    Indeed

    Had a short spin on the CBR 250R today and though didn't have the chance to rev it over 7K, but it was flying. On my R15, I used to hit the limiter on those occasions.

    When I rode the R15 for the first time, I didn't like the feel of my 'zma. R15's ride is more connected, but I have had my fill of it. One of the best Motorcycles I have ridden/owned.

    The pricing shall be a key.

      Well, I stressed more on 10,500RPM and not 19HP.

          Wish Honda do a CBR150R version 2.0 before launching it here.

            If the R15 was designed for European market then for sure the engine could have been over square.

            But this is for India, prior to R15 no one could have cranked upto 10,500RPM here, on any bike upto the 220CC. R15 is a Race replica, which was cunningly designed for streets and CBR is more of a Track bike.

            The CBR churning 19Hp at 10,500RPM doesn't make much sense here. Everyday users will feel the Engine painful, keeping it at higher RPMs always.

            Moreover R15 will beat CBR many times in Fuel Consumption. So even if the CBR 150 is launched here, it will merely boost the sales for Yamaha.
            uhmm...that's because there's only pulsar which have 220cc right?
            a bike which have a poor engine response (sorry to say, it's pure my oppinion and means no offense to pulsar's rider)

            is there anyone in india which don't twist the throttle of R15 or RTR upto the redline??? i think they must be gramps...

            also R15 won't beat CBR in Fuel Consumption many times, maybe you should read this (underbone tuner: The NEW HONDA CBR150i 2011)

I think you should first check how quick the CBR was over the R15 when a test was conducted at the MMSC a couple of years back.
              yup, these are performance bikes..
              and that old CBR (which smoked R15) is indeed have a poor FE, it's about 35-38kmpl (well, still better than suzuki FXR)

                chassis, muffler, front cowling, headlamps, lower cowling, swingarms, blablabla...there's so much diff between them

                  yes, it's true..and you can try yourself if you get one..
                  and you can read the underbone tuner's review (underbone tuner: The NEW HONDA CBR150i 2011) that they got 146km/h with the new CBR150..also you can find any review that said the old CBR is faster than the Fi due the lighter bike (115kg dry weight / about 15kg lighter than the Fi)

                  actually the Thailand version got 19.5HP with 17Nm of torque, not 18.98PS..and the Indonesian version only got 17.8PS with 12.66Nm (damn!!)
                  so i can't say that it will got the same power with the thailand version..

                    On the other note, I feel, it might turn cannibalistic by eating CBR250R's market. Any takes on this?
                    now you mention the R15V2.0 case..so everybody need a bigger bhp number right?

                    it won't eat the CBR250R's market coz it will priced so close with it..
                    it happened in here (indonesia) and thailand..
                    so most of us will think it's better take the CBR250R than CBR150Fi, but it will better to take Ninja 250 since it has a bigger HP

                      Mostly this version will make it to India, IF it is really coming.
                      Indian emission norms are stricter than Thailand. Even the cars end up being detuned compared to their Thai counterparts.

                      It will be good to have a bike in 150cc sports segment other than R15 though.
                      Quench my thirst with gasoline!

                        the thai's cbr150fi has passed euro3 emission regulation, dunno about indian's..

                        one funny thing is, indonesian version has been detune and also meets euro2 regulation...sigh...hope it won't happened in india..
