^when taking about speeds of 140+, i dont think pulling a katoom here would favor the katoom IMHO. But i'll still wait for real world reviews than assume things of a yet to release bike.

Excuse me sir. But who's post are you quoting again? I went 3-4 pages back and did not see the post you quoted. Did the post get deleted or something?



Sorry about that bro.... I was reading the posts in the beginning of the thread probably a year back almost... Guess i was lost thru time... Gonna delete my comments so no confusion is caused.


On topic: I hear a loud CLUNK everytime i shift from neutral to 1st when the bike is standstill(and sometimes while moving) from day one.
IS this normal or should i get it checked at the ASC? I dont hear it all the time but maybe about 60% of the times i startup.

Regarding the sound just take to the service guys... Better to be safe than sorry... What say?

hi friends im new to this thread
& i got my bike on 7th january at 8 pm.
i took delivery on didar motors( mount road near thousand light)
now in detail:
i went to didar at 5 pm on that day and i paid the amount nearly 1,91,337 rupees.
and wait for 30mins after that mechanic called me to choose a bike and we went to the store room there i saw more than 25+ cbr waiting for there owners to pickup.I saw a bike which was covered with some bubble like plastic cover and i tired to ignite the engine but there is no power. mechanic told me to wait and removed all the plastic cover and the seat there i saw the battery was not connected battery was sealed and laminated. he connected the battery and gave the key to me to start the engine. but the bike was not started due to petrol he filled 2 and half litre .now its starts. some body told in this thread cbr sounds like a shareauto. no its not.i took a printout which was posted by aagree (pdi .txt) it was very helpfull on that time because no one with me i went alone. after pdi i saw a small bend in the radiator fins(right side corner) and there was a small scratches on the silencer guard.mechanic corrected that bend and changed the silencer guard .we went to the workshop and gave the bike after pdi.

Hey guys, have plans on upgrading to a CBR250 from my present ride.

Wanted an unbiased confession on the drawbacks of the CBR250.

Thanks.

You have a great friend who'll give an unbiased review of the CBR. Kishore, are you listening?

Do you use the same ID at erodov/css?
The stock seats are ok'ish...not too great. The first thing i did when i got the bike was extra foam for the seats. No complaints from pillions yet.

Are you serious?? I personally don't feel that CBR250 is much of an upgrade to your present ride(considering Standard not C-ABS).
Tell us about the drawbacks that you know till now, that will make us help you in a better way..

Yup, I use the same ID at Erodov but I don't really play CSS much. Last time I played was more than 2 years back. What's your ID at Erodov?

Well honestly I had enough of performance. Now I need something which is atleast similar in performance with what I have now and also have features like 6 speed, liquid cooling and touring capabilities.

You can also suggest me to go for a Baby Ninja but honestly, its very impractical as per my usage.

Got you. So you want to go for a new ride with good touring capabilities. AFAIK there is no drawback seen so far in CBR as tourer. All those people who went for very long ride (Tour) came back saying positive about the bike. Not much complaints from tourers.
