Honda Motorcycle’s subsidiary in Thailand, AP Honda
Co. Ltd., launched the Honda CB150R ExMotion on September 5.
The Honda CB150R ExMotion is based on the Honda
150SS Racer concept that was showcased at BIMS 2017 in March. The design
follows the “ExMotion…Life in Exciting Motion” philosophy. It features LED
headlamps with black horizontal bar splitting the cicular profile etched with
‘Honda’. The bike also gets an LED tail lamp and LED turn indicators. The
upside down front forks finished in golden colour add a bit of contrast to the
single tone paint job devoid of decals. This particular example is finished in
Asteroid Black. Other colour options include Matte Laurel Green, Millennium
Red, and Pearl Cadet Grey.

fuel injection and liquid cooling. The engine is Euro 6 compliant and it is
mated to a 6-speed transmission. The company hasn’t specified the exact power
and torque outputs.
