The latest Honda CBR150R gets its power from the same 150cc engine that is being used in the outgoing version of CBR150R, but the engine of 2015 CBR150R has been tweaked to provide a better performance. The all-new fuel injected motor is mated to a 6-speed transmission and is tuned to develop 18.28 bhp of power along with 12.66Nm of torque.
The company is claiming that this new Honda CBR150R is not a facelifted bike, it is a whole new machine.

It's not only tweaked in terms of power and engine but also gets redesigned larger rear split seat and the rear swing-arm are now longer by 13 mm. All these things give it a pure sportier appearance. Apart from this, the bike has been equipped with an all-new design, new LED headlights, digital instrumentation, sportier riding seat, LED side blinkers and new exhaust system.
