Going a bit off topic here, but being a part of this forum, I was not expecting the highlighted bold part. You don't like it, leave it. Don't hate it, unless ofcourse you were pissed off by the bike's price, maintenance costs and troubles like it came directly from Ice Age. Even then why so hatred, leave it to the people who enjoy it. I had a Honda but sold it off after 4 months and came to Bajaj. I like its growl, the harsh engine. All soft, ultra smooth doesn't tinker my senses. Royal Enfields are perhaps the best touring bike in the country, but hey hey, they too don't have all the smoothness, but still people love it.

Someone's cry is other's laughter.

And yup, I do agree with your qoute. Each bike is made to its own specs. Performance doesn't really matter with cc of the engine. Heck, a Moto Series config 125cc bike can outperform a lot of higher cc bikes. My point here is, its how the manufacturer has made it. CBR150R and P200NS are in different leagues and there is no comparison. P200NS on paper should be able to get ahead of 150R but there is a wide possibility per specs that CBR may have a higher top speed.

Correct brother,aprilia 125cc can do 160-170 so cc is not matter here..for example even starcity can over take thunderbird...

Yup, i'm from indonesia. Nice to know you all! The color is called X-treme Red.

Hi, thanks ! Yups, i have planning to add some mods, from tire changing, muffelr racing, and add piggiyback to manipulate the ECU. And there are so many aftermarket product for CBR 150, international or local products.
I still use the stock tires, which is IRC ROAD WINNER RX-01 IRC Road Winner RX-01 Tires - RevZilla and plan to change to Brigdestone Battlax S20.

I still don't know how to keep the helmet properly in the bike. The helmet wire is straching my left side tail body.


[QUOTE=mulli84;915396]OOT little bit. In indonesia CB150 already sold. It have Prolink suspension, minus 02 sensor, open loop, Starter kick, Injection PGM-FI, bigger torque than CBR150, Price tag $2200, CBR150 $3200.

Re: Honda CBR 150 R

Hey bro..what is ur bikes power and torque in Indoneasia? Here 18bhp and 12.5nm..

Just like India version. The difference is only the colors, stock tires, and shutter key i think.
And in indonesia, Honda uses semi syntetic oil for CBR150.

Anyone had issue with fork?. Mine is very hard. It feels hard/stiff to make turns. Dont know it is normal or some problem with my bike, ASC guys say it is normal only. But i cant believe. I have this problem since my purchase. Each time when i take to ASC, the issue disappears, but again it shows up soon. why is that? What should i do?

ITs a Honda bike thread and there is nothing wrong about free expression. As a CBR owner, I accept its cons. I hate Bajaj for certain reasons and Im not telling any lies. Everybody knows that. Im not replying to all the members who bash CBR150R. You chose Bajaj because it suited you. And you can bash Honda if u want to!

[QUOTE=theironhorse99;915227]Hold on to your horses dude...I meant CBR150R, I think the fact that it was typo was evident....

I was wrong. You are still like "old wine in the new bottle"
Going through your language it is pretty sure that you are a teenager.
Run your bike safely, son no more replays



Any one had changed to 250r's switch gears?
& cost?

I enquired abt the installation of CBR 250 R switchgear onto the 150R during my recent service. The mechanic told that the 250 switchgear wont fit 150. He said that he will install some other switchgear with the pass light and engine kill for 1500. I said Ill decide and left. IS it real that the 250 wont fit in?

Could you pls. post some pics of your machines ???



Are you a CBR owner ??? I think you are an R15 fan, and coming here to put only negatives against CBR ....

You are a hardcore pulsar fan ... If CBR is not a good bike compared 200NS, then why you are keeping it ... Just sell it and buy another pulsar ... I had used a pulsar since 2007-12 ... I am not degrading the bike, but the truth is it made a lot of headaches for me ... Once I rode it to a hill station and after 30 mins the oil seal melt and started oil leakage ... If you want, I can post the picture for proof ...

