      Here is the link to the thread:
      Honda Cbr 250R 2011 - Thailand Forum
      anybody went through the below links on the Thailand forum??

      i do see some differences (color scheme, exhaust, front disk rotor, alloy color, etc.) between the 150 posted on our forum and the 250 in the above links. i guess this can be the 250 they might launch over here but as somebody mentioned earlier a single cylinder 250 at around 2.7L will certainly not have many takers...

      • Had already been through the photos posted you you. Its like going round and round in circles.

        Those photos were printed on a Japanese Magazine and are nothing more than speculated Photoshopped jobs based on the spy images of the new CBR 150R. The recent photos of the new CBR 150R are the most authentic images that can be taken to be the real thing.

        The rumored 250 cc still remains a rumor.

          • The tail, tank and side panels are very Dazzlerish. So i gues it Will be launched in India. This could be Honda's answer to R15 and a way to attract more people to there showrooms.

            I may not buy CBR150 but i am looking forward to Yamaha's big scoots. If they are of the size of Kinetic Blaze, i will sure buy one for my office commutes.

                  If this bike has R15-bettering performance then it will be an one-tight slap to Yamaha for slapping on a 100 spec tyre to extract better performance. I still remember the interview of Yamaha R&D chief's reply when asked about the tyre's width.

                  130 spec tyre on a 150cc bike is huge and despite of it if it's a stonker in performance then all bows to HONDA!!

                  Oh, i forgot about the DOHC, Did the older CB150 had DOHC setup, if no then this bike will be much responsive and refined than the older one.

                            Would that be seen as downgrading?
