Honda has launched the 2020 model of the CBR150R in Thailand. Speculations suggested that the Japanese brand would introduce USD front forks in the new motorcycle, however, that hasn’t been the case. The 2020 Honda CBR150R features a pair of telescopic front forks that can be adjusted for preload. What’s new, however, are the colour options.
The 2020 Honda CBR150R has four colour
options - Black/Red, Black/Orange, Grey/Red, and Red/Black. No Repsol Edition
livery for the new model. Out of the four paint schemes, it is the Grey/Red
combination that features the most funky-looking graphics. It also has
different coloured alloy wheels - the front is red whereas the rear is black.
Apart from the added colours, no other
changes have been implemented in the new CBR150R. The motorcycle continues to
flaunt its gorgeous dual-LED headlamps that are accompanied by eye-catching LED
DRLs. The low-set clip-ons provide a lean-forward riding position. The sculpted
fuel tank and high-rise tail section impart a sporty look to the motorcycle.
Powering the 2020 Honda CBR150R is a 149cc
single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. It has a DOHC setup and 4 valves. It also
comes with Honda’s PGM-Fi fuel-injection system and eSP technology. The motor
is tuned to deliver a maximum power of 17.1 PS at 9000 rpm and a peak torque of
14.4 Nm at 7000 rpm. It is mated to a 6-speed transmission.
Honda is asking THB 99,700 for the 2020 CBR150R. The motorcycle is quite popular amongst the enthusiasts
in the Southeast Asian country. It competes with the likes of the Yamaha R15.
