Re: Honda CBR 250R

Guys any idea on the cost of the cone set? Need to get it changed asap.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Less than 2k, but don't have the exact cost. Sorry.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

All are glycol based coolants at least that's sold in India. Motul Inugel is the stock coolant that comes from the factory. You can use Engine Ice, or Motocool Expert or the stock Honda Radiator Liquid costs close to 250 or 1.1 liter. I would suggest you get the either the Engine Ice or Motul Motocool or Honda's proprietary Honda Radiator Liquid. Don't go for Inugel.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Guys need your help.

I am looking for a cbr clocked 15500 kms. Bike has few parts changed like new chassis, front fairing, sprocket, brake pads. Bike is in very good condition checked by ASC mechanic. Fuel tank has a dent on it. Engine is very smooth and overall condition is also good.
His last price is 82,000 for the bike.

Is it a fair price and shall I consider this? I am not so sound about cbr

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Oh boy, that's a bit to much being quoted, considering , new fairing and chassis, the bike might have been in a bad accident. Better to avoid those kind of deals.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

People basically avoids accidental bikes though I would like to say IF rebilt is done in a preety descent way then one can opt an aciddental bike as misfortune can happen with anybody.

As you mentioned that the chassis has also been replaced so I guess the accident might be very-very fatal. Even I doubt that the speedo meter reading is correct or not as its an accidental bike.

Well I would suggest you to get the bike inspected by YOUR trusted mechanic by telling him that the bike has a fatal accident record and he will inspect the bike from tip to toe.

Do post the pics of the bike so that fellow members can help you out.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Better to avoid an accident 2 wheeler for peace of mind. In future if any small issue crop up, you will doubt it because of the accident history.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Hey guys!

Took Suzaku on an overnight trip to Sakleshpur last weekend. As expected the bike delivered flawlessly. Bangalore-Mangalore Highway is one of the best roads to know your ride better. I had all kinds of experiences on this trip. I was able to do some serious off roading, highway speed runs, take on some twisties and just cruise. I stayed in the 4-6k RPM range in the 6th gear for most of the ride, which is between 64kmph to 90kmph. I did take the bike all the way to 140kmph too, but in short bursts. I rode with 29psi in the front and 33psi in the back for most of the trip. I used the Viaterra Fly GT magnetic Tank bag to carry my essentials. I ensured to lube the chain at the 300km mark. I got an astounding 39kmpl mileage on this trip. I'm really surprised because with the same sedate riding in city, I'm only touching 30kmpl. At the end of the trip, Suzaku had 2190km on the Odo. The trip itself added 510km to the Odo. While I debate whether to post a travelogue or not, here's a couple of pictures from the trip.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I took the bike to the Honda ASC were my friend has a trusted mechanic. He took the bike for a long spin and only mentioned two things, chain being loose and T bar nut being little loose which can be tightened easily. He mentioned specifically that bike rides like a new and he faced no problem with the bike. He continuously kept saying bike feels new. The person from who has the bike is very sound and has taken very good care of bike, not a single scratch. His own brother met with an accident and he couldn't apply the brakes properly and hit a bus on a stop(he was under age at the time of accident). So the owner did all changes as he found that joint where forks are connected to the chassis was slightly bent and ASC suggested to get it replaced. I have checked with the wheel balancing at Michelin tyre shop and they said everything is working good as the chasis is new and forks are new as well. On paper the bike has no record of accident, the owner took all the expense by himself. Main part was that the engine didn't had a single scratch and only front side of bike was cosmetically damaged and a slight bent/dent on chasis. The owner now wants to buy a jawa bike and has a collection of 2-stroke bikes with him.

Only thing is he is not coming to down to lower the price.

I have attached the pic of before repairing and after.

The bike has been given good remarks from trustable ASC of Ahmedabad.

Dent on fuel tank

Re: Honda CBR 250R

It seems that you did a real good inspection so far on the bike. Provided the bike is in scratch less condition and owner has disclosed all the truth to you, and also your trusted ASC guy has shown positive feedback I think there shouldn't be any back off. On top of that you are going to get a almost new looking fairing due to the rebuild.

82K is probably not too costlier deal keeping in mind that owner spent a lot to rebuild and maintain the bike till date. From my end only suggestion would be if you feel confident enough sitting and riding on it and trusted the owner and mechanic who gave you a green flag go for it, only if you think about it's a accidental bike change your mind immediately.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I took the bike cold started and before going to ASC I drove it for 5 kms and it drives flawlessly. In afternoon 3PM bike got heated up and fan kicked in and worked wonderful. Brakes feel very sharp and handles very easy. Chain being loose made me feel pulling is lil short but it was adjustable in traffic. The dent on tank is not so visible unless someone pokes in. Tyres have good tread left and can last 12-15K more kms.

Even the handle bar is stock and no sign of damage on that, which my mechanic told me is good sign that the bike hasn't faced any major damage, or else it would have affected the handling. I checked about SHIM and no problem with that. Bike has been recently topped up with new coolant, brake fluid and engine oil.

I have checked the speedometer and it hasn't been tweaked.

I have asked the owner to get the tank repaired but he says the paint would chip off and repainting and matching the color would be costlier.

Shall I get it changed under insurance later? Any suggestions.

And yes, one more thing is the owner has lost his original key during the accident and few days back on starting of ramdan, the second key went missing and he has made new keys from locksmith.

Any one knows can honda give new set of keys if document are provided. Or if I have to settle with duplicate keys.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Now the key part is really suspicious. 1 lost in accident another in ramdan. That's kinda odd. Honda won't give you a duplicate key instead you will have to change the whole lockset which costs around 10K or so.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I think you should not ignore this bike, you have inspected the bike from almost all angle possible.

And some experienced mechanics rebuild a bike that it will be like a New one.

And now you have new chassy , new fork assembly and new fairing also other electronic bits, for 82k you are getting more than 60% a new bike.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Though folks have poured in their views pretty much spot on, just a few cents worth of mine would be, as long as the engine wasn't damaged, in any significant way, I think for the price offered, the deal is a fair play. Considering the price of the spares the owner has spent from his pocket, that's a total loss for the seller. As long as vehicle handling/wiring/electricals are double/triple checked and the geometry of the bike is fine, handling and wiring all done properly, I don't think there should be any problem with purchasing the bike. Though the human ego is very sensitive to accidental/damaged motorcycle, psychologically. Ultimately, if you can overcome the thought of it, after going through a thorough post operative PDI and she's fit, it should be a good deal.

Yes, if the owner hasn't opted the Insurance way for the damages, and his current insurance isn't lapsed, you can definitely claim an insurance on your fuel tank. But trust me, red and pure black CBR are pure stunners.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

Thanks for your input mate!

I will be doing my homework once again to make sure everything is in as pristine condition as possible before coming to an agreement.

The wiring part is completely stock and not a single modification has been done on the bike. Engine is scratch less and runs without any issue even in cold start.
I have tried going upto 7.5k - 8k rpms in every gear and running the bike at low rpms in high gears to see if I run into any issue, but with gods grace she runs smooth.



If anyone can help me with the price for following items, it would be a lot helpful :

1. New chassis
2. New front and side fairing set
3. Front fork set + seal replacement
4. Front headlight assembly and bulbs
5. New T-bar and bolts
6. New sprocket set
7. Brake pads set (non-abs)
Labour charges for overall.


It will help me get clear and bright view and help fellow mates too.
