The Honda CBR150R and the CBR250RR already have us drooling over them, thanks to their radical aesthetics and top-notch specs. Rubbing salt in our wounds, Honda has now unveiled HRC liveries for both motorcycles in Indonesia. In true HRC fashion, the new liveries use red, blue and white colours, resembling the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade’s graphics.

The tricolour has been an insignia for the Japanese manufacturer as it represents Honda’s strong performance in two-wheeler motorsports, starting from the Isle Of Man TT in 1979 to its recent back-to-back title-winning run in MotoGP.
