me too waiting for a good review of how the bike really is ? and which fuel current users are using for their baby ?

Yes, you are right. To cool the engine of 150R during stops the person must first switch off the bike using the key then turn the key to ON position keeping the engine off.

I am also planning to get this beauty but discouraged due to non availability of a kill switch and low torque compared to itz rival. I am damn confused b/w cbr150r n R15 V2 .

Cbr150r has a better engine n efficiency also gud pillion support than the R15v2 but it costz 15k more and doesn't even have a kill switch this should have been taken care of by Honda .

I hope some1 getz me a detailed comparison review .

Replies in bold....150 R owner can confirm my point/decline. please correct me.

what makes you think like that?

both engines are good.both bikes are good.both looks good.
now i don't think a missing engine kill switch makes a huge difference in making decision while buying a good bike.

+Million times Makky!!! I was expecting some reviews, but this thread is also not spared by few regulars who'd like to keep challenging for nothing!!!

Owners, appreciate if you post the following from owner's manual...
1. Service interval for bike
2. Run in procedure recommended
3. Is the engine oil to be used is 10W30?
4. Air filter & spark plug change interval
5. Fuel type recommended by HMSI (97 or 91 RON)
6. What speeds at what RPM on 6th gear (not found on owner's manual, but from your experience)
7. Under seat storage space (pics if possible)
8. Fuel tank & engine oil capacity
9. Pls post the pic of rear part of swing arm where it holds the wheel; would like to see the mechanism of chain adjuster
10. Chain lubing interval

TIA

Please find my replies inline

Thanks catchdebanjan; appreciate your responses for the other questions too. Tks

i am eager to know about this 2 points.

Its good to hear u realize ur mistake..

The psyche of the CBR 150R buyer is similar to that of the R15.. coz both are similar motorcycles.. Why people are paying more bucks for a similar motorcycles(i mean cbr 150 R) ? many reasons..
1. Better fuel efficiency
2. better pillion seat
3. more power (18bhp)
4. Honda brand appeal (reliability chiefly. Yamaha does have its own fan following though)
5.Better looks (highly subjective though)
6. Better riding posture.

Mostly practical reasons..

for me 2 and 6 were most decisive in going for CBR..

I hope I answered your question..

fuel tank capacity is 13litres

I noticed the 150R has a different frame layout compared to the 250R
I had read a report like almost a year ago that the 150R has actually ported the same frame from its older version i.e., the bug eyed 150R.

If that is the case, then unlike the 250R the 150R must be very nimble with those relatively skinnier wheels thus aiding better handling around the corners just like its competition the R15

And If that is the case then those who look at the 150R as the underdog in the 150cc sports bike category definitely need to go back in time and check this out:
The Honda CBR150. Can it beat the Yamaha R15? Page - 1| Zigwheels.com

Not much has changed from the older sibling except for the FI and the fairing design. At the end of the comparo its mentioned that while the Honda posted a 2second lead over its competition, it didnt outhandle the other bike around the corners because of being relatively lighter and skinny compared to the R15. The new 150R however is wider and heavier than its older sibling(i think) thus makes it interesting to see how it fares on a racetrack alongside the R15.

Guess we have to wait to see both the bikes get tested side by side like zigwheels did back then.

Until then, stop Hating and Start Riding

Please keep the pics coming and also let us know how the bike fares in long distances.

@nithesh: awesome bro.. I read this long back but u brought it up at the right moment. I think we should be objective here as it will help the others make better decisions because they are relying on us to provide correct information not biased information

I read this long back and also bookmarked it, i don't wanna start cbr150r vs r15 like others always do.. thats the reason i never posted that,also there is another link ...

Honda CBR150R Vs Yamaha New R15 Version 2.0

I had a long chat with dilip roger(hez my friend's cousin), hope everyone knows him.. He cleared all my doubts .. one thing he said clearly ,There is not much difference between DOHC n SOHC, DOHC will edge out SOHC in performance also when tuned DOHC engine will always have the upperhand
And guys dont expect cbr150r to be quick as it is in Malaysia(124kg), cause Honda added 14 kgs to Indian version(138kg), he expects it to be slower and guess what CBR150r can be tuned to 22.5bhp max and he as done 160kmp max speed ..

Checked the link. In the description they say it has a fuel injection system but in the specifications they say that it has a CV type carburetor!
