Re: Honda CBR 250R

Any news of it being a 250 or 300 or anything on the pricing??

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Too many speculations flying around on this, none worth being trusted, so all we can do is wait and see.
It's sad to see Honda being so lazy on this. Updates should have come way back itself.

Re: Honda CBR 250R


He talked about 250. Honda has already declared about few totally new model launch in this year. So waiting is worth.

Yes, You can remove the saree guard. Its not against the law. Most of us in this forum have got rid of it. Who wears a saree on a sports bike.. unless its a girl you are dropping at a formal function :-) which is not that often.

The production of CBR250R has stopped. And along with it the tyres from Contigos... In the market you will find plenty of companies offering the tyres for 250r's, eventually it comes down to the type of use..

My bike came with

Front
Stock- ContiGo(Not Happy) 21,000Kms
Replaced with- MRF RevZ fc (Good) Current

Rear
Stock- ContiGo(Not Happy) 18,000Kms
Replaced with- Dunlop Tuff Grip (Very Good) 22,700Kms
Replaced with- Michelin Pilot Street (purchased two days back,Yet to find out)

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Appreciate the thoughts. Perhaps my apprehension is, are you sure the CBR250R production is stopped? Just a week back, I happen to visit a Honda A.S.S and indeed bookings are open for the CBR250R with refreshed paint jobs. The manager a nice chap, though totally uninformed, we had a fireside chat regarding the upgrades, which, again, obviously he was totally clueless to, but he's just said, waiting period would be 1 to 1.5 months for the CBR 250R and there was no mention of the production being halted. Are we being trolled here?

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Yes the production has stopped.
The showrooms are just clearing up the stock by moving their products from different places in their godowns to the ones that have booking.
CBR300R and the CBR650F will be launched around third quarter, not the CBR250R

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I am sorry, but, just questioning the authenticity, my wits just can't come to norms, where did you get that info from? Any inside information from the Honda chaps themselves? Perhaps I am just getting a hard time getting my head around this. The A.S.S report, "Saar, the CBR250 is still in production" and here it's the other way around. I mean, any concrete hands on insight as to where that source emanated from. I see numerous 3rd P websites reporting about the stopped production for CBR, but the company press and website says otherwise. Would you care to throw in a little more color?

Cheers!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Getting mixed news about this. Some say it has stopped, some say it will be renewed. They have definitely not stopped booking them so production cannot have been completely halted.

Thanks! Expected as much just wanted to confirm

Re: Honda CBR 250R

My thoughts exactly. But this mixed bag results do bring out the "DERP" in me. Fact is, their website is still up and running, no official press release from Honda yet. I guess, we'll have to take it with a bit of fairy dust for now.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Currently using my friend's CBR with 18200 on the odo with Contis [emoji52]

Re: Honda CBR 250R

The SVC managers in my area said it to me. And in a nearby place also same news from the manager.
They are pushing CBR150R instead with the excuse of shorter waiting period.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Drama, the prequel:

Visited the nearest Honda A.S.S in Ooty, and chaps here were as usual, totally clueless as to what's going with Honda. Inquiring the Service Manager's number, it was about time, I spoke to this gentleman. Again pretty sad to see, he was totally uninformed about the updated CBR, but he reaffirmed all by himself, that the 650F launch is around the corners. Who cares! Well duh -- me thinks, not worth the paisa pay.

Awkward Moment 1: Couple of minutes later, he's still trying to cock it out says that CBR 250 production hasn't stopped, but when enquired upon any time-frame or when I can get the color I like, he was like, sir we'll have to search for your color with other dealers and then ship it to you! There you have it! So if production is on, why in the world would they take 2 months to get it from some dealerships whereas they can get it from the factory.

So either, he's hesitant to delve a little deeper about the launch or he's clueless about the folks in A.S.S. But he's promised me that he'd be heading to Gurgaon in a couple of weeks, and will keep me updated on all the inside info, hopefully, fingers crossed.

For now have deposited 1L in advance for the CBR 250R, waiting period is, well...

All the bells and whistles are pointing in the right direction.

As for me, the drama begins.. This is going to be TOUGHER than I thought.

Hail Mary!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Sir jee i thought you were more inclined towards RC390 after the D390!!
Once you get the CBR I'll poke many questions towards you[emoji13] as i am also in a search of a worthy P220 upgrade!!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hey guys,

Is anyone using saddlebag on the CBR? What are the options. I don't want to go for viaterra claw. Recently I saw a fellow Duke rider got himself a viaterra saddlebag custom made for Duke. Do we have any such viaterra product for CBR? What are the other options other than Cramster Colt.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hi Avenger88,from your post it seems that you have used the Dunlop Tuff Grip for only 4,700 Kms and replaced it with Michelin. are you currently using 2 different rear tyres(with separate rims for different purpose) little bit confused.
