    let's see the owners experience 6 months from now..

    I dont know why is everyone so active in criticizing the bike without
    ever having laid hands on it.. All that the owners have said is that It
    could have had a better switchgear considering the price that doesnt
    mean in anyway that the switchgear is of bad quality..

    As for the rest of the bike everthing everything is top notch..

    The paint quality the handle bar is pretty good and most of all it feels
    super to ride and gives u a lot of confidence..

      Its paint quality is very deep.
      It comes with chunky tyres.
      Gives proper big bike feel.
      Dunno what extra anyone want?
      If you said Ninja is overpriced I would've agreed.
      Yeah I know it seems all that matters in a bike is switchgear.. which according to me isnt bad but could have been matter and no one here
      has cared to look past it and post things that really matter in a bike

      acceleration
      handling
      riding comfort
      Fuel Efficiency
      Top Speed
      Head Lights etc. (its lights more powerful than its closest rival the R15)
      Fuel Capacity
      Gear Box

      People wake up there is more to a bike than switchgear

      • There was a show bike in Kun Adyar today. IT was Green black. The color finish is really good. The instrumentation console finish was good but not good than 250 R. the brake lever didn't have rubber padding. IS it like that?
        Can we lower the height of the bike? Just half of my feet is touching ground.
        The showroom guys were so reluctant. Nobody cares about customers. I inquired when bikes will start delivering and he just shrugged off the shoulders.

          same thing happened for me in Kun Honda Adyar...
          I had booked red+white but went yesterday to change it to black+white after seeing the black finish...
          When I asked about the delivery the salesman just replied..
          "We just got a single bike for display"..!!!
          I liked the build quality and the console..
          no pass light switch made me frown..
          but i am sure honda will make up for it with their fantastic performance..
          as per the user reviews they only seem to criticize the build..
          they dont question its performance even with the low torque spec..
          I just want to know .. is there a way to install the pass light switch manually???

            The low torque figure isnt creating much of a problem with the bike's low
            end performance provided u make good use of bike's tall gearing.. I have
            ridden my bike extensively in traffic even with pillion it aint creating much
            problems

              do you feel the absence of pass flash light disturbing..
              because i love using it..
              can it be installed manually anywhere?

                Not quite though my last Pulsar 135LS had one was never in the habit of using one..

                As for getting one, I m not too sure.. Will surely require some additional wiring etc. not a good idea according to me

                    I went again today evening with my mom to the dealer. One person really answered well my queries. HE said that there is no way to adjust the seat height. But they insisted me, not to sit on the bike.

                    Considering Ill take this bike in highways, I feel there is no need for the pass light switch in double lane roads. But in state highways, I feel its added feature although its not important. And don't try to mess with the wiring right now. Maybe in the next upgrade if Honda changes switch gear, you can change at that time.

                            could the cbr250r's handlebar can be used with this one..
                            that has both the engine kill and pass light!!!!

                            • @ To Chennai Buyers ---> Honda hasn't given approval for registering CBR150R yet, so there is delay in delivery and also bike may reach Chennai within 10days, manager is not sure about it

                              @catchdebanjan
                              ---> 1. How is the riding comfort, especially in traffic? 2. how responsive are Brakes ?
