The discussion already went somewhere and was answered by several people before this "who will win" war came up. Nobody is asking anything because all relevant queries have been answered

@Killer thanks for the info

The problems is with the name CBR ! While it should have been called the VFR 250 ! Hope people understand the difference.

And about the query raised by the thread starter . If you want a ' Little sporting ' feel I would say pick the VFR .. Sorry CBR ! . If you want ' more sporting feel' pick the supersports R15.

Heard VFR stands for V Four Racing. V for the engine configuration, Four for the number of cylinders. If thats correct, than the CBR250 is nowhere near that description.

hmm.. That was the time of the RC45 and RC 51s when they were called V for racing ! Not the time of the hog VFR1200. It's still a V four built ( it is called the V four cylinder ) for another purpose and not pure racing and that was what I had meant rest is upto the readers to take it !

The bike feels under powered when riding on hills (even if you ride solo). Feels under powered even on straight roads unless you keep it revved up considerably. The bike is very nimble and a superb on corners.

The CBR has more of a relaxed engine. You dont need to rev it as hard as the R15 to feel its power.

try to figure out which type of ride you prefer. I for one love revving the nuts off the engine so the R15 was a nice choice for me. But its not the case for everyone.

Also, your options just increased.. would suggest u take a look at the New CBR 150 R as well if you are really going for a sporty feel .. AFAIK, the CBR 250 is more of a tourer than a sports bike. relaxed seating, torquey nature etc..

Based on your original post, the ideal bike seems to be either R15 or the CBR 150.. But then again you will need to wait for it if you choose CBR.

Hope i didnt increase your confusion

Good post

I've been frequenting the Bajaj Probiking Indiranagar outlet related to my new bike, which is supposed to be delivered on 16th. The Duke is setting its wheels in Bangalore anywhere between January 21st to 24th. I'll keep you guys posted.

No, the test ride vehicle hasn't arrived yet. They're still waiting for the clearance and registration from the Bangalore RTO.

I've been a regular at the showroom. I shot the Duke 200 today, and here's the link to the photos.
