It would not be right to comment without taking a proper test ride.

I wouldn't say that--

Have rode all three & also the cbr250, the 150R is definitely more planted & comfortable on corners

A full blown race track review will give exact data & feedback soon

That's what I'm dying for...! Will anyone...anyone..help with this pls? Let me see, if i can see any 150 R's this weekend in Kari..

I agree with u when u say its overpriced but performance-wise
it doesnt disappoint... Dont get misguided by the torque figure
even at low revs there is no lack of punch..

R15 though a good bike doesnt provide a
1) Decent pillion seat
2) relaxed riding postion
3) DOHC (to which many would say in a 4 Valve setup is no better than a SOHC )

If you dont mind these disadvantages then u can go for the R15 as its economical buy..

But, dude I suggest you take a test ride before u make a choice...

I test rode the CBR 150 and I liked it so I went for it..

Coz ultimately all that matters is that u derive riding pleasure from your machine not these facts and figures

Hearty congrats to all 150cc CBR owners

i am waiting for a test drive as the dealers here are not offering any at the moment..................
congrats for the new ride

thanks.. but do take a test ride before u make a decison

Info for the people in chennai,
there is an orange cbr which i saw today in MPL HONDA Mandaveli...looked so hot!

Checked out the Honda CBR150R today at a showroom.. can't believe that it is priced Rs. 10K-15K over the Yamaha R15.. found the seat cover material and plastic quality same as the CBR250R. The painted surface looks ok, just that the black plastics seems to have got the cost cutting treatment.

The plastic around the speedo console looks better on the CBR250R.. the footpeg + rubbers seems out of place on a 1 Lakh Plus bike (even the footpegs on the Yamaha SS 125 are classy and operate with a click).

Overall no where near the levels of fit and finish set by the R15 and the KTM 200 Duke.

What is unbelievable is that at Rs. 1.30-1.35 Lakhs you don't get an Engine Kill Switch or a High beam flasher, plus the switchgear looks to have been picked from the CBF Stunner..!!

The only saviour could be it's ride experience.

Well Said

+1 .. Well said .

Cheers S.V.Prasad

Well asked But you won't get an appropriate answer


@ both

+100 For your Questions ..

Hey Guys . If you talk about the Engine Kill switch ,High Beam Flasher , Switch Gear and Switches are like same as the Stunner means , Those "2" Owners who owns the GREAT CBR 150 r and other CBR 150 Lovers will again repeat these Stuffs ..

1. It has DOHC Blah Blah Blah Blah & they say these things din't disappoint them and it is product from HONDA and Finally they say take a test ride for checking the Low end blah blah blah ..

But , they won't give appropiate answer for your queries ( i.e why no Engine Kill switch etc )

On the hole , there is no use for asking these questions in this Thread ...

Cheers S.V.Prasad

BeTrayed, what most you have done in this thread is "+1" to any post that tries to show the cbr in a bad light. It seems you have a keen eye on this thread and just waiting for any such post. True, without the engine kill switch and the pass light switch the cbr150r owners have become handicapped and they won't be able to enjoy or ride properly their motorcycles as much as others do. Moreover, nobody other than honda itself can tell you why the bike is missing these features, please ask them and let us know what they tell you. Even the owners agree that the cbr150r is unnecessarily expensive but still they went for it because they like how it ride or for whatever reason they had. No, the "2" owners will not talk about the dohc or any positive about the cbr because for you it would seem like the act of desperation. But it's a pitty the way you pointed at the two owners. I guess you are happy that they have wasted their money on an overpriced motorcycle.

And guess what, I own a Yamaha. May be moderators can lock this thread because this thread tends to loose its purpose thanks to the above post. Healthy comparisons are never a problem but some people just want to take a dig at the motorcycle in discussion.

Not just the "missing" switches, but the finish of the black plastics, foot pegs, seat cover material used and over all fit is not befitting that of a product which costs Rs. 1.30-1.35 lakhs (CBR150R) & Rs. 1.60-1.85 lakhs (CBR250R).

A "Premium" product should also give the "look + touch + feel" of money well spent.


Isn't that why we have all registered here..? i.e to discuss about bikes?

I too am doing the same.

Yes payeng, that is true My problem wasn't your post but the way BeTrayed replied to it and that is why I quoted his post. That wasn't needed. I absolutely agree on cbr being overpriced though.
