Honda CBR 150R 2012 Launched in India Specification and Review


Honda first wooed enthusiasts by displaying its CBR150R at the Delhi Auto Expo in January 2012. Honda launched the world-class economy sport bike at Rs 1,17,385 ex-showroom, Delhi.

Honda has launched the smaller CBR 150R in the Indian auto market at Rs 1,16,385 (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the Standard and Rs. 1,17,385 (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the Deluxe variant.

The CBR 150R has a light and compact DOHC 150cc engine which produces a peak power of 17.6PS at 10,500rpm and a peak torque of 12.66Nm at 8,500rpm, which is ideal for city riding conditions. The CBR’s engine, mated to a six-speed gearbox, will be liquid-cooled and fuel-injected with their patented PGM-FI technology. Front & rear disc brakes will be standard on the bike, it will also have mono-suspension and wide front and rear tubeless tyres offering better stability while cornering.
Engine

The Honda CBR150R is based on a 149cc 4-stroke carburetted single cylinder 4 valve DOHC engine with 11.0:1 compression and CDI ignition, mated to a 6-speed wet clutch manual transmission. Honda CBR150R generates 18.5 Bhp at 10500 rpm and 13.5 Nm of torque at 8500 rpm. It is not a fuel injected version as is in its die-hard rivals which can prove a flaw to some of the bikers.

Design And Comfort

Honda CBR150R comes loaded with the fine tuned mesmeric features making it one of the most sought after bikes among the bike lovers. It features a unique eye design lights which give safety for the night ride. The side mirror handles come in line with the windshield as we see in the big bikes. The round built-in tail lights with separated signal lights further enhance the sporty look. It has a well designed speedometer with clear display of speed, rpm, fuel, lights and engine temperature at one glance. Like the other high end bikes in the country, the Honda CBR150R is sure enough to feature disc brakes at the front and rear so that it can compete with its competitors altogether. No wonder, this bike shows the persona to become a great lure in the biking community in the country.

Ride And Handling

Honda CBR150R employs telescopic shocks at the front while the rear depends on the monoshock. The 4-level adjustable monoshock suspension serves more dynamic and responsive feedback even in undulating road conditions. Brakes are discs at both the front and rear, sized 276mm at the front and 220mm at the rear. They are the perfect stuff with the high precision which can keep the bike in foolproof control avoiding every bit of chance mishap or trouble.
