Honda CBR150R: latest 150cc bike in Malaysia

Advertisement

Honda CBR150R

With fuel prices expected to go up in the next election, many will be looking at ways to reduce fuel expenditure. While Ratan Tata wants to convert motorcyclists into car drivers with the Tata Nano, there is no such thing here yet and for those who are already driving cars with small engines, the only way is to go down and replace the transportation method of certain short commutes with a bike instead of a car. I myself have purchased an old 2nd hand Kawasaki Victor for this purpose.

One of the latest “hot” yet relatively affordable sports bikes in the Malaysian market is the Honda CBR150R, brought in officially by Boon Siew Honda Malaysia and it costs RM10,363.17 on the road including insurance. The Honda CBR150R is powered by a 150cc (149.4cc) 4-stroke carburetted single cylinder 4 valve DOHC engine with 11.0:1 compression and CDI ignition, mated to a 6-speed wet clutch manual transmission. It produces 18.98 PS at 10,500rpm and 13.5Nm of torque at 8.500rpm.

The engine is water cooled with an electric fan that turns on automatically when needed. The bike has a 10 liter fuel tank which will cost RM19.20 to fill up at current RON97 fuel prices. Front suspension uses telescopic shocks while the rear is a monoshock. The meter panel has a speedometer, an RPM meter, a fuel gauge and a temperature meter. Brakes are discs at both the front and rear, sized 276mm and 220mm respectively.

    bikes should be banned !

    crime wil be less by 50% as its a primaRY transport for those MF thiefs,accidents and fatality wil be reduced dramatically…and no more mat rampit crap….

    it should never be used as a primary mode of transportation..its almost suicidal…

    Alredy ‘basi’ in Indonesia and Thailand. Why did they bring in this old model. Expensive but using carburator. Yamaha FZ150i is up to date with injection engine even the price is lower than this Honda CBR. My dear friends, we better buy CBR600RR. He! He! He! Just kidding.

    Paul! Ain’t there any review on Yamaha FZ150i?

    what a rude comment.even in big cities such as KL or PJ, bikes are still the most practical way to move around.its far cheaper than any 4 wheels transportation ever built.you should be thankful to motorcyclist as they reduced the total of cars in malaysian roads.imagine if all the people going to work by cars, would the road will be twice worst moving-parking lane ever right after the office hour?

    riding bikes whether suicidal or not, it depends on the motorcyclist and other driver.there is still a lot of car driver who was too dumb to give signal when they are going left of right.and this often became fatal for the motorcyclist.and not all motorcyclist dont value their life like mat rempit. i also hate those mat rempit and snatcthieves, but not all motorcyclist are bad as them.

    Hmm, a new racing mod candidate. I guess this motorcycle will not be well accepted as the price of the bike can get a decent kancil or iswara already. 4 strokes engine is still not the cup of tea for 150cc rempit. hehehe

  13. kody said,

    January 30, 2008 @ 8:49 am

    wahlaueh…
    actually the outlook not bad lah… but stability & power wise i dun think this 150cc can perform very well because of weight increase as compare to ‘cub chai’ . That’s why i sell my 2nd car, SAGA & change 2nd hand Virago 1100 (RM12k + 2k…for paint & some repairs), woo.. this bike can perform 0-100 in 6secs (check from internet)… haha…. cheaper way to achieve high speed & pickup if cannot affort high cost performance car… but roadtax…Rm350 annual… Advise for those also look for bigger superbike… do not go for Virago 535… you will regret soon…. for the repair & maintenance… This bike electrical design is having problems…

    This bike reminds me of the olden days where I use my Suzuki VS125 scooter back in Form 4 to commute daily to school… :( kinda miss that baby that once took me up to Genting

    I’m looking towards the dealers bringing in the bigger cc scooters.. it would cost a Vios or maybe a Civic! :P

    e-nabilll, my fren, not every biker is a mat rempit u know…

    not everyone earn enuff to own a car. actually I do earn enuff to own a car yet i choose not to. Why? cos dun hv family to move around, can jimat on fuel, no need to worry about jam.

