The NEW HONDA CBR150i 2011

Check out the new Honda CBR150i, the latest hot bike from Honda
Philippines. This time around we take a ride with our good friend
Bobby Mencias on his long ride to Bayawan Negros on board his new
Honda CBR150i.

Bobby Mencias is one of the racers and coach for the Honda Motor World
Racing Team. His team participated in the 2nd leg of the Honda One
Make Race which was held in Bayawan so he took his new CBR with him.
He rode together with the Honda Convoy of cars ( Service Vehicles,
HMW Truck, and the Cars carrying the Team ). The Honda CBR150i
reached a top speed of 146 kph. Fuel consumption was 42 kms per
liter (Race Mode) and 60 to 65 kms per liter (Kalma Mode).

During his way back he passed by Toledo, then Balamban, then Transcentral
highway.

"I like the cbr150i. it took me 4 secs to fall in love with it."
