In a local first for Boon Siew Honda, the RS150R kapchai was launched in Kuala Lumpur today at a price of between RM8,213 an RM8,372 by Datuk Seri Tan Hui Jing, director of Boon Siew Honda. The launch was also attended by Malaysian Moto3 racer Khairul Idham Pawi, the first Malaysian to win a Moto3 GP race in Argentina last April.
The locally-assembled 2016 Honda RS150R represents a new direction for Honda in the underbone category as it has traditionally not produced any engine larger than 125 cc for the kapchai market. The RS150R comes with a liquid-cooled 149.7 cc, four-valve DOHC engine that produces 15.6 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and 13.5 Nm torque at 6,500 rpm.
Power gets to the ground via a six-speed constant mesh gearbox and fuelling is with Honda’s PGM-FI, giving the 2016 Honda RS150R Euro 3 emissions compliance. A welded construction twin-perimeter frame cradles the engine, with non-adjustable telescopic forks in front, and a single shock absorber at the rear.
Braking is taken care of by hydraulic discs front and rear, with discs measuring 296 mm and 190 mm respectively, attached to cast alloy wheels. The 2016 Honda RS150R weighs in at 122 kg, and seat height is measured at 764 mm.
There is LED lighting in the headlights, and fuel is carried in a 4.5-litre tank under the seat. As the third country in Asean – after Indonesia and Vietnam – to receive the 2016 Honda RS150R, Boon Siew Honda aims to sell 24,000 units in the next 12 months.
There are four colour choices in two model variants – advanced in Metallic Red and Repsol, and matte blue or black as standard. The 2016 Honda RS150R retails for RM8,213.94 for the standard, and RM8,374.94 for the advanced, and prices include GST. The Honda RS150R will available at Honda dealers nationwide from August 2016.

Why stuck in a jammed?
Hidden due to lowcomment rating. Click here to see.
I prefer to reach home earlier, take a hot shower and have a great time with my family, or ‘relax and listen to music’ in my room if I were single :) Been riding to work for 10 years and avoided countless potential accidents by riding defensively.
Dealing with current weather, you would have long time under the bridge to IMAGINE you are already home, take hot shower or ‘relax to music’ if you are still single, during raining time.
Everything is possible in imagination.
@Same L00r: Except I don’t stop under the bridge when it rains (hint: hot shower) unless there’s a flash flood or typhoon hits Malaysia. Cheers.
that why we got raincoat..
Wira air cond coldest in the world. Car can run for another 10 years no problems at all.
is totally different categories…
how can compare to this. riding bike have the fun of it. other then HOT and PAIN IN your skin when accident. the rest.. is all good of riding motors
Lol wira, accidents car will cacat , u will be cacat , u pocket also will be cacat
with 8k better buy rs150r, no need stuck in traffic jam, no need toll unless enter dap country. hujan? who cares? even 2nd wira pon cant drive 100+ during rain, else landed in the longkang sideways.
kereta accident tiada yang cacat ka?????
Go look around. Can get a good Iswara for RM2000. Good thing about Protons is the depreciate like crazy. Can even get a 10 yrs old Perdana for RM4k.
Nice comfy Perdana vs kapcai?? Which better
yes 2000 can get iswara, but pay patrol like hell, then complaint expensive la this la that la…. pay roadtax same price other car also,but insurance expensive for old car, Tyre need to change then garu kepala, car breakdown nangis,aircond hot cos no money to repair this and that!!..u got what i mean or not?? rm8000 bike is for people who have money,,, rm2000 car is for people who is in middle class and below…2 different situation if u want to compare with.
Of Course the bike is better and more better from car.What do you know about bike. Because you never ride the bike, so you promote others to buy a car. You know the car is liability, so many money has spend to survive your car compared with bike.
WhY wait under flyover if its raining?
@Namasayarain, you must be infected with Same L00r’s bridge aka flyover virus. FYI, there is a thing called raincoat. However, inthe end it depends on the bikers choice whether to get a rain coat or sit under the bridge. As for me, everytime it rains, I just stop for a while, put on a raincoat and continue riding while the traffic jam is getting worse under the rain. My wife doesn,t complain even though she’s a pillion rider. Oh, before I forgot, I also owned two cars and yet in the current KL traffic, I still prefer a bike.
