Honda CB150R ExMotion production motorcycle revealed in Thailand; based on 150SS Racer

After **Honda** unveiled its rather aggressive 150SS Racer concept at the Bangkok International Motor Show a few months ago, the company now seems to have announced a production version of the same and has christened it as the Honda CB150R ExMotion.

It has been just five months and Honda seems to have come up with an excitingly modern cafe racer indeed. While the ideas may have been sourced from the 150SS Racer, plenty has changed along the way before it became a production reality in the form of the CB150R. The rounded LED headlamp has been retained, while the under tail exhaust system has now been stuffed below the engine. You get two seats as well, with a rather short pillion seat. Riders will also be greeted by a coloured LCD display on the multifunction meter.

All of that comes in the form of the 150 cc engine with a DOHC 4 valve system (2017), a molybdenum coated piston, water-cooling and PGM-FI tech, which is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

As for that frame, Honda has gone in for an Inner Pivot Type Diamond Frame that been created to bring the centre of gravity closer to the rider for better handling. As of now, there are no details as to when or in which form the CB150R ExMotion would arrive in India.
