...rest will be authentic riding gears,helmets,tank protectors,levers....etc...etc....was able to get this information as my best friend owns the honda showroom...and company executives had a meeting with them.....

I hope honda launches regular spares first

Let's think of the " accessories " later

@aargee: i hope the top speed experiences you have shared and the inability of the bike to reach so, exclude your part of rides where you had saddlebags mounted. With the saddlebags it may be even lower due to wind obstruction IMO?
Yes, you are right. The bike just refuses to go above 8.5krpm on 6th if i am pulling it all the way up in 6th gear from 6krpm or so.(even on a seemingly flat road). But if i pull it on 5th gear, the rpm reaches 10.5k easily and accelaration is also pretty quick.

Top Speed Dilemma

Dear All,

Ceeber does well until rev limiter on all gears except 6th. This is kind of usual and only with the aid of back wind or any gradient on roads, it goes past 10k rpm on 6th gear. The case is exactly same in case of R15 as well.

I totally agree with aargee that it should be touching the rev limiter on every gear.

Even if the HMSI engineers solve this issue, one has to immediately see his ceeber's top end to infer whether the engineers have done the job right or not? At this point of time, he has to find a good road and time as well. Remember there would be a serious risk factor involved in this case, again it is not every time that we would be crossing 150+ km/hr mark. We have got many unrealized responsibilities other than just biking. This is the sole reason that deterred me to open the issue to Honda officials.

To enjoy the biking, speed is never a deciding factor. I hope a true biker there would go contented over here.

i don't know of other states but here in Bareilly...spares are not at all problem...even only 5 cbr's have been soled out...here there are plenty of oil filters,fairings,oil,radiators,even small bolts are available...so no issue of spares....and there are 3 service men who have received good training of cbr's...they know the bike throughly......

We're not discontented about the top speed @pravu. We're confused over the discrepancy in top speeds reported by the various members, right from 161 to 138 km/h. It just makes me wonder, is there something wrong with my bike, that I could not go to 150+ speeds even if I wanted to, whether or not it is something I regularly do.

I'm not concerned anything beyond 140; all I want is, to hit 140 just like the way it does 135 at present (I don't expect easily) & if needed keep the 140 for sometime. Sometimes, its so bad that on uphills, C250R refuses to go past 128; bu uphill, I don't mean the real hill climbs, say, something like you get on a bridge etc.

+1; also, this helps me to fight back with HMSI if needed.

Thanks to all C250R owners to have shared your thoughts; I'm now confident enough to go back to HMSI for this issue. I'll keep posted on the outcome of the result.

Forget turns, i no longer trust my tyres on turns but today i felt something else that crashed whatever was left as a hope in them.
Today while coming back from office i accelerated very hard in 2nd gear (i was joining a road and a bus was coming from behind so needed to be faster than the bus before it could come close to me) and as i twisted the throttle i could simply feel the slip of tyres underneath. The bike was slightly inclined as i was settling in the lane. there was no scary moment of fishtailing but i could simply feel that the bike was trying to produce a burnout even though i was not trying to.

I have never felt such slippages of tyre ever. Even punny tyres on activa handle better.

On clean, dry asphalt they do feel like they are apt for my bike but just put some gravel or little shower and then they have a wish of their own; my bikes stops obeying me

.

I also feel that the rear brakes are not that good. Any thing i need to get tested for better rear braking?

How many you folks feel that the bike wobbles between 4-5K RPM? My rear has weights so most probably they are balanced but my front wheel does not have any, so not sure if Honda forgot to do wheel balancing on my front tyre.

Am I the only guy here who is confident with turns on the bike??

Of course, if there's a lot of muck or grease on the road, I'm not very confident of bends, but otherrwise, I have had absolutely no issues!
Or does the tyre deteriorate after a certain distance? I have done about 4.5k on the bike, and have had no issues once I got the handle loosened initially.

Piyush,
Maybe the wobbling that you are facing is related to the tight handle? Might be worth getting it checked out..

issues with FI or bad quality fuel?

hi guys,
off late i've noticed that when i start the bike in the morn and race the engine just a little bit, instead of a smooth rise through the revs, there is an initial blip where the rpm actually falls below the idling revs. This just happens once, after which the next time i increase the throttle, the revs climbs smoothly.

i had this issue with the karizma i had before but i presumed that was because of some problem with the carb or the cool climes here in the hills. Since this bike is FI, i'm kinda thinking along--a) bad fuel quality (dont get the premium stuff u guys get in the cities) b) issues with the FI.

There is no sign otherwise of any adverse effect of the fuel during the ride..atleast none that stands out to my nooby mind. any ideas as to what could be wrong?.. I've just done about 600Kms (almost all of it in the hills) ..the oil was changed at 500 but i dint change the filter cuz it looked clean enough. i intend to go to the SVC the day after tomorrow and will get the filter changed along with the oil. any advice on what all i should get checked up wrt the above issue would be appreciated a great deal!

Met a fellow xbhpian last evening riding a CBR250R at tardeo. Had a nice 10 mins chat but forgot his name & id. Buddy if you are reading this, do PM your name & number & I shall get in touch with you.

Any bike and i mean BIKE will act crazy on curves if u whacked open throttle . I think what you felt is normal bcoz of torq tyre tends to loose grip specially on turns and its a 250 with some good amount of torq .

2. To test rear brakes just get speed of 50-60kmph pull in clutch and then try stopping bike using only rear brks easily so that you will get complete feel of rear brakes .

My point was that every machine has its own limitations.I know for sure the response at 6th gear would remain lethargic (struggling to go past 10k rpm without any gradient help) when compared to 5th gear . Why am I so sure? The answer is with Honda engineer.

I'm not asking for 10K...all I'm asking is just 9K & 9K only; I believe the bike should be able to do 144 Kmph at 9K RPM.

yes it does 144/145 kmph @ 9k RPM in 6th gear.. Is it that you are not able reach 9k RPM at all or is it not that easily reachable?
