Comparison: Honda CBR 150 R vs Yamaha YZF – R15

HISTORY:-Honda had a very powerful 150cc 2 stroke in their cards about a decade ago. The NSR 150. But the emission norms caught up with Honda and they were forced to pull the NSR off the market in 2001/2002. At about the same time, Honda decided to build a 4 stroke 150cc as a replacement for the NSR 150. A 150cc worthy to wear the CBR badge. And so the CBR 150 R was born. The old ceeber had a screamer engine and produced 19hp and 13.7 nm of torque. But again the people at EPA decided to tighten their grip on the emission standards and that again made Honda redesign the CBR 150 R. They added a fuel injection, did some cosmetic changes, fiddled with the exhaust and voila the new 2011 CBR 150 R was born. The CBR in its new avatar made less power, got fat but looked better and the EPA people was happy.
Now about the new CBR? Unlike the R15 engine which is based on a T135 moped engine, CBR’s engine was built from scratch. Its High revving DOHC 4 stroke in its current Fuel injected form produces 17.6 ps @ a high 10500 rpm and maximum torque of 12.66nm @ 8500rpm.

NOW THE YZF R15
YZF R15 was already a superb motorcycle. We thought Yamaha cannot make an already great design better. But they did! and 4 years later after the release of the R15 V1.0, in came the R15 V2.0. With a much better handling package, styling package and brake upgrade, the 2.0 was a delight to ride and even better to look at. And all these years Honda stood on the sidelines, silently watching every move of the whole Indian motorcycling industry which included their jap rival, Yamaha. And after the Release of the R15 V2.0 Honda couldn’t wait no more and they brought their 150cc screamer as a worthy rival to the R15. Enter the CBR 150 R

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THE DASING BLACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks:-----------------------------------------------------------------------

How does the CBR look? It looks almost similar to its bigger sibling, the 250 R. From the front it looks very much similar to the 250 R. The 100/80 size tire on the front adds to the beefy looks. Same story from the sides but one can easily notice the shorter wheelbase and shorter exhaust of the 150R. Rear, even though it looks similar to that of the 250R the smaller 130 section tire will easily give away the 150 R. CBR has “VFR”ish smooth curves which looks good in person but nothing that we haven’t seen. The design lost its freshness as the previously released CBR 250 R has the same styling. It looks simple. More like a sedate full faired sports tourer than a sport bike. In fact very few people noticed that we where riding a CBR 150 R. When riding along with the 250R, people wont notice the subtle differences between the two. The paint quality on the panels and tank was nice. But the glossy touch on the Frame and clip ons could’ve been avoided. It not only looks cheap but also doesn’t jell well with the overall look of the motorcycle. There are also quite a few exposed elements of the engine and electronics which is an eyesore. Switch gear also lacks a premium feel. Cost cutting is eminent when looking at the Switch gear. It doesn’t offer a pass switch or an engine kill switch. So when you stop and start the bike in traffic, you’ll have to wait for the self check to complete. But as a compensation, self check completes quite quickly. Rear view mirrors offers good view.

THE YAMAHA R15

The R15 on the other hand looks gorgeous from every angle. It is sharp, aggressive and mean. Both from the front and rear. Every panels are painted in matching color tones. No Glossy metal parts on this one other than the tank and rims. In looks department R15 V2.0 takes the cake. R15 V2.0 also got better build quality. A lot of effort has gone into designing the fairing of R15. you will really have to look hard to see the engine parts through the fairing. The mesh which covers the slots on the fairings looks up market. Rear view mirrors are set wide apart and are also useable and offers unobstructed view of the rear. There are also minor things like the dual throttle cable on the R15 versus the single throttle cable on the CBR 150R. Everywhere an R15 V2.0 goes, there will be some one admiring its looks. And according to a few bystanders the R15 V2.0 looks the best and we won’t disagree.

THIS NEW JAGUAR XF directly shake your heart........................

Outstanding and exceptional, the all new Jaguar XF provides sporting luxury at its best combining the aggressiveness of a sports car with the luxury of a sedan. With ample amount of space, this saloon like car offers refined style and performance to buyers. The rich character of the 2012 Jaguar XF is immediately evident and the model offers the luxury sedan segment with a bold new alternative to the regular traditional offerings.

This is the dream car for all Big boys

The brainchild of car designer, Silvia Venturini Fendi, the Maserati GranCabrio Fendi will be the marriage of two stellar Italian brand names: Maserati and Fendi. The end product, the open hood car, is a perfect blend of perfect craftsmanship and Italian design. The car was exhibited as a luxury sports car at the Frankfurt Motor show in the year 2011 and touted as the collaboration between Maserati and Fendi.

The engine is 4691cc V90° proficient at churning out 446 HP at 7000 RPM, with a peak torque of 490 Nm at 4750 RPM. The timing is activated by two overhead camshafts per bank coupled with four valves per cylinder, which are controlled by hydraulic tappets. This ensures superb accelerations and turns even at high speeds. The 7-speed ZF automatic transmission comes with a hydraulic torque converter to enable extremely fluid gearshifts.

Torque is at an astounding rate of 490 Nm at 4750 RPM. The engine is coupled with a 7-speed automatic transmission gearbox with paddle shifts. The house of Fendi adorns the entire vehicle with its trademark design. The brake calipers and the double-stitched, quilted leather seats are a classic Fendi yellow. The gear knob, dashboard, door panels, and the steering wheel are adorned with Fendi Pergamena wood. To finish off the interior design, Maserati used Fendi’s Selleria leather range, the Cuoio Romano, to fit the carpet, gear level, instrument dials, and the travel kit.

Sports car enthusiasts will not be disappointed with the sound the engine makes. It is an eargasm as the by-pass valve manages the engine making it purr or roar like the one you want. The “Sports button” releases the pneumatic valves and the thunders to 3000 RPM and you can roar on the road like a lion let loose.

The Maserati GranCabrio Fendi also comes fitted with the Skyhook suspension (that detects acceleration via sensors in all four wheels), which is electronically controlled. This system continually adjusts the damping. This means that the car can effectively adapt to your driving style and road conditions to give the utmost in driving pleasure. The handling is controlled by Maserati’s proprietary MSP (Maserati Stability Program), which comes equipped with ABS and EBD as standard.
