Taking the best of its know-how in large-displacement motorcycles, A.P. Honda of Thailand has launched the 2017 Honda CB150R ExMotion naked sports bike, with prices starting from 99,800 Thai baht (RM12,847). Trickle down technology into the CB150R from Honda’s bigger bikes include forks taken from the X-ADV adventure scooter, as well as the radial-mount four-piston calliper from the Honda CBR1000RR superbike.
Carrying a 150 cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder with four-valves and DOHC, the CB150R’s power plant is Euro 6 compliant, and is fed by Honda’s PGM-Fi. No power figures have been released for the CB150R, but we would think 20 hp or so would not be out of the question.
“The new 150cc engine which has been developed for top riding performance with excitement… the meticulous design of the body that has shifted the center of gravity to be close to the rider, to make the vehicle to be lighter and easier to control,” said Yoichi Mizutani, president of A.P. Honda.
Suspension at the front uses a 41 mm diameter upside-down fork taken from the X-ADV, and is the largest fork to be featured in a sub-250 cc production motorcycle. Standard on the CB150R ExMotion is ABS with G sensor, installed on a four-piston, radial-mount brake calliper clamping a 296 mm diameter floating front disc.
The CB150R comes with an all-new Inner Pivot Type Diamond Frame, designed to move the bike’s centre of gravity closer to the rider, making it easier to control. Also new is a lightweight swingarm developed using cues taken from Honda’s racing efforts.
Complementing the CB150R’s new looks is LED headlights and tail-light, and a fully digital instrument panel, along with an aircraft-style fuel filler cap. There are four colour options – Pearl Cadet Gray, Millennium Red, Matt Laurel Green Metallic, and Asteroid Black Metallic.
Base price for the 2017 Honda CB150R is 99,800 baht (RM12,847) while the ABS version which comes in gray-black and black paint schemes is available at an introductory price of 109,800 baht (RM14,134). In addition, Honda A.P. Thailand will be releasing three limited edition versions of the CB150R.
Available in a limited quantities, these are the Honda CB150R Street Cafe (500 units) at 135,200 baht (RM17,404), the CB150R Scramble Cafe (1000 units) at 118,400 baht (RM15,241) and 500 units of the as yet unpriced CB150R Moriwaki edition which will be released in October. Also available is a range of accessories developed by Japanese motorcycle accessory makers Moriwaki, G’Craft, and Kitaco
this bike look promising, hope it could make it to malaysia.
Is it my imagination but the bike sure looks like a down sized Yamaha MT-09? Perhaps its for the better,..
Tunggu 1 thn lagi lah masuk malaysia.
Dah 2019 bang, mana motornya?
Nope. More downsized of the 2017 Honda CB500F and upsized of 2017 Honda MSX125 aka Honda Grom. I like it but if direction conversion of Thai Baht is already RM12K++ for a 150cc, imagine if the price tag once available in Malaysia. Also if 150cc is RM12K++, wonder how much the 2017 CBR250RR would cost….
Be thankful that it will only cost that much in MY. Today in SG, this bike cost 15500 SGD. Crazy price for a 2B bike
Pls bring it in and price it below RM10k, with full specs
Likely ain’t happening, standard Honda MSX with 125cc engine on sales for about rm10k already.
For sure if cbr250rr be in malaysia the price might be nearly rm30k due to our money devaluation against foreigh curremcy. Malaysia masih kaya
itu 150CC bang.. wont be more then 15k else ppl wont buy as 250 also near by priced
Even the Limited Edition models of the CB150 costs 15k to 18k
Northen guys have the advantage to go to danok, golok or hatyai and buy this bike. Of course, have to use thai numplates to use in kangar. But, that is common. Petrol is malaysian.
Harapan Satu Malaysia niii
Kita sebagai rakyat tercukur Di dunia ini berasa cukur sekali dengan Ada nya mode transportation jenis cukur ini
Woah..so nice meh….please bring it in…
