The CBR150R, distributed by Honda Vietnam, is already well-known among the biker community in Vietnam. Although it has been imported by private dealers before, the genuine CBR150R stands out because it is imported from Indonesia at a lower price. Moreover, Honda Vietnam provides official warranty policies and a widespread network of dealerships throughout the country, making maintenance and repair more convenient.
Not only does the CBR150R have a competitive price, but it also offers more attractive equipment and features. This small sports bike is the top choice for sportbike enthusiasts.
Flexible operation, comfortable riding position
For those who love the Honda brand, the new CBR1000RR-R Fireblade is the dream sports bike. However, with a high price, it is not suitable for most Vietnamese riders, especially considering the crowded streets and frequent traffic congestion in major cities. On the other hand, the CBR150R offers a lower price and a sporty design that is nimble and easy to maneuver in urban areas, making it an interesting choice for daily commuting.
I tested the Honda CBR150R on a journey of over 100 km, experiencing various types of terrain from city roads to highways and winding mountain roads. The bike performed smoothly and comfortably, thanks to its two-way Assist & Slipper Clutch that provided smooth shifting and stability at low speeds.
With a relatively light weight and a comfortable riding position, the CBR150R is easy to control, even for riders over 1.6m tall. The design innovations, such as the footpeg position, seat height, and handlebars, make it comfortable for riding at low speeds in crowded urban areas. The only downside is the lack of an engine stop switch, which would be a useful feature for waiting at traffic lights.
During high-speed performance on the Nhat Tan Bridge and mountainous roads, the CBR150R remained stable and flexible. The acceleration, although not extremely fast, provided an exciting feeling for the rider. The two-way Assist & Slipper Clutch ensures smooth acceleration and safe downshifting without wheel slippage.
The 17 horsepower DOHC engine and maximum torque of 13.7 Nm are powerful enough for daily city riding and exciting trips on weekends.
Sporty design, outstanding equipment
The latest generation CBR150R draws inspiration from the famous CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, resulting in a sporty and dynamic appearance. The front face features a two-tier LED lighting system, while the side fairings have sharp corners, creating a multi-layered, sharp appearance. The bike’s tail is pointed and high, and the taillight incorporates an emergency stop signal.
The CBR150R is equipped with upside-down front forks from Showa and an ABS anti-lock braking system for both the front and rear wheels. The fuel tank capacity of 12 liters allows for long-distance travel.
Competitive price with attractive promotions
The Honda CBR150R is officially distributed in Vietnam with 3 versions, starting at a price of 70.99 million VND. It offers a leading price in the segment and superior equipment compared to its competitors. The first 500 customers who place an order for the CBR150R will receive a set of 7 accessories worth about 5 million VND, highlighting their personal style.
The Honda CBR150R is covered by a 3-year/30,000 km warranty. Here are the detailed retail prices:
