Malaysian Honda
motorcycle distributor, Boon Siew Honda (BSH) has introduced the 2018 Honda
RS150R, with a new livery.
The new colour,
called Pearl Magellanic Black, is BSH’s response to RS150R owners who have been
customizing their bikes to reflect their preferences. In other words, a new
colour that allows owners the flexibility of changing the looks of their bikes
without being encumbered by racing stripes and colours such as those currently
available.
The RS150R is
currently enjoying a popular following, hence brisk sales since its
introduction in 2016. Targeted at the sports cub segment, it is one of the
best-selling motorcycles in the BSH’s lineup.
The bike is powered
by a Euro 3-compliant fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, DOHC, four-stroke 149cc
engine. The 11.3:1 compression ratio shows that the long-stroke engine is has
sportier intentions, while Honda’s proprietary PGM-Fi fuel-injection system
ensures optimum power delivery while being economical and
environmentally-friendly at the same time. The engine is then set in a
twin-perimeter welded frame, suspended by telescopic forks up front and a
monoshock at the rear.
The new Pearl
Magellanic Black complements existing RS150R colours, namely Trico Edition,
Candy Scintillate Red, Pearl Nightfall Blue and of course, the Repsol Edition.
