HONDA CBR150R (2004-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBR150R was a sports bike first manufactured in 2002 as a successor to the NSR150 model, part of the CBR series in Honda's range of motorcycles and powered by a 150cc single-cylinder engine fitted at the core of a retro-styled machine.

In 2005, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBR150R Repsol, a special edition motorcycle in its first generation, with a full Repsol racing livery that packed the iconic Orange, Red, and White colors, along with the Repsol logo on the fairing.

In 2010, Honda introduced the CBR150R, a sports motorcycle that came with a significant change, such as the Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system, which delivered lower power than the carbureted version.

In 2012, the Honda CBR250R was updated with the same bodywork design as the CBR300R model, which was inspired by the 2012 CBR1000RR. The design was applied only in the Indonesian market, while in other countries that bike remained unchanged.

In 2016, Honda introduced a fully updated version of the CBR150R that featured a bodywork design inspired by the 2016 CBR500R and a new engine configuration. The 2016 model was manufactured and sold in Indonesia but also exported to the Philippines.

The bike was a great choice for those riders who were looking for a sporty and fun machine, especially for those who preferred a small displacement motorcycle but also a good option for beginners, with its lightweight and easy-to-handle capabilities.

As for performance, the 2004 Honda CBR150R had at its core a 149cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 17 hp with maximum strength at 9,000 rpm and 14 Nm (10 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,000 rpm.