I agree with you. Its all about cost. Even time also need to be costed.
i hv to agree with @rinnegan, i too hv 2 cars, but prefer to commute using my kapcai and have been doing so for more than 10years. i ride wearing a reflective vest everyday and have a rain coat on standby in my Givi box. the time & money i saved i used it on my family. i just cannot stand the daily traffic jammed that i hv to endure if i were to drive daily.
Pro’s
1. Save Time
2. Save Petrol
3. No Toll & Parking (at least cheaper rates to park)
4. Save maintenance cost
5. More time with the family e.g get home early than driving
Con’s
1. Pray it’s not rainy days, otherwise wear GIVI raincoat
2. No aircond, rider exposed to bad smoke from other vehicle
3. If accidents happen, easily injured yourself
4. No class (well to some)
I ride a kapchai before to work, well I must say I much more happier previously compared to stuck in the jam for 1 hour plus just to reach home.. haisshhh
What kind of question is this??
I dont know, but many people answered it. I assume it is a good question. I even gt ur attention.
Try asking this question at the TOLL HIKE post.
riding a bike is fun, more over, u wont get jamed in traffic. i dont know why, but some people just like riding a bike, then driving. you can lap on corner, it just a feeling u can only feel on a bike, not in a car. sure if rain, u will masak, still rain coat, and enjoy the wet. reach home just take shower, later feel so refresh. haha, mother nature giving.
Indonesia : Honda Supra GTR 150
Vietnam : Honda Winner 150
Malaysia : Honda RS150R
the same kapchai in ASEAN
rempits rejoice!
rempit prefer 2 stroke machine, not 4 stroke version, hence the glorifying of rxz, 125zr etc
Wah lau eh, for RM8k better but a second hand Wira or Kancil that can seat more people comfortably
People who buy motorbike like this already own a car
then u and the more people inside the second hand wira/kancil u bought for RM8k can watch in tears all the kapchai passing by your second hand wira/kancil while you and the more people inside your second hand car stuck in traffic jam for hours.
Sorry but riding a bike is more fun than driving that poor man’s car.
With 8 K its either u want to buy wira or honda kaphai its up to one’s preferance…. its just that all kapchai owner does not make any noise when other people are bising about this and that…until the end of the day this people are bising complainng about everything under the sun that they can complain
I’m 60 years old. I have a 2005 Kancil but still need a good kapcai to avoid traffic jam and lack of parking space in town.
The ugliest front signal. Bye honda
Kenapalah lampu signal pelik sangat tersembul keluar. Model kat negara lain cantik je.
2016-Honda-RS150R-launch-6.jpg
These chicks wear so little because the spotlights are hot :-P
Review the yamaha 150 cc kapcai & 150 cc honda kapcai asap.
I cant accept the ugly signal..
Yamaha LC looks better.
Isn’t the disc brakes measured 256 mm front and 220 mm rear?
These were the official numbers from the Honda catalogue. Specifications may change for local markets.
So this must be Boon Siew Honda’s take on Y15ZR by Hong Leong Yamaha. Exciting! I like it.
you excite? topkek
no wonder our motorcycle industry is crap
always kapcai, instead of proper 250cc or above for the mass
More option for Mat Rempit?
Mat rempit cant afford for this price.This is a choice for young/graduate executive rather than buy 9 years loan myvi perasan best.
topkek, mat rempit don’t even like 4 stroke and you said is an option for them, damn my pancreas
but the commercial was referring to different bike.
Good looking overall except for the protruding blinkers though I much prefer it’s slightly bigger sibling CBR150RR as daily bike to office as kapchais fuel tank size just won’t feel suitable for frequent highway ride. Too bad BSHM scared too much to fight with HLYM in small cc sport bike market.
Ask JPJ, MOT, And JKJR about that,, hehehehe
government should ban kapchais. as we’re moving towards high income nation, we should all be riding big bikes.
we cannot put ourselves the same standard as vietnam.
u don’t see kapchais in america.
Honda even sells kapcais in Sweden. Whatcha smoking dude?
