    Not really, we have kits (Blessed by Joel), that gives us bragging rights, so we can take care of CBR250 any time we want /Acting like a teen isss fun....

      Will you kill Joel if he makes a bragging kit for the CBR250R somewhere down the line ?

        the reliability of the honda though is unmatched.

          Are you a frequent track-raider?

          If not, then you are not having fun on your R15(as mentioned by you in bolds)

          You are comparing a 17PS bike to the one which has 100ccs more and 9 extra ponies and not to mention a DOHC setup. For supposedly 50k more than the ex-showroom price of the R15, i see the CBR as a better VFM package for something which has been built from ground-up and is not based on something else. And about the performance/handling part we will have to wait for the comprehensive road tests/reviews by magazines/xBhpians until we jump the gun.

          All i can see is this bike sending tremors in the Indian premium biking scene(if et all it's priced at 1.5 lakhs!!)

                  if launched at 1.5lakhs, how will this affect the ktm125. If I were bajaj I would drop the 125 and get a 250 instead and launch it at a slight premium to the cbr

                    BAJAJ, TVS,SUZUKI,YAMAHA all will have sleepness night if this thing actually lands with 1.5lakh tag.

                    NINJA is in diff league alltogether, a NINJA rider will NEVER feel the HONDA's 250 'see see's' like the way NINJA makes him feel.

                      So what.. as far as affordable performance is concerned Bajaj and TVS are in a different league altogether too.

                      Anyway its a good bike and it will sell.

                      Here's to more exciting bikes to come up..

                              So its going to have Continental Tyres and not MRF

                              Speaking of rubber, the bike will be sold in India on Continental tyres and not the IRC ones that we sampled.
