Videos at the Honda Red Zone Media Launch Featuring the 2016 Honda CBR150R

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The "Honda New Model Launching & Media Track Day" was held on September 11, 2016 at Max's Restaurant located in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). All attendees were excited to see the newest motorbike models from Honda, specifically the 2016 Honda CBR150R, which will definitely make any rider feel like a racer.

The looks are something to brag about, and there's three models to choose from with prices varying so little in difference. Depending on your style, you may want to choose the one that suits your needs or personality. You can match them with your current gears, or create a totally new look to ride away to the sunset feeling so proud of yourself.

Who wouldn't want to flaunt these beauties on the road. These motorbikes are not to be stuck inside the garage. They are meant to be seen and admired so many would gawk at the new CBR 150 models. 

Of course, we could all further customize them to become really one of a kind, but the bikes all look good as it is.

Prices ranges around Php 150K - now that's value for your hard-earned money.

Below are some photos of the new Honda CBR 150 and several videos taken during the media launch of the Honda CBR 150 dubbed as The Red Zone, where Honda cordoned a portion of BGC to serve as the venue and track of the Honda Red Zone launch which was open to riders and the public.

Here is the official press release from the event:

Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) is bringing the thrill of racing to the country as it unveils today its newest Honda Gen S sports motorcycle model - the all-new Honda CBR150R.

HPI is giving the local market the chance to experience the speed and power of its latest racing machine, to meet the demand of Filipino riders for a high-quality sports bike.

The all-new Honda CBR150R sports an aggressive design. Its dual keen eye headlight exemplifies its sleek and sporty exterior along with its side cowl, rear side cowl, and new stylish muffler.

Inspired by MotoGP DNA, the all-new Honda CBR150R is equipped with a 150cc, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC – 4 valve engine that delivers up to 12.6kW/ 9,000rpm max power and 13.0 Nm/7,500 rpm max power of torque. Thanks to PGM-FI fuel supply system, which complies with EURO3 emission standard, the all-new Honda CBR150R’s engine is fuel-efficient and environment-friendly.

This model is also built with an innovative truss frame, which is designed to support the engine, maximize performance of Pro-Link suspension system, and optimally reduce engine vibration, resulting in stability, agility and riding comfort.

The all-new Honda CBR150R is also equipped with double disc-brake, digital meter panel with integrated information (speedometer, odometer, trip meter, fuel meter, clock, and engine temperature), new aluminum rear foot step, and secure key shutter.

“Bringing the all-new Honda CBR150R to the Philippines is part of HPI’s efforts to ignite the passion of riding among new riders and enthusiasts. This is their chance to experience the thrill of Honda racing,” said HPI president Daiki Mihara.

Welcome Speech of Mr. Daiki Mihara, President, Honda Philippines, Inc.

Good Morning, Friends in the Media. Welcome to the official launch of Honda Philippines’ newest Gen S Sport bike – the All-New Honda CBR150R! Thank you for joining us and I hope you are ready to enter the Red Zone!!

Before I introduce our new product, let me share with you some exciting news about our local 2-wheeler market performance. The total motorcycle market this year grew by 142% during the calendar year, and over 1Million units were sold in the past 12 months. As a result, the Philippine market is now part of the million market club such as India, Indonesia and Vietnam.

We have also recognized the changing lifestyles of Filipino customers. We have received so many requests for sport bikes that have stylish design, high quality parts, good performance but with incredible price point.

Today, the product that we’re launching will meet these demands. From the CBR series of Honda Racing, we are introducing our newest Honda racing icon, the new Honda CBR150R.

I would like to tell you about three major features of this model:

First of all, CBR150R is equipped with 150cc, Liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC – 4 valve engine. The engine is born out of Honda MotoGP DNA, which provides class-leading performance. Second, CBR150R’s chassis has excellent stability, agility and comfort by weight reduction and mass centralization. And third, this model sports a new aggressive and sporty design with twin LED headlights, better handling and control, and new digital meter panel display.

So, I invite everyone to experience the joy of riding with our latest Gen-S model later at our specially designed track in BGC. It’s time to live the thrill of racing with the All-New Honda CBR150R.

Once again, we’re grateful that everyone is here with us today. I hope to see you all later at the track.

Thank You and Good Morning!
