black is out of the equation, my decision is between red and blue. For the time being i booked a blue one.

i absolutely love the RED one:

but does the white underpiece get muddy/dirty easily from dust/dirt thrown from the front tyre ?

whoever has taken sunset red, please help me out on this.

R15 V2 is exciting for sure... look what it did to his hair !!

anyway congrats dude.. will follow this thread regularly.

hehe lol was just tping wid pic nw cm to topic.

Srry i was nt cming online busy wid ma bike i got the blue 1 on 10th oct. reasons of getting blue.
1-Blue looks awesome in flesh
2-My bro already got the red 1.
3-Blue is official color of yamaha and i asked 7 people out of which 5 said blue luks cool in flesh.

my bike did 200 kms and didnt got any problem till nw except a low screehing sound frm frnt tyre may be sm sand particle scrating the disk (if any 1 have sol. kindly tell me).

other wise bike is awesome not a single problem till now.
will update further abt mileage and all.

Safe riding
RIP Super Sic! :'(

I recently booked a red cbr non abs. I dont have any idea about the repsol version but the tri colored i.e white blue red might be released during the diwali. I too love r-15 alot. No doubt i would have gone for it but the rear seat is an issue for me as i many times have a pillion rider with me.
I dont know if its against the rules to mention other sites but check out 'cbr250.net' website. There are alot of post which wil help you out.

sure mate
im from kovilambakkam , near pallavaram by pass
wher do u stay & im yet to get the delviery of the bike due to RTO registration issues

nice meeting u here machi

I stay in Pammal !! 1 km from pallavaram Bus Stand !! Why da ? You just bring your bike to your home & register by yourself !! I did the same to my Baby R15 Version 1.0 !! I'm waiting eagerly to see your bike !! Hahaha
You have G TALK ?

you cud try pressure washing in the front tyre,if there is any particle,it shud come out i guess.

Hi ArriveAlone,

Please do not mind, but can you post the questions in the CBR thread?

You make my mind divert from the V2!

Jokes apart, but let let this thread be of the R15 v2.0!
I hope you understand!

'Peace'

I completely agree with Shreyassave , and really appreciate ArriveAlone questions so far on this thread.. I believe most of your questions might have already been answered on CBR250R Thread - it will also give you an opportunity to learn all other pros-n-cons which you might be not aware-off. Really appreciate if you could take a look at CBR250R's existing thread and probably you can educate us on some of the biking essentials ...

As I have already booked my V2 and awaiting for delivery soon, m keanly following this thread to make sure m not missing out on anything... As ArriveAlone exploring options other than V2, when I am reading pages of discussion- for a while my mind getz divert and I think of cancelling my booking .. BUT R15-V2 ultimate facts re-assure my decision and fulfill my 14months wait n dream, I would be a v proud owner soon to claim that "I HAVE THE BEST SIDE OF TRUE BIKING WORLD"...and I also believe R15 V2 is much more than a Handsome Package for what you pay.

Peace!

Hey folks, Let me throw some cool numbers which would get true comfort and auto experience...
For Car - Its always 4 people on long drives
For Bike - Its only the rider in long rides
Anything +4 with Car and +1 on Bike is said to be an Compromise (Long distance)...Specially you are compromising on Bike's handling on Highways, think about it!.... On the other side City rides are always short and doesn't matter much on seating comfort @Harsh - As you mentioned you always accompanied with Pillion, ur CBR pick will help you move faster in City but that's not the true reason of dropping plans of R15 V2..
Enjoy the machines with given numbers!

Hello Buddy, This is not an Answer to either of your questions listed above.. However when I was reading your message where you had mentioned about Brakes and its Ratio.. I wasn't sure on the right ratio, so I did some research and found some useful notes, which might be helpful to folks on this Thread.... here you go!

Common Questions: How to Brake on a Motorcycle

Should I use the front, rear brake… or both?
Balance is crucial to a motorcycle’s dynamics, and that’s why most bikes have individual front and rear brake controls. Most experts agree that roughly 70% of braking effort should go to the front wheel (which uses the hand lever on the right grip), and 30% to the rear (which is operated by the right foot pedal.) Front brakes require more effort because weight transfer from slowing down will shift the bike’s balance from the rear wheel to the front, enabling the front tire to handle more load. When there’s less downforce on the rear tire, it becomes much easier to lockup and slide that wheel, resulting in a loss of control... the front, however, is less likely to slip because of the weight transferred to that end.

