Getting a visual update for the year is the 2018 Honda RS150R, which now retails for RM7,999 for the standard and RM8,299 for the Repsol version. The new colour R150R is Pearl Magellanic Black, which is sold alongside the current colours of Pearl Nightfall Blue, Candy Scintillate Red and Repsol racing livery.
Power for the RS150R comes from 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, coupled to a six-speed gearbox and manual clutch, with chain final drive. Honda’s PGM-FI does the fuelling, which makes the RS150R Euro 3 compliant and fuel capacity is 4.5-litres.
Suspension is with non-adjustable telescopic forks in front, and a single shock absorber at the rear. A storage compartment is found under the seat and inside the cockpit is an analogue speedometer with LCD screen showing relevant information such as fuel gauge, odometer and clock.
The RS150R weighs in at 122 kg and seat height is set at 764 mm, while LED lighting is used for the headlights. A single hydraulic disc brake with a 296 mm disc is used up front and a 190 mm disc at the back, with cast alloy wheels as standard.
“The latest color visual for the new 2018 edition of Honda RS150R need to be more imposing to complement its aggressive yet sublime looks,” said Keiichi Yasuda, CEO of Boon Siew Honda Malaysia. The 2018 Honda RS150R will be available in authorised Boon Siew Honda dealers before the end of August.

The dealers markup the price as much
GST down, price drop
Lucky we got no more GST. Bikes, cars and food prices have dropped a lot. Including medicines!
Meantime daily stuff, foodstuff, groceries and other necessities are going up in prices, and will further go up with SST incoming. We’re doomed!
GST: “I’ll be back”
Now 0%, GST belum dihapuskan
Less than 1 month remaining.
Are you guys sure there is a clock on the LED display?
Will take 1 unit soon. With loan of course.
below 250cc no SST
Yet shop still will jack up the price..due to blabla..
Lawa..
I plan to take one of these by early next month. Since SST is not going to impose on below 250cc motorcycle, I believe the price will maintain as of now. I have asked a few shops, the OTR price with insurance will be around RM8700 to RM8800. Cash price not by loan.
Rs150 guna baru 11 bln dah masalah meter tak stabil..dn masuk air..harga mahal..tidak kualiti
I am buying this RS150R based 70% on this review alone. Of course, I have an affinity and Honda DNA too. My very first bike was Honda S50. Thank you.
