Honda Click 160 

I am glad you didn't buy the budget Honda Lead 125 and took people's advise and went for the Honda Click 160. The new Honda Giorno 125 (Vespa with Honda reliability) would have been a better motorbike than the Honda Lead. Pearl White is the best colour especially for being seen at night. You are correct. The ABS has Gold writing while the Combo has Silver writing. I believe that for the 2024 Honda Click 160 only comes with ABS. I think the Combo brakes are well adequate as per the Click 125 and ABS is not necessary on such a small motorbike. I totally agree that the old simple key is better than the modern keyless. I totally agree regarding the "no kickstart". There should be Kickstart on the Honda 160 because the battery does go flat if you do not ride it for a while because the battery gets drained by the remote key system. Most farang seem to buy the PCX, probably for status. I prefer the Honda Click because: 1) The seat is not so stepped so can carry three people on it (even 4; a kid standing on the floor pan) 2) The angle of the forks are steeper on the Click than the PCX so a tighter turning circle for filtering through stationery traffic. 3) The Click is narrower and shorter so again easier to filter through stationery traffic jams. 4) You can step into the click which is much better for the females when wearing a dress or skirt 5) The floor pan of the click means you can store shopping (bottles of water etc) on the floor. 6) Because of the floor pan, you have a hook in the middle and can carry shopping bags. 7) Too much plastic panels on the PCX. 8) PCX 160 is 24,000 baht more than the Click 160 If you did want to upgrade the rear suspension, the shock absorber is the YSS G340 for 2350 baht. That information is because of my research when the Thai secretary bought one in July 2023 with Combo brakes (not ABS) because she could not justify the extra 7,500 baht and thinks there is less to go wrong. She has not upgraded the rear suspension because our combined weight is only 130 kilos. Saying that I have not been to Thailand yet to test it but often rented a Click 125 when on trips.

Lovely bike Les, my wife has a 125 and it's totally reliable. I'm a bit puzzled as to why people seem to pick up on the fact it has a single shock. Most modern full sized motorcycles are single shock and have been for many years. The number of shocks is irrelevant, it's the spring rate and damping etc that matter. If 1200cc superbikes are ok with one shock the Click will be just fine.

Hi Les, I've got a Click 160 that I bought last year at Valentine's Day. I rode down to Phuket and Krabi from Pattaya (twice) on the stock suspension and upgraded to the stiffest YSS front and rear available. The upgrade made the ride nice and stiff, especially the front end, which was constantly bottoming out at high speed when I hit potholes. The rear doesn't sag at all, even with over 200kg on the bike (doubling, I'm not 200kg yet). The cost of the upgrade was 8300 baht. They included a spare spring which you're welcome to if you want to swap it out with your stock spring. I'm going to ride through Rayong on Sunday and can drop it somewhere if you like.

Thanks for the upload. I have just sold my click 125 and looking to upgrade to the 160 but was thinking of going to the ADV because of the suspension (double shocks) and also the wider tires(130/70 rear). I hit a pot hole at 50k which deflated the rear tire and I lost control and laid it on it's side. I upgraded the soft wall Pirelli tire which come standard with the bike and put an after market hard walled tire on and had no further issues. Best of luck and thanks for the great review

Just bought a 160 ABS click and upgrading from a 125. Agree that it's a decent bike with obviously more kick and personally, for what I need it for, I didn’t see the point of paying an extra 30 - 40,000 THB for PCX or ADV. Totally agree with display. Also, bought a Honda Giorno for the eldest daughter and the display is exactly the same. I would also add that the Giorno is a great bike and in all honestly feels a better ride than the 160 especially with a passenger as the seat is bigger and wider. However, and I don’t care in the slightest if I offend any wokies, seems more of a bike for the Girls 5555

They should have had you testing out the design :-). Odd how they manage to overlook basic stuff.

Thx Les for the honest review & glad you got the new bike sorted out eventually. The click is 1 of the most popular bikes as great for local driving & shopping trips etc…plus with more powerful engine it packs a punch now. I’ve rented a few on my trips & they’re fine. Only drawback which you said was just the 1 shock on the back….whereas the PCX/ ADV has 2 shocks but bigger bikes with a bigger price.

Don’t forget when not riding to hit the bottom button on the remote until it blinks red. If you don’t after a long time not riding it will drain your battery. It happened to me.

My prob too with panel display during the day, its barely readable 😅 Yamaha has better panel display, but Honda has much power tho even with backride. 💪🏼

Hey Les. Sound is great. We can even hear the birds in the background. Great video! :)

I always disconnected the the engine stop function on the 125 which is activated when the side stand is down to prevent battery drain when forgetting to turn the key off. Simple process of removing bottom guard to gain access. I'm assuming it's the same on the 160.

Excellent review

Good morning Les... beautiful bike mate 👍👍

Abs works great 👍 160 click light and powerful Just needs a better upgrade the shock at the back 🙄

Les, in Australia a lot of people ride with the lights on for safety reasons during the day. My question is, if you had your lights on during the day would the speedo panel light up making it clearer to see.

thanks Les you have sold me 😁

Do your shoulders block half of the mirrors on this bike? I got an old (2018) Honda Forza 300cc, and my shoulders block a small portion of the mirror.

My girl is 4'11 I'm 5'5. I'm wondering if this would be good for her. I know she could ride it. What I'm concerned is... can she stand up between the floor boards when at a stop? Or hill stop etc? How tall is your wife?

if i have a CBS version, is it worth changing it to a ABS version?

Very nice bike!

Hi Les. I was looking at buying a bike and was thinking about the PCX 160 because it looks great, but it looks a bit cumbersome. I wasn't keen on the Click, because it was a 125, but I like the look of them. Would you say the Click 160 is smaller and lighter than the PCX 160 or about the same??

What size of motor bike can you ride in Thailand and what do you recommend for insurance I only have a uk driving licence which has you know can ride a bike upto 125cc

Hate the single shock

Do you know the price difference between the click 160 and the ADV 160

Honda click 160 dual abs or only front?😊

Bro i wanted that one can you send me one in the philippines 😅😅😅😅😂😂❤❤❤

You need a Brighton flag on the antenna…

How much did the bike cost in total with ABS? Or did i miss the price in the vid?

How do you find it with the 1 shock on the back
