what is Honda's priority ?
Yamaha with the R15 was quite clear, they did not have anything other than some Escorts left overs. It was the r15 or nothing..
If Honda wanted the CBR 150, they would have brought it in maybe 2 years ago..
But today Honda has a Unicorn and a Dazzler, both 150s.One even with International looks, back disc Etc..
So where will this 150 cbr fit in??
does honda need another 150 ?
Scooters are selling, they are pretty happy with that..then Shine is selling, Stunner and Twister needs help and the existing 150s are managing some numbers.
So what does Honda really want ??
Also consider the divorce from HH!!

just thoughts...

+1, and more or less what I wrote on my blog (lol not linking it to advertise it though!)

I've always felt that Honda had played it very safe from the beginning..The Unicorn has changed aesthetically over the time but it still is one of the slowest 150 or lame-spec-ed bike in the market (no offence to anyone,pls) ..So when it's selling in hot numbers why the hell should Honda tweak it with more power?..The scoots are doing just fine..and Honda is more than satisfied with their product range..

If you are thinking as to why then,Yamaha came up with R15 and Honda can't is easily understandable-Yamaha were doomed in India before they launched the R15..and Honda is ever growing..There's hardly any product in their portfolio that is not selling in good numbers..

@Nin..Honda definitely is not thinking it as a track bike for Indian masses..
Honda is not something like TVS,Hero Honda(minus Honda now) or Bajaj who need to prove their track-excellence or technology by a 150cc on Indian tracks or roads..They are world's no.1 manufacturer..Nothing to prove here..

I want Honda to break the jinx and come up with this kinda performance bikes.. Honda you listening???

The bold line is like a lot of expectations after the first two paragraphs... lol irnoically covered this aspect on the blog too!

Honda doesnt want to sell more, it wants to earn more...... selling more is just consequential for them!
OT: Payeng Honda, Sounds good! Sounds like a hi fi motor company ceo

I am just wondering, maybe Honda will launch such a bike in India( 150 or 250 cc, whatever) and use the production lines as an export base for the bikes and the spare parts for more dynamic markets? they can easily produce one such bike in India and export it to USA to give competition to the ninja and the migelli in the 250 cc series in these times of crisis. a lot of beginners prefer the baby Ninja over 400s as starter bikes but Ninja has not had a competition for a very long time now.

I am also of the view as many of my brethren have expressed earlier that Honda is the one to play it rather safe (than sorry). plus they most probably consider India as a base for utilizing near obsolete models and technology, just in tune with our politicians who do not want to educate the masses as they are easier to exploit lest educated. so if the customer is happy with less, why give him more?

lol! I doubt Honda would want to take over the world to kill ninja with performance... its too much of an effort where they could kill it with price and volume...
(Migelli 250? Whats that? its a 2stroke prototype!)
Honda has more and bigger plants in US, to want to make it in India and sell it there... (how big is the 250CC market in US as compared to Asia?)

The answer to the last line: Simple, higher margin on the cheap to produce single cylinder 250..

acc to me honda will not be launching any of these bikes:-

cbr 150r
cbr 250r
cb 300r
vtr 250

i think think they will launch a all new 250cc single cylinder motorcycle at an affordable price which will help them 2 bring volumes as a 250 cc single cylinder with 23-25 bhp of power will give direct competition to yamaha r15, p220 n karizma twins.....

Perfectly said ... this is wt i told in previous posts ... they will bring a namesake 250 without any guddies ..and with P220/ZMRA/R15 price range .. which can give them more profits

**Naveen1985** · 10-22-2010, 01:34 PM

they will compete with 3-4 bikes with a single shot instead of 1 on 1 game....

Not just 3-4 bikes, but 3-4 yet to be launched bikes as well!
Exactly what I wrote

Killing the birds and some eggs in one shot!

**akhilmuraleedhar** · 10-22-2010, 02:13 PM

the bike shown the pics is definitely 150cc not 250.after careful examination this is what i feel.

totally agree with you dude....

**vineetg84** · 10-22-2010, 03:31 PM

IMO Honda will definitely launch the 150cc CBR,When yamaha was launching the R15,little did we know that it was a direct threat to the hh karizma,even though it was launched at the price of rs 1 lakh plus.we were all hoping for a 250 cc from yamaha.but the R 15 surprised many with its performance matching with the likes of P220 and zma,Cbr 150 will fit perfectly within r15 zma zmr and p220 price range.and i really hope they launch the 250 cbr as well,though there wont be as many takers for the 250cc cause of the high price range,it will still be a treat to c it on indian roads

Announcement

Honda CBR150 R launched soon...
