    Re: Honda CBR 150 R

    Yes, do check web for some pictures of new 150R models from south Asian countries. If you have decided to go for a CBR then I feel it will be worth to wait for few weeks. And yes, these news mods of CBR will be a bit costlier than current versions.

    IIRC CBR comes with a 2years of warranty. And if you play with any instrument you won't get any warranty claims. Even I wanted to upgrade my 250R horn to a dual horn and one of the CBR mechanic warned me about the warranty void.

    My humble suggestion is to do not modify these things, at least for few years after you buy it.

    however upsizing the front will have impact on handling.
    first the front contact patch has increased.
    second the tyre height is more than stock.

    as 10-20mm change in geometry will indeed affect the way machine will handle.

    also using a radial at front and a ply-bias at rear will give you very odd feel. supple at front and bouncy at rear.
    while the front will hold under hard cornering the rear will loose grip at those levels due to harder compound compared to front

    Oh happy to know that there isn't going to be any speedo error.my rear also fitted with Michelin pilot street radial 140/70.check the tyre thread.

Never think about adding switch gears yourself. It will simply void your warranty. Safe suggestions is to wait for few days as 4aug Honda should surprise us with something new. You could also look for some other bikes.

    If you buy the baby CBR now and at revfest if they launch uplifted version more on power and feature then your heart will be crushed.

    So better wait, only 2 weeks remaining.

    Better late than never.

    Thanks for your quick reply Mr. Sanjay.

    Yes i have read almost each and every page of this thread. Im clear about this bikes performance and no doubt its awesome. I just wanted to know its worth against the facelift as there are not much changes in the performance (a little better torque maybe).

    Anyways yes im gonna wait another month for things to settle down. Im gonna book the beauty near August end. Hope things go well.

    Peace.

    **UPDATE**

    Done a little searching about he Revfest (heard it for the first time today). A fellow member in the xBhp has received his pass for the event, and he was told that there would be total 5 bikes to be launched. So fingers crossed now.

    Thanks & Regards.

    New here, first post.

    Been following this thread for too long, and finally a post.

    So, I have been chasing this bike for a long long time. Ever since i first saw it, my mind was made up "If ever im gonna get a bike, it is this one". But that were the old days, i was just a kid then.

    But now the time has came, and i still absolutely love this bike, I have no reason why. So coming to the point, "Is it worth the deal?" and "Am I too late for the party?"

    I have heard news that the new facelift version of CBR150R is gonna launch in sometime. But its taking forever, and still there is no solid word of that from the Honda stable.(Anyways I dont like the new Fireblade inspired design much). But all the minor shortcomings of the current version may be addressed in it hopefully, the switchgear, the footpegs.

    SO THE QUESTION IS, IS IT WORTH WAITING FOR THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW CBR150R ? OR SHOULD I JUST RUN TO THE SHOWROOM AND GET HER RIGHT NOW?

    Thanks & Regards,
    Swapnil B.
