Honda is a familiar name to all of us and the CBR 150R was one of the most awaited product since it was first showcased at the auto expo this year. Well, the wait is over as Honda has finally launched the lovely 150cc sibling of its CBR 250 variant. The bike looks pretty much the same, with a smaller engine and overall build off course, the forks are thinner and the muffler is also smaller. Apart from this it is almost the same and looks exceptionally beautiful. The CBR150R comes with a 150cc four stroke engine that puts out 17.6 Bhp of peak power at 10,500 rpm and 12.66 Nm of peak torque at 8,500 rpm. It also features a four valve head in a dual over head camshaft layout, liquid cooling, fuel injection and is mated to a six speed manual transmission. While conventional telescopic front forks do duty at the front, the CBR150R features a gas filled mono shock suspension layout at the rear.

Low seat height will be an advantage for smaller riders

The bike comes in four color options :

1) Vibrant Orange
2) Black and Candy Palm Green
3) Black and Pearl Sunbeam White
4) Sports Red

Many would ask its credibility over the direct rival the Yamaha R15. Well, to be precise for our readers, the CBR 150R is a perfect combination of racing style and substance as well as ergonomically more comfortable making it a better option for daily riders. Having said that, we do not by any chance put it straight above the R15 as it is also a very potent machine and it is very early to comment on this.
