Also you have put your number plate on the visor. The cops don't bother you for the same ? I think hats not legal. Need to have number plate upfront.
    Thanks!!.
    About the frame slider, im fortunate to not have had the opportunity to test its effectiveness. . .& besides these were bulk manufactured locally in Bangalore CBR Club.
    Since i got my bike(18 months), ive not been stopped by cops for number plate issue.

            As I pointed out earlier, CBR250 has its power way low in the RPM range making it easy to handle city traffic aas well as cruise comforttably in highways. Whereas 150 is a high revving machine made for track use, so you will have to frequently shift gears in traffic. Also after some time, you will crave for more power so better go in for the elder sibling. Go ffor a test ride and you will find the difference.

            Also if you are quoting different post, please use the multiqoute button ("+) at the lower rhs of your post. It helps in putting all your posts at one place, easy to refer.


            Thanks sid.. hope you can my snaps now.. i have uploaded through avatar..is the maintenance cost of both CBR high...?? i know i feel that if you take care of your bike and maintained it in the right time will reduce the cost as well as increase the life of bike.. right?? thats what i have been doing with my earlier bikes..so i hope the latest wont dissappoint me...

              I guess the maintainance cost is fine enough...atleast I haven't visited my svc apart from 1st service in my 5000kms old relation with my baby. After all you own of the premium bikes in the country.

              • Update!! Just booked the CBR250 ABS in Red at Sapphire Honda, Bangalore. Delivery in 30 days...countdown begins!


                This is for all the modders here (Specifically, people like me who find the handlebar position a bit uncomfortable): Has anyone here purchased/considered purchasing one of these clip-on risers?

                Would like a feedback on these, if anyone has ever given it a shot. They are indeed a bit on the expensive side. Are there any local-made alternatives?

                Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

                    • I was stranded on the road last night at around 9.30 when my battery just gave up. Push started and went for some distance, but it stopped again. Called up the mechanic and told him the issue. He said either its a loose connection or the battery is drained. Checked the connection near the engines, it was okay. Then to open seat and check the connection on the battery, I was not having the allen key (forgot to keep in the bike). Called up couple of friends. During that I noticed that the instrument console backlit was going ON and OFF. Sometimes the backlit is ON, but the digits and tacho goes ON and OFF. Friend suggested that it's not a loose connection, it's battery issue. So did push start and rode to home. Even push start was not really helpful. Push start and go some distance, again switched off (even after keeping the revs high). So after pushing and push-start and riding, reached home by around 12 - 12.30 am completely exhausted. Worst part was that the battery decided to go kaput on Sunday night only.
                      Couple of friends suggested to get the battery load test done and then whether the charging circuit is working fine or not. Anyone knows what's the warranty on the battery?

                      • If its exide, its 1 year. Amaron has a higher warranty for its batteries. The battery warranty card should be with the other documents given with the bike.

                        • Dont know if anyone has shared it here,

                          Honda Motorcycle recalls 11,500 units of CBR 250R due to front brake issue
                          In a statement issued by the company on Monday, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India said, "There is a possibility of limited effectiveness in front brake application, though this concern doesn't impact the overall braking functionality and effectiveness of front and rear brakes under normal riding conditions."

                            • Does this also mean, those are the numbers of the standard CBR that Honda sold during that period 18 months? I believe the ABS sells less than the standard.

                              • You can check if you're entitled for the replacement here - CBR 250R

                                I've given my Chasis Number and I got this screen. Probably the Dealership will contact us back.
