Honda will be launching its new CBR150R sports bike next month in India. The bike was already showcased at the last month Auto Expo. It will toughly compete with the recently launched KTM Duke 200. The CBR150R is powered by a 150cc engine and looks almost similar to the company’s CBR250R model. Priced at Rs.1,15,000, the CBR150R will also take on its rival Yamaha R15.
The company plans to place the new CBR150R ahead of Yamaha R15 and slightly lower than the KTM Duke bike. Sources informed that the CBR150R had received strong response from the visitors and hence the company hopes to sell more than 3,500 units of the CBR150R every month after its launch. The bike will be fully built in India.