Are you a economist?
Dont see kapchais in america becoz their cars are more cheaper than our new kapchais
Saya pengguna VTS200. Naik bukit Turun bukit Hujan ribut… tetap tunggang macam biasa. Setakat basah kuyup tu biasa la.
Tapi, sebagai pemandu, saya paling alah dengan jammed. Betul 4 roda lebih selamat tetapi, tidak jimat masa.
Yang penting, Rambut sama hitam…
choose wisely
Yess.. hujan ribut perkara biasa. The most extreme kena masa ribut kat Dengkil. Hujan je pun, mandi pun basah..
High time kawa to bring in zxrr150 to challenge the market.
2 stroke is dead
Oooooo please dont die,
Price is getting closer and closer to the Honda and Yamaha Scooter.
nice sir.. gas… Honda Supra GTR 150
8k buy y15zr. or save up some more and buy FZ.
Still a kapchai….regardless how many “R” in the name….
With the same amount of money, I can easily go buy grocery and shopping with wifey and kids….happily and safely in a car. Proton pun proton lah.
Toll? No problem for me, as long as I am safer than bike riders out there.
Waste time stuck in jam? No problem. As long as I get home safe and sound and well. While in the jam, I can listen to music, enjoy AC and wind down from hard day work.
haih, safe safe safe, go buy a tank lah..ur puny wira with outdated low strenght tensile steel…bang by r1, u might even killed..
i suggest u dont go outside your house,..even safer..
btw everyone has different acceptable risk and their mitigation but of course there’s always risk residue u cant avoid.
and also making traffic congestion worsening
Top speed berapa?100km/h?
what do you expect from a single cylinder 150cc 4 stroke? to perform same inline 4 600cc than can go 200 km/h above? be realistic, don’t be a douche
He just asking
Why the motorcycles at the image is difference with motorcycles at the video?? Its confusing me.
Grow up guys . Please compare apple to apple . Getting a bike for transportation is not a crime, there is a lot of raining gears these days that can help u in those rainy days, give respect to get respect . Motorcyclist also own cars
What its different RS 150R and RS 150?
Naked and fairing
side mirror old fashiond
honda design getting poorer on each new launch.
The design is poor but this one has a different frame configuration,
Erm,doch engine ….can tune to skyhigh rpm….interm of design=yamaha are more better but still soch…. interm of performance …doch are easy n more potencial to increase hp …plus 6 speed as a standard…not many doch kapchai with japan brand..just suzuki fx125,belang n these honda…these 150cc engine remind me the old nsr 150rr that come 20hp as a standart just like suzuki fx150 but all of them are jdm version ….
Ops ! I make mistake..not nsr150rr but cbr150r….
Rain is not a big deal for bikers. Nowadays roads r congested with cars, this is what matters most to them. I now refrain myself from riding a bike for a long journey only, but during my younger days i was even biking with a cupchai to Mersing, Gerik, Kota Bharu, Kuala Terengganu, Johor Bahru, etc. The experience is so tentative u won’t believe u r growing old fast enough. I’m 48 now n stil love riding a bike. Bravo Boon Siew Honda!
honda really need to give extra effort on bike design.
most of honda’s bike, looks backdated.Even the CBR1000rr.
This moped wins over Y15zr in term of DOHC and 6 speed tranny, but designwise, oh my.
Seriously Honda?
body panel versi downgrade dari supra gtr 150(siap carbon texture).. harap2 enjin x downgrade juga
Honda RS150R for RM 8K+ is too expensive for a cup. I think been markup high. should be around RM 6K reasonable for Malaysians. Kindly advice to lower the price asap.
I have been riding since early 80’s. from small 50cc up to 1200cc, riding bike is for easy and fast to commute from point a to point b or c. What you need is discipline, proper training and proper safety equipment such as Helmet,Jacket,Glove and Riding shoes/Boots.It does not matter the bike small or big cc, you are the one who controlling the bike not the other way round.
Passion! There is something that u cant get while riding bike that u cant get with car.. It’s a real satisfaction when u ride bike everywhere u go no matter the number of cc ur bike have..
Saya penunggang motosikal lebih 20tahun. Saya juga mempunyai kereta yg digunakn untuk bersantai bersama keluarga d hujung minggu @ digunakan untuk keluarga jika perlu membawa mereka ke suatu destinasi. Adalah kurang adil jika anda mencaci @ merendah-rendahkan penunggang motosikal tak kira berapa harga motosikal tersebut(RM4k,RM8K @ RM20K) walaupun anda berjawatan tinggi @ berpendapatan tinggi. Ade juga antara penunggang motosikal itu yg menjawat jawatan besar. Pemandu2 kereta patut berterima kasih kepada Penunggang motosikal kerana mereka jalan raya tidak terlalu sesak dan anda boleh sampai kerumah dlm masa 1jam…tp andai semua penunggang motosikal itu bertindak membawa kereta, apa akan jadi. dari 1jam mungkin 5jam baru boleh sampai ke rumah. berterima kasih lah pada mereka. berilah laluan kepada mereka semasa hujan. jgn jadikan jalan 2 lorong jadi 3 @ 4 lorong sepertimana sering pemandu kereta lakukan semasa jalan sesak malah menggunakan lorong kecemasan. Fikir2knlh. TQ
Saya dah test drive RS. Enjin terasa power.
seat kecil/nipis/kurus sangat.sebab nak tempatkan enjin DOCH.
dengan nilai 8k-9k / 150cc saya fikir RS dan YR15 sangat tidak berbaloi. terlalu banyak body disalut plastik. prestasi datang dari sekuat mana stracture dipasang bukan design. ia hanya arodinamic dan penyedap mata sahaja.
dengan nilai 8k-9k saya sangat menyukai FZ150.
-seat lebut tekan dengan jari pun gebu
-body DELTA BOX / sepatutnya kedua motor ini di reka mengunakan kerangka jenis ini. diamana ia sangat kukuh. selish dengan lori di highway pun tak terasa motor berbuai.
-Fork depan sangat tegap, ini baru standart motor 150cc
-Suspension belakang pro link. sangat streem langar lubang.
– Tangki minyak besar. menambah beat motoragar lebih mantap dan tak perlu angkat seat selalu.
– Perstasi memberik sangat meyakinkan. kerana body berat dan panjang motor kurang terhuyung hayang.
– bila duduk di atas motor aura harga motor dan berat metor sangat terasa meyakinkan bila ditungang.
dan banyak lagi.
saya fikir tak ramai yang mampu beli motor ini secara tunai. bila hutang kadar faedah dah tentu sangat tinggi. adaah berbaloi mendapat motor tidak selisa di duduk. banyak plastik. tak boleh jalan jauh dengan selisa. tunganggan tak meyakinkan kerana body bukan DELTA BOX cuba kira harga motor dengan teliti dan kira berapa harga motor sebenar dan kualiti motor yang akan kita dapat adakah berbaloi..
bro2 yg pakai kereta x pyah la nk belagak sgt…
say arasa semua yg pakai motor pegi balik keje semua dh ada kereta.
saya bukan nk berlagak n ckp besar saya sendiri ada 4 biji kereta …estima acr50 bmw e36 wira turbo n kancil…tapi saya pegi keje lagi senang dgn motor kapcai honda wave125..bukan x mampu isi minyak tapi x sangup mengadap jem…so jgn pertikai kn sesiapa yg nk beli motor on naik motor kapcai x semesti nyer org yg naik moto kapcai ni miskin sgt.
Tukar moto lama sya lc135 tahun 2009 ambik moto honda rs150 berapa kena tambah..bos
masing-masing ada kelebihan dan kekurangan sendiri.ikut mana yang sesuai motor atau kereta untuk kegunaan harian. suka hati masing masing nak beli, duit masing-masing,
Agree with you man, Assalam kau bahagia dgn pilihan dn pendirian Ko Andri, org mcm Ni yg kte nk..
round up RM 8300 sales price by Boon Siew , go to shop RM 8700 (middle finger up)
Bike no need aircon. Lai2 ah
It’s a heavy, strong and looks very attractive bike. Important things, price is little bit lower then others. similar bike People easy to buy it. Bangladeshi citizens are capable to buy and handle it.
