The special edition has always been popular amongst enthusiasts of the faired motorcycle and the 2022 version adorns the Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) MotoGP paint schemes.
The production of the 2022 Honda CBR150R Repsol Edition is restricted to just 800 units for Malaysia and it will be retailed alongside the existing shades namely Matte Charcoal Grey Metallic and Candy Scintillate Red. It competes against Yamaha R15M, which is already available in India. The speculations surrounding the CBR150R’s return have existed for a long period of time in India.

The Yamaha R15M costs RM14,998 (Rs. 2.68 lakh approx) while the base version is priced at RM11,988 (Rs. 2.14 lakh approx) in Malaysia. Except for the application of orange, red and white combination of colours, no other changes have been made.
