So its only an opinion? Did you want the facts?
Torque plays a more from stand still to movement...
RTR 180 - 15.50NM @6500 RPM (124)
P220 - 19.12NM @7000 RPM (131)
HH ZMR - 18.35NM @6000 RPM (110)
C250R - 22.90NM @7000 RPM (149)
R15 - 15.00NM @7500 RPM (116)

The numbers in the brackets are BHP per tonne; I leave the option to you, if you want to reconsider!!!

PS - If you're talking about CBR 150R (but again, you cannot witness C150R at signal, atleast in India)
C150R - 12.66 @8500 RPM (127)

If every idiot on having an internet connection gives his bloody opinion about every damn thing,

A lot of it is there in this thread because serial posters cannot post on the pulsar 200NS thread (it was locked because of similar freewheeling fb type conversations going around with nothing concrete)

The torque is 12.66 NM at 8500 rpm, but that doesn't say much about the rest of the powerband.

1. It could well be better than R15 from the signal start up. However, its unlikely to be much better at it, than RTR's and Pulsars due to afterall, being a 150cc only. And, Don't expect it to match ZMA /ZMR's strong pull in any case though.

2. Low end being sluggish than R15? This is not necessary. Remember that we got a figure of 12.66 NM at 8500 rpm. It is possible that due to the low maximum torque value, the bike is stronger & better throughout the range, due to this compromise...

Yes, R15 gets stronger beyond 5000 rpm and then achieves 15 NM @ 7500 because its an engine tuned for the high end power.

In fact, the Maximum torque and power figures signify performance at particular rpms only, not the rest of the powerband. So, its very hard to say anything without getting a proper performance graph which I couldn't find on google.

But, Bike India did report earlier what I already suspected: CBR 150R's torque is spread throughout the range, unlike the R15, BI says.

3. Yes, it should. Easily. As speed and rpm increases, you start feeling the claimed power. Keep it around 7000-9000 rpm and it should feel peppy! In fact, such high-end-tuned engines (like R15, CBR150R) are better at touching big figures than dealing with traffic at low rpm. It gives some 17.8PS @ 10,500 rpm.


Rest we can say, only by test riding it. But believe me guys, Figures are so deceptive that you may be proved wrong later on if you make statements based on them...

anyways rg what is the power to weight ratio of r15,rtr 180, and 220s.

Something closer to it is what it looks now

^^^ In that case, can we give an opinion that a Scooty pep can perform just like R15...if opinions were to be taken out of thin air Just asking, no offense meant, esp to you Sayank

opinion based on r 15 's performance off the signal compared to rtr,220.

WTH!!! Have you tested it? Is it an opinion or fact?

cbr will be sluggish.
