ABS would be optional, i guess!!

@Neo - Thanks for posting the images. Somehow internet is playing funny at my end

Sounds/Looks Yummm on paper!

But still need info on Number of cylinders and engine out to really make any 'decision'

Alas, still awaiting a nice 'practical' naked street bike to be launched in a similar configuration.

Great news. If under 1.5 lakh, this could be my 2nd ride.

Its a single cylinder Praful uncle

wow..!! that awesome stuff.

Official Press release - Honda Motorcycles

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (Pvt.) Ltd. will also start production of the CBR250R next spring and extend sales from India to South America. Honda will also offer the CBR250R at a more affordable price in the diversified Indian motorcycle market by effectively carrying out global procurement of parts and materials in the same way as Thai Honda.
The CBR250R is equipped with a newly-developed liquid-cooled 250cc 4-stroke 4-valve single-cylinder DOHC engine that is easy to handle. High environmental performance that meets Euro 3 emission standards and Thailand's sixth emission standards was realized by adopting an electronically controlled fuel injection system (PGM-FI*1) as well as an O2 sensor and taking advantage of the combined effect with a catalyzer fitted inside the exhaust pipe.
The full-cowl body presents a highly advanced design full of functional beauty. The light and compact frame, made of a highly-rigid diamond shape in a truss structure, offers agile handling and steady maneuverability as a sports model, while the cowl design enables optimal control of the wind toward the engine or the rider.
In the area of safety technology, the CBR250R's specifications incorporate Combined ABS, a world first*2 for a 250cc-class road sports model into a designated type. The Combined ABS makes vehicle movements more stable during braking by bringing together a Combined Brake System (CBS, a front- and rear-wheel interlocking braking system) and an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS, a braking system that prevents wheel lock during sudden braking or under unfavorable conditions).

Will Ground clearance change for Indian version? I think it too low for India road.

Yes, Fuel Tank capacity is too low but I read some where thet Fuel economy will around 50 KMPL in standard condition ( I hope)

50 kmpl? Not a chance. Even under standard test conditions.

Finally Great News...Should start searching for buyers for my ZMA

hmm from official press relese it's evident that HMSI sold more vehicles compared to Honda in Thailand...
