Re: Honda CBR 250R
Surprised to see pricing on Honda website. They had announced that only ABS version would be available in BS-IV model, but both non-ABS and ABS versions exist now. 1.94L ex-showroom for ABS version is pretty steep for this dated model. Given FZ 25 and Dominar's offerings, I thought Honda would keep ABS version below 1.5L; but then Honda is Honda!

Re: Honda CBR 250R
The Honda CBR 250's DOHC engine is more advanced than the FZ25 and the Dominar, which both have SOHC. DOHC gives out slightly more mileage and power, with the downside of slightly less torque and more maintenance costs.Originally posted by manishh View PostSurprised to see pricing on Honda website.

The FZ25 needs regular cleaning of FI system every 6000kms as per the WhatsApp group. Cbr250 can go 20,000 without a replacement of the fuel filter, which costs ~ ₹500 to replace w labor.
Honda is implementing their - 'we don't give a duck' business plan when it comes to the CBR250. They know it's gonna sell in low volumes, so they make sure they get a tidy profit on each bike they sell.

the 'regular' fi cleaning is just another revenue making scheme for the asc. it isn't really required at such early intervals.Originally posted by leech View PostThe FZ25 needs regular cleaning of FI system every 6000kms as per the WhatsApp group.

btw, i think the pricing is alright for the cbr... at-least the price hasn't shot up much. 1.8L on-road non abs, faired bike with good reliability/tech. am not someone who judges a bike by how 'old' the model is and neither based on fancy/gimmicky stuff like 'digital console' 'usb charger'
yeh honda is honda

Re: Honda CBR 250R
FZ 250 and Dominar are affordable and VFM indeed. But, apart from Honda is Honda, there is no significant price appreciation in price from the prior model if my memory serves me correct. When you add in features like LED, new decal and the new brakes (at least in Honda India's terms these are technology equivalent to the H2R's supercharger in the 250r) and for that they haven't charged anything much. Rest of the details were elaborated by bhpians earlier. (pun intended)Originally posted by manishh View PostSurprised to see pricing on Honda website.

Now, you tell me, in a sense isn't it a new model?

The girl said, 'NO!'
And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

Re: Honda CBR 250R
Just to add. Compress the forks up and down and check if there are any oil traces on the fork tube, or oil oozing out of the oil seal. If yes, replace the oil seal on both the forks. Thoroughly check your fork tubes and sliders, since the color of the forks can sometimes mask the leak pretty well.Originally posted by Nanda SS View PostI haven't ride my cbr for last 16 days....

Re: Honda CBR 250R
Go to Didar Honda Egmore. Ideally, the fork seal, oil, and labour shouldn't cross ₹1000 for one fork.Originally posted by Nanda SS View PostI enquired for front fork oil seal change today...
