  • Re: Honda CBR 250R

    May I ask why the clutch cable was out in the image?, any service was in progress or any other reason.

    And how is the air pump working out of this socket, and what is the rating of the air pump. If charging of mobile is slower, then air pump should also be running much slower. Please correct me if am wrong.

      This is extra cable I have tied with the original one. As I have mentioned previously also that I frequently ride to Himalayas so just in case if it snaps it will be a 5 minute job for me to install the other one.

      Air pump is 12V 10A DC. I have been using it since last one year(previously on my Apache 160 and now on CBR) and it works fine as I always use it while the engine is running so it draws the required power which is 120 watt from alternator which generates close to 340Watt at 5k rpm(Battery is 12V-6Ah, so not a good idea to run it on battery). While in case of mobile charger it is the output current rating of the charger which in my case is low and it takes 5-6 hours for a full mobile charge. If one could find a mobile charger with ~2A output rating it will be good enough and will give a full charge in about 2 hrs.

        When I bought it last year my main concern was a 12V socket for my air pump. This mobile phone charging socket came along with it but this one takes way too long to charge a mobile. You see if you could find some other socket with higher output current~2 Amp.
        just a suggestion.
        try using a shorter usb cable and of good quality.
        i have seen length of cable affects charging speed.

          I like cbr 250. I like faired bikes.
          Friends advise me for duke 390. I personally like the big bike feel. But they say cbr starts loosing breath around 130. And that cbr 250 is a dying breed. It's the least selling motorcycle so to say. That's a downer.
          I want my machine to surprise me every time i open throttle.

            Even I was in the same confusion. I have liked the CBR since my college days. It's still a perfect bike and the only one to provide faring and riding comfort at this price point. The Duke 390 is a great machine, but it's certainly not for me due to it not being a friendly commuter.

            Now I'm waiting for the G310R. I hope it gets priced around 2L. It will certainly fill the gap between CBR and Duke. Though for touring the CBR will still remain on top.

              130kph seems a downer for you
              Why don't you get a superbike which will do 299 kph all day long.

              For Indian road conditions anything above speeds of 100kph is more than enough.

              Cheers,

                Not all people buy a 250cc and ride it like a 150cc

                  Then you must be riding at 160kph which I am am sure the CBR is capable of.

                    Trust me my friend, if i had that kind of money i would have been riding yamaha R1 already.
                    And where we ride on weekends a 100 feels like a 60. I need to keep up with N300s , Er6ns and gsxr 1000, if not get ahead.

                      What logic is this? When someone asks will CBR feel stressed @130, you are telling to buy a superbike. And now this..

                      It's good that you own a Honda CBR250R. But stop being a fanboy.

                      And, I'm least interested in investing in a soon to be extinct bike. So, I really can't do 160 on the CBR. Sorry about that.

                      Cheers. Good night. Happy Weekend.

                        My cbr150 do 120kmph all day without loosing breath.
                        So 250 will surely do 140kmph
                        But our Indian road's are good till 130kmph

                            I'm too kind of waiting how bmw 310 turns out. CBR is a great motorcycle. Period. But the world has moved on so much and honda guys are satisfied with activas.
                            I hear the production has stopped for 250. And they are clearing stocks with new stickers. No updates since launch. This is cruel for a such an amazing bike it was.

                              CBR maxes out at 155-158 because of the 6th gear detune, I think it can do 110-130 types all day , thats more than enough for our Indian roads.

                                I believe the most selling bike in 1 lakh + category is the bullet 350. Buy a silver one and enjoy. You can tour at 80 like a boss. [emoji6]

                                Jokes aside, a lot of people are happy with the Duke 390. Get one. You won't be disappointed.