    Summore less pollution, as mine’s a 4-stroker that dont emit those god-damned smoke…. only thing bad about biking is easier to die, and also no protection from the elements, in which case a car to me is just an overpriced umbrella :-P

    Of cos, not having a car also makes it a little difficult to find girlfren, cos they might find it a turnoff u dun hv car to fetch then around :-(

    e-nabill,
    ko ada $ bli kete, ko pakai la kete elok2.
    ada org mampu bli moto je, so diorg pakai la moto.
    gaya komen ko tu mcm la riders ni teruk2.
    aku pn terasa gak.
    agak2nye la kn, kalu org ckp ko pakai kete buruk, mesti ko marah kn?
    lenkali, bg komen biarla berasas..

    btw, this comment should be mostly related to the bikes above, the specs, looks & performance etc. not the men & their behavior on the wheels, ok?
    if i recalled it clearly, recently a chief gangster was shot dead by the police while he was escaping from the law enforcers in a BMW 3series.
    so is it fair to say that all people driving a 3series are gangsters, isn’t it?

    no offence, just my thought.
    we are both drivers&bikers.
    HAPPY MOTORING :)

    ———————————————————–

    motot ni memang sengaja dicipta dengan fairing kecil
    supaya lebih stabil ketika high speed..
    ada yang sudah test motor ni dengan fairing lebih besar ketika di negara indonesia, kurang stabil ketika high speed, ada goyang2, agaknya body nya ringan..

    maka lebih sesuai dengan fairing kecil seperti mana sekarang ini..
    nampaknya yamaha 150 liquid cooled pun dah dilancarkan kalau tak silap saya.. khusus untuk melawan cbr 150 ni..

    yamaha atau honda? survey dulu forum2 motosikal untuk bantu membuat pilihan bijak

    haha, cool down guys. maybe nabill has just had a very bad experience with rempits recently. give him a break lah.

    i think 10k plus for a 150cc bike is kinda overpriced.

  21. tHe CuLpRit said,

    January 30, 2008 @ 10:01 am

    Ok on bikes (seeing rarely bikes are discussed on Paultan), Honda, Kawasaki & Yamaha should really bring in those 250cc – 400cc bikes they have overseas.

    150cc is still abit of a low-end biking option. Problem in Malaysia is, if u want a midrange bike have to go for that damned Naza Blades, which according to feedbacks are lousy bikes. Or this 150cc CBR.

    Why Kawa stop bringing in the ZX-R 250? I think i know, bet our G impose high tax for this midrange models to “help” our local bike manufacturer (read Naza).

    Else, have to go straight to supersports models like those CBR600RRs or ZX6-Rs, which arent exactly suitable for city commuting. And the tax is murderous for those models! Even the “entry-level” Kawa Er6-n costs close to rm50k, if I’m not wrong.

    If only we could have something decent for around rm15k-rm20k. Oh well….

    January 30, 2008 @ 10:03 am

    what? 10K for this 4 stroke?

    better buy Yamaha 135lc. worth buying.. it is also cheaper than this CBR.
    but.. remember.. most top and hot bike.. exposed to be stolen rather than unfamous one. :)

    RM10 per week, 4km daily. home to office..
    i save almost 200 per month with my kapchai.

    kenyataan yang paling hampeh pernah saya dengar..budak kecil pun tahu kiranya tiada orang di malaysia menggunakan motosikal, jalan raya di malaysia ni sesak, parking pun tarakk….

    lain kali sebelum tulis, guna otak dulu untuk berfikir..
    untuk pengetahuan, kadar cukai untuk superbike di malaysia ni amatlah tinggi gila..
    sebab itulah di malaysian ni, amat kurang yang memiliki SBK atau superbike..
    itu pasal lah ramai anak2 muda yang naik motor kapchai, rempit sana sini..
    sebab nak beli SBK x mampu..

    tengok sajalah, mereka2 yang memiliki SBK, cukup lengkap dengan riding gears, sut kulit, kasut, helmet dan macam2 lagi… mereka ni pun tahu sayangkan nyawa sebab kuasa SBK bukan sebarangan..
    ada yang perlukan 10saat untuk dari 0~195km/h standard kilang, tanpa ubahsuai… itulah baru nikmat naik motor.. hahaha…

    orang yang naik motor pun manusia juga, bukan semuanya kaki rempit.
    lagipun tak semestinya yang bawa kereta tu semuanya pandai2 bawa kereta, yang bahalul pun ada, double parking, keluar masuk simpang tanpa bagi signal, cucuk (tailgating) dan macam2 lagi…

    malah orang yang naik kereta ni lagi suka merempit di jalanan sebab yuran nak masuk trek untuk kereta lebih mahal dari motosikal..

