Hey guys,
Sharing a few pictures from today's ride to the famous Slopes of Hell.
This was the first and the last time I've taken the CBR to a place like this.
It was very scary while riding downhill.

Why last time ? Did CBR make you feel bad in any situation ? BTW the place is in Pune ?

Yes, the rear tyre was stuck twice in the gravel on the uphill climb, a fellow rider had to push my bike to set it free, and while riding downhill the seating position did not help much.. In simple terms, it was a total offroad climb and descent. Which I personally would not like to do on my CBR again.

This place is near Kamshet.

for doing offroad like these.. you should remove some air from the tyre.. get it to somewhere around 25ish and you will get far better traction and control... always drag your brakes while coming down. Dont panic brake it will always cause skidding...

That's true, however it does not work where all you have are rocks and boulders [emoji6]

Took the baby CBR to Lavasa today.
In fact I'm writing this post from Herr sipping garam Chai.
The bike performs wonderfully.

Hi Karthick, you took CBR recently? Could you please let me know the details i mean waiting time, dealer etc.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

I booked the bike at Aadi Honda, Sathy Road, Coimbatore on 5th September and they delivered the bike on 21st November 2014. The dealer forget to place the order in the September month itself so that is the reason so for the long waiting period. if you want the bike immediately go to Chandra Honda, Mettupalayam Road, Coimbatore. where the black 250R ABS is looking for its rider.......

If you do not have issues keeping your legs folded over extended hours and can tolerate a mild pressure on the palms, you would do fine. By long rides I understand more than 500 Kms.

If you can adjust a good riding posture its all good. Another part of long tours is how healthy you are. If you are in poor physical condition(not illness, fitness is what matters) you will not feel any stress at all

CBR 250 maintenance

I recently picked up a CBR 250 and I would love to get pointers and tips from the owners im regards to personal maintenance and DIY's of the little Honda. I have been a bulleteer and am new to quarter litre bikes. (I love to pamper my bikes personally!) TIA!

R15 to CBR250R should be a very logical and appreciable upgrade if touring is what you intend to do.

Its got better power, lower stress levels from the engine at similar RPMs, a much more touring friendly riding position when compared with your current bike.

However, you might miss the extremely sharp handling inside city traffic. That flickability of the R15 is unmatched.

But for touring, you have asked your question on the right thread!

Bike wise, yes it will the perfect jump. The comfort level will be really good. The riding position on the cbr is similar to the ninja , and less sportier than the r15, so it should be quite comfortable.
But from current scenario point of view. The CBR has stopped production , there is a revamped model(cosmetic) coming up and dealers now have only old stock or they are not accepting bookings, so do wait for a while before purchasing.

Re: Honda CBR 250R

CBR 250 is still the best tourer in India at 2 lacs budget. But the handling and agility has no match to the R15. But then, you have no other option, but to go with CBR. I would say, wait till march, untill the news of CBR300 becomes clear. Till then, enjoy your R15.
