    Last time i said the 150R is 80% as powerful as the 250R people didnt believe me.
    But yes the Indian spec will always be detuned just like they did with the 250R.
    Thai 250Rs are @26hp. Indian 250R's at 25.


    This dude Ailing has done some performance mods on 250R and 150R alike. And the 150R is on par with the 250R with minor tuning on the ECU.

    Also @Antz.bin
    From what CNB show host has said, "Honda claims 56kmpl" from the 150R
    If he is true i can atleast expect a 50kmpl considering HMSI's claim of 28city 32highway was pretty much SPOT ON in the 250R posters and brochures.


    Also i have always wanted to ask those people here who are comparing the 150R/R15 with Dukes on this forum for quite sometime now claiming "Pricing" as the factor for such silly comparisions.
    IIRC the RE is also in the same price bracket as the R15/CBR150R. Now why isnt anyone comparing the Bullet with these bikes? Hypocrisy much?
    Motoroids claims that CBR 150 R gives 35+ kmpl when driven at 90+kmph...
    I'm not sure if motoroids is reputed web site or not, their web site also mentions that their sources indicated the CBR top speed to be 160kmph...
    I'm really starting to wonder what this bikes actual top speed is... can anybody check some thai forum please

    @antz.bin: you got patience dude, thinking of all that reply and typing it...

      Comparing Honda CBR150R vs Honda CBR250R | Tech Specs | Top Speed | Mileage. Check out this link,they claim a top speed of 130 and mileage around 35.
      and the question remains why do i race?
      every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

          i think its top speed will be around 140,as it is a de-tuned version meant for india.
          and the question remains why do i race?

            I am sure it can go beyond true 150 easily with a little mod job.....because honda cbr125r(youngest cbr) can touch 135-140 on speedo....

                Even if it touches true 133-134 kmph it will be ready to beat R15v2 in Top Speed

                  but the yammy will sure beat the cbr150 in twisties and around corners but again day to day riding we dont see lot many corners and twisties unless you live in hills ;much of a practical bike hope it is priced competitively

                    can honda price it sensibly?i kinda doubt it,,look at their stunner hardly sells,grossly over-priced,still no price cut.leave aside their bikes,look at their car portfolio,jazz ,overall great product ,failed to make impression in terms of sale,they were forced to do price cut.having said that,their recent launch brio was sensibly priced,so they may price it in between p200 ns and r15.fairing-starved,and pillion-comfort minded people will go for cbr.heard somewhere they have stopped production of dazzler and are about to bring out cb 150,don't know how concrete this news is,but they are taking their indian counterpart seriously.

                      I was following a thai 150R forum a few months ago. From ownership posts almost everyone who mentioned topspeed indicated 145+ on the speedo. Expect the Indian version to do atleast 140

                        Hmm... that sounds interesting... now if honda launches it with a 5 figure price, that would be a dream come true :P

                              Check out this news report : Honda CBR 150R to be priced below Rs 1.15 lakh...

                              What I find a little disconcerting is the little news buried in the news report: "The CBR 250R has seen some substantial slide in sales in the recent months. The company saw sales of under 140 units of the bike in January as against its usual tally of around 2,500-3,000 units every month." ... the KTM/ New Pulsar effect?
                              Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.
