      Very well said ..I hope they price it right this time..The prices should at least come down by 10-15K

        By the looks only - ordinary though tech aspects are great i dont think Indians will pay 90k+ for avarage looking buy they will prefer p200 ns . Its too small

        And one more thing front looks very similar to SZ-R (those wings and headlight design)

            Yeah. That bike deserves a lot better engine. It needs at least a 200cc fuel injected, liquid cooled engine producing about 25PS. That fat rear deserves a disc.
            BTW, Honda needs to price this one pretty low as it has competition from more potent 200NS. CBR150R, even though overpriced, sells decently due to the fairings and the looks. If Honda does similar to CBR wrt pricing, this one will fail for sure due to it's pretty poor looks.

              they should price it below 90000 ex showroom. as far as looks are concerned it looks very simple and plain but it will be fuel efficient, fuel injected, relaxed, vibration free, light and zippy motorcycle...and buddy cbr150r is not doing well, r15 is way ahead in terms of sales

                  Add myself in the party . But pricing does matter if priced above 1 lakh it doesn't makes sense, I am ready to take p200ns . In waiting mode .

                    above 90000 means it will be a flop show like cbr150r which is selling due to relaxed seating posture and usable rear seat only...

                      Yes you are right the rear seat is the main reason many are considering it above r15 v2 where r15 v2 rear is almost non existent .

                          seems like updated Unicorn Dazzler !!! graphics and color combination looks pretty ordinary .... needs more vibrant color scheme and graphics for mass appeal...

                              Yamaha should bring in a touring handle bar kit for the R15, its sports posture is not that great for everyday / long rides for all classes of bikers. A FZ25 is welcome

                                The announcement of such a product from Honda is a sign that the rest of the 150cc market has been caught napping. There is very little innovation/ technology coming to the 150cc naked bikes market. At the moment, the 125/135cc bikes are more technologically advanced than any of the air cooled sub 90k 150cc bikes. There is no notable feature on any 150cc air cooled bikes which is not offered by the 125cc segment.

                                There is no fuel injected air cooled 150cc bike
                                No 150cc bike <90k sports a 4 valve head.
                                No 150cc bike <90k engine makes > 100BHP/liter.

                                It's about time the 150cc Naked bikes in India got those features and stopped remaining behind the development curve of the bikes from a segment below. The CB150R is a good start in the right direction.

                                P.S.: The same points above are also valid for the 2 180s also. And another one would be that they don't offer monoshock suspensions that's common now on the 150s and has made an appearance even on a 125.
                                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.
