Honda CBR150R

About Honda CBR150R

The technology game in the Indian market has recently been upped by one of the Japanese manufacturers and the company has won enough brownie points to help the sales of its product lineup shoot through the roof. Honda, the global motorcycle giant, in a bid to showcase its own technological prowess couldn't have waited for too long to counter the move. The bike maker recently imported the CBR150R into the country to give the Indian expert class racers an opportunity to ride the supersport bike in the Honda One Make Race. The Honda CBR150R is a 150cc 4-stroke sports bike which is a part of the Honda CBR series manufactured by APHonda. Though the company has homologated the CBR150R only for racing purpose in our country as of now, the chances of the bike hitting the domestic market somewhere in the future cannot be entirely denied. The Honda CBR150R is powered by a 150cc (149.4cc) 4-stroke carburetted single cylinder 4 valve DOHC engine with 11.0:1 compression and CDI ignition, mated to a 6-speed wet clutch manual transmission. It produces 18.98 PS at 10,500rpm and 13.5Nm of torque at 8.500rpm. The engine is water cooled with an electric fan that turns on automatically when needed. The bike has a 10 liter fuel tank which will cost RM19.20 to fill up at current RON97 fuel prices. Front suspension uses telescopic shocks while the rear is a monoshock. The meter panel has a speedometer, an RPM meter, a fuel gauge and a temperature meter. Brakes are discs at both the front and rear, sized 276mm and 220mm respectively.This bike uses analog instrument panel which consist of fuel meter, speedometer, revolution per minute meter, temperature meter and signal, high beam and gear status light indicator. The CBR150R was first introduced in 2005 and since then, there haven't been any considerable changes. This makes the bike feel like it's trailing behind its time. At first glance, the CBR looks surprisingly small, smaller even than the ubiquitous 100cc commuters swarming Indian roads. The twin headlamps along with the slim fairing cannot really be termed as a good exercise in aesthetics. The lack of a digital instrument console and a rather drab looking analogue unit ensures that the style aficionados will not be particularly enthused. Even with the full fairing, the bike looks very skinny.
