Great package for every type of rider
4 years ago
Jagjot Singh
It was a great experience. In short cbr150 is all rounder. We can ride it off-road 70-80 kmph very comfortably And 100 -110 on highway for longer distance. Great pickup (1 gear:51,2:80,3:105,4:120 and so on...It gives mileage of 50-55 km per 100 rs fuel. I bought this bike in 2015 and now its 19 and this bike has same pickup.

Cbr150 r

Saif Ali
Bike is good and comfortable for daily use .Sporty look . Mileage is 30-32 kmpl in city and 42 on highway pickup is decent.150 cc is enough in city. Reached upto 127kmph . Bike runs smooth till 110 kmph speed.Just a con is getting 150 cc at 30 kmpl is a bad deal at same mileage one can get much more power in same segment bike.

Is honda cbr 150 r worthing buying in 2019
5 years ago
Rajas Ansurkar
It was a great bike (till 2014) to be owned as your first bike. The easiest way to describe honda's cbr 150 r is to say that it is a well balanced bike. Although being such a good bike honda failed to upgrade itself along with its competitors and just focused on minimal cosmetic upgrades rather than performance.

she's born in a 2nd February 2017 , Reached 40,000km above, don't buy a CBR and use it for long, it will make you stuck from upgrading others bikes...And blends with emotions by doing everything that we dream to do... So #once_you_are_in_there_is_no_going_back...taste the first blood above 40km/L mileage average speed 110_120, top end 169generally maintenance very costly .

Life is ride

Vijay
Bought this companion in 2012. A very first buyer of first 100 bikes lot. In last 7+ years, completed 1lacs+ kms. I know this is been discontinued but my emotional attachment to this bike forcing me write a review. Reliability: one thing which blindly you can trust on this bike (or honda) is reliability. In these 7 years and 1 lac+ kms, i never ever faced any breakdown (except one small battery issue that's too because of service center error). I have used it on extensive long ride, in scorching heat in gujarat, continuous rains of western ghat, freezing temperature in night rides, jungle and broken roads in west coast. Bike never disappointed me in terms of reliability, Looks: it is subjective to individual. Personally, in my opinion honda has not done good job in this area. When i bought in 2012, only 4 colors were available and all of them were equally disappointing. I chose candy green which was relatively better.Comfort: very comfortable for daily commute and long rides. Even after 7 years, i never faced any back pain or wrist pain issue. Surprisingly equally comfortable for pillion as well. This pillion feedback is from person who actually completed thousands of long ride with me. Bonus is grab rails for pillion which can be used for luggage cord also.Mileage: fuel efficiency is good. I get 36 kmpl in city and 42 kmpl on highway. There are occasions where i touched 44 kmpl as well. This also depends upon how punctual you are for service. I have never ever missed even a single service. All of them done on time.Build quality: when it comes to engine, i don't think any other bike or manufacturer can beat honda engine. Even after 1 lacs kms, i never changed clutch plates or any other part which involves opening of engine casing. Rock solid engine. However build quality of fairing and other plastic part is inconsistent. Fitting is uneven leaving space in between plastic parts and sometimes annoying vibrations. Service: this is very inconsistent area. I got my bike serviced 4 different service center in 7 years (3 in mumbai and 1 in bangalore). All the service centers in mumbai are just pathetic with no knowledge at all (specially jhaveri honda in parel, instead of mechanic filled with jokers). I moved to bangalore when odometer reading was 50k and from there onward getting it serviced from ananda honda which is brilliant. Honda need to standardize and improve it. Parts availability is never a concern in bangalore but in mumbai it was a big problem.Cons: 150cc engine is just enough. With pillion and luggage, it runs out of breath on ghat sections. Little more power could have made big difference.

Fun to ride , butter smooth engine and Reliable
3 years ago
Neeraj Das
I bought CBR 150R in 2013 now it's 2020, that's almost 7 years ago I bought it. It's Still running well. The service center is just pathetic. They will just literally destroy your bike the mechanics are some bunch of idiots . That's why I service it in some reputed local garages outside. The performance is awesome for 150cc category. It's under-powered in low end and decent in mid-range and it's just a beast in top end there is not much pull from the engine below 5,000 rpm after 5k rpm the bike pulls really well and when it reaches 7k rpm it literally becomes a beast. It can easily reach 140 kmph and it's top speed is around 150kmph , if you use Premium engine oil. But if you use mineral oil don't expect much performance and mileage . The bike vibrates at the speed of 80 to 85 kmph and lags power if you use cheap mineral engine oil. I used motul 7100 and 300 V2 with Loqui moly oil additive and then the bike became butter smooth . I cruise at the speed of 100 to 110 without any vibrations. And mileage is around 38 to 40 kmpl in city and 45 to 48 in highway if you cruise at 75 to 80 kmph ( with premium engine oil). It's chain needs lube more early at around 250 kms if you don't lube its chain you won't get much performance.