Braking by bike type
The 70/30 braking ratio can shift slightly based on the type of bike you’re riding; cruisers and choppers can handle more rear braking because they carry more weight over their rear wheel (due to the rearward position of the saddle), while sport bikes can tolerate higher front braking effort since their forks are more vertical and their wheelbases are shorter. Dirt bikes rarely see front brake usage due to the nature of loose terrain (see more on this in “Be aware of road conditions,” below.) In the hands of experienced riders, motard or supermoto bikes can even be slowed down by sliding out the rear tire.

How hard can I brake?
Learning the finer points of your bike’s braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control, so it’s a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment. Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot or empty lot, and you’ll start to get a feel for the amount of effort that triggers tire slip. Try stopping with your fronts only, your rears only, and then a combination of both: that way, you’ll get a sense of how hard you can apply the brakes in a panic stopping situation.
Once you become familiar with your bike’s brakes, the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent. Stopping hard enough on the fronts might even lift the rear wheel up, and using the rear brakes hard enough will cause a skid. You’ll also find that you can get away with applying more pressure at higher speeds. Learn those limits, and you’ll be much better prepared for the unexpected.

The lean angle issue
Tires are most effective when they’re upright, so you’ll need to keep that in mind when you start to lean your bike over. Let’s say that 100% of a tire’s available grip is available when it’s at a 90 degree angle; once that angle starts decreasing, its ability to maintain grip will also drop. Though grabbing the front brake might not break the tire free when it’s upright, the same effort could cause a skid when the tire is leaned over, and that loss of traction can instantly lead you to “tuck” the tire under, triggering a wipeout. Some braking effort can be applied while a motorcycle is turning, but the bike will be far less tolerant of brake input when increased lean angles are involved. Be hyper aware when you squeeze the brakes while you’re turning, and try to get most—if not all—of your braking before you turn.

Be aware of road conditions
Different surface conditions require different braking techniques, and you’ll want to use your front brakes gingerly when traction is iffy. Locking up the fronts can easily cause you to lose control of your bike, while locking up the rear is much more likely to be inconsequential. The possibility of sliding either end of your bike will be greatly dependent on the traction conditions beneath your tires.
Enter areas where oil spills are likely with caution; these high-risk areas include intersections and parking lots. Drag your rear brake where you suspect slick surfaces, and you’ll have a backup plan in case you start to feel the front tires slide. It takes quick reflexes, so stay on your guard and remember that it’s much easier to recover from a rear wheel lockup than it is a front slide.
Those rules get taken to another level when it comes to riding offroad, as dirt bike riding almost never involves the front brakes. If you plan on hitting trails, make it a habit to keep your hand off the front brake lever, or else you might have to get used to tasting dirt more often than you need to.

How about linked brakes?
Many scooters, touring bikes, cruisers, and even sport bikes are equipped with linked brakes, which are designed to actuate both front and rear brakes through a single lever. Some systems are only rear-to-front linked, while others work both ways, but the goal is the same both: remove some of the guesswork involved with choosing between front and rear brakes. While a majority of riders can’t produce stopping distances as short as those created by linked braking systems, this feature isn’t always popular among some performance-oriented enthusiasts.

What about ABS?
ABS, short for anti-lock braking systems, is designed to detect tire slip and “pulse” the brakes so they don’t skid. The system allows the rider to apply full effort at the hand or brake levers without worrying about locking up the tires, but ABS isn’t effective when a bike is leaned over.
Though it’s difficult to match the stopping distance of an ABS-equipped bike in wet or compromised traction situations, not all riders are enthusiastic about computerized brake intervention. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is considering making ABS mandatory on motorcycles, but both sides of the debate can be quelled when manufacturers equip ABS bikes with a switch that can turn the system on and off.

Hello !! CBR 250R thread had crossed 500 + pages !! If i search regarding with my questions , My eyes are crying !! I don't like to strain my eyes .. Because i'm already wearing a Spex !! For that sake , i asked anyone of the CBR 250R owners to clarify my last few doubts in this thread !!

Anyways Thank you for sharing your Suggestion !!
I Better ask my questions on **********.in !!

Special thank's to the guys who had clarified my doubts regarding the mileage of the CBR 250 R
!!

And i Apologize , for the inconvenience caused !!

' Peace '

To all the V2 owners here, what changes did you notice in performance and handling of your bike than the V1 ? Asking out of curiosity

I myself like r15 specially the version 2. Yes the CBR will help me move a bit faster. There were 2 reasons i didnt go for the r15 - 1st is the pillion seat ( you have to agree that it is really not comfortable). If i was to ride alone most of the time i would have gone for r15, 2nd was that i felt the bike looks a little small for people above 6ft ( i know many people above 6ft dont have any problem, but just my opinion) ....
I recently saw the version 2 in flesh on road and it looked bigger than the previous 1... superb bike
and btw HAPPY DIWALI every1
