Move this biking related but non cbr related discussion to the pune thread.Originally posted by antz.bin View PostAnd thats why I wrote 'to empty'. We were riding with captain slow
.. the one and only Toadzilla whose speedo error ridden FZ was struggling to do a speedo indicated 100. And for more fuel saving tips.. contact Hyperion.
P.S.: there was just a 10% difference in the amount of fuel we filled up. and by my calculations, my p220 gave me 35 kmpl consolidated on the trip. Do the math buddy.
P.P.S.: I have no idea how Toadzilla's FZ was less fuel efficient than the ninja. But.. it was. On day 2, we were toying with the idea of going back to pune on a single tank from goa. and the only 3 bikes hopeful of making it were the RTR, the P220 and the Ninja.
ToadZilla was probably updating while on idle.. (A badly maintained FZ is a economic disaster!)

Anyhow, So much comment on the single cylinder. Personally, I happen to like the single. If I'm in the market for twin cylinder, the Ninja 250 is already available. The price is simply unreachable for many. Including me. The CBR250 if at all launched in twin cylinder, I have no doubt, the price will be in the Ninja region. So for guys like me, there will be very little the CBR250 will excite.
The single being launched "primarily" for the asian market is with a good reason. Affordability.Honda need not show their prowess like trying to beat the Ninja 250. Their technology is amply demonstrated in motoGp. They want to sell. And I think they may have a winner in CBR 250 if the price is within whats already being discussed.Comment

Now that everyone has gawked, drooled and beaten off to the pics and videos of the CBR250R I guess the most important points are:
1. Spares - Honda's apathy towards stocking spares is appalling
2. Service - The only time my bike enters a Honda service center is when it is brought there for PDI. Once it leaves in my hands it NEVER goes back again. This is the image they have created and they really are rubbish when it comes to service!
Speculation about price, power figures etc. is all fine and dandy when you have the rest of your bases covered. I wouldn't pay a lakh and a half only to find that I have to do the wrenching on my own if I want a reliable bike...well I don't mind but there are many here who have the mechanical ability of a geriatric donkey on crystal-meth. You know who you are
SO are we going to see commitment from Honda in terms of service centers that can handle these bikes. Even the CBU service leaves a lot to be desired (I think Tenhut can comment on this). Will the CBU mechs handle the CBR as a premium product as well?
Probiking seems to be doing a great job with the Ninja servicing...quite contrary to my initial expectations. I hope Honda turns out like that as well.
Anyway - Block-booking for Xbhp buyers might get us discounts...lets try and figure something out

Hows it going? Long time.

Whats the point of Honda bringing in a twin when the vast majority of its target segment wont be able to afford it, neither in Thailand nor in India! At 1.5 lakhs this bike is a lot of bang for your buck!
Those who can afford a 3 lakh twin cylinder 250cc already have the Ninja 250R or will be getting it whenever they want it! Honda would be betting on a lot of potential Ninja and R-15 buyers to jump into this middle boat, where you get bit of both worlds

I agree... There is a big gap between the R15/ZMR and the Ninja.... And a Ninja turns out to be too expensive for most bikers to upgrade to... Honda will definetely sell more bikes if its a cheaper single than an expensive twin...Originally posted by kaynmantis View Post
I want to upgrade... But cant afford the Ninja 
I like 'em Naked
Blah Blah Blah!

Riding is a way of life. Sometimes, it might also be a way of giving life. So Ride safe. In both contexts.Comment

well.... .as a potential R15 buyer.... I'll give it a second thought if this beauty comes to India within that price range..If it does , it would simply be irresistible...

Honda can count me as a strong potential buyer of the bike as soon as it is launched if i can ride it away paying less than
1.25-1.5L. Really this is the price if you have to sell volumes in India.
And I can see no reason why Honda cannot sell the at this price and still make good profits. (Perhaps a 25% margin as is the norm with premium class in India).
At this price the Red will defy green, blue and whatever colours are presnt in Indian biking canvas very easily. After all 'you meet nice people on a Honda'
