Re: Honda CBR 250R

Man, I've been following this thread from when it had only 700 pages. I know this thread like the back of my hand. Read every useful post already and also every post roughly till page 900. I'm so out of things to do! I keep getting lost in CBR dreams!

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Don't worry much just keep in touch with the dealer. It's never going to be an online shopping experience where you can track very frequently.

Where is the party mate? Treat us with some pics of your ride.

Re: Honda CBR 250R


Then patience bro . Don't worry about getting delayed on your bike's delivery.

You may even get a BS4 compliant bike too. Cheers

Sure brother....

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Yes, the feeling is like getting married for the "first" time. It's always exciting and jittery at the same time. Most CBRs come with MRF and Contigo both, it purely depends on your luck. We happen to see lots of new CBRs with Contigo and MRFs, so it's purely a matter of the state of manufacturing of the bike and what was available at that time. Secondly, no they won't disclose the dispatch details. It depends on the dealers, some let you know the bike has been dispatched from the factory side, or they are being unloaded to their warehouse, purely at the discretion of the showroom folks.

Stickers, this makes me think, this is for the REPSOL Edition. The normal ones, never came with any sticker offering, perhaps the 26 and 93, for the new Repsol Edition. But if you guys do get the sticker, keep us posted.

Thirdly, keep the thread glittered with good quality pics of your motorcycle.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I booked mine on Jan 27th. ( Kun Honda )
Visited once to the dealer regarding the status ( last week ) they informed me that the new load will start by Feb end.
But to my surprise, got a call from the dealer stating that the Bike has left from factory and told me to come finish the Bank and other document stuffs.

For the MRF tyre thing,

Only the TOP END model will get that.
Even the newer CBR Red/Black/White comes with Contigo tyres only.
The sales manager told me that 99% i will get it with MRF tyres as its the TOP END model.

For the Sticker thing

Visit Honda website and download E-Brochure of our bike, you can find it written on the 2nd page bottom in small text.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hey guys

I just booked a red (plain red not the one with black and white stripes) color 250r (ABS) today in chandigarh. After going through some of the lasts posts confirming the BSIV complaint engines are coming I'm really doubting my sales manager who told me that CBR is already a BSIV complaint as it is fuel injected and only carbureted one needs to be updated. Knowing he's fooling me I ignored and kept listening to him what all he has to say. I enquired him about the tyres and he said the bike comes directly from thailand so if you are lucky you will get the MRFs instead of Contigos. Not sure why he's lying about the BSIV thing. I'm writing a mail to honda to confirm the same. I pushed him for some discounts but there is none but be agreed to give a helmet and a tank pad with the bike.

As for the waiting period as I wanted the red color he said he will mail the request to Honda for it but when the production for the next lot will begin even he's not sure about it.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Is Plain Red still in production???

Re: Honda CBR 250R


Plain RED looks stunning.. But you can also try for HRC or get the Repsol.
New Repsol is more eye candy and refreshing..

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thanks bro I'll ask the sales person tomorrow. Also I have mailed Honda about the same. Expecting a response soon.

If there is sticker then we will be getting at the time when they give us the owners manual I guess.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Directly from Thailand? Ask him if one of his relative is bringing it from Thailand
The Cbr is made & assembled here in India. And yes you could end up with either of the tire brands.. one probable reason being they put on whatever they have in stock on that particular day during assembly.
As for the BS IV confusion, you could ask him to show you a copy of the invoice/owners manual or RC of a recently sold cbr.. The RC will usually mention the BS rating. At least the RC's I have for my bike do mention it.
Let's see the reply from honda on your query.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Is plain red and HRC still in production? Didn't heard anywhere.I'm following this thread for quite some time and have got my eyes on her. Honda website also doesn't list these colours.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Honda did some magic with their earlier color schemes. My personal favorite was, well all the colors, the silver, the black and the red, the candy red just stood out wherever it went. Such a lively color. The pure black was invincible, and sexy as a ninja warrior. Probably "Pulsar 220 Speed Line" doped engineer thought, well hey, why can't I add some stickering and refresh the line, because, no matter what I do, I ain't gonna get a better paycheck. Result? Bird poop marked speed lines, ended up spoiling the entire CBR 250 color palette.

Currently, the CBRs come with this "lovely" speed lines in all their basic color (apart from Repsol) and not the pure ones. Secondly, to those who are confused of CBR being imported from Thailand and Made in Thailand, no. They were completely made here in India for domestic sales. CBR 250 was also being manufactured simultaneously in Thailand, serving their domestic as well as exported to other countries. Though some electronic parts were sourced from Japan, earlier models they were for most part, 90% locally made and manufactured. In fact, the CBR was conceived for the Indian and Asian markets only, later they started shipping worldwide.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Even i was surprised to see plain red color being delivered yesterday. But on enquiring he said it was the 2016 manufactured model. He said he's not sure that honda will manufacture plain red again but he will still try for it.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

The bike being delivered was 2016 manufactured, he said he will try to get the same color. Will update soon as soon as I get any info

Re: Honda CBR 250R

You missed the tricolour and HRC edition. Both are good and HRC is an eye catchy. Black though sexy attracts dust a lot. There is one down my apartment and is covered in dust each and every inch. At present , repsol is the best out there.
BTW I'm just thinking (dreaming ) if HMSI will bring the 29PS cbr250r here as a part of BS4 upgrade. I read somewhere that the 2017 edition is Euro 4.The vehicle doesn't have much changes compared to Indian edition. Don't know why they are not ready to bring her. If they bring her here , will be good for future buyers like me.

I also thought the same.If the dealer is providing you a red color make sure it was not an old display bike or one which was lying in their warehouse (rusted and not maintained).
