Honda CBR 150R is the bike which every bike enthusiast in BD are waiting for. A bike that has less then what an Yamaha R15 V2.0 can gives but in India it cost more than that V2.

So after month of speculation and many frustration for the bikers in BD Honda finally came alive but there are few things to be noted.

1. They won't manufacture the bikes right now ( Except Honda CD 80) as for now they will assemble in Bangladesh bringing parts from India and Pakistan, so as for that the prices won't be lower against its competitor as we were expecting which will disappoint many bikers in BD.

2. Pricing of CBR has been disappointing, I really expected it to be lower than that of Yamaha R15 V2.0 but on the other hand look at the price of Honda Trigger, I think Trigger will be their flag ship and will probably give the other 150cc bikes in its class a very tough time.

3. But the biggest disappointment has been not to see Honda Stunner in the launch ceremony, I really like that bike and I think it is probably the best 125cc bike I have ever ridden but not seeing it really made me sad.

Bangladesh is booming in the industry, over the last 5 years we have reached a new level in this business and with the addition of HONDA alone with others will surely start a good competition among all, so  just wait for few months and save your money as HONDA is coming and then GAME ON.

At last we want to give thanks to Honda Bangladesh officials for inviting us. This is the first time in Bangladesh we invited by a company to cover a Sale launching ceremony like this "Honda Begins Sales In Bangladesh". Hope in near future by the help of Honda BD officials we able to give some test ride review of Honda motorcycles.
