Honda just dropped a jaw-dropping limited edition of the 2025 CBR150R in Malaysia, and it’s got everyone buzzing. Dubbed the CyberRoar, this special edition is a head-turner with its bold design and a nod to the Malayan Tiger. Limited to just 250 units, it’s as exclusive as it gets. I’ve been geeking out over the details, so let’s dive into what makes this bike so special and why it’s got the motorcycle world revving with excitement.
A Paint Job That Roars
The CyberRoar edition is all about standing out. Honda went all-in with a magenta and black dual-tone color scheme, splashed with striking orange tiger head graphics on the fairing, headlamp, and tail section. It’s bold, it’s fierce, and it screams personality—definitely not your average sportbike livery. This isn’t just a bike; it’s a statement. Whether you’re cruising through city streets or parked at a café, this CBR150R is guaranteed to draw eyes.
What’s even cooler? Each CyberRoar comes with a gift pack that includes an SJCAM C100+ Mini Action Camera, a LUVIN G8 Motorcycle Bluetooth Intercom, and a sleek backpack with LED reflectors. It’s like Honda’s saying, “Go out, ride, and capture every moment in style.” At 14,399 Malaysian Ringgit (around Rs 2.90 lakh), it’s about Rs 20,000 pricier than the standard Tricolor and Silver variants, but for that exclusive vibe and the goodies, it feels like a steal.

Same Heart, Same Hustle
Under the hood, the CyberRoar keeps it real with the same mechanical setup as the standard CBR150R. No tweaks here, but honestly, it doesn’t need them. The 149.2cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine pumps out a solid 16.3PS at 9,000rpm and 13.7Nm at 7,000rpm. Paired with a six-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch, it’s smooth and responsive, perfect for zipping through traffic or carving up twisty roads.
The bike’s built on a lightweight diamond truss frame, weighing in at just 137kg (139kg for the ABS variant). With a seat height of 788mm and a 12-liter fuel tank, it’s beginner-friendly yet sporty enough to keep seasoned riders grinning. The suspension setup—37mm inverted telescopic forks up front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear—keeps things stable and comfy, whether you’re dodging potholes or leaning into corners. And those 17-inch alloy wheels, wrapped in 100/80 front and 130/70 rear tubeless tires, paired with a 276mm front disc and 220mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS, make braking a breeze.
Tech That Keeps It Modern
The CBR150R CyberRoar doesn’t skimp on the tech either. You’ve got an all-LED lighting setup for that sharp, futuristic look, plus an LCD console that dishes out all the info you need—speed, revs, fuel, gear position, and more. The Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) is a neat touch, flashing hazard lights during sudden braking to keep you safe in traffic. No Bluetooth or quickshifter here, but for a bike in this segment, it’s got more than enough to keep you connected to the ride.
Why We’re Hyped (And a Little Jealous)
The CyberRoar is a love letter to riders who want performance and personality in one package. It’s a shame India won’t see this beauty anytime soon—Honda tried the CBR150R here before, but it got overshadowed by the Yamaha R15’s dominance. Still, with the 150-160cc segment heating up (looking at you, Yamaha R15 V4 and the upcoming KTM RC 160), I can’t help but wish Honda would give it another shot. The CyberRoar’s bold design and solid specs would make it a serious contender.
For now, Malaysian riders get to bask in the glory of this limited-edition beast. If you’re one of the lucky 250 to snag one, you’re not just riding a bike—you’re rolling with a piece of art.
