If you read all the problems now, I guarantee that you wont buy it. Those wobbling are minor issues. I experienced a lot of handling problems when I kept incorrect pressures. Im new to this bike segment and Im learning a lot.
    Actually i keep reading reviews of the baby blade everywhere .. i watched this review and got a little worried when he said it rattles like hell when past 110 kmph mark..

        I can personally assure u that if there is anything this bike wont do its rattle... Its never shows any undue vibes even at 140kmph let alone 110kmph
        Its equally poised at high speeds... In fact its past 100kmph mark things get really sexy..

        PS. Stop going by crappy reviews by news reader who know nothing about motorcycles

          Those guys couldnt even get the Bike's name right. its a CBR 150R and not just a CBR 150. Damn! WHy do people believe what these so called news reporter turned "reviewers" have to say anyway?

          I quote: "To extract the 12.66Nm Torque you have to "Redline" her to 8500 RPM" - LMFAO!! How do you redline at 8500 Rpm?

          And they said the only difference between the 150 and the 250 is the exhaust and the black alloys - ROTFL!
          So you see this is more than enough proof that their knowledge is highly limited

            I just read that page and found this from that page:
            "This bike features an analog instrument panel with fuel gauge, speedometer, odometer, tachometer, temperature gauge and turn signal indicator and high beam headlight indicator"


            Its an analog and digital combo instrument panel. He doesn't even know this simple thing! I did not even see the video.

            • Never knew the Green paintjob of the 150R actually existed for the bigger siblings. This is what i came across today.

                I laughed at the redlining at 8500 rpm and i even agree to everything you say about this guy knowing nothing about the bike ...my concern was a statement that it rattles at 110... i thought he cant be wrong about what he can see and feel... it turned out that he was wrong indeed...

                  That green color variant in the pic is actually 2009 CBR 600R and its a upgrade to the 2008 Lambo Green (the first green in CBRs I guess).

                  Just minutes before landed in home after a 200+200 km of "gliding"! The onward journey was with 3 stops on a state highway. But, the answer for your concern is my return leg of non-stop 200 km on butter-smooth NH-7 with constant triple digits. The baby never got tired and never 'rattled' No butt, back or wrist pain except for numbness in my right hand thumb. And am getting deeply committed with ma Jade!
                  The limiter kicks in @11,500 rpm just within a second after the first shift..And, that's where the fun begins !! ;)

                      • Off late I have been saying about the false gear problem. This problem seems to be increasing in my bike ever since my first service. Earlier I wasn't having false gears while upshifting but, I have started to get that for sometime now. I have ridden my bike hard for the last 500 kms and total odo reading is close to 1100 kms now. The average has also dropped to around 31-32 kmpl. Should i go for an engine oil change. Has anyone tried any other variant of oil other than the honda one (like motul) and whether it will void waranty? any suggestiions please!!!
                        Drive Safe and wear your helmet always!!!

                          Using any oil other than Honda will void warranty. You can change the oil to any other brand after the warranty period. You are just 1100kms. I have false gears in 3200 kms itself. Only the first 3 gears is false for me in both upshift and downshift. But its happening occasionally.

                              i have done 2200 kms and still have gear shift issues. Like said above, only first three gears have problem rest are all fine.
                              Screw in my left handle bar often comes out even though tightened fully. Should i have to change the handle bar ? ASC guy asked me change the handle bar after that accident. So is the accident caused the problem and it is normal ?. I am afraid what all unseen damages that accident (more than accident that idiot driver) could have done to my bike. And pls tell me is it advisable to travel long distance with pillion. Shouldn't affect the performance of my bike. Ever noticed in your bike that sluggishness after the fuel level drop say comes to 2 bars ? . My bikes feels someone pulling it from behind in this fuel level. When the tank is full, there is no problem. Pls share your views.

                                Ive done 200 kms + with pillion. The only issue I had was the pain which happens to me while riding solo. ANd even my uncle drove with pillion for 140kms. My pillion was 75 kilos and I never had those lack of power. But my bike was rough in riding at around 2500kms. IT was like grinding stone inside engine. Your lack of power issue is weird. I recently am experiencing no power in the first gear. My second service has a lot of To Do lists.
                                Do u check your tire pressures? I once had this handling issue when there was 21 psi in front tire. BTW, I changed to Nitrogen for the tires which helps maintain tire pressure for 2 to 3 months.

                                Since you met with an accident, I suggest you take up a complete check of the bike. And I suggest you to change the parts if there is need. A small problem left careless might result in a bigger problem.