So don't say that your 200NS is the only best bike in this world ... Can you proove that 200NS is having good breaks and fuel economy than CBR and R15 ???
P200NS is a bike with carburator and CBR and R15 are having FI ... If carburator is giving more power and fuel efficiency, then why yamaha and honda is wasting money for FI ??? I can stop my bike safely without skiding even @ 80 kmph speed ... So avoid posting of foolish comments like this ...

P200NS is having 3 spark plugs ... It is not a big point ... KTM Duke is having only one spark plug and it is more better bike than 200NS in all aspects ... And both bikes are manufacturing in same factory ... If triple spark plug is an amazing thing, then why bajaj is not providing it in Duke ???

Hello everyone!

I took a test ride of the R15 and found it very uncomfortable. My wrists started to pain only after five minutes of riding. Probably it is a matter of just getting used to it, but if this pain doesn't go? So I am not sure about buying the R15. Then I thought about the CBR 150R. I have a couple of questions regarding the bike:

1) Is the riding posture comfortable? Any wrist pain or back ache?
2) Is the torque manageable in city traffic?
3) Is the fairing, a problem in heavy traffic?
4) What about the maintenance of the bike? Is it too heavy on the pocket? Can you please give the details of maintenance and cost of spare parts?
5) If I service it regularly and do not abuse it, will it last for at least six years? I am a college student and I cannot afford to change my bike on a frequent basis and so I need something that would last long.

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

1). For the first some days you will have wrist pain and back pain, but it will go away after some days as neevarp16 said.


2). In city traffic you have to accelerate slightly more than normal commuter. You can feel some kind of lack of power in first and second gear compared to 150CC commuters . Bcoz, CBR is a high revving bike and the full power comes above 7-8K rpm from 4 th gear ... In 6th, it will FLY ...

3). For the first few days, it will not be easy to flick the bike in heavy traffic ... you need 2-3 days to get used with the seating position and the position of footpegs. Its a full faired bike and the headlamp and RVMs will not turn with your handle. So it need more space compared to commuters.

4). It not much costly. I have done three services till now. CBR is using synthetic oil, and it costs Rs.504/ litre. You need to pay only for this in first four services. Check the airfilter also at the time of service and change it if required. Cost for this is Rs.325. Other expense is for top-up of coolant, chain lubrication, top-up of brake fluid etc. Coolant cost Rs. 270/ltr and you can use more than 10 times by 1 ltr of coolant. Brake fluid top-up costs 30-40 Rs only. I didn't experience any other maintenance till now.

5). Try to use in a gentle manner. Don't use it for stunting and do the proper service and preventive maintenance at right time. Love your bike . It will not create any headache for you. I am using this bike since April 2012 and still I am happy with it.

One of my cousin is having a 2006 November model honda shine ( taken together with my first bike). Still he is using the same without any major repair. He changed the sproket 2 times and once chain. Eventhough there are some minor problems like vibrarion ,but it is a good bike till now at 1,38000+kms in Odo ...

CBR will give you a big bike feeling and it is really an EYE CATCHER ... If you pay 1.4 lakhs for this, it will not be a waste ...


( Above mentioned points are from my personal experience only )

the temperature is rising guys looks the pusars are racing against Ceebers
Well hi all
I am a Proud RTR 180 owner
and Cbr 150r and pulsar 200ns are both great bikes
i have ridden both.
I respect your experience but according to me RTR can out perform any other bike in initial acceleration but Cbr is a gem it is smooth like butter past 100. Actually its a legendary bike
which is not meant to be compared with any other bike.
I want to get one but my dad says its overpriced so had to go with Apache 180 and truly its great bike for city.Giving me a milage of 40 and when ripped returs 33 which is great.
Had clocked 131 on odo.
For pulsar, would say its on experimental stage and wouls take years to compete with Hondas and TVS

You mean to say 10 years of experiment!! We all know its a never ending topic & every machine is a winner in its owner's heart.
