The bike sits on a newly-designed lightweight frame for a low and sportier stance. This results in a wet weight of just 135 kg. It’s also quite accessible for many riders with a seat height of just 787 mm. Bad roads won’t be a problem with a 166 mm ground clearance. Speaking of bumps, the new CBR150R features front and rear suspension with adjustable preload.

All of the vital info is displayed on a new two-color (white and red) instrument cluster with a trip meter, fuel consumption meter and gear indicator.

The CBR150R comes with a 12 liter fuel tank. Honda Thailand says the bike is capable of reaching a top speed of 135 km/h.
