Honda CBR 150 R

Revolutionary technology is the name of the game. It combines powerful performance, the largest horsepower available to 4-stroke engines in the country with cleaner, reliable and better power generation. 

While the constant velocity carburetor, previously found only in large capacity bikes, ensures optimum fuel combustion and increased engine performance, there's no fear of overheating thanks to the liquid-cooled system and thermostat-controlled cooling fan. Its automatic cooling sensor control makes it a first among sports models. 

The 4-level adjustable mono-shock suspension provides dynamic, responsive handling even in the most challenging road conditions. Its highly-durable silent chain promises to save you a bundle on maintenance and fuel.

                               Features

Powerful High Performance Engine

CBR150R utilizes new 4-stroke engine technology with Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC), 4 valves, 6 gears and manual clutch, which delivers perfect combustion, 10,500 revolution per minute (rpm), excellent performance and maximum horsepower among the 4-stroke models in Malaysia. 

Liquid Cooled System with Electric Fan

A first in sport model, the liquid cooled system of CBR150R is controlled by an automatic censor. Circulating coolant and a thermostat-controlled fan provide efficient cooling effect to prevent engine from overheating especially during heavy traffic and maintain the right engine temperature for optimum engine performance. 

Constant Velocity Carburetor

CBR150R features an advanced Constant Velocity Carburetor, previously found only in big capacity bikes, to ensure perfect combustion and further boost engine performance. 

Silent Chain

Deliver quieter performance with 2-3 times higher durability compared to conventional silent chain. It also saves on maintenance fee in the long run.

Top in Fuel Saving

Honda's leading 4-stroke technology provides cleaner, more reliable and greater power delivery over a broad range of engine speed. It is also highly fuel efficient and more durable. 

Top in Fuel Saving

Top in Environment Conservation

Complies with strict EURO II level 4 emission standard. 

Secondary Air Supply System (S.A.S.S.)

Channels filtered air into exhaust gases in the exhaust pipe for cleaner emission. 

Honda Evolutional Catalyzing System (H.E.C.S.)

Changes exhaust gas through catalyzing conversion by utilizing two pieces of Metal Catalytic Converter and Catalyzer in the heat tube, same as found in automobiles.

Crankcase Emission Control System (C.E.C.S.)

Redirect emission gas to flow back to filter and into engine room for perfect combustion without emitting gas to the environment.

                                Styling

Four Diamond Eyes Identity Design

Unique diamond eye design combining four high performance lights raises safety level when riding at night. Side mirror handles are adhered to the windshield as big bikes do. 

Four Eyes Ring Tail Lights

Round built-in tail lights with separated signal lights further enhance the sporty look.

Stylish Speedometer

Brightly illuminated metering cluster with clear display of speed, rpm, fuel, lights and engine temperature at one glance.

 Monoshock Suspension

4-level adjustable monoshock suspension offers more dynamic and responsive road handling even in challenging road conditions.

               

      Safety & Security 

Shutter Key System

Anti-theft design greatly enhances bike security for total peace of mind

Pentagon Frame

Designed with detailed emphasis on precise reinforcement for stability and reduced riding stress to offer better ride comfort.

Front and Rear Disc Brakes

Front disc brake utilizes a rigid dual piston caliper with 276mm wide front disc, while rear disc brake features a single piston caliper and 220mm wide disc, to ensure powerful controlled braking.

            Honda CBR150R Features And Specifications

Talking about the bike’s technical details the CBR 150R is powered by a light and compact DOHC 150cc engine which develops 17.6 BHP @ 10,500 RPM of peak power and peak torque of 12.66 Nm @ 8500rpm which is ideal for both highway and city riding condition. The performance is quite impressive but what adds more to this bike’s performance is CBR 150R’s twin tubular frame which increases the stability of the bike and the liquid cooling and PGM-FI technology that increases the efficiency of the engine giving maximum output with minimum effort.

It comes with Front & Rear Disc brakes, Mono-Suspension and wide front and rear tubeless tyres for better cornering stability, comfort and excellent braking.

Features wise the bike offers new age graphics with dual layered full body cowling, which improves aerodynamics and performance of the bike, Y shaped Headlight, short pentagonal muffler and digital meter which add to the style quotient of the bike.

On first glance, there's very little to distinguish the baby Ceeber from its elder sibling, the CBR 250R. The CBR 150R comes with black powder-coated alloys and a smaller exhaust muffler. Apart from these elements, it’s difficult to tell the difference between the two unless they're parked side by side. The Honda CBR 150R is also available in distinct colours.

The CBR 150R blends curves, creases and a full fairing making to result in a visually appealing motorcycle, a mini VFR if we may call it that. Swinging a leg over this bike feels rather different than on the CBR 250R. For starters, the 150R feels smaller and narrower. Then you have the slightly more aggressive riding position, which is more committed than the easy ergonomics of the 250R but is still much less radical than the Yamaha R15 Version 2.0. This ergonomic design extends to the pillion seat too, where the pillion-rider gets a decent seat – unlike on the new R15. So could the 150R be the perfect Jekyll-n-Hyde bike, suiting the city as well as the highway? Well, there's a catch.

Thumbing the starter, you'd notice that the controls feel low rent. Cost cutting has meant that Honda had to forage in the parts bin of the Stunner instead of using the 250R's switchgear. While the quality is still good, the switchgear simply doesn't live up to the premium nature of this motorcycle. The 150 cc motor feels very refined at every point of the rev range, even more so than the 250R, which gets a little buzzy at the top. Refinement apart, you'll notice the need to change more gears to get going and also to keep the engine boiling on big revs to get a real move on.

That's due to the fact that the 150R produces its 17.5 bhp of power at a high 10,500 rpm while the peak torque is quite average at 12.66 Nm generated at 8,500 rpm. While shifting gears on the six-speed gearbox is a delight with slick and precise shifts, the motorcycle needs to be really revved for any kind of performance, which makes it not very suited for the city, especially with a pillion aboard, which could slow things down quite a bit. Handling, however, is better than the elder sibling's, with a reasonably stiff set up on the monoshock rear and telescopic front suspension. The ride is pliant too.

All in all, the 150R is a motorcycle that could have been a decent buy, if not for its current price. Consider this: you want a track machine that's committed, you have the cheaper Yamaha R15 V2.0; you want a street brawler, you put in another Rs 500 and the far more powerful KTM Duke 200 could be yours. So, what's the point of the 150R, really? Well, we're still wondering. Maybe it’s for those who simply want a different ride.
