    d) top speed
    e) how many gears
    f) can it beat karizma
    g) cash/downpayement (if i say cash they look at me from head to toe

    overall one thing i have learned by buying this bike is how to be in a ZEN state of mind and to chill. let others hog the limelight. some thing which i used to shamefully do earlier like trying to catch a Busa owner.


    Cheers

        1) they overtake from wrong side
        2) overtake recklessly (on ofcourse 100cc bike)
        3) park their bikes next to you while riding and look at your bike while neglecting others safety (almost had 3 incidents without any damage)
        4) no offence but as soon as P220 guys notices CBR their BP shoots up coz they ride like crazy in insane traffic.
        5) guys challenging you for drag in insane traffic.
        6) guys trying to converse with you while riding

        Nice........
        Point 4 is absolutely true, but not only P220 guys but also R15 guys.....I experienced countless incidents when they feel challenged just when they saw the bike at their RVM or stop at signal beside them.
        After that they try to prove their machine by driving insanely/Zig-Zag in front of you in heavy traffic. If you don't bother and once they realize it, they braked suddenly every time once you make way from the traffic....in that case either you engage your self a dangerous drag or you need to stop (which I do, like going to phone some one).

          No offends taken but do you realize that most P220ers don't use their RVMs at all (because they don't work )?

          And such a thing happened to me too, about 3 days back, the difference being it was a CBR150R redlining and cutting traffic like crazy. And I had to slow down for that poor low self esteem fellow even though I really had to get home fast to pee .
          Advice is a form of nostalgia.
          Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

            Hahahaha... Human Nature. amazing how our insipid minds get insecure at the faintest whiff of change in perceived normalcy.

            Was used to it with a RE but its hit an all time high with this one. Its normally people who you see riding irresponsibly though (without helmet etc). Those guys really don't know, just pure unawareness, i've had experienced and survived several accidents and I have no doubt in saying that a good helmet is the reason for me to breath now. Sometimes it gets so 'in your face', even when you're riding in the most unoffensive, non challenging way. For me, the worst is when I see other CBR's or RE's do that in insane city traffic, I mean, I have both bikes and both have their utter and supreme charm which is totally different and unique unto itself, but yeah... it happens all the time.

            Cheers fellas.

            • Hi all,
              Can anybody tell me the best showroom to buy CBR250(HRC) STD in Bangalore. I have booked already in one of the showroom but not satisfied with their gestures. The way they are behaving is totally changed after booking, before they treated me well. Actually I went for loan option, also I have submitted all the required documents but there is so any reply from them regarding what process is now going on. Always I have to call them for any update but they are not even care about it. Initially I have booked with one of the sales executive but now whenever I calling him, He is telling like, 'right now i am not in showroom will tell you details later'.
              So now I am thinking to cancel the booking from them and will try for another showroom. 21 days over from the date of booking.
              Bangalore CBR owners..please suggest me some good showroom from your experiences.
              Thanks in advance.

                  Man this is a serious issue ..please change your dealer.. I'm form kolkata I also opted for CBR 250R STD HRC on loan.. I have given down payment on sunday.. as the loan person forgot to take dealers stamp on the document so the process got delayed by a day and loan was approved on tuesday ..i was busy on wednesday so took the delivery on thursday ..they had two bikes ready for delivery as the odo reading was 40 on one bike i took the other..so if the process was completely ok I would have got loan approved in a day and bike delivery on the next day ..never had to book..21 days is too much..

                    These 2 happened when I drive my CBR 150R. Most of the drivers doing this are Splendor owners.

                          ya these are led bulb thats why they blinks fast or may be because of weak flasher that honda uses for normal bulb and i am using led bulb wid it and it blinks like audi indicators

                          and costs 150rs for set of 2 bulb.

                            • My CBR hav done 8.2k kms til now,,, I'm feeling that there is some sound from the tappets..... As we know that the tappets cannot be adjusted with Gaze, we need to replace the SHIMS....

                              I need to ask here that whether the SHIMS are covered under warranty?
                              After getting replaced will there be ny improve in performance?
                              Whats the price of Handle Cone Set Including Steel Balls?

                                First of all do check the handle bar vibrations.. If your hands go numb after riding for 15mins then 80% chances are your shims are damaged... And also if shims are damaged you will get low mileage.. If these conditions are true then and then only go for checking out for the shims...

                                If the shims are damaged from the starting itself then it will be replaced within the warranty...
                                I respect the threat.
