      It often takes a humiliating overtake to understand that an early jump off the red light won't help them lead the pact. All I want to say is - Go after green.

                I spoke to one of the Honda representative in Auto Expo. He said bookings for CBR150 will start by late March. And both siblings - 250 and 150 will be available in HRC colors as well. The price quoted by him for CBR 150 was 1.2lakhs(not sure if he said ex-showroom or onroad). If its onroad, its going to give the R15 a run for the money.

                Hope this information helps.

                  Yes it is a high revving bike.
                  Peak power at high rpms
                  It is low on torque though at 12.6Nm

                  They only said it will be priced below 1.2lakhs which could be ex showroom.

                  All in all, i told a few people here last year that HMSi was going to be taking the market like a storm individually after splitting from HH/HMC
                  And i was gunned down as a Honda fanboy! by a few people.
                  Well this is what i predicted and this is so far so good!

                    Today morning I called Planet Honda, Bangalore and enquired about 150R.

                    They said more details will come only after one and half month & OTR price would be around 1.25 lacs.

                        Hi all
                        After getting separated form Hero, Honda came up with sizzling bikes and recently Honda came up with it new and amazing sporty bike which is Honda CBR, a bike fully loaded with style and power is now becoming the choice of every youth but this bike is not for the all people as its price is much different form other bike prices in India and will cost around Rs1.4lakhs.

                            Bro, its an all purpose bike. Not just meant for racing.
                            You can use it for your daily chores, vegetable shopping, office rides, touring and what not!

                            If you visit the Funny biking pics thread, you'll see a milkman taking milk deliveries on a red CBR 250R.

                            It is priced very well IMO. Compare it to the likes of (Karizma) ZMR, you'll find that you get a faster, hotter and a better performer for an extra 40-45 grand.

                              Waiting for CBR 150. Just visited Honda Showroom, they dont have any specific dates of when it is going 2 come. Will wait for the price, if its 1.20 around then to be frank it wont be worth. I would go for KTM Duke 200
