2017 Honda CBR150R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Honda's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2017 Honda CBR150R relies on a 149.6 cc (9.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16.9 HP (12.3 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 13 Nm (9.6 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 113 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the CBR150R measures 138 kg (304 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.17 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 787 mm (31 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,305 mm (51.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
