Features
The Honda NSR 150 SP is considered an introductory-level motorcycle, and featured technology unprecedented before on such a small bike. This includes Honda's famous pro-Arm suspension, RC valves, and Nika-Sil coated cylinders. The model was designed with a "big bike" look, and featured Repsol colours in a tribute to Michael Doohan. It has a power of 39 bhp (29 kW) from its 150 cc engine.
An NSR 150 SP currently holds the Bonneville land speed record for production 175 cc motorcycles at 104.4 mph.
Australia
The Honda NSR 150 SP was to be the flagship of the Honda range of motorcycles; however, it did not have high sales within its intended market. The 2001-2002 models were introduced to the Australian market and have sold well.
Singapore
This bike is probably the most common sports bike among youngsters who have just gotten their 2B riding license in Singapore, as Singapore's policy does not allow new riders who have just gotten their license to get bigger sports bikes until they have at least 1 year of riding experience.
