Honda (HMSI) shows off its sporty motorcycles for India.. the racy CBR150R..!!
Honda unveils its latest model targetted at the Yamaha R15, the CBR150R at the 2012 AutoExpo..!!

The CBR150R would be more of a "Race track tool" than the "Sports tourer" like CBR250R...
Both the CBR250R and the CBR150R is manufactured in Thailand so probably we can expect the CBR150R to be manufactured in India as well (since HMSI makes the CR250R in India). At first glance the CBR150R appears similar like its elder brother the CBR250R, but there are some differences between the two models which are skin deep.
For example, the frame of the CBR150R is a bit more sporty and has a "perimeter" element to it (apart from having a downtube as well) wheareas the CBR250R usues a simpler "tubular diamond" frame. The exhaust can of the CBR150R is also shorter and more pleasing to the eye than that of the CBR250R.

The engine of the CBR150R sold in Thailand is a single cylinder, liquid cooled, DOHC 4 valve unit and develops its max. power of 17.8 Ps at a higher rpm (10,500..!!) than the relatively mildly tuned CBR250R. With a sportier chassis and an engine with a sportier state of tune, we can expect the CBR150R to be more of a "Race track tool" than the "Sports tourer" like CBR250R.
Looks like the Yamaha R15 finally has some serious competition.
Price: The official pricing has not been announced, but it's probably safe to expect a price hovering around the Yamaha R15 Version 2.0's current (i.e between 1.10-1.25 ex-showroom Delhi)
Launch Date: It's being stated as the "second half of 2012"
Specs comparision with the Yamaha R15 V2.0 and the CBR150R sold in Thailand:
