    how I missed this thread...... the design is awesome...... & it'll surely make its own market...... but the engine spec is letdown...... why a single cylinder 250cc...... and if they are localizing it, then why should it cross 1.5l...... just having Honda name and people are again going goo goo's & gaa gaa's all over the product...... looking beautiful is something & having a good performance is another......
    whatever, not my next bike......

      I am sure it'd better Ninja if we get the same specs as that of Thai make..
      Highly Unlikely. The 250 has(seems) to have a relaxed power-curve as compared to the 150R which is a screamer.

      The 250 should have a 9-10 seconds timing for 0-100km/hr sprint. A true top whack of 150km/hr is given and anything more should be considered as a bonus.

            It's not a speculation (which I anyways don't do atleast on forum ) ,but as I said it calls for a different day & different topic for discussion

              , this is definitely gonna be a dream come true for many bikers here provided they price it right. Anything around 1.5 L will be awesome.

                This aint be any fire breathing monster like the NINJA though, and might be producing its max horses at much lower 8500-9500 RPM area unlike the ninja's 11000.

                The stance looks perfect for the touring, its relaxed, the bike sports high ground clearance too.

                Things are getting intresting, as BAJAJ will now 'NOS' it's upgrade of the 220 or it might add the remaining 30CC's to it and will surprise us more.

                  It by no way looks like its elder CBR siblings.. and should be rightfully re-named the VFR 250. not the cbr.

                    Even if it is priced between 1.5 to 2 lacs.. it should out sell Ninja 250r easily!

                    The way I see it, the only thing that Ninja offers for a price tag of 2.8L over CBR is 2 cylinders & 33ps which might translate to 10-15kmph higher top speed and nothing more.. Ninja won't be a able to justify a price difference of approx 1 lac when it will come to handling, build quality and service plus the long waiting period that it comes with..

                      @Sarvajit - I don't see any reason why it should be costlier than the Thailand counterpart because it will be completely manufactured here. 1.5 Lakh on road and Honda has a clear winner in their hands
                      Amen! In our hands!

                      Giving us a reason to keep the bike huh?
                      I had expected price cut long back due to localization of components on the R15.
                      But that is one great bike for keeps.

                      Yes, but which name would help it sell more?

                      Couple of things here-Ninja is a twin cylinder&much more high revving than this CBR 250R. As for the price tag, Ninja is imported. If made here it would have costed much less-Simple!
                      But yes, at this kind of price tag, CBR 250R will appeal to most of us tourers.

                          When I'm in the market to buy a 250, I will not really pay about 1 lac extra for Ninja just because its imported & has a marginal performance boost!! What benefit would it give me as a buyer.. at this price, a 1 lac difference would literally mean 50 to 70% (depending on the final price announced) is it really worth. And Ninja is no track tool either, its relaxed ergonomics are targeted to commuters & tourers & its suspension is pretty basic too.

                              Well the CBR250R isnt here , so one would need to ride it to actually comment on the performance and handling. I agree that the 250R is much for VFM and will easily outsell the Ninja. But thats only because the Ninja isn't produced locally and imported. If you can knock off the 30-35% off Ninja's price the equation is a little fairer.

                              As to what the Ninja offers over the CBR,

                              1. Ninja might not be an out and out sportsbike, but it is a very able handler. Easily outclasses any other Indian bike, barring the R15.

                              2. Its a twin, significantly more powerful than the CBR. It being a twin means it will be more relaxed and is much quicker to the 100 and quarter-mile.

                              3. I would think the lights on the Ninja are better.

                              4. It has a higher range on a full tank of fuel than the CBR.

                              All of this just speculation until the bike actually arrives.

                                ^perfect... but intially with all hype Cbr250 will out sell ninja for sure and after few months only we know its real colour.
                                But surely if Yamaha launches it would be a twin...Ktm is also coming with a 250 next year so lot's of 250s...
