    p.s. cbr 150r can also tour.
    Comparing to 150R, CBR250R is good bcz on highways the engine feel comfort than 150R

    try out test drives .. even for the 150R if possible and choose what suits.. being honda engines all are suitable for touring its the load capaity and top speeds that will vary... all honda engines can take some serious punishments
    What is the CBR250R mileage in city

    Can we replace the stock shocks to Unicorn or FZ shocks. Bcz when i drive both FZ & Unicorn the suspension feel too good

      *150R for mileage and handling.

      btw 150R does not offer C-ABS . which is a life saver whn u hav to brake suddely.. i use mine to the core.. i come cruising at 75 and suddenly hit brakes hard and yet minimal or no skids ...yeah ! i know i cant flaunt the bike much that way but being in chennai where anyone may just jump in front of u .. i can just hard brake without worryin of falling or skidding ..

      150R expected to be 1.2lac, 250R 1.6lac ,250R(c-abs) 1.9lac..
      How is the CBR250R performance & mileage in our city. I'm also planning to buy,
      Is CBR150R available in chennai
      One more question How is the light output at night specially on Highways

        abs is good feature to have,considering the dynamics of 2 wheeler it is more necessary for 2 wheeler rather than 4 wheeler.
        p.s.although abs is helpful,one can brake with less stopping distance and without skidding or lifting wheels,but leave those tricks to the skillfulled ones,we are less mortals
        and the question remains why do i race?
        every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

          CBR250R performs awesome and flawlessly... in city provided it does not get too congested i get 38+.. but i hav at one time got 37 that was during rush hour , bumper bumper traffic at tirmangalam signal.. was always on wrong low gear..

          but heads turn a lot whn am driving it in the city ... evn bad roads seem smooth ...

          C-ABS is a blessing whn you are drinin at 75 in T.ngr :P .. cops who stop for checking end up discussing about the bike and buy me free tea :P and after a chat am on way .(and i would not even taken out the papers )...

          i just cant explain enough.. get a test drive at the nearest HOnda ... and i dont thing 150R will be available till end of march...

            fz and unicorn both have prolink shocks or monoshocks,so less tuning required and more comfort,but fitting those shocks in twister can be quite heck of a experiment and costly too.

              for strictly city rider i don't recommend cbr 250 r,rather buy 150 r.why buy a bike which you don't take to its maximum potential?250 r's strength lies in highways.light output is great but not satisfactory if you are used to p220's amazing projectors[according to me a must have for highway mile munchers]

                these 2 words suit ninja better.
                p.s. not undermining cbr's potential.

                  the same dilema again... i have a gud 250 which fits my needs, and then there is a smaller one which is less fiery in to my pocket and does almost the same job and "maybe" looks cooler!

                    First order of the day as soon as i find time... did approx 100kms around bang on my twister today , else it would have happened today itself!

                    any ideas about when the 150's are coming in?

                        I'm trying to get the shocks of Passion pro, which are of exact length(thats what my mech said) and have a little bit more damping effect. prob next month first week, once my sal comes in.

                            Ya sure i'll test drive it as soon.
                            But i don't think so Honda ll launch CBR150R in india. Bcz before launching the CBR250R Honda said, they ll not launch another 150cc in India. so that they launched CBR250R instead of 150R

                            Ya that's a hard experiment but if i got fixed perfectly na it'll give good suspension na. Bcz nowadays i hate the suspension, even my Dad's aviator is good in suspension.

                              man i have a passion pro too,it sucks[shocks],very basic ride quality,rather stick to twisters shock or get p135 's shock.

                                what made you think so?they have showcased in auto-expo,announced tentative launch in march-april.they first launched 250 r so that 150 r doesn't eat into 250's sales.
