    Exactly, we are on same page then!

    Agreed, considering that Duke's price is introductory and will soon be hiked, I still believe CBR250 is a great product at that price. More over it's complete contrast to Duke 200 and hence serves a different set of requirements. If anyone is looking for a tourer, then I think it has to be CBR250, I don't mean to say that you can't tour on Duke 200. But if most of the riding happens within city with occasional touring then Duke will sound more practical.

    Without a doubt!

    Two things I can think of are, DOHC engine, don't really know how advantageous this is and perhaps mileage, considering the detuned state of the engine when compared to the version sold in other markets. But, all the same, price is really not justified. It will sell, but not the way it would have sold if it was priced sensibly. This might just go the Jazz way.

    Lot will depend on how P200NS will be priced, if P220S discontinuation is any indication, it would be below 1 lakh OTR (strictly my speculation).

There's nothing wrong in admitting what's wrong; like they say, there're 3 sides to an argument, your side, my side & the right side, I usually don't like to fall under 1st two. And when people say something incorrect, I'd certainly stand up to clear that up.
    Can't really say that I understand your point, so are you saying CBR150's price is justified or are you saying CBR250 is not that a great product for it's price? or are you saying i'm a fan boy for Duke? Of course, I admit that i'm a fan boy for Duke, more so for Pulsar, just the way they improved over time amazes me.

    I just tried to convey that CBR150 is over priced for what it offers, compared to it CBR250 was fairly priced given the fact that there wasn't a proper choice available in that range. The way you mentioned CBR150 with Duke just caught my attention, that's about it

    I don't think it's opposite; its only a Honda's dream on premium 150's share, nothing else. While KTM is already offering a better not only in pricing but also in value, with P200NS, this is almost dead. May be it sells just for fairings, but then, R15 already has everything what C150R has. I don't know what is unique with C150R except for colors & graphics.

    No, there's nothing to regret, if you do. RTR 180 is also a great bike, especially the white one has great looks, has powerful headlights & a great exhaust note. It doesn't matter how fast is your ride, what matters more is how much you cherish the ride; like I still feel pride to ride on my Activa as well as my Rx though I've my CBR. That is bound to happen only when you buy something out of love for what uniqueness the product offers rather than anything else.

    Nithesh - Personally, I feel C150R not only needs correction in price, but also has to offer something that is little different from what's available in the market; the fact is both R15 & N250R are established, but, C250R is completely opposite to what N250R is all about; but that's not the case with R15 & C150R. So you see, C150R has a really tough times ahead, atleast, that's what I feel.

    Man all this lack of sleep must be getting to me.

    Anyway whoever gets his delivery first, please dont forget to put up a first ride report/review/ownership w/e comes first.
    Im dying to see how the 150R fairs in India.

    See the first few pages are base for everything; not everyone will have patience to go through all the 100's of pages. And...if a product has a positive review by the experts, no matter how bad it is, everyone will start seeing it in a positive way. That's called...First Impression.


    Yes, a good product & far far superior looking than any other bikes (including CBR, IMHO); unfortunately TVS themselves are killing it; worst case, they should've atleast rebored the cylinder to 200 or 250CC & sold one. I know its easier said than done, but atleast worth the effort.
    I really respect Aargee Sir,PSR Sir.They have contributed a lot to this community I own an RTR 180 and now i think,it would have been better if i would have saved and waited a little more to get the CBR250.Nevertheless,two of my friends own CBR,and i ride whenever i get a chance

    Can you point us to those "reports" please?


    And we all wonder at xbhp how somebody's "Reports" without any proof or links go viral and spread a bad word about a product they havent even seen in flesh yet?



    Amazing. One guy's random news goes viral and there are already two believers for it :P
    Btw what is P200 FS? Full Synthetic? Full saree? please provide some source .. please?
    ROFL
    Congrats on winning RTR 180 ABS

    ontopic: Will the 150R's fairings fit onto the 250R is the question. I wouldnt mind storing a few of those at home just incase i feel like switching to and fro