Excellent pick up and sporty design
3 years ago
Sunishith
I have been using cbr 150r since 8 years. Riding experience is very good. Maintenance cost is high. Spare parts cost much. Excellent braking system. City mileage is about 42kmpl. Stylish sports design. Not suitable for family. Perfect for youth. Price is high. Chain sprocket sound problem. No pass button. Excellent pick up.

Our story

Nikhil Khanna
I bought cbr 150 r pre-owned because its my dream bike when I was toddler at that time my age is around 12 and I see this bike in commercial ad basically it was an cbr 250 r and I wish to buy it in 150 segment and pray to god and finally it's arrive in India but in 2018 when I am eligible to ride it. it discontinued so I reject yzf series including v3 and bought this bike it's have a amazing handling, controlling, braking in comparison of other bikes posture is excellent but all as no one can appreciate that because of lack of knowledge of types of engine it's dohc so initial pick up is slow in comparison of sohc but mid and high range rev is amazing and sound like super bike wind blast zero, sitting is comfortable no back pain and wrist pain. No heating problem and the most one service center technician are idiots no knowledge about how to deal cbr, if you are in lucknow don't visit Jugal kishore Honda visit Honda hajratganj and envision Honda thedipuliya ,don't use Honda genuine engine oil it is an grade of 10w30 but company recommend 10w40 I use motul but remember motul recommend 1.2l but put 1l only when I use Honda genuine oil clutch plates burned in starting of winter so I recommend to avoid engine oil only. Currently achieve average in city is 39 while commuting in 60 km/h but while above the 60 km/h. I achieved 36 km/l in highways it give 42 km/l while cruising at 90 to 110 km/h. In last there are one common problem no one is put hands on cbr in after market easily and giving cbr to an un expert technician is to kill your calmness. In last cbr is not an machine it's a feeling for my self and many.

Beauty and the beast
2 years ago
Irfan Rashid
Hello there i bought my cbr150r back in 2013. There were many options then like 220f, NS200, Duke200 but Honda is Honda you can rely on it. Though me and my bike have crossed 1lac kms and still the engine is untouched and its still going strong, That's the Honda's reliability. Coming on riding. Its fun to ride its performance loaded bike well you can use it as a daily commuter as well and also as a beast mode. Even it gives tough competition to NS200 and RS200. Even I have gone to Ladakh on my it and it was quite comfortable. The looks are genuine. Its love it or hate it bike. But I love it and the performance is unmatched. But the low torque doesn't give you the thrust in the start but the mid and high range is awesome. Maintenance is a bit costly but is worth. As i have crossed 1lac kms. As far as i am concerned the bikes of other brands won't last long as this. The only con of this bike is its low torque-its not just a machine its an emotion.

In these 7 years and 1 lac+ kms, i never ever faced any breakdown (except one small battery issue that's too because of service center error). I have used it on extensive long ride, in scorching heat in gujarat, continuous rains of western ghat, freezing temperature in night rides, jungle and broken roads in west coast. Bike never disappointed me in terms of reliability, Looks: it is subjective to individual. Personally, in my opinion honda has not done good job in this area. When i bought in 2012, only 4 colors were available and all of them were equally disappointing. I chose candy green which was relatively better.Comfort: very comfortable for daily commute and long rides. Even after 7 years, i never faced any back pain or wrist pain issue. Surprisingly equally comfortable for pillion as well. This pillion feedback is from person who actually completed thousands of long ride with me. Bonus is grab rails for pillion which can be used for luggage cord also.Mileage: fuel efficiency is good. I get 36 kmpl in city and 42 kmpl on highway. There are occasions where i touched 44 kmpl as well. This also depends upon how punctual you are for service. I have never ever missed even a single service. All of them done on time.Build quality: when it comes to engine, i don't think any other bike or manufacturer can beat honda engine. Even after 1 lacs kms, i never changed clutch plates or any other part which involves opening of engine casing. Rock solid engine. However build quality of fairing and other plastic part is inconsistent. Fitting is uneven leaving space in between plastic parts and sometimes annoying vibrations. Service: this is very inconsistent area. I got my bike serviced 4 different service center in 7 years (3 in mumbai and 1 in bangalore). All the service centers in mumbai are just pathetic with no knowledge at all (specially jhaveri honda in parel, instead of mechanic filled with jokers). I moved to bangalore when odometer reading was 50k and from there onward getting it serviced from ananda honda which is brilliant. Honda need to standardize and improve it. Parts availability is never a concern in bangalore but in mumbai it was a big problem.Cons: 150cc engine is just enough. With pillion and luggage, it runs out of breath on ghat sections. Little more power could have made big difference.

