The Honda Verza (known as CB150 Verza since 2018) is a 150 cc (9.2 cu in) single-cylinder standard/naked bike made by Astra Honda Motor in Indonesia since 2013. It is the stripped-down counterpart of the CB Trigger and Unicorn, two related motorcycles sold in India, lacking some features of the Trigger and Unicorn.

The Verza is positioned below the more expensive CB150R StreetFire in Astra Honda Motor's sport motorcycles lineup, and intended for more economical purposes rather than performance outlook.

History

The Verza was introduced by Honda in January 2013 as the cheaper alternative to the CB150R StreetFire. The second iteration, called CB150 Verza, was launched in February 2018. This model has a retro-styling approach rather than modern approach from the previous model.
