    Better Top end?
    Pillion friendly?
    Exclusivity?(considering R15s are selling like hotcake here and everywhere and i dont see 150R catching up in terms of sales)
    Better Ergonomics and comfortable upright seating posture for people of all sizes?
    OH i almost forgot the CNB show's indirect quoting of Honda's 56kmpl efficiency
    Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

        Don't know Nitesh; its quite hard to say anything unless owner's actually post their riding experience; these are just my thoughts anyway as an enthusiast. I also had another thought on the headlights; anyday, I prefer a twin headlamps than a single for the kind of wattage people use on their cars & trucks.

        [IN]BeTrayedxD - Tks; glad my posts were helpful.

          1. NO one is going to attain TOP END every time .Unless you are a pure High way Rider , i guess we can attain 135 km/hr . But , we can't Rip at these speeds constantly as the Fuel efficiency will be reduced and hence we are just Harming the Engine .

          2. + 1 , i agree , it is pillion friendly .

          3. + 100

          4. LOL yeah your Right ..

          5. I 100 % Guarantee that we can't get 56 KM/Liter even if we Ride in 4 K RPM or Below My Personal point of view - I guess ,we can get 40 KM/liter while we do smooth riding inside City , 35 Km/liter while we Rip inside cities , 45 Km/liter if we ride on highways ( But if you rip above 115 km/hr above you will be getting only 35 - 40 Km/liter ) Comments are appreciated .

            Heard that RHS Switch Gear of CBR150R is same as Stunner so no engine kill switch? Also, does it makes sense for R15 V1.0 owners to buy CBR150R?

              Actually these bikes are meant to be stressed to the limits. The R15/150R/250R's/Duke etc have more potential than you think they would. Its only that the manufacturers want to ensure that the product life is maximum and thus these top speed limiters come into play.
              Second of all ripping on the highways in topgear doesnt kill ur F.E. It is ur braking/frequent gear shifts/sudden acc which kill ur F.E
              Isnt that why bikes give more F.E on the highway than in the city?
              My 4k odo on the 250R is 90% highway and 10% city and my F.E. is anywhere between 30-36kmpl and this while averaging at a 110-120kmph all the time.

              While i agree these claims are not to be believed all the time, but if Siddharth Patankar says its HMSI's claims , considering how HMSI didnt overshoot 250R's F.E claims i am somehow going to believe the 150R offers at 50kmpl at any given condition. Again gotta wait for HMSI's brochures for F.E claims. I am not gonna trust S.P all the time

                1. Yup , Your Right ... There is No Engine Kill Switch ..

                  I would be more happy if the CBR 150 r gets launched by my personal design

                  I would be more happy if the CBR 150 r is refreshed and Launched by my TASTE

                  1. Twin Light Head Lamp assembly or they could have used White Halogen like P 220 .

                  2. The Fuel tank should have undergone some design . My personal point of view ( It looks like a Ballon )

                  3. Expecting the horn should be same as ( R15 V 2.0 / Fazer / Apache )

                  4. Side Fairings should have undergone a Peppy design / sharp cutting edges .

                  5. Engine Kill switch

                  6. LED tail lamps

                  7. The radiator size should have increased .


                  Note - I guess , if the Honda Launches the CBR 150 r with these Changes means HMSI would have Priced this bike around INR - 1,60,000 /- or above . .


                  These all are my personal point of view . Comments are appreciated

                    For an R15 owner, it makes more financial and performance sense to go for street legal modifications, rather than getting CBR 150R.
                    BI's ride report was saying that CBR's handling is somewhat slightly inferior to that of R15, although it has good torque spread over the range, unlike what specs and its peaky nature suggests.

                    Yes, modifications have their own problems but most of the good modifications are reliable too nowadays.

                    Don't know about others but if I was an R15 owner, I would get it modified from reliable places like Joel's, that too to such a small extent that it doesn't attract cops, like Bigbore, headwork, better headlights, etc.

                      Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                      Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                        The cbr 150 will be exclusive alright, but not so with the case of it's elder sibling

                          Even i read that quite sometime back, and that is what made me look forward for CBR150's launch...

                          On paper it has 3NM torque difference, but it is still having better review!
                          I'm eagerly waiting for xBhp's review... but its nowhere in sight...

                            One can easily differentiate between the 150 and the 250 with the exhaust/windshield and tyres alone.
                            Besides they dont have a common color to be mistaken with and also one can easily differentiate between the two when they are on the move aswell.

                              just like we differentiate p150,180,200,220s.
                              and the question remains why do i race?
                              every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                                Totally agree,but the flagship (manufactured in India) doesnt look as fab as this one
                                CBR 250R as a package is worth it and I do understand that,no hard feelings or hurting sentis there
