I own a Bullet Electra 5S and a yamaha FZ-S. To answer your other question, Yes, I'll definitely go for the CBR150R if I'll buy a motorcycle of upto 200cc capacity because I just love the whole package. The only reason for me for not going for this baby CBR will be the need for a more powerful motorcycle (250cc or above), and not the absence of some switches!

Both my current motorcycles have an engine kill switch and the pass light switch, and I use them (because they are there). BUT, I would enjoy both my motorcycles equally without any of these switches. Incidentally, my Bullet's pass light switch stopped working more than couple of years back, and I never bothered to get it fixed. As I mentioned in my previous post, I use the hi/low beam buttons to simply flash the light to the vehicle ahead. To be absolutely honest, I sometimes find the engine kill switch a bit irritating to use. I mean, you first turn on the key and then turn on the engine kill switch, and then finally press the starter button!!

I hope I have answered the questions to your satisfaction. If there was any other reason to ask, please let me know.

owners, is there a problem with this coz i have seen many 250r owners getting pissed
and if i were in there shoes may be i would have felt the same

@ Satellite kid

Hey ya . I just wanted to know what bike do you ride . And i din't mean anything regarding the CBR 150 r . But anyways , thanks for providing a detailed information

I also thought of complaining, and later thought let it be. But now I think I will complaint so that other buyers will not face these problems.

Will post more snaps later

back to home...

Hiii guys... just returned from office trip ..two days back

i am sorry to every one inthis thread as i did not contribute much to the thread, except in the begginning
today i took my bike for checking its performance in hilly terrain,.. means road is full of turns , slopes and heights..
i started from chandigarh at eveninh 4 and reached kasauli by 5.18 pm ie total 65km which is full of turns ans curves..

oh god.. riding this bike is an experience which i cannot discribe in words..

its grip in curves is awesome..

total 1135 km completed on this bike...


today i clocked 132 around 8500+ rpm

I completely agree with engine kill switch; its just a minor niggle. But, removing pass switch is not a minor niggle. Pass switch is an important security feature while you ride on highways and while you overtake. Its a form of communication that can avoid unwanted confusion.

People say the switch gear is from Stunner, but Stunner has a pass switch. When a lower bike has pass switch why not on CBR150R which costs 1.3 lacs? Was there a design challenge faced by Honda engineers for this pass switch? When I saw the bike I was really shocked to see there is no pass switch.

Apart from this, the bike is excellent as a whole package. Fit and finish is good, which may not be equal to R15 V2. The bike is one hell of a looker and looks lot better than its elder sibling 250. The front is a stunner.

Hope there will not issues like its elder sibling.

@ SrinathR and yaswanthkonga: The white/black combination actually looks really good in real life pics. Congratulations

Congos to all current owners and upcoming ones as well. The windscreen looks cool which more or less contributes to the look factor.

bro u have done 1135kms in it! great...the bike is simply gorgeous! congrats!
did you test it fuel efficiency? my friend is asking this question...he is very interested in getting this bike..
thanks in advance

Agree with u totally, the pass switch is indeed a very important feature, don't know how could the engineers at honda miss out on such small but important thing.
Even the Ninja 250 doesn't come with a pass switch though it has engine kill switch.

There is a reason why Ninja does not come with a pass switch. Think about it, I will give a minute


I will give you a hint DRL (daytime running lights)


Still wondering why?

Long explanation : Ninja is always on low beam. And the low high beam switch will be sufficient. Pass indicator is useful only when you are not running you main beam ( and ninja's is always on ).

the Black-White CBR150R looks great in pics man! I'm now confused between this and the Red-White..

Sounds like you had a blast! A few questions:

• 1135km completed, are you done with your first service? Would like to know the costs incurred and any difference in feel of the bike.
• 132 @ 8500+rpm! That's awesome! Was this sitting upright or crouched?

Great to see happy cbr150r owners An important question, has any of the owners faced engine heating issues so far? Asking this because excessive heating in new engine happens many times and some other motorcycle owners are experiencing this. Please share.

Most new engines will heat up because of extra friction from the parts bedding in.. That's what the run-in period is for! i'm sure the CBR150R won't be any different. But yeah, lets hear from owners. My R15 used to fry my legs in traffic!

OT: Did not follow you. Given the Ninja has it's low beam always on, how does it eliminate the need for a pass switch?

I mean, I can understand the pass switch is not a necessity as such, but it definitely is a boon on the road and using the lo-hi beam toggle switch is not that instinctive while asking for a pass.
