I think there is an unpainted rear sear cowl for the cbr250r on ebay india...

hye guys !

Just wondering, has any one here got a rear seat cowl ?

I am interested in getting one. The only options of getting one are asking someone to send it from south-east Asia (not really possible) or going and getting it yourself. If someone has been able to fabricate one/some other idea, then please do let me know !

ABS is actually worth it. The benefiits may not actually be felt during a TD...even I never managed to activate the ABS during the 6-odd test rides even though I pushed the TD bikes to 100+. The fact is, you need some panic braking situations on gravelly/dusty roads for the ABS to kick in. I realized the necessity of ABS only after owning the bike.

Truly, preference for colour is subjective. At the same time, cultural influences exert their pull and push on such choices.

Very frankly, I am saddened to see a marked preference for the colour black in India these days. Bikes, phones, clothes - one sees black almost everwhere. IMO, we are mindlessly aping Western mores when we discard our own brilliant reds and whites and oranges, colours so intrinsic to our nation that they have found their way into our national flag too.

In the West esp Europe, black is preferred as it is resistant to showing dirt and grime. In the cold climates of the temperate countries that make up Europe, it is a pain to clean material regularly so black is an easy way out. Very strangely, black is a business colour as well as that of mourning.

As humans, we have been gifted the ability to see this simply remarkable world in the most incredible hues, tints and shades of such colour that only the Almighty can play Holi with. And added to that is the passionate nature of the average Indian. We are an emotional people with myriad treasures in art, music, food, et al. And this extravaganza finds expression in our fantastic colours. What is the sunset without colour and it is better to die than to see a sunrise without the pinks tinting the horizon.

My bike is Candy Red. Flamboyant, energetic, young, spirited, free, warm, loving... It makes feel so alive just to see it parked there, glistening in the sunlight, winking at me, seducing me to take it for a spin.

As such, there is enough blackness in Life without having an extra bit of it in an activity I treasure.

So, black for me is almost absent in daily life...

About the ABS.

The way I see it is that I prefer as few electronic interventions in my gadgets as possible. A peculiar idiosyncrasy but that is the way it is.

Electronic safety aids like the ABS, IMO, tend to make the rider a wee bit complacent about monitoring riding conditions. They take away the intrinsic caution of the mind and place control in the hands of a box of electronics. It is infinitely preferable to be a tad overcautious on a gravelly patch than to allow electronics to intervene on what is essentially very dangerous ground.

Also, an ABS rider does not take the effort to read the road as carefully as a non-ABS chap. It is natural to think "ABS hai na" and ride on. Result? A less complete rider, with inadequate knowledge about how the bike will function on various surface conditions. What happens when such a rider rides a non-ABS bike?

I am so critical about the CABS CBR because most importantly, it cannot be switched off at will. Shucks, an autopilot which remains enabled all the while? Then what of the skills of the pilot??

My personal opinions etc.

Havent been able to find it there ! Could you please post the link if you've seen it ? Thanks alot !

Sorry to hear your accident bro. I wish you will recover soon. As far as the cost of fairing is concerned please find them below as in New Delhi.
1. Side fairing - 1200INR
2. The silver/blue part fairing between side & front fairing - 375
3. Front indicators - 400INR( though you can use Stunner's indicators, both are same as confirmed from the Honda mechanic, will save u some bucks)
4. Heat shield - 700( I think, don't remember exactly).

Hope these information helps you.

So if the brakes aren't pulsing, the ABS surely hasn't kicked in?

No skidding while panic breaking is a boon.

For people confused over black and tri-color here are both the rides that I maintain and pamper time to time..

If you didn't feel any pulsation from the brakes, the ABS surely didn't kick in. The only precaution you need to keep in mind is - ABS will reduce your chance of skidding out of control - but it will also reduce your braking power. The bike won't skid, but won't brake as efficiently as it would have on a dry surface. More importantly, the bike can be steered while the brakes are still on without the risk of fishtailing.

For example, if you riding at 70kph and suddenly a find an obstacle a few metres ahead of you. On a dry road, you'd safely grind to a halt before the obstacle. On a wet/slippery road, you can hit the panic brakes and simultaneously steer clear of the obstacle. If you just jam the brakes hoping to come to a full halt, you are in for a minor collision - maybe at 20kph.




Dude...do you own both the ceebers???

Tricolour is a serious head turner ..and for me it is easy to maintain also ..no issues..only one thing annoys me ..when ppl asks "is it cbr 150 ?"

naah..
in 41 days.. 17k km..unofficial world record... so now it stays here in my parking... and i take care of both of em ..

naah.. mine is tri-colour.. but black is for a very close riding buddy who bought the cbr for his india trip and done with it
in 41 days.. 17k km..unofficial world record...
though the 77 bull in the last pic behind the cbr is mine...

this happens to me as well.. due to non plain colours and mixed combo's in 150r people get misguided as this being a 150R..

Whoa! 17000 kms in 41 days!!! That should shatter IBA records, if not world records!

Is that up for grabs ? , its illegal to have 2 cbr's 1 bullet and a classic cbz in one's garage!
