  • Baby Ceeber

    Afterall, its a Baby Ceeber for sure.

    The Americans and the Europeans say the bike is second to none is the city, whereas on the highway, the competion 'slightly' betters it because of the extra cylinder and extra bhp, well they're right on their part, because they're talking about highway speeds of a 95 to 100mph. In India, that's way too much, we're talking about a 120km's per hour on our roads which is more than enough I believe. The Ceeber is made for the Indian roads and conditions, I bet the softer suspension and better riding aesthetics would make a big difference in India, n even being a wee bit smaller than it's competition, the Ceeber in reviews is rated as being far more comfortable and accomodating.

    So no more comparisons please. This thread belongs to the CBR, let it be, let people know about the features and the good stuff of the bike. Once the bike is out, there'll be a review to point out the stuff...........

    Thank You all............

      • Another video .. Ninja 250r VS CBR 250R.. A mind and brain game..

        • Enough of these comparisons. You guys are completely spoiling the fun of people who are
          awaiting their steeds ever so anxiously. Can I politely ask folks to stick with the CBR please.

          Dont hijack this really going strong thread. CBR folks, come on, I need some support.

          My take on that video, the guys been handsomely paid by Kawasaki. No wonder hes praising the Ninja by saying the cbr doesnt look exciting. I mean what the ****!! If Honda had given a v-twin to the CBR then it would really have been a fair comparo. Ninja should rather be pitted against the Hyosung 250gt for a fair result. Anyway people abroad got good roads, they can do high speeds, which is why that extra cylinder seems better, and most of the times, they sell off their bikes by around 10-20,000 kms. Here, its the other way round. Thats why the Ninja is a logical winner for them, rightly so, cant blame them.

          Anyway, the Ninja with the dated console, looks boring. Whos got time to spare second thoughts. Add to that its expensive spares. When you are comparing bikes you ought to see all these factors.

          I will keep it straight. Get both the bikes together and bring in a novice. Immediately he will be astride the CBR. Bring in an expert rider, will seriously think of the Ninja, but will consider after sales and service. May even go for it, but theres something about Honda which will attract him and may as well buy it. If not, he will fall back on saving up for the bigger steeds. Wise! Some people have already decided about it. Fair and practical enough.

          I guess Sid may be the first one to get his baby here. This is going to be fun. Bring it on sid. Awaiting your initial ride feedback mate. Congrats once again

            One more thing, after seeing the bike in flesh and boold, I had no hesitation in issuing the cheque for the remaining amount. They said that since mine will be the first delivery from their dealership, Honda guys may be handing over the keys. All excited.

            Cheers, Sid
            The pics are fan-a-tastique! good work there man! And congratulations on being the first guy who will get the bike!

            P.S.: IMO, in all the pics, right from the beginning till these freshly posted ones, the bike looks stunning, period! To hell with what people say, she's a beauty and she will remain one for me! :P No offense intended though...
            And the wait is killing me now.. :-|

                and,
                The calculations are wrong. Doesnt matter if its abs or non-abs (which you dint mention) they are still wrong. No offence intended.. But for non-abs.. The downpayment is 53xxx and the installments taking that dp are 4226x36 or 5824x24.
                And for abs the dp is 64k with 6850x24 or 4941x36. All about mumbai.. I know your prices are approximate but all three dont match.. I have received the quotation from 4 dealers and have thoroughly calculated all the finance options..
                i and vineet had posted the pics of the silver one a few pages back.. Have a look.. Or you can visit the kandivali showroom to see it in flesh! Where in mumbai are you from?
                Each of the number mentioned there has been prefixed with an approx symbol. I live in Jogeshwari and the jogeshwari showroom guys are least said clueless about whats happening. The figures were app quoted by manager and thats what i posted.

                thanks for the pic in silver color. i was talking abt ABS version. and is the silver color model on display in kandivali showroom?

                    Not at all. You dont have to worry about this. Cops wont look for this.

                    • @bprags: Hey, where's this bike from? Thailand?
                      then how come it has the front number plate holder attached?

                      • I see a lot of guys here who have booked the CBR but have most probably not updated their information in this sheet.
                        Guys please do the needful.

                          The saree guard (sorry, read the saree 'gate') alone should weigh much!! it is made of very think rods

                          • Does anyone know if frame sliders are available for the baby Ceeber?? It's extremely important to fix one in bangalore as people have the habit of leaning and sitting on the bike when its parked. A damaged fairing might be difficult to replace because on non availablility.. and will be costly too.

                            • Wow 400 + pages for a bike that hasnt even hit the roads After reading motor-psycle's post a question popped into my mind, does the bike come with a centre stand / does Honda offer a centre stand as an option? It would really make the bike easier to live with.
