Any idea about test ride for folks who haven't booked the bike.

That should be possible if you request him. I believe they'll be opening test drives for every one once the deliveries start in full swing.

weird.

They look good to me, not the best but presentable and they are pretty usefull unlike the ones on my pulsar 220.

One thing I observed was the panel gaps on either side of the rear seat. I guess that should be taken care of with a cowl. (I guess)

Over all the bike looks good.

Live from Hyderabad : Bikes have reached most of the dealers and are being displayed. Pratul honda somajiguda got 8 bikes among which 3 are C-ABS red and the rest are a combitnation of red and black non abs mdels. Red ABS will be on display in some time. Test drives will also be given provided you have already booked the bike :P I do have some pics but already there are loads of pics in this thread so never mind.

Met an xbhp member ajay at pratul. Nice meeting you dude.

Initial report :
Bike looks like a scaled down VFR.
speedo looks tiny yet elegant.
Wheels look huge, These contribute a lot in making the bike a looker.
Headlights are pretty powerful.
Space under the seat is good.
Plastics are of good quality but the fitment could have been better.
the gear and brake levers are mounted high, Which I personally dint feel comfortable. (Maybe because I'm used to my 220)

Test drives were going to start in an hour but was getting late to work so had to rush. Also I was there through out the pdi being done by a professional who came from the plant. Saree guard is an optionla fitment and comes along with the bike. My dealer said he wont fit it If I dont want it to be fitted. ( I sure will get the guard home cause it can be used a grill

)

The ABS indicator on the console was ON through out the pdi. When asked, the guy said it should be on untill you cross 10 kmph.
Engine oil quantity for an oil change is 1.1L and over all capacity is 1.4 ltrs.

He also told me to make sure the fuel is always above 3.2 ltr because if it goes under 3.2 (that's reserve) there might be a possibility of air gap.
Never get your bike washed outside as the high pressure gun will messup the naked sensors on the engine and which are thrown all over the engine.

Thanks for the update bro !
Lets see if the bike lands at Kondapur tomorrow so that I can go and have a look in my office hours

Btw, for all the guys who suddenly started to feel that Silver looks way better, the reason is that all of us are habituated to seeing a lot of pics of red and black CBR's hence a look at Silver makes you feel like that

Ppl who are planning for some minor paint jobs on the Black, below is an easy and awesome option

Honda CBR250R launched,Price updated in Honda2wheeler Official website

It will dude.. I guess the bike is already there in their yard. Put some pressure on them and you'll get to see the bike for sure.

it probably looks more aggressive because the bike in the picture has no indicators and rear number plate

I did not ask him only man, I have read so many things in these 5000 posts that I know exactly what I will feel when I ride it. Weird but true. But that guy said next week onwards. So you should enquire by next tueday.

Also, if you guys have not checked it yet, and we have already had loads of wars for CBR250R Vs Ninja 250, I think we can all carry our opinions and views on this-

i guess delivery of the bike has started in mumbai, saw one 20 - 21 year old guy riding CBR 250R at carter road accompanied by a comet.

Yeah dude, Finally. Pratul guys are pretty serious about the CBR. I could see that in their faces when the PDI guy from the plant was training them. The manager was also there and was insisting the sales guys on giving the customers a sheet with DO's and DONT's with the bike.

**Guest** · 04-29-2011, 02:17 AM

This wait is very annoying at times

over 7 months since I first heard about this bike. Should get it in May, lets see. Anyways, here are some new cool videos

PS. Although the redline is at 10,500 RPM, but the bike can rev upto almost 11,000 RPM

Stock Engine Sound

YouTube - CBR250R Exhaust Sound

MUGEN Exhaust, Doesn't sound very loud which is good (for me)

YouTube - CBR250R???????

Stock Exhaust

YouTube - CBR250R??????

Awesome Dyno run with WR'S exhaust and Top Speed of 182 km/h on Dyno, this speed can be less on road though. Watch in 720p HD

YouTube - CBR250??WR'S????????

The Big Cat

Do you think there is some uncanny resemblance? well no surprise where the inspiration came from..
Im gonna add a couple strands of strategically cutout thin strips of stickers on the nose.

I think instead of the convex surface, the nose part should have projected out a little bit leaving the eyes to give a real 3D look of a big cat
