Indonesia: New Honda CBR 150R launched

Honda has launched the new CBR 150R in Indonesia. The motorcycle is powered by a 150cc, DOHC single-cylinder, 4-valve, liquid-cooled engine that makes 17 BHP @ 9,000 rpm and 13.7 Nm of torque @ 7,000 rpm. For reference, the current CBR 150R sold in India uses the same engine to deliver 18.28 BHP (@ 10,500 rpm) and 12.66 Nm of torque (@ 8,500 rpm). Honda has tuned the engine to offer more accessible power and torque. Transmission is through a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Honda also claims that the engine has less friction and offers better fuel efficiency, with an economy figure of 39.72 kpl. The motorcycle is being offered in four colour options - Revolution White, Black Nitro, Honda Racing Red and a MotoGP Edition. The company has set a sales target of 7,000 units per month.

The new CBR 150R features a completely new design with sharper body lines, split LED headlamps, a new digital instrument cluster, LED blinkers, a new exhaust end-can, split seats and a more aggressive riding position. Prices in Indonesia (on-road) range from Rp 32.5 million (around Rs. 1.65 lakh) to Rp 33.3 million (around Rs. 1.69 lakh), depending on the colour chosen.
