@martin u r correct people here think the old version is still on sale which is not the case as u wuld know the CBR 150 has been replaced globally by Honda with the new one

in indonesia there's so many cbr150 carb version..
rumors says it has 18hp, 20hp, even 26HP!!
the truth it's only got 17hp, so this Fi version actually an increase in power, but decrease in weight..
the different in performance is, the Fi version accelerate better (due Fi) than the old cbr (which lighter)..but the top end is reverse, the carb cbr DO faster (and you'll feel like someone pulls your body behind!), but the Fi doesn't..
but don't forget that the gearing are slighty different
imagine, the heavier Fi use 43T rear sprocket (which will makes the bike accelerate slower) and the lighter carb cbr use 44T rear sprocket..
that's why i say you better change the rear sprocket to 44T (actually there's some people in thailand change it to 45T!)

oh so the bike which i had seen on you tube was the older version.And what are the changes that honda made to the newer version that resulted in increase in weight


and going by the facts on this thread i "think"it can do 130+ with some effort which according to me is quite satisfactory and it should be able to cruise at 120 all day without any problem.

Not impressed with plastics quality

I do not like the quality of the parts used in the bike, especially the plastics. Already the cbr250r plastics is sub-standard(IMO), the 150r sibling feels even cheaper! However the advantage with this would be the proportionately low cost spare parts. Otherwise the overall review is GOOD even here in Aizawl, Mizoram(my home town). Handling is pretty good, comfortable pillion seat is an added advantage.

Its a tough one but If i were to buy a 150cc ride, I would probably go for the R15 owing to its better build quality!!!

i don't know which one you see..here i'll help you to find out
pics i attached, the left and middle are carb cbr's speedo (middle is the last carb version) the right one is the Fi version
i've seen the Fi cbr runs 165 on youtube, i also seen it struggling to hit 152 (also on youtube)..it's all just a matter of road & wind condition, also the rider's weight..(don't forget those number are speedo indicated)

the increased weight in fi version are because there are more parts than the carb version..
example, sensors, injectors, (assume the throttle body weight = carburetor weight), bigger rectifiers, bigger fairings...
but the most visible parts which increase the weight area the longer swingarm, bigger fuel tank (the old cbr use 10lt tank), wider wheels and tyres..

130+ indicated? i believe it can..
just do some little crouching..
come on man, my modified RTR which runs true 123km/h got passed easily with this bike

Thanks for the info bro ,u have cleared my doubt and going by ur pics the last one i think i saw the fi version on youtube.
Thanks again

really? seems the plastics quality similiar to cbr250..
yaa, it's low quality, because the honda want those plastic parts are recycleable..

maybe you'll choose cbr150 if it comes to performance matter..hahaha

so, when will you buy this bike?

i will buy this one in my college days currently iam prep for aieee and if luk favours and i got admission in any nit i will definately buy it u know first i want to set a line for my carrer.And this duratiom is almost three to four monthes and till then iam sure ill hav a good review of bike.it is the first bike which arose the feeling in me that i want this bike otherwise i was almost set on lml star 200 4t.And i must say i luv this bike and its a killer.

I own the cbr250r right now, that is why I said what I said about the quality. Regarding performance, it will only be a marginal difference even if cbr150r proves to be faster, quicker or whatever.
The quality of the material used is actually disappointing, substandard considering the price you pay!!! I felt the same regarding the cbr250r but can't help it as the competition for it is way beyond my budget.
I very much like the look, the feel, the handling of the bike and the fact that its gives a good FE.

yaa, it's quite disappointing actually since honda is a big company, how can the plastic material in such a low quailty, even the price are so high..
even ninja got a better plastic quality..

hii
sorry for not being there in ownership's thread for so many days.. actually right now i am not with my bike. i came to jodhpur for some office work for two weeks.. im missing the bike badly..as to day i went to nearest show room here in jodhpur and i asked them for test drive ma bad luck they did'nt provide....

coming to your question..(s)

ans-1:totally i have covered 860 km onthis bike.

ans-2:both were good for a person weighing 50-80+/-5 being my weight 60 i fount its good.

ans-3: during running in period i never let any one to sit behind me after that... my friends who sat behind me sait good comfort..

ans-4: first servicing done at 750 km(i have it done at 739 preciceley) engine oil changed... its synthetic which is used for 250.. the operator checked every part meticulosly.. chain lube.. every thing taken care of.


ans-4: previously i have platina(my fathers) which doesnt have any kill switch.. i never bothered about this switch.... if any one says that for this cost they have to provide kill switch.. then wait till the next batch. where all these feed back is taken care of.. the honda dealer listened to my feed back care fully and he said he will forward he same..

btw what FE do you get,.,.,

ha haaa....
thanks for complement... it was taken by my friend whois riding KTM parallel to me...

I get 30-34Kmpl from my CBR250R. I am sorry if I gave you the impression that I own the 150cc sibling. I said good FE for the cbr150r based on feedback of the two owners here in the thread and cbr150r owners here in Aizawl where I currently came for my holidays
