    Tell me one thing have u noticed the need to downshift everytime u slow down in higher gears ?? And how is the bike in long trips ?

    yes!... But till 35 kmph you can ride in 6 th,... But less than that you have to gear down. Nahi tho.. You have to suddenly press the clutch to get rid of kat kat kat....

    My FRIEND is having ktm till 30 you can ride on 6 th with out problem..ON KTM

    first it will take time to adjust the seating style...... as i am new to sports style handle...first week it took time to change my riding style..now its fine..
    you can go for long drives... once you adopted to it then no problem...

                So Siddhart Vinayak Patankar on CNB show was absolutely right when he said the bike yields 56kmpl( as claimed by Honda[according to him])

                Those figures alone can sell quite a few 150Rs even if theyre priced a little higher than the competition!

                Do not get into the kat kat kat zone.. You are basically lugging the engine in higher gear at very low rpms. It isnt safe to lug ur engine.

                  The motorcycle looks fantastic, especially the headlights give an impression of an angry face when lit! Congratulations to both the owners

                  I once read an article, it was primarily related to motorcycles and their designing. It said, if the motorcycle's front or headlight resembles a face, then there are better chances of a pedestrian to be more watchful of that particular vehicle while crossing the road. And coincidentally, Honda's design philosophy was mentioned more than anybody else's.

                    I agree. The transparent part of the front cowl coming down all the way forming an angle over the headlight along with the partially blackened parking lights reflector gives it a menacing look. The 250R looks innocent in comparison.
                    You are not a chemical. So think before you react.

                        @dreamseller: True

                        Actually that article was pretty interesting and covered numbers of points not just about motorcycle designing. It also explained that humans react more or better to any object that would resemble a face. It's a human psychology. The point of this explanation was that there would be comparatively much less chances of an accident involving a motorcycle and a pedestrian if the motorcycle's front would resemble a face (preferably aggressive looking) since a pedestrian would expectantly react faster to a motorcycle with such a design and approaching! It made a very interesting read
