As the entire Indian biking industry is looking forward for the Honda’s Diwali début and the speculations ranging from a brilliantly bold VTR 250 to the road burning CBR 250R. I’m specially biased towards the CBR 150R which I think it’s practical for Honda to kick-off the smaller sports segment and also a direct competitor to their own Japanese rival, the Yamaha R15 .
Have test driven the older CBR 150R at One make Race held at Kari Motors some time ago. I’m really looking forward to this bike’s complete specs and I personally know what this bike is capable of.
I can personally nick name this bike as the “Black Marlin” for it’s sleekness and the thrill that provides. As the CBR 150R pictures is also officially out, chances are really high for this bike entering the Indian ports.
