Do dealers actually take full cash like this? I mean dont we give cheques or DD's for such a large amount? Maybe Ninja owners can throw some light in this perspective?

[/B]Should be a good four months if you speak of it fairly. But if you have contacts, man, you can get in the first lot itself. But the chances are rare, and if you ask me, its unfair right? You are taking away someone's long awaited dream. Four months should be the waiting period.

Why not? They take full cash..I gave 75K whole cash for my FZ (2 years back)..Cash is much more faster than Cheque or DD.

LOL!! That reminds me the very long followed way of locking my RXZ!! i just use a ordinary lock in the holes of my disc brake.. as it doesn't have a handle lock (modified)!!

Delivery date of 20th April sounds cool!! But 9 bikes in a lot isnt fair

I am 10th in the showroom

Well, even i am waiting for the call.. (Cant concentrate on studies and exam next month

)

Back to CBR, I am thinking seriously about the juggat, also thinking of getting a paddock stand done locally. If I get it successfully done, I don't mind sharing the same with rest of our members... Atleast it would be cheap.

Wish you good luck then!! Thank God my girl understands me, safety and my love for bikes and enjoying both of them together..
I too think of getting the Paddock custom made if it costs >5k as on Rjays site..

Guys complaining about the indicators on CBR to be similar on stunner or unicorn can check the actual indicators on the Thailand model.. I found them same.. Then why will they change it on the Indian CBR?? And the mirrors are same too.. (Correct me if wrong)

Indian CBR

Thai CBR

@Princesirohi: Biscuit isnt a girl here

(here biscuit=goal

Something about the CBR

Hi Guys!!!

Short Intro: I am an Vehicle Stability & Brakes testing engineer at honda cars.

Just got in touch with a buddy of mine at HMSI who does Homologation testing for HMSI bikes.
He drove the CBR for about 2 months at VRDE pune.
He did a maximum speed of 148Km/h, without any difficulty. There is no vibration trouble from the couling, the brakes are more then sufficient for the bike.

The mileage was found out to be around 37Km/h during testing so he said it would be around 32~33 Km/l during street driving.

The bike with the C link ABS is totally worth it if u like to take the things to the edge. But for regular drivers ABS wouldn't affect that much.

Also I talked to a designer at Honda R&D, he mentioned the ABS was mainly meant for the heavier bikes. Since the CBR is not a heavy bike so it should be fine without the ABS.

The petrol to used with the CBR would be the High Octane one.

The lights are superb, good enough visibility in the darkest nights.

I hope you find something useful from comment.

I am booking my CBR on 8thr April. Cheeers!!!!

But I am still confused about The Devilish Red ...or ...The Haunted Black.

Man!! Are you? Then you are a person worth trusting!!! Thanks a lot for the Inputs..

But now that makes me worry!!

High Octane???

Any idea of consequences if normal petrol used?? And what is the recommended rated fuel?? 91 Octane??

Congrats on your booking! (Can you get your bike early with your JACK in Honda??

)
Go with the Colour that appeals you.. but i avoid black as scratches are more visible..IMO

I booked mine on Jan 01-2011 (2nd guy) in the above show room. I am yet to get a call from them and yet to see the bike.

Dear Maniac,
Im not the engine guy so coudnt tell u the details, but from wht I know CBR has a compression ratio more then 10 that is the reason why there would be premature detonation of the fuel, resulting in pinking
( or knocking) so i guess it better if u use whts recommended unless absolutely necessary.

And Yeah I have a HONDA jack...would get a early delivery !!!!!!!!

A very informative first post! Any opinion on the handling? How well has Honda done to adjust the bike to Indian roads and conditions?
Mileage figures are indeed impressive! That's almost equal to what my CBZ gives me..

Anyway, I reckon get a Red bike! Can't go wrong with the colour

And Good to know you will get the bike early! Lucky Man!!

Petrol for CBR

First of all, Hi everyone... This is my first post, although I have been very closely following this particular thread for a very long time now.

What I have observed is that, although the question has been answered many a times, there is still ambiguity regarding the Octane rating of the fuel to be used in the CBR250R. In this regard, I felt it was necessary that I intervene and clear the air once and for all (hopefully).

Thing is this, after the BS3 norms have been implemented in the country,(April1st 2010) all the petrol bunks are mandated to adhere to these norms. And it clearly states within that , they will have to serve 91 OCTANE PETROL . Infact the BS2 fuels ,87 octane are no longer available in the country. You can check the authenticity of the information on any of the manufacturers websites, i.e IOCL or BPCL or HP or BP.

Although I knew this, I wanted to be absolutely sure before posting it here, so I called up a couple of my friends, one of whom works for IOCL and one who works for BPCL,(both very high up the food chain) confirmed me that all the petrol in the so called, normal bunks for us (i.e those excluding Shell and Reliance) is indeed 91 Octane Petrol.

Bottomline, Have no inhibitions to get your bike refueled at any station.

P.S:- I booked my bike on Feb 2nd from Kun Honda Adyar..
