The Latest Iteration Of The Honda CB150R Breaks Cover

While Honda does offer a wide range of motorcycles in India, its portfolio still misses out on quite a few models. One such popular bike sold internationally is the Honda CB150R, which has just received quite a few upgrades.

The 2021 CB150R Streetfire sports LED lights all around. Its handlebar has been tapered a bit to enhance rider comfort. The LCD instrument console has also received a thorough makeover. It gets a gear position indicator, speedometer, odometer, rev counter and a fuel level bar.

Powering the bike is a liquid-cooled 149cc single-cylinder motor rated at 16.3PS and 13.7Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

Moreover, the fuel tank along with the shrouds have been redesigned and it has a capacity of 12 litres. The Special edition of the Honda CB150R Streetfire gets a belly guard as well.
