Aha! The most awaited Honda CBR 150R, the 150cc motorcycle which was unveiled at the Delhi Auto Expo 2012, has been finally launched in India. The motorcycle comes in two variants- the Standard and the Deluxe. While the price tag on the Standard variant reads INR 116385, the Deluxe variant is a tad expensive at INR 117385 (Ex-showroom price, New Delhi).
This motorcycle will pose quite a challenge for the Yamaha R15, and the recently launched Bajaj KTM Duke 200. What’s exciting about the Honda CBR 150R is, it comes with new-age graphics, and dual layered full body covering (that aids in the aerodynamics and the potential of the motorcycle). The Y-shaped headlight, digital meter, and pentagonal muffler add to the overall aesthetic pleasure. Powered by a DOHC 150cc engine, generating the maximum power of 13.11 KW (17.6 BHP) at the rate of 10,500 RPM, and generating a maximum torque of 12.66Nm at 8500 RPM. Intensifying the sportiness of the bike, the CBR 150R features a twin tubular frame, thus building up the overall stability of the bike. The liquid cooling and PGM-FI raise the efficiency of the engine, generating maximum output with minimum effort. The 6-speed gearbox makes sure of the proper power transmission. The front and rear disc brakes, mono-suspension and the front and rear tubeless tires renders the rider better stability and superb riding and braking comfort.
Lookwise, it has a slight resemblance to Honda CBR250R. Slight. Color options go somewhat like this-
The difference between Standard and Deluxe versions is that while the Standard version offers only dual-tone paint job, the Deluxe version offers a triple-tone paint job. Not much difference in performance though. If you could lay your hands on this one, Road trips and the Motorcycle Diaries will start meaning something. Yes!
