    When I reached here, found that one of the nuts from the mirror stem is missing. And because of its movement, it has made scratches on the nearby area!! The paint have gone slightly!!!
    I told this twice before but think no one took notice.. I was lucky to find my mirror shaking and got a chance to slow down and tighten it a bit evrytime with my finger.. So no scratches.. Now i keep an allen key (size 4) in my toolkit and inspect the mirror nuts before every long ride.. Highly suggested to everyone.. (costs around rs.10-15 for a good make but would save a lot trouble..)

    The bike is very easily scratched and gets very very dirty.. Washed it about 5times in one month.. And waxed it every time.. The black plastics look bad just in a week if not washed and waxed (with a one usable on such plastics) properly..
    Had a 250km ride with a pillion in heavy to moderate rain throughout.. But the experience was pleasent.. No scary moments.. Cruised @ 80-90kmph and felt good.. (i am scared to ride my p180 @40 in such rain).. FE is too good for such a bike.. I am happy..
    Again, no pains n aches after the ride.. And the pillion too dint complain..(he has been a pillion on my yamaha for many many long rides and made me stop every 50-60kms for a break before.. But not this time)

    As DK said, i too found steam from the radiator due to rain water falling on it.. But noticed that only in traffic..
    Tires are ok.. Decent grip in rains and no complains in dry.. (still not very good for serious cornering.. Atleast for me) A month done..1900kms on odo and the tyre pressure is still very good as i got them filled with NITROGEN the very first day..
    As everyone has his own preferences and opinions, for me, its just the perfect bike.. A perfect combo of performance, comfort and fuel efficiency for long rides..(esp.. when i am still not earning consistantly as now) Yes, i am not a big fan of the paint quality and stuff on the bike.. But manageable..

      I have had reports of many of the SVC have silver in stock ready for instant delivery.!!


      No offense to anyone,but i like the sliver one a lot and for me, it wud be

      black> silver>red..

      the only drawback i see in the silver model is the failure in creating a contrast in colour.like silver in black and red really stands out but light silver in dark doesnt make much of it....

      I think those aftermarket carbon parts for the silver parts wud make a gr8 improvement!
      ya , even I was trying to understand the bias against silver. This has started putting question marks into my mind too. I had booked a silver abs which will be available tomorrow. But have not seen the silver in real life and really liked red. So when called for payment I told them I will first see the bike and then make the payment. But this means after the bike arrives I will have to wait for the cheque to clear that will mean a wait of 3 days which seems unbearable now ! And if i decide to go for red that means waiting for the next lot as this lot has all silvers !
      Red vs Silver.. any difference ? Is it true that there was some issues with red paint which is not there in black or silver ? Red seems very common though I feel like Ninja looks best in green and a pulsar in black (IMO) CBR may look best in its flagship red colour. Looking forward to some help !!

        • Silver Looks Big comparing to Red & Black. Ofcourse red is eye catcher & most common, but as I found silver is the one which contain almost the same color in everywhere like side panel at back/near headlight/Alloy.

          If the black comes in pure black version in india it will be the most sober color.

          here is a youtube video where all color in display including Honda Repsol team variant.

          YouTube - ‪Sesi Pandu Uji CBR 250R‬‏

          Silver looks big here....specially when the rally ended and a Honda Guy pushing the vehicles towards the parking.

          BTW:- No offence to any color/owner. No flame/fight intended.

                  • I got my first service done today! Did it at 935 kms. Total cost was 1175.

                    Good news is that they've got oil filters and they've changed mine.

                              Can also check this out. I had initially booked the Black colour but IMHO Black goes unnoticed.

                              Is my bike the First one to sport XBHP sticker.

                              Never upgrade without getting your basics RIGHT.