    OMG…RM10k for a bike..kidding me??? Infact this not a new bike at all..still use the same platform of NSR150RR launched somewhen 15 yrs ago to fight with Yamaha TZM150..Fuhh. But i think i know why Boon Siew did this.May be this is their last resort to wollup maximum profit before being taken over by Honda Motor Japan.. Last month Honda Motor Japan CEO attended some function in Penang with Boon Siew..MOU signing may be??

    ***********************

    could you please share with the other readers how did you calculate that “crime will be less by 50%” if bikes are banned? do you have any official statistics to support your statement? haha next time leave the numbers out if you don’t have any facts.

    mat rempit is not the only nuisance on our roads. don’t tell me you haven’t experienced wannabe race car drivers on the road?

    accidents and fatality are caused by man, not machines. it is how you ride your bike/drive your car that determines the road safety. you drive a car with a 5 star safety rating recklessly, you could also die, killing other road users as well.

    anyways, thank you for making this forum a fun place with your shallow comments.

    p/s: “will” is spelled with TWO “L”s…not one.

    hey Paul, how is your Kawa Victor? Still powerful? I remember the last time I had mine, one mean machine.

    This new honda model really sux in the looks department. we will never get the same look as Yamaha TZM. This honda will looks better if the body cover is made wider.

    Yep, if only the fairing could be made to look bigger like Aprilia 125RS/ Cagiva Mito should be cun enough…or even Yamaha’s cool looking YZF-R125 which is available in Europe.

    giler mahal RM10K for 150cc. gahmen ni kalo nak krg sesak jln, kasi tax superbike krg sket laa. tak pun, kasi naked bike nye tax rendah dari R-bikes, sebab selit kete + city driving better with naked bikes. ada sape2 nak jual kawa z750/z1000? gua nak beli weh. tak tahan naik kete dah!

    since this is going nowhere , back to the topic,HONDA CBR150R !

    Hey fren… better dun go for ZX-R 250…why, maintenance will kill you… it costs more than 500cc bike because the engine is shrink size from bigger cc & smaller components which subject to easier worn out… may be ZZR250 is ok.
    If can’t affort for new superbike just go for 2nd hand… may b need to reserve few k for repair to optimum condition… :)

    kody, yea true, I heard the old ZX-R250 alot of problem. But then I wonder why they don’t come out with newer models.

    Seriously Honda, Kawa and Yamaha should consider coming out with naked bikes between 250cc-400cc, especially to cater to our market, as kk had mentioned.

    If you check international homepages of all the bike companies also you wont find midrange models. Partly due to the fact that the supersport models weigh damn light these days (160kg or less for a 600cc!)

    you know why? if you been in US you will find the roads are broad & straight… so mat salleh like high cc…. that why 400cc below not very popular & practical for long distance travel.
    for 600cc below 200kg is ok at least you can meneuver more freely…

    _______________________________________________________________

    I can’t imagine what the price tag would be like for that model. it’s a yzf, similar to r1 design, it’s great bike, so the price should be along with aprillia rs125 or cagiva mito ev.
    but i like the design of fz150i, naked. if it have similar characteristic as lc135, it should do very well in the market. still looking for a review on that bike.

    from the local newspaper review of the bike,, the rider size overwhelm the tiny dimensions of the bike. To look good, the bike need to have some “meat” to it, at least it has the size of a sportsbike.

