    • I find it rather unusual none of the mainstream automags
      have bothered to do a roadtest or review of the cbr 150
      till date we have only seen couple of reviews although
      good ones from lesser known websites..


      I wonder what is the reason

      Any thoughts on this anyone

        I am wondering why the NDTV tester have no riding gears ! Also the way they showed the cornering ability is funny!
        Oh,
        NDTV says: RTRs, Karizmas and Pulsars need to up their game..

        ah, I will say, NDTV need to up their own game

          • congratulations to everyone who got this bike, I didn't really liked the headlights in pics but it looks amazing in flesh and is definitely more comfortable than r15 v2.... and overall bike is very good looking....

            • Gimme some opinions!

              Seems to be a great piece of engineering! esp, with the reliability from Honda!

              So, can i go for the cbr 150r for, am looking for a touring machine!
              Is it able to cruise at triple digits w/o engine strain? Owners, please?
              The limiter kicks in @11,500 rpm just within a second after the first shift..And, that's where the fun begins !! ;)

              • Well guys this is my first post. Recently bought a cbr 150r after ridding all the previous premium segments bike cbr 250r, yamaha R15, KTM DUKE 200 and kawa ninja.
                ninja- out of my budget
                Cbr 250r too bulky for me(i am 5.9 weighing 73 kgs) just felt a bit heavier to me and didnt like its top end rush.
                yamaha r15- well looks great but handle bars are less wide for me and less comfy. Had pain in my butt after riding like 30 kms.
                Ktm Duke- loved its exhaust sound and accleration but @3 digits speed the engine feels like getting strained and didnt like the seating positon comfy but funny(personal opinion).
                So i thought of buying this honda cbr 150r only coz it had a 11k+ rpm revving engine. Was comfy for me. As i had toured on cbr 250r so i expected nothing less from this bike. this bike can tour @3 digits but not at 120kmph as its bigger brother but yes can tour effortlessly @100-110 kmph. My bike is still in run in so i have gone a max of 112kmph @6500rpm on top gear.

                    ah, I will say, NDTV need to up their own game
                    I really doubt the kinda test NDTV guys did.. But, What amazes me that
                    all the major auto mags have given it a miss when, I can find reviews from
                    them on all other bikes except this one.

                    Either Honda is doing a poor job marketing this or the competition
                    is doing a better job...

                      Did they get approval from RTO for the bike?
