          Both are good bikes. R15 feels more sharper on look but a bit of pain for the pillion. CBR on the other hand can fit anyone if he/she wanted to live with it. Both are great machines in the same segments.

          Few notes:

          1. 150R doesn't have a Kill switch and Pass light.
          2. 150R has a bit better top end power than R15, but on Indian roads that hardly matters.
          3. Sitting comfort is better on CBR, but still people has completed several Leh-Ladah trips on R15.

          Take both the TD and feel what's your need. Ask yourself for the answer.

            Hey

            This most probably is my second post at this forum :P But ive being reading a lot on these forums.
            Since I faced the same confusion, ill just share my points as to why I selected one over the other.

            1) Pillion seat comfort - R15 v2 has nothing to hold on to for the pillions, they have to hold on to you. Think about them when you accelerate and suddenly apply breaks, there is no confidence for pillions, they stay scared for the entire journey
            2) Comfort - The posture or leaning of the rider on a CBR 150 is better than R15
            3) Low end torque - R15 has better
            4) High end torque - CBR 150 wins but not by a great margin
            5) Short distance rides - R15 wins, you get style, an aggressive look, speed
            6) Long distance rides - CBR 150 wins, this is a high revving bike, so don't feel shy to rev it. you will not realize when you even reach 100 Km/hr, its that smooth ...If you cross 10k you will hear a different engine sound that tell you "GO GO GO"
            7) Looks - Subjective, for me I liked the tank of CBR and the compact fairings

            So depending on above points make your selection, fuel economy for CBR in my case is, in 100/- I can travel 50 Kms easily.

                Took around 40-45 mins to get it done. The service supervisor said that the replacement part costs around Rs. 1400/-, but its free as its company recall.

                  Can you tell what part they changed exactly ? What's the use? Thanks in advance

                    Hey guys,

                    I recently went for the change. It seems they are changing the starter relay switch. I asked the guy at the SVC, he was telling that HONDA had conducted a user survey and had found problems with the starter relay switch over time. And as this bike has no kick starter. They took no chances and updated their starter relay mechanics it seems.

                    details here


                    But my bike feels normal, no changes, starts in a click as usual.

                    Enjoy !

                    ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

                    Hi guys, my bike recently developed this strange sound.

                    It happens when I rapidly release the the clutch with acceleration.
                    comes from the wheel / chain area. First I thought it was the chain, so I went to the svc and tightened the chain.
                    But the sound is still there, has reduced but there.

                    Where does this come from ? Its just that instant, when you rapidly accelerate, TAK like the chain suddenly starts pulling something....
                    Can it be from the sprockets ? The guy from the SVC says its from the wheel rubber (I have no idea what that means !).

                    HELP !

                      Anybody here own a Orange 150R in Mumbai/MH that has a reg plate # 5994? If yes do you get it serviced at VJ Honda? Please PM or quote this reply if anybody knows the bike/rider.
                      Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                          Hey guys, I happened to bump into a commuter when his bike stalled right in front of me yesterday. This resulted in a scratch on my headlamp (no crack though). Also, my mudguard has acquired a crack on the left side close to where it's bolted. Can we get the headlamp glass changed separately? Or do we have to get the entire headlight assembly changed? Please enlighten me about the prices of the same (and the mudguard as well)! Thanks!

                            You cannot buy the headlamp cover separately, you will have to buy the entire headlamp assembly which will set you back by 3000rs. And the mudguard will be around 800-900rs max. The above cost are of cbr250r so for 150 it should be around the same price bracket.

                            Cheers,
