By refinement i mean engine vibrations at low and high RPM's felt in the footpegs as well as the handlebars,i am asking this this because during long rides we do not want vibrations creeping in.Some say CBR150R is more refined and some say R15 is more refined. i personally have ridden the r15 which i felt is slightly lesser refined than the FZ cbr i just had a short test ride and it was very smooth in the low rpms.

I too had a TR of both long time back and feel R15 is more refined. It also depends on individual choice and feel. I think new bikes are more refined and good in terms of everything because Yamaha is keep improving quality due to lots of numbers on road. I personally feel Its kind of product which is never going to die in coming time.

I meant to say R15 on both low & high speed and CBR150R on low speed only. Both of them have very different seating position long distance rides on R15 would be uncomfortable seeing Indians road conditions where CBR has advantage n both case, seating position is relaxed compared to R15 plus it screams very well after 6K RPM and it red line till 13K if I'm not wrong. Some says SOHC engines are good during long run if vibs are concern but I never seen anyone saying R15 feels stressed or any vibs if ridden for long.

Re: First Impression: Honda CBR150R Review

Would you suggest CBR150R as an upgrade from an Apache rtr180?? As nowadays i hardly use my bike in the cities.at highways the apache's vibes and cruising capability at highspeeds are a bother for long distances.Which is why i am looking for Vibe free ride and thats is why put fourth this question about the refinement of these bikes.I do not feel that i require a higher capacity machine.

Nope Never.The build quality is horrible.Check out the expert reviews on the 1st 3 pages you will get to know.I would say something like Pulsar AS which has a good upright position

Re: First Impression: Honda CBR150R Review

everyone says that the build quality is top notch as with all HONDA bikes except for the switch gear which looks cheap on a premium product like this one.I am okay with the switch gears as i wont be riding this much in city traffic as i have a car for my intra city commute.i am looking to buy a bike for long distance touring only.I am not a fan of bajaj and i dont want to buy a bajaj product.

yar their is no such thing as poor build quality in cbr..just in comparison with r15 it lacks behind in some department. ...my perspective on question if u buy an r15 u will deemed to sell it in a year for comfort reason seen many such cases where as cbr with bigger tank better wind protection smoother engine and ergonomics are such beautifully designed that will put a smile after every long journey u will do...test drive it and calmly take to good speeds u will be amazed by the little cbr...and dont bring pulsar in ur equation...

Re: First Impression: Honda CBR150R Review

Hi guys. Have been reading all the CBR threads lately after researching 2-3 other bikes. I don't mind the lower switchgear quality, lack of some features etc. But I don't know how much I will get to use the bike. And for this reason, I want to know if CBR150 might get updated by mid of next year. Any idea?

I saw this photo on Google where the switchgear of 150R has been shown alongside that of CBR1000.
