Hi guys, I have been owning honda cbr 150r for almost three years now and to frankly say it’s one of the best comfortable sports vehicle under the 150cc segment. ill split up my review below in sections
Comfort:
If u need a sports bike and a tourer this is the best one to go ahead, when u compare it with yamaha r15 and ktm duke 200 and ktm rc 200, since I have ridden all these, I know for sure that cbr 150r gives more comfort than these bikes. I’m 5.7 feet and I feel that I have to bend to much for yamaha r15 and ktm rc200 and it’ll give you a heck of a back pain in long journey.
Performance:
At this section the CBR 150r fails to outstand the yamaha and the ktm. its kinda of a liner pickup bike. the yamaha and ktm will deliver the peaks at 5000-6000 rpm and surely you can feel it, but the CBR will tend to reach its peak at higher RPM rate, but eventually you’ll will reach top speed as yamaha r15.
Electronics:
You would get a analogue tachometer and a digital meter with orange backlight, you can see time, temperature, and trip distance. you won’t be getting an engine kill switch and a passer light toggle switch.
Looks and style:
To say its a decent and classy looking bike on its own way but not as cool as ktm duke or yamaha r15.
Mileage:
As all bikes, if your rev it up you’ll get less mileage. its gives a decent 36-43kmpl on urban and highway traffic.
Handling and control:
It handles and goes as smooth as butter and sporty, but do make sure that you get the bike with the MRF zapper tyres sometimes they’ll switch it with TVS tyres which is crap and you don’t get ABS like its big brother CBR 250R. I have personally taken it to hill station drives and it handle pretty well and at the hairpin bends it turned flawlessly, as you won’t even know that you started to the scrap the footpegs on the road while cornering. it handles nimble and agile.
If you want a sporty comfortable bike and with more mileage go for it, but if you need more power and beefy looks there is always the CBR 250R which is better in all ways and it has ABS too:P
