+100 to your point on decision making.
On the booking amount, check back a few pages where one guy cancelled the booking and got full amount refund because to him R15 was superior to CBR :P

@Rossiter - Now you put your review in the First Impression thread. Will be much more helpful for everyone

I will wait till my P220 falls apart and then will decide, at that point if there is no other bike then I might go for CBR250

Front mud guard and silencer too!

Wow... You are too lucky. looks too hot.

Expecting your review soon!

Good to see the bike on the roads now with many test rides for members.

In Hyderabad, we do not have the luck yet to see this beauty. Four bikes have arrived to Hyderabad long back, but they are not on display yet. I do not understand what would they get by wrapping them and concealing them in the godown.

I can see some dents in the silencer!

Hi to all fellow XBHP ians

Finally took the plunge (XBHP posting) after silently following this thread since January when I booked my CBR..

This thread is so addictive that I cant help being out of it..And so is our BabyCBR..

I have booked mine on 4th jan as the dealer here opened booking with this a Red ABS. Mine was only 2nd booking and 1st and 3rd bookings are of my friends only here in Nasik.. But my dealer hasnt been alloted any bikes til now and after calling up regional manager in Pune they are telling May 15th for the deliveries and that too is tentative date..All of you are lucky out there who have experienced CBR atleast in dealerships. Sent a mail to regional manager in protest and still awaiting reply..In all my friends and cousin we have 6 CBRs booked here itself. And 2 will decide after test ride

Guys 1 bright Idea regarding saree guards..As 90 % of us will anyhow remove it as soon as we get our CBR .So lets just send all of them back to the factory and ask Honda to Utilise funds from this to atleast hire some good desingners for R & D purpose over here in India..Just a thought..LOL

Last but not least in any ways
My things to do on my Red CBR
1- Remove Saree Gate n nos plate
2- Install Xenon Headlight Kit which is already purchased 3month back
3- Intall LEDS in city driving lights/parking lights
4- Change silencer cover guard to carbon fibre if i can get it at a reasonable price
5- Get my MS logo on the windshield as i am a Die hard Michael Schumacher fan.
EDIT on a second thought
6- Install (RVM) mirrors from Fazer if possible coz it looks much more stylish
Any Suggestions are welcome.

@all
got a call (acutally i called) the rep at the showroom and asked him to book the bike.the showroom will recv 2 red and 5 silver bikes...my booking no was 14 so i told him to block the bike.
initially i had booked the black color but silver looks awsum and i wanted to change my bookin..
feeling blessed..
dudes goin to pay for silver std tomorrow....

No dude no greasing of any palms.I'll tell you sumthing I know many of Honda showrooms and Pilot honda is one of the most genuine of the Honda dealers. Am sure ull get it soon buddy.I no how the wait feels but be rest assured the wait would be worth it:-)

Damn can't wait for my CBR to arrive after looking at all these pics.

Very True, heres another interesting thing that happened today. I was waiting for my test ride and 2 guys entered for testing the cbr however they had not booked the bike and here they are providing test ride only to people who have booked. so even without the ride they concluded that ninja is many times better than this and left.

Mine says refundable within only 30 days of booking the bike.

@sid-brute: dude, so you mean nasik will have a cbr only after 15th may!! I stay in mumbai but study in nasik.. I think i will get my cbr in next week in mumbai.. And i will come to nasik 2-3days after that.. So just be in touch and you can have a glimpse of it before it comes in showrooms..

I got a call from my dealer today.

I am getting my cbr tomorrow. Ive already paid, submitted documents and everything.

My booking was second.

I am excited.
