HONDA CBR150R (2010-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBR150R was a sports bike part of the CBR series in Honda's range, powered by a 150cc single-cylinder engine and manufactured in 2002 as a successor to the NSR150 machine. It was sold in 2002 in the Thai market and exported to many Asian markets and South Africa.

In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBR150R, a sports motorcycle that introduced 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.

In the performance department, the 2010 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.