    All you guys who prefer the Yami FZ150i are stupid its an old ugly thing with an SOHC 2valve motor that doesnt even put out as much as the CBR 125. The CBR 150 is the most powerful 4 stroke under 200cc engine produced with a 4 Valve DOHC (double Overhead Cams) engine as opposed to a single overhead cam(SOHC) To put it in power perspectives. FZ150i 11Horsepower CBR 125R 13Horsepower CBR 150R 17Horspower, mine with its racing parts and free flow exhaust is pushing on the dyno 24Hp i get close to 170Km/h on a downhill and its small enought to be perfect commuter in traffic jams buts still has the power to get you out of unwanted situations the official specs put the top speed at 160, now altho completely illegal to do this speed it shows the bike does not lack power it also boasts brilliant handeling and is very very stable at high speed. did i mention the motor is like frikken bulletproof i got bike back from service where they didnt put oil back in the bike i drove it for a week before checking my oil when i filled up. a whole week without oil and no damage i know this cos i immediately sent bike back for them to check the damage that may have been caused and there was no visable dammage. so far i have done 27000km without a single hic up. as far as small bikes go its perfect absolutely perfect its a pity its been discontinued my friends all own the 125CBR’s and i hate them too underpowered. there is nothing i can say bad about this bike except it would look better with fatter tyres but its not neccessary, i go around corners knee on the ground with a decent set of takkies it never looses grip.

    Though the bike looks are very good..and having a lot of exciting feature…this bike has weight near to only 115 Kg..which is very less.
    This bike will get shaky after speed reaches to 80-90 Kmph… which is very dangerous and not giving the fun of driving…

    Please take test ride before u gonna to buy it……………..

    YES ! CBR150R the all way to go ahead tooo…
    the FZ150I is nothing then a normal old slow rider imported from Indon whereas CBR150R from thailand where the parents are from Japan.

    Go forward HONDA !!! :)

    Hi Nilesh..

    How sure are you that it will shaky after 90km/h ?
    had u ever ride it ?

    Had hands on the bike…and its awesome….to the point, the bike is much stable after 90 -110 and its handling improved alot after crossing 9K rpm…..

    superb performance !!!

  63. Brian said,

    March 6, 2009 @ 5:12 am

    NO WAYS DOES THIS BIKE EVER BECOME SHAKY I HAVE TAKEN IT TO AND OVER ITS RECORDED TOP SPEED OF 160KMH AND IF ANYTHING IT BECOMES MORE STABLE AS IT SINKS NICELY INTO ROAD I USE THIS BIKE EVERYDAY IN 1YEAR NOW I HAVE PUT 25000KM ON IT NOTHING IS AS ADVANCED AND SUPERB IN ITS CLASS! IT IS THE BEST 150 FOUR STROKE. and just look in aftermarket bike shops for exhausts i have a stealth performance pipe on mine makes a lot of nice noise with this pipe also upped horsepower by 3

  67. Dev said,

    stock top speed tested is 160 km/h….oc course with proper engine oil and after proper break-in.

    rpm on 100km/h on 6th gear is 7000-7500, 120 at 9000. 150 not sure yet

    This bike is awesome! I have been riding it since July ‘08 and joined Honda CBR 150 R Club for convoys around Malaysia. Grab a March 2009 Roda Roda Magazine and you’ll be able to see 4 pages covered about our convoy to the East states of Pahang, Kelantan & Terengganu.

    Fuel consumption is superb! Power displacement is very good and changing of gears are smooth.

    Aftermarket parts are widely available, especially in Thailand & Indonesia where they consistently courier the good to Malaysia.

    why malaysia sale superbike is so expensive than outsider like singapore,thailand and etc..even it is a same model,same quality and years.Example like Honda CBR 600rr,its very-very expensive RM 53,000 for SECOND HAND unit even you survey around kuala lumpur or selangor area the price would be the same maybe more high…i’ll realize malaysian rising the tax for import bike.200%…Woooo more expensive than car…come on how come they increase the tax for Vehicle called BIKES(superbike abviosly).I have a friends of mine said,” at my place if you buy Ducatti 999cc for new model it only worth 30k Aust Dollar…in malaysia is damn expensive price for that model was RM300k++….why we pay tax so high,for what purpose??any idea……i love motorbike more than car but i can’t fulfill..just dreaming thats it……

    4 strokes enjin are under-powered !
    my 110cc Suzuki’s maxima speed is only 90km/hour
    what is the 150cc bike’s top speed?
    120km/hour? maybe?

    Yamaha 110cc 2 stroke enjin can run 130km/hour.
