The features and specifications of the new Honda CBR 150R are definitely far more superior when compared to that of the Yamaha R15 version 2.0. The CBR delivers a decent mileage figures of 35kmpl.
It seems to be a close competitor for the Yamaha R15. The CBR 150R will be available in two variants - Standard and Deluxe.
The Standard can be had in two shades, Black and Red, both set against Pearl Sunbeam White while the Deluxe sports additional sporty decals and two colours - Candy Palm Green and Vibrant Orange, both set against Pearl Sunbeam White.
Definitely its gonna be a headache for the Yamaha to stay in competition with its R15 v2.0. .......
