The CBR should be rightfully called the VFR 250!! I call it the CBFR 250

Look at these angles, definitely the under cowl, the rear side panels and grab rails and the curvy headlight. Definitely from the VFR. And why not. I guess primarily, the simple motive behind the CBRs development was to make a light and easy bike, which is frugal and easy to maintain. With rising fuel costs( these 5 years have really pushed fuel prices to the limit), congested & bad roads, maddening traffic, who would want to rip his superbike in such environs? So why not go back to the quarter liter class segment and create a single cylinder bike with technologies borrowed from various Honda departments? And thats why the VFR styled fairing for better aerodynamics, and a single cylinder good enough to rival most v-twins in terms of torque, handling and mileage( worth a consideration ). I guess this bike will do something akin to what the Karizma did back in '03. It was light and easy, good torque and served daily purposes really well, be it touring, commuting or even stunting. And the best part is the pricing, which has really got the sting back to Honda. Cant wait to see the blades on road now.

^^^ Awesome man!! nice!!

Excellent compilations Myg!!!
Hats off to your research skills!!!

Thank you once again!!!

Are you sure
Where did he see the BIKE, i mean which Area
does he have any pics

@Myg124 - EXCELLENT!!! That's a fair comparison you did

I must say, you got a skill to put photos to talk. Nice comparison there.
Now has any of you got any idea about the lighting power of this bike? Is it good enough? I was thinking of plonking some Projector and angel eyes, but then removing the cowl would create a problem. Was searching through thai forums for light modifications. And still my search for a rear seat cover continues. Local make is the only rescue I think.

Guys MYG124 is a Freelance Journalist

He definitely has skills. He is a great guy

Hats off buddy

Sorry for the OT.

BTW did anyone confirm that CBR in Bangalore Sticker Shop as told by BPRAGS?

Im guessing a na.. . .
but lets see...the bangalore ppl sure are being tested for the patience..

now VFR owners will feel let down! they may be mistaken for owning a cbr250!

The great HRC...

that's what my dealer said first.. but yesterday he said.. it is delayed to 28th

so can you check again tomorrow and see what he says ?

LOL yeah... i still dont understand why Honda could not have simply called it VFR250, instead of messing with the CBR "brand"

In India CBR is a very popular brand name for a premium bike anybody who does not know anything about SBK's will tell you Hrithik drove it in KNPH. Also Honda are betting very big on this bike cause their sales expectations for this bike are way more than any competitor has seen in that kind of segment i.e. R15 and CL 500. In Raipur particularly there is a hoarding of the Ceeber in almost every busy road.

I am sorry Shiva, I can't agree with you because it is still a picture and I would like to see it in real.

Just a few more days...

I hope he didn't see the poster of a CBR in the sticker shop. Just kidding..

Thanks for the info buddy.

Can you try to get the name of the place where he got to see this bike?

+anything for this one. The tag CBR raises one's expectations of the bike and the bike hardly living up to the CBR name is at the same time disappointing. If I buy it, to me it will be a baby VFR, to onlookers, it is a CBR
