  • Re: Honda CBR 150 R

    Hello fellow riders !
    I wanted to know if the accessories like front leg guard, wheel stripes, etc are available now at any Honda Showroom for The baby blade?
    As when i bought the bike, they told me the only accessories available for it is the seat cover ....

        If it's accidental, no, if it's a manufacturing defect, yes.

        Also, I have TVS Eurogrip tyres, and they are pathetic. Lose grip very easily, are the MRF ones better? I have complained to Honda to replace my tyres with MRF ones. My current tyres lose grip if they get even slightly wet. I don't have cash to buy new tyres, Honda has to replace them, I will be twisting their arm as much as I can.

          Mrf ones are more or less the same.

            Are you sure? Mine have lost grip while turning at 10kmph! A patch got wet due to water on road, that patch lost grip, it wasn't even a sharp turn. Which MRF tyres do we get in stock?

                Well, then I stand corrected.
                Mrf are not that bad. They lose grip too when wet but not that much.
                They get the job done albeit in a no choice kind of way.
                If you want to replace the tyres and are low on cash, I would suggest that you save up a bit and replace the rear one with MRF REVZ. The one that comes with the r15. It's way better than the zapper.

                    had it been during delivery they might have changed but after being used i doubt it...and ya mrf r better coz in tvs there is literally no thread in the mid section of the rear tyre :P :P

                    I would suggest some research into "michelin pilot street radial" if u plannin on saving up some for new tyres.

                      I am a tough costumer, if they don't change it, thy will get negative publicity, a few lost sales for sure.

                      The threading is pathetic, I wish I knew this when I bought the bike. Someone had written that they are the same, TVS and MRF, so i didn't bother. But there's a world of difference, zapper q has good reviews. I have been talking to all the owners I see on road, about 10 till now, those with MRF ones are a lot happier. One guy I met on a petrol station, I asked him what tyres does he have, I didn't have to tell him why I am asking, his reply was- "TVS hai na, bahut slip karte hai."

                      To iamdheeraj-

                      No lock is good enough for LS2, a simple bolt cutter and lock is cut in a few seconds. Only safety a cable lock will provide is in secure parking lots, like malls. That will deter people who might just pick up an unlocked helmet. In unprotected parking, you will lose it for sure someday.

                              Dude, if you don't need a bike urgently, I will suggest you wait. Let the new Kairzma ZMR and other bikes comes out, you will have many more options. I bought Cbr150r 4 and a half months ago because I needed a bike urgently and DUke200 and R15 didn't meet my requirements. It's not bad but it's not VFM. They give TVS or MRF tyres, if you get TVS, then you can't have fun as they are pathetic, lose grip easily. I cousin brother rode the Karizma ZMR at auto expo day before yesteray, he said it was good. The looks will grow on people, they are not that bad, of course, CBR looks better...But Karizma will be VFM. Wait for some months, let all the bikes be launched, let the reviews come in...then decide.

                              I have done only one tour, to Korlai from Mumbai, 130kms didn't have much problems. Engine is good and can be driven at 110-120 all day long thanks to the high revving nature. Comfort wise, much better than R15, pillion seat is better than Duke200. But karizma is good for touring too, I hated the looks, and poor lighting... I needed 55w headlight as Mumbai has very poor street lighting.

                              Even if you can, don't, will void the engine warranty. Wait for the extended warranty to finish 5 years, then have fun customizing the performance. If by chance your engine develops some problems, you will be spending a lot. I doubt local mechanics can repair an advanced engine like Cbr150r's.

                              Right now, this is a no brainer. Cbr250, if you can afford it. If you can afford to wait, let Hero and Bajaj launch HX250r and Pulsar400SS. RC200 too if it is launched in India, but I doubt that it will have a similar riding setup, might be more aggressive.
