This is the widest gap inside one brand: Honda’s cheapest Vietnamese underbone against its full-fairing 150 sport bike. The comparison is less about which is better and more about how differently two Hondas can spend your money. All figures from Honda Vietnam’s official pages (retrieved 23 September 2026).
The core difference
The Blade is a 109.1 cc air-cooled semi-automatic with a four-speed rotary gearbox, kick and electric start, at 21,943,637 VND - the Sport version adds alloy wheels and a front disc. The CBR150R is a 149.2 cc liquid-cooled DOHC manual-clutch sport bike with 12.6 kW at 9,000 rpm, a 12-litre tank and a 72,290,000 VND list price.

What it means on the road
The Blade is the city tool: under 100 kg, kick start as backup, and a price that leaves 50 million dong in your pocket. The CBR150R is a touring-and-track-day machine: double the power, a 12-litre tank for real distance, and the only full fairing in this verified set.
The CBR’s 139 kg and clip-on-style riding position are the daily cost of its 12-litre range and fairing - in Hanoi traffic the Blade is the easier bike to live with, every single day.
Which one for you?
Be honest about your riding. If it is commuting, shopping and passengers, the Blade does everything for a third of the price. If you ride for pleasure on weekends and want highway capability, the CBR150R is the only Honda here that delivers it.
