USA won't get the 150 either. Canada doesn't list the R15 and doesn't even sell the CBR125R anymore since they gave them all away for $2100 after sitting for a year when the CBR250R came out. I wonder if some of the fuel economy advantage of the 125's listed on Fuelly is quite a bit from just a different usage since they will struggle to break 70 mph even if you full tuck. They probably never venture out onto the superhighways. I would still like to try one though. I went on a long trip last summer with a guy and his CBR150R. He was always surprised whenever we filled up and I was over 95mpgUS and he was at 75mpg. He had a pipe and a probably poorly done tune though. And my bike has a truncated tail and 15% longer gearing.
