Is CBR150R available in chennai
One more question How is the light output at night specially on Highways

for strictly city rider i don't recommend cbr 250 r,rather buy 150 r.why buy a bike which you don't take to its maximum potential?250 r's strength lies in highways.light output is great but not satisfactory if you are used to p220's amazing projectors[according to me a must have for highway mile munchers]

these 2 words suit ninja better.
p.s. not undermining cbr's potential.

p.s. cbr 150r can also tour.

the same dilema again... i have a gud 250 which fits my needs, and then there is a smaller one which is less fiery in to my pocket and does almost the same job and "maybe" looks cooler!

try out test drives .. even for the 150R if possible and choose what suits.. being honda engines all are suitable for touring its the load capaity and top speeds that will vary... all honda engines can take some serious punishments

First order of the day as soon as i find time... did approx 100kms around bang on my twister today , else it would have happened today itself!

any ideas about when the 150's are coming in?

I'm trying to get the shocks of Passion pro, which are of exact length(thats what my mech said) and have a little bit more damping effect. prob next month first week, once my sal comes in.

but heads turn a lot whn am driving it in the city ... evn bad roads seem smooth ...

C-ABS is a blessing whn you are drinin at 75 in T.ngr :P .. cops who stop for checking end up discussing about the bike and buy me free tea :P and after a chat am on way .(and i would not even taken out the papers )...

i just cant explain enough.. get a test drive at the nearest HOnda ... and i dont thing 150R will be available till end of march...

Ya sure i'll test drive it as soon.
But i don't think so Honda ll launch CBR150R in india. Bcz before launching the CBR250R Honda said, they ll not launch another 150cc in India. so that they launched CBR250R instead of 150R

Ya that's a hard experiment but if i got fixed perfectly na it'll give good suspension na. Bcz nowadays i hate the suspension, even my Dad's aviator is good in suspension.

what made you think so?they have showcased in auto-expo,announced tentative launch in march-april.they first launched 250 r so that 150 r doesn't eat into 250's sales.
