@catchdebanjan ---> 1. How is the riding comfort, especially in traffic? 2. how responsive are Brakes ?
1. Riding comfort is pretty good.. Even with a pillion in traffic bike feels
great and spirited.
2. Brakes are good even under sudden braking conditions it doesnt have the tendency to lock...

Riding Impression: The bike is an absolute joy to ride. It has enough acceleration. Feels well planted, thanks to its chunky tires and excellent
frame.
Power delivery: is linear and bike is easy to ride even in traffic.
Comfortable: Its quite comfortable and both seats provide adequate
cushioning
Fuel Efficiency: First Service is still due so, cant comment but its being claimed by my fellow owners that it returns upto 50+ KMPL under tame riding conditions
Any niggles: none except the engine kill switchLife is an Open Road For me..Comment

I have owned bajaj pulsar 135 LS prior to this.. But, I am comparing my riding experience to all other bikes I have ridden which includes..Originally posted by neoakshay View Post@catchdebanjan - Thanks for the quick reply! One small OT, Which bike did you own/ride previously?
Asking this question to know what you'll be comparing your riding experience against..
Bajaj Pulsar 150, 180
TVS Apache RTR 160, 180
Bajaj Avenger 200
KTM Duke 200
Honda CBR 250R
My Baby Pulsar was an absolute joy to ride in traffic but, In high speeds
80-100Kmph it could have done better with mayb a lil more weight [my weight is 60Kg ]
I took a lotta test rides at various showrooms prior to going for the CBR 150. But, given its dimensions It is pretty easy to master I would say
Being a fully faired bike that too my first I thought it would take a lil time betting used to which it to my surprise it didnt

Rode this bike today. My friend did the first servicing two days back,so I took it to Chennai-Banglore highway. It was early morning 6.00 am , and in that time the road remains full empty.
The bike performs like a normal 150cc bike at lower rpm, but once you take take it an excess of 6k, it becomes a rocket. The bike is not an UNDERPOWERED bike atleast for me. Engine is smooth and gear shifting is butter smooth. Many are saying that the bike is overpriced, but I feel that I am no one to comment on that.Honda knows what they are doing.
The top speed is quite impressive, as I have managed to hit 146 kmph, and the engine was performing the same.
BTW I ride R15 V2.0

I feel like supermanOriginally posted by catchdebanjan View Post Seriously bhai, the engine is very refined. I rode Duke few days back and managed a top whack of 141 kmph, but the feeling was as if I am torturing it (after 110 kmph). This bike feels a lot smoother then its elder sibling too.

I like the last bit on ur earlier post "I ride R15 V2.0".. I think
we are all bikers at heart and there is no harm in appreciating a good
motorcycle.. I bought the cbr doesnt mean I ll say the duke is bad
motorcycle.. I took a test ride on the duke too.. I loved it but,
The CBR suits my needs better thats all..Life is an Open Road For me..Comment
