for all the doubters. here is the cbr150 r doing 100+ on the speedo in 3rd gear. some folks here are talking about the gear ratio of the old cbr. new one has revised gearing.

+ 1

@ punarvasu

+ 1 For all of your POINTS .

I too wondering If he clocks 112 Km/hr @ 6500 RPM means then he will clock 100 km/hr between 5,000 - 5,500 RPM ?

I was ready to post my doubts but all used o start arguing and start saying have you ridden it or some Blah blah blah . For this sake i remained silent !!

To check the true TOP SPEED for any BIKE , we need a GPS ! I'm saying this from the beginning !! And

Anyways , We're Like minded

You need not ride a bike to find out the exact real speed it can reach at a certain RPM. The designing engineers too are calculating it before designing the bike; not finding it out by riding after production.

And if you have any doubt about the speed, please check it with GPS.

Bro, I *think* you are getting the gear ratios wrong somewhere, 24% is a very very high speedo error. I Checked gearingcommander.com but the ratios they have are for 2004-2007 CBR150R. As I saw in your earlier post, the ratios on Gearingcommander.com match with the ones you have used. I haven't found the correct ratios for the 2012 CBR150R anywhere not even on aphonda Thailand website. If however you have an authentic source, what we are looking at is a colossal amount of speedo error.

Also, Even if power peaks at 10.5k RPM, the rev-limiter is not at 10.5k RPM. Power on my bike peaks at 8.5k but Top Speed (15x) is touched at 10k redline in top gear, so it would be incorrect to assume Top Speed of CBR150R will be at peak power RPM, not beyond it.

Thanks a lot for posting this bro.

I have edited my whole post here...

@Punarvasu: You need to watch your language buddy, nobody is in a state of hallucination here! Everybody understands that each motorcycle has a certain speedo error, including the cbr150r. Whatever be the real performance of this baby cbr, one thing is clear that it is very competitive against R15 and slightly better at the top. I don't know what your problem is with this motorcycle!

For everyone's sake, let someone really come up with proper performance figures using the GPS or whatever appropriate equipment that is to be used! Otherwise, this argument will go on forever. But I'll appreciate that the judgement be passed after riding the motorcycle and not just on calculations!

To understand the vehicle`s real performance, test rides are done. A vehicle is made final to production only if the test rides are good. Not on the basis of drawings.

I do agree with you but what I told is different. The power, torque, speed at various RPM etc. are calculated while designing the bike because it can easily be done nowadays.

Other topics like how rapid it can accelerate, ride without frequent down shifting of the gear (ride in high gear at low speed) etc will surely be discussed here later as in the case of any other bike; no doubt.

I did never say that CBR150R cannot attain any speed. This is what I said: This bike cannot reach 132 kmh at 8500 RPM. The bike may be able to reach very high speed; I have no argument about it.

If you know the gear ratios including the primary final, please post it here.

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

Then why are you over interested in this bike and trying to promote its sale without knowing anything about the actual capabilities of it?

And how do you come to know that this bike is "slightly" better than the R15 at top speed especially when you know nothing about it?

I cannot understand why you are eager about a bike which you don’t use or planning to buy. This is copied from your own posting in page 44 of this thread:

“I own a Bullet Electra 5S and a yamaha FZ-S.

Then why are you over interested in this bike and trying to promote its sale without knowing anything about the actual capabilities of it?

And how do you come to know that this bike is "slightly" better than the R15 at top speed especially when you know nothing about it?

I don’t think I am legally bound to reveal it to you.

That's a nice line to start your post, I like it. But frankly, if you are sensible enough then you won't really need a language teacher!

What have my current motorcycles got to do with my interest in CBR150R? Anyways like you said, I am not legally bound to "reveal" it to you why I am so interested in this motorcycle! Whatever reviews we have been able to read so far, it indicates that this baby cbr seems to have slightly better top end performance than the R15. You may want to believe otherwise as per your mathematics, your choice. And regarding my knowledge about this motorcycle? Again, I don't think I am legally bound to reveal it to you!

Same question can be directed towards you. No?
If you do not like the 150R, why even bother spreading false theoretical information about it. When you do not know the gear ratios of the bike you cannot tell what speed the bike can do and at what rpm. Also 25% speedo error is the mother of all speedo errors and it is created by those who cannot digest the fact that there is a 150cc that has a better topend aswell as acceleration figure over the rival 150. Either wait for a review or let the owners tell you what the bike is capable of doing and not doing.

And how do you come to know that this bike is "slightly" better than the R15 at top speed especially when you know nothing about it?
If you have been following the International 150R forums, you would know something.

Also, i find it really hilarious that people come into this ownership thread and tell the owners what their bike is capable of and not capable of doing with very little to no experience or feel of the bike.

ALERT : Please ignore those comments and don't reply to it, don't want this thread to be locked again..

I am getting my bike today, black+green version(without registration). i will post some pics soon

i have a question.. when should i lubricate Chain? and any one knows where can i get IND number plates in chennai?

I have already stated that the speed calculations are based on the gear ratios of the old bike. (Please read again posting No. 143 in page 15). Those ratios may have changed for better pickup as bigger tires are used now.

As the power and torque output of the engine is remaining the same, we cannot expect anything more than a slight modification of gear ratios for better pickup which results lesser maximum speed in every gear.

The top speed and pickup (acceleration) of any vehicle cannot be increased at the same time without modifying its engine and CBR150R is using the same old engine now. So the indigestion of any fact is out of question and the bike I am using is not a rival of CBR150R. More than that, the bike you mentioned was available when I bought mine. I mean I am not an R15 fan to promote its sales by defaming CBR150R.

I have read somewhere that the speedometer error of this bike is about 18%. Here one of us claimed that his bike is reaching 132 kmh speed at 8500RPM. If it is true, the speedometer error is about 24% even after the expected gear modifications. Please read the whole posting before leaping to react.

It is strange that some are interested in attacking me instead of trying to clear my doubts. Hope we surely will learn about the overall performance of this most noticed and discussed here bike sooner or later.

**VaibhavPisal** · 05-02-2012, 12:22 PM

I can't find a single post that is not trying to compare this bike to R15. thats natural as Honda and Yamaha as well as cbr150r and r15 are natural competitors. I feel both bikes are neck to neck. that extra edge will not matter in practical usage. kindly concentrate on bike at hand and don't post comparisons to litter the thread. ultimately by saying this bike is better or that is better will only satisfy your ego and won't actually mean much.

Dude I dont care how much u understand bikes,

I dont care what bike u own and ride

This is a CBR 150R ownership thread let it be so..

Stop attacking people with ur biased ideas

People like you got this thread locked last time..

I just dont want that to happen

If you hate CBR 150 R i suggest u start a new thread and invite
fellow haters there.. But, do spare us

I hope u understand..

**ravi@17bhp** · 05-02-2012, 01:26 PM

Lots of speculations going on here. Why don't people argue with facts? If common sense prevails, one argues if he gets authentic information only and not by just guessing on old CBR engine.

Let this thread be informative for the CBR150 owners. Please don't make this an argument thread.
