thanks a lot! then i should get a center stand for lubricating my chain! But i dont know wher to buy and how much it costs in chennai

Not all India, just rode all way from Chennai to Gujarat.

Its not center stand!!! Its called Paddock!!! Approach your ASC, they WILL have one. If they say no, it means, they don't want to share.

If they don't approach Didar.

no no i have posted video of my cbr doing 139 kmph on nh 8 u can check its pickup after 100 kmph..

the main problem is road in india they are not gud at all.
i have tryed on many roads but even i cudent touch 136 kmph on that roads so at last gone to best highway 8 and did 149 kmph after seeing speedo at 135kmph and after 4 or 5 sec it was 149kmph i was just feeling gud to touch 149 on my cbr . just give a try on gud road .

and last week touched 155 kmph while coming down from bridge its too easy to do on slope..


may be you got 35 + you are soo happy to tell the average so that means you got gud average from your bike please tell fast.
and do tell how much km u did on full tank ..?

so you coming to delhi or not.?

and i am loving my cbr in mud..
i have cleaned it 20 times in last 20 days but now i dont want to clean it till rain stops so it better to love the dirtyy look..
wash it clean it in 1 hour and go to 2 km and its same as like before washing ..

Hi bro, did u pass through Vadodara, or took the by-pass.

And regarding the FE speculation lets see.... i guess u get around 35-40kmpl.

Bros, do not try to wipe mud off your bikes without a wash-the cloth will create scratches on the paint surface. You will need to get it polished&buffed later to remove it.
If it is only dust, use a soft cloth to remove the dust, then a soft microfibre cloth to shine it&remove the water marks.
On another note, a CBR guy rode beside me last evening for about 5-6 kms. We both were equally curious about each other's bikes!

cbr down since 6 weeks & still counting... spares issues cound'nt get any worse than this!

My ordeal starts today Left the bike at the SVC for the cost estimation and survey by the insurance guy. Let's see when I see my steed up and running in its full attire again.

Is it a downhill or straight road? How much do you weigh?

C'mon stop saying that!!! There're excellent roads that can challenge any roads in the west.

This is exactly what everyone is cribbing about; my friend, even I've done 147 on ODO solo on Trichy-Chennai; but mine isn't performing the same now. The issue is something else.

Happy Why would I want to be happy? I don't care about the FE of any of my vehicles. My principle always is, if you buy an Elephant, you've to feed it. Anyway, I wanted to share it today, but, I think got a worst average on the last run. So let me calculate that & then post it.

Tank full??? Anywhere from 1Km until the injector burns

Well, I'm feeling a little tired & I'm reconsidering the option to ride back home. With Delhi, I'd be killing myself

I didn't even touch Vadodara; I took, Pune-Mumbai-Surat-Ahmedabad-Sarkhej-Gandhi Nagar-Mehsana-Palanpur-Mt Abu-Udaipur

You guys are too optimistic!!! Come down to earth & be realistic!!!

What happened? Did I miss reading any of your earlier posts

honda genuine accessories started to roll out :

I went to the service centre to get my chain fixed and some other minor adjustments and to my surprise the mechanic said they started receiving spares for the CBR. They got the side panels, clutch plates and few other parts from honda. The surprisaing part is that honda also sent carbon fiber look alike panels. The rear silver panel and the bottom engine cowl were few of them which I got to see. The load was all scattered soi couldnt look at the other parts. The bottom cowl is priced at 1100 a piece. Looks ok. Not even close to carbon fiber though.

I'm guessing around 30 - 32kmpl?

+1 to that. Quite a lot of good roads in India, particularly the ones in Rajasthan. Totally droolworthy.

Err.. Saar.. you do know that my bike got wrecked right? If not, see the pic I attached on page 373. I'm totally devastated.

replies in bold..

Any idea how much the side panels are for? My steed's left side plastics are totally gone, including the mudguard.

Bike trip!!

I just came back from a 3 day bike trip(Bangalore-Valparai). A few things which I've noticed ppl asking:

1. To carry luggage, I used Cramster Turtle tank bag, but as a tailbag with bungee chord. The bag also comes with a rain cover, so it works perfectly well for me. I was able to fit in clothes for 3 days, plus rain jacket and pant, plus a water bottle.

2. The bike has no issues in starting/performing in cold weather, and it heavy rains. It handles very well in rain.

3. TOP SPEED: On the way back, I recorded 171kph. Just for a second. I know, there'll be a lot of guys saying it's not possible, but I was not able to believe it myself. This was on the Pollachi-Salem road, the last 100 kms before Salem, there's a loooong stretch, down hill. And I was lucky enough to get an empty stretch. Slightly cloudy weather. The wind was blowing from behind me along the road, so helping the speed. No cross winds. Fuel tank was at 1 bar. I had to crouch completely, had all riding gear on so resistance was minimum. I weigh about 82kgs, plus I had a neatly packed tailbag(about 8kgs). You really have to squeeze ever gear to it's max. Things were quite stable upto 160kph. The last 11kph was quite scary. Handling of the bike reduces quickly. Vibrations increased. I've never done such speeds before. Hands were a little numb, and the bike was screaming. Couldn't exactly notice the engine speed, but it was well towards the end. Soon after touching 171kph, I slowed down and stopped.

4. Long distances causing pain in muscles: I've read many people saying that their fore arms and upper shoulders started aching after 100 odd kms. I didn't face any such issues. We did 500 kms on day 1, 100kms on day 2, and again 500 kms on day 3. Fatigue was there after the trip, but no fitness problems during the entire ride.

More info and pics to follow. Do let me know if you have any concerns about touring on the CBR250r. After this 1100km trip, I'm pretty confident that the bike will do well on any kind of road, in any weather.

at last some good news. Can you check what are the other parts available? My dealer got the fork assembly here.
