Oh boy!! This’s a hell of a bike. Looks is where it gets off with astounding start, performance apart!! It turned me on!!! I feel its as tough competitor for r15. Looks like Honda aims to gain the title “Largest two wheeler manufacturing company in the world”. What do you say Hero Moto???

Desirable, looks like Honda will get a hit on their CBR250R sales. The one beside it looks like a Honda Dio replacement. Looks awesome.

This is a good bike. But they should price it cheaper than R15 to capture market.

Wow excellent, a perfect competitor to Yamaha FZ and R15. Pricing is near to Bullet 350.

Very few of you seem to know what the CBR150 is capable of!

Yamaha R15 is a small new fish.And I don’t understand what’s so great about it besides handling?It’s an ugly,puny cycle imitating the Yamaha R6 on almost all fronts.My friend who owns and R15,even though I discouraged him a lot from getting one,had a small crash,and a part of the fairing cost him 6K to replace!
Bloody ridiculous.Even the forks had got misaligned,it’s such bad quality.
To be honest all new,post 2007,so called motorcycles being manufactured are just plastic crap and we are lapping it all up like idiots.What a pity!

Yr frnd dont know to ride a bike…..handling is the output given by both the rider & bike…The R15 wont even arise a question of bad handling…!!
Dont the blame the bike…and wat will U guys doing if it was made of metal parts..go to garge & fix it…(tampering,polishing,painting)….??????
Stop taiking rubbish..!!

Well, your friend who’s had a crash, obviously, is a horrible rider. The R15 is the most forgiving, and easy to ride motorcycle ever.. I own the old R15, and It has gotten me out of the stickiest of situations, unhurt and without a scratch many times.. If I had any other bike, I would have been dead many times.. And obviously, you haven’t ridden an R15, thats why your even complaining about it. And what do you want the fairings to be made of? Kevlar? No No, perhaps, forged titanium would be good right? Get real man. Get a bike!

its better to plan the price of cbr 150cc below 1lac.

CBR150R should not be cheaper than R15.. else it will you will find it on road like the number of pulsars at every nuke and corner.

They could have given a different design though, CBR250R and CBR150R look almost the same..

Everyone’s gotta checkout the youtube videos on CBR150R. Amazing EXHAUST NOTE…!!!!

An advice to Honda-If they want their cbr 150cc to boom in selling stats so they should launch their monster in price of btw. 1.07 to1.12 lakhs on road !!! which is the ex-showroom of R15 ”!!
just think about it — H O N D A !!