Fun to ride , butter smooth engine and Reliable
3 years ago
Neeraj Das
I bought CBR 150R in 2013 now it's 2020, that's almost 7 years ago I bought it. It's Still running well. The service center is just pathetic. They will just literally destroy your bike the mechanics are some bunch of idiots . That's why I service it in some reputed local garages outside. The performance is awesome for 150cc category. It's under-powered in low end and decent in mid-range and it's just a beast in top end there is not much pull from the engine below 5,000 rpm after 5k rpm the bike pulls really well and when it reaches 7k rpm it literally becomes a beast. It can easily reach 140 kmph and it's top speed is around 150kmph , if you use Premium engine oil. But if you use mineral oil don't expect much performance and mileage . The bike vibrates at the speed of 80 to 85 kmph and lags power if you use cheap mineral engine oil. I used motul 7100 and 300 V2 with Loqui moly oil additive and then the bike became butter smooth . I cruise at the speed of 100 to 110 without any vibrations. And mileage is around 38 to 40 kmpl in city and 45 to 48 in highway if you cruise at 75 to 80 kmph ( with premium engine oil). It's chain needs lube more early at around 250 kms if you don't lube its chain you won't get much performance.

Excellent pick up and sporty design

I have been using cbr 150r since 8 years. Riding experience is very good. Maintenance cost is high. Spare parts cost much. Excellent braking system. City mileage is about 42kmpl. Stylish sports design. Not suitable for family. Perfect for youth. Price is high. Chain sprocket sound problem. No pass button. Excellent pick up.

I bought cbr 150 r pre-owned because its my dream bike when I was toddler at that time my age is around 12 and I see this bike in commercial ad basically it was an cbr 250 r and I wish to buy it in 150 segment and pray to god and finally it's arrive in India but in 2018 when I am eligible to ride it. it discontinued so I reject yzf series including v3 and bought this bike it's have a amazing handling, controlling, braking in comparison of other bikes posture is excellent but all as no one can appreciate that because of lack of knowledge of types of engine it's dohc so initial pick up is slow in comparison of sohc but mid and high range rev is amazing and sound like super bike wind blast zero, sitting is comfortable no back pain and wrist pain. No heating problem and the most one service center technician are idiots no knowledge about how to deal cbr, if you are in lucknow don't visit Jugal kishore Honda visit Honda hajratganj and envision Honda thedipuliya ,don't use Honda genuine engine oil it is an grade of 10w30 but company recommend 10w40 I use motul but remember motul recommend 1.2l but put 1l only when I use Honda genuine oil clutch plates burned in starting of winter so I recommend to avoid engine oil only. Currently achieve average in city is 39 while commuting in 60 km/h but while above the 60 km/h. I achieved 36 km/l in highways it give 42 km/l while cruising at 90 to 110 km/h. In last there are one common problem no one is put hands on cbr in after market easily and giving cbr to an un expert technician is to kill your calmness. In last cbr is not an machine it's a feeling for my self and many.

Beauty and the beast
2 years ago
Irfan Rashid
Hello there i bought my cbr150r back in 2013. There were many options then like 220f, NS200, Duke200 but Honda is Honda you can rely on it. Though me and my bike have crossed 1lac kms and still the engine is untouched and its still going strong, That's the Honda's reliability. Coming on riding. Its fun to ride its performance loaded bike well you can use it as a daily commuter as well and also as a beast mode. Even it gives tough competition to NS200 and RS200. Even I have gone to Ladakh on my it and it was quite comfortable. The looks are genuine. Its love it or hate it bike. But I love it and the performance is unmatched. But the low torque doesn't give you the thrust in the start but the mid and high range is awesome. Maintenance is a bit costly but is worth. As i have crossed 1lac kms. As far as i am concerned the bikes of other brands won't last long as this. The only con of this bike is its low torque-its not just a machine its an emotion.

Change the oil after every 4k to 5k kms and don't forget the lungs. If you want better performance change the air filter consistently and keep the chain lubed.

Great package for every type of rider
4 years ago
Jagjot Singh
It was a great experience. In short cbr150 is all rounder. We can ride it off-road 70-80 kmph very comfortably And 100 -110 on highway for longer distance. Great pickup (1 gear:51,2:80,3:105,4:120 and so on...It gives mileage of 50-55 km per 100 rs fuel. I bought this bike in 2015 and now its 19 and this bike has same pickup.

Cbr150 r
4 years ago
Saif Ali
Bike is good and comfortable for daily use .Sporty look . Mileage is 30-32 kmpl in city and 42 on highway pickup is decent.150 cc is enough in city. Reached upto 127kmph . Bike runs smooth till 110 kmph speed.Just a con is getting 150 cc at 30 kmpl is a bad deal at same mileage one can get much more power in same segment bike.

Is honda cbr 150 r worthing buying in 2019
5 years ago
Rajas Ansurkar
It was a great bike (till 2014) to be owned as your first bike. The easiest way to describe honda's cbr 150 r is to say that it is a well balanced bike. Although being such a good bike honda failed to upgrade itself along with its competitors and just focused on minimal cosmetic upgrades rather than performance.

she's born in a 2nd February 2017 , Reached 40,000km above, don't buy a CBR and use it for long, it will make you stuck from upgrading others bikes...And blends with emotions by doing everything that we dream to do... So #once_you_are_in_there_is_no_going_back...taste the first blood above 40km/L mileage average speed 110_120, top end 169generally maintenance very costly .
