The 11th Inside Racing Grand Prix has just witnessed Honda  Philippines Inc. (HPI) release a new variant of the RS150. It's called  the RS150R and it features a racing-inspired look, along with  MotoGP-derived technologies.

As mentioned earlier, the RS150R takes inspiration from both the  CB250RR and CBR150RR's Honda Racing Red design. This gives the underbone  an aggressive and racing-inspired look with matching stripes to boot.  Standard features available in the RS150R include LED headlights and  signal lights, digital instrument panel, full-chrome muffler, and  clip-on handlebars.

With an emphasis on giving total control to the rider, the RS150R  features a twin-tube frame that Honda claimed will deliver improved  agility by providing a wide steering angle and a narrow handle width. It  measures 1941mm long, 699mm wide, 977mm tall and has a relatively short  1275mm wheelbase. Its seat height, on the other hand, measures in at  764mm.

Telescopic front forks sit at the front while the rear gets a  monoshock damper. In addition, both the front and rear wheels have disc  brakes.

Powering the RS150R is the familiar 150cc liquid-cooled DOHC  single-cylinder engine. It produces 15.6 PS at 9000 rpm and 13.5 Nm of  torque at 6500 rpm. It is then connected to a 6-speed constant mesh  transmission.

A unique safety feature called Bank Angle Sensor comes as standard on  the new RS150R. Derived from Honda's bigger, more powerful motorcycles,  this feature automatically switches off the engine before hitting the  ground during an accidental fall.
