@all..........it seems that my inference was based on inadequate information,hence sorry for that.

The Rear wheel power output as well as the crank PS of the CBR250R has not yet been divulged separately according to the best of my knowledge.

@senthildsk: Figures quoted for the Ninja 250R are for the EX-250-J specifications detailed here:Kawasaki Ninja 250R - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia since I do not possess the original specification sheet of the Ninja 250R.

@satyenpoojary and hyperion: Thanks for the clarification,it gave me new leads to judging a bike.

Therefore I had deleted the particular post,as I do not want my post to be a cause of a fight started about which bike is faster.I was just trying to reason about the fact reported from a comparison between the CBR250R and the Ninja 250R which rumored that the CBR was faster out of the corners.

This is what I totally agree with now.

Will the Honda have such low transmission losses that it will actually output 22bhp at the wheel. I certainly think not. On the R15, from what Im aware there's about 18% losses in transmission amounting to about 13.8-14RWHP on the dyno. The bigger Honda will mostly have similar frictional losses. Irrespective of how much it outputs it will still fall short. But it will still be a good bike to ride no doubt about that and mostly likely fun to potter around the town with more low-midrange torque.

Regardless, It is my understanding from reading through the cbr forums that the bike does a 140kph maybe a little more. One of the owners said that it 'could perhaps manage' 150kph. Ninja is still in a different league. Surpassing it at this stage will require the CBR250 to possess more kit than it comes with. Discussions are fine but a reality check is important.

Meanwhile it would be great if someone could dyno their stock R15/Ninja at Pacer, Bangalore @ 1000/Dyno run. Personally I'd like to know how much power it outputs. If someone is aware of a dynochart online pls PM me the link.

WOW! That's so cool! How did you figure this out?

What I wrote was elementary, single cylinders kick up more torque usually. Hence the CBR would kick more torque than the Ninja. I do know what KTM is, and what it could do. The reference was because they have a BIG single cylinder in their arsenal, which dishes out torque like crazy. And which is why I expect the smaller sibbling to be geared insanely and have peak power in low rpm range.

PS: The second post, you just said the same thing I did. It was only to clarify machs post.

And no I don't hate the Honda, I just hate the fanboys.

+1 to the fanboy stuff.

Some people here need....





I don't get it why are some people comparing 2 *different* bikes, especially when one bike costs double, has double the cylinders and has been around much much longer than the other one.

Totally agree with u.

@Praful: this is more like it


Yes sir, you are right. This is not the KTM thread hence not replying. Feel free to go beyond the call of duty and head to a KTM thread, and I will answer this point by point.


Anup Abraham, has been gifted a CBR250!
(ps: thats 990 adventure, if that comes to India I will be waiting at a hospital to shed a kidney!)

Without even knowing anything you made your expert comment.

From now on this thread is under scan.

y did u edit the post???? u said u will not post any thing right????

So you're not going to trust the 0-100 timing, but you will trust the topspeed mentioned? Why dude?

Anyone got the OTR price in Bangalore for the ABS version?

From what little I know, the prices arent decided yet!

would u.. really..??

ne way its good to see u r trying to get info from other sources but dude... u need to stop showing us that u know everything about everything...

@saikamaldoss :- Take it easy man. Why fight over a bike, just chill

On another note the NSR is a LEGEND! Dont drag it into this discussion. Its also a bike that has to be rebuild every <1000 KMs! Comparing them is absurd.

Just because someone writes a claim on top speed of the bike on the international forum, doesnt necessarily means its true! Relax~! Stop the PR please! xBHP has way more reputation/inteligence than those sites. More so its a manufacutrer specific fanboy site!

PS: The indian verison may just as well be a retuned model of the Thai one as we have stricter norms! So perf figures for now, make little sense!

Edit:
Dude, no one is trying to prove you wrong! Every one is questioning the ridiculous claim, we criticized the incorrect assumption on the crash pics too, didn’t we?
We corrected the incorrect info about torque/corners and look how mach acknowledged and responded to it! That is a sign of a good listener and someone who could interpret what we are trying to talk about! You on the other hand are blabbering about a bike which is still to come to India about an information that no one was seeking! PS: We don’t mind you not agreeing to us, but don’t want you trying to go to ridiculous extent in making us agree on what you say too!
Relax!

My 220 has been giving me electrical issues off late and stalled thrice yesterday. Moreover, all probikings in NCR don't have the part i require. Makes me feel like a Fiat Palio owner
Hence in a fit of rage, i booked the Honda 250R

8th on the dealer booking List. Lets see when i get it.
About that thai bike forum, it seems like a fanboy site no doubt. 4 to 5 secs for 0 to 100 and bragging about top speeds etc

My expectation (based purely on my thinking and not half baked facts :-P )
0 - 100: Should be ~ 10 secs
Top Speed: ~ 160 max

Would be very happy if it can cruise at 90 kmph day long with 25kmpl + mileage, without a whimper and not lose its rear while taking corners on gravel mountain roads.

I just hope its comfortable for the pillion otherwise my wife will make me sell it off pretty quickly
