Honda has released only one hit in the 150cc segment, Honda Unicorn and has not planned to release its next 150 cc bike till end of 2008, but after the arrival of Yamaha r15, a world class sports bike and Suzuki GS150R, Honda wanted to participate again.
Honda has planned to launch its CBR150R by the mid of 2009.
Specifications:
Engine Capacity: 149.4cc
Engine Type: 4 stroke
Output Power : 25.68bhp@10500rpm
Engine Torque: 13.7nm@8500rpm
Top Speed: 160kmph
Braking: Dual Disc(Front Disc and Rear Disc)
The CBR 150R is going to be released with 149.4cc and with a maximum power output of 17bhp which is more or less similar to Yamaha R15.
But the Size of the bike and its design appeals to be more better than the R15.
The Top speed of the bike is 160kmph which is not touched by any bikes in India. even the best (R15) has reached only 140kmph.
The bike's wheels carries discs both in rear and front wheel.
The price of the bike would be around 90000-95000.Rs.
Draw backs:
- very less fuel efficiency
- Analog tachometer and speedometer
- Tank capacity is just 10litres.
Cheers!!!
