the standard CB150X, with a look nobody else on the island is riding.

Upright, calm and light — the CB150X is the easiest way to cover real distance on Bali without a big bike. The windscreen keeps the wind off your chest on the bypass, the suspension has genuine travel for broken village roads, and the manual gearbox is forgiving. The engine is a 150: fine for two-up around town, unhurried on long climbs.

For riders who want a proper touring position for a week of exploring — Ubud, Sidemen, the north coast — and who like being noticed at the café stop. Works as a first manual bike. Not the choice if you want speed; look at the CB500X for that.

Two helmets and a phone holder are included, with free delivery within 20 km. Optional insurance, a new helmet, an action camera and moto armour can be added to your request.

This is a custom-built bike, so we ask for a bit more care with the bodywork than on a stock CB150X, and the price is a step above the standard black and green ones. If the look does not matter to you, the standard CB150X is cheaper for the same ride.
