    Welcome to the low torque figures of the Baby blade - 12.66Nm @ 8500 Rpm, you need to keep the engine steaming hot in the power-band to get what you want.

        low torque taking a toll on performance huh?
        and the question remains why do i race?
        every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

            Eh comre on man... Its a track oriented bike... And a pretty 'pretty' one too.... The low torque thing is yeah, a pain, but there's gotta be a reason for that which only YOU (on exploring) can tell us...

                Dude , I can help you in Acceleration . This bike has got Long Gear . That means , if you Rev suddenly in the ( 3,4,5 and 6 ) gear it will slowly increases ( acceleration will be sluggish ) and when it reaches its Torque range around 7 k RPM it starts Flying and the Speedo Digits will rapidly increases . on the other hand , if you take short and middle geared bikes like Stunner , Unicorn etc , When you suddenly accelerate means it just Blazes off . But those bike will easily attains 80 km/hr and it starts struggling to go more Further speeds .

                Simple note - Short / Middle geared bikes are meant for initial pickup , where as Long geared bikes are meant for to achieve TOP SPEED in ease ..

                Correct me if i am wrong

                Cheers S.V.Prasad

                            honda marketing has become ridiculous..

                              I think most of the showrooms got Display bikes.

                              At my home town I inquired about CBR150R while booking a DIO for my Dad.
                              They said it is yet to come. But I saw 2 CBRs parked in garage while checking DIO.
                              Suzuki GS150R(Balck) 2009- 2012
                              Yamaha R15 V2(LE white) 2012 and Honda Dio V2 Matte

                                When did u book? .. Only Didar honda had black+white version in display, also they r expecting orange+white version this week(for showroom display).. when asked about delivery, they suggested me to take Black+white version(delivery within 3 days) since they r not sure when other colors will reach chennai
