RE: Honda CBR 150R, anyone?
Tops out around 100 MPH? With 21 HP? I'm not sure I believe that. Ninja 250s have 34 HP at the crankand top out at a real (not indicated) 105-110 with an average weight (160 lb) rider.
How much does it weigh?
One hundred percent better than a moped/scooter though. Definitely got that baby CBR look.
EDIT: Did some research -- I guess it weighs in at about 250 lbs dry. Most people report that they can get it to an indicated 150-160 KPH which is 90-100 MPH indicated. Weghing 70 pounds less than the Ninja 250 helps there I guess.

Sweet little thing, except for the tire size. Looking at it from the back, it kinda makes you wonder why the pedals are missing :P Nevertheless, I'm sure it's a lot of fun.
I really don't see why Honda wouldn't sell the 150R in the States. The market down there is a lot bigger than it is up here

@ O lively:
indeed it is really light, weighting only 250lbs, quite easy to flick the bike side-to-side when changing lanes
@ Ninjaharhar:
yep right, the bike weights around 250lbs, with me (165lbs) on board and wide tires (Bridgestone Battlax BT45 100/80 F & 130/70 R), I managed to do 105mph... if I were lighter by, say, around 35-45lbs and had fitted the bike with less wider tires (about 90/80 F & 110/80 or 120/70 R), I guess it is possible to go around 110mph, providing the straight is long enough...
@ dalex:
really? there was a white one?
is it possible to get a picture of it?
because AFAIK, officially, there are no white CBR 150's from the factory... color choices are limited to red, black, and blue (models from previous years also had grey, orange, yellow, silver, maroon, dark blue, and Repsol paint scheme)... in here, there are some white 150's though, custom-painted by the owners...

Looks really nice! But damn, those tires are small! 120 back? I got a 130 front, 180 back on my CBR600 [:-]

i've seen 180's on my friends' 600RR & 1000RR Fireblade... wonder if I can swap the whole rear wheel assembly (Pro Arm, wheel, tires, etc) to my bike...
