    Thanks man! I'm on top of the world today! I'm seeing many positive reviews about the 150R on FB, and it's making me even more ecstatic about my decision!

    They're very similar. The CBR150R is shorter in length, but taller in height. You can tell the difference mainly by tyres and colours.
    A good rider has balance, judgment, and good timing. So does a good lover!

      From the front too, you can make out the two. The parking lights are different, the transparent visor comes down in a "V" fashion above the headlight unlike the 250R. Apart from that, it comes with a ZMA style brake disc in the front, doesn't have the prominent red engine kill switch but you need a trained eye for that.

      P.S. To a layman, however, they're VERY similar.

                I was made to go to each department holding on my booking form, first to delivery section which was crowded, had to really wait for some time only to be told to call the sales rep. The sales rep had to give him the folder which was just laying on the table next to him.
                They had goofed up by putting someone else's insurance in my file.... So next to insurance department.. Here again the agent was busy explaining his colleague that someone had filled the insurance form upside down, another 15 min gone....
                Then to the security, just to sign in their record.... It was raining profusely and people were waiting in the rain to sign. Another 15 mins... I mean why should a customer go through all these formalities ? Can't they keep everything ready, just get our sign and hand over the key !
                I was feeling like I was getting some work done in a Government department

                And finally i could see my bike.
                The best part ! the explanation about the bike, the guy was in a great hurry, he told me how to start the bike, how to switch on the light, indicator etc and that's it. Din't tell me about what precautions I should take like speed limit, coolant level, brake fluid etc.

                And now comes the most annoying part, I had inspected the vehicle earlier and there was a scratches on the silencer covering. The sales rep had promised me to replace it while delivering. Instead of replacing they had tried buffing and the scratch hadn't gone. The sales rep promised me that they will replace during my first service
                I had inspected the vehicle a day before and there was no scratches earlier.

                The last vehicle I bought was a Honda city. My delivery was like a ceremony !
                They had arranged a pundit to do pooja, all the staff had assembled to congratulate me while handing over the key, they process was so nice, it makes the owner feel so proud.....

                              • May be the ground is not perfectly leveled or may be the cbr250r leans slightly bit more while on side stand. Could be anything ...but it's just a 7mm difference which is not easy to see!
