Some worthy stuff. Thanks mate

No Probs Dude :P

I already said that but thanks for bringing it to peoples NOTICE

LOL...
You got me there. I should've mentioned clearly V = V4. Anyways, others have done that.

agree......................

But the seat cover must be good also for a premium bike. Jus kidding @saurabh81 chill bro... we all accepted your statements
At the time we heard about the Honda's CBR250 me also thought it to a sibling of the the BIG RR's(read like the R15)... But now i think Honda has also accepted the fact that it should have been named VFR not CBR. I think that was @sivaprasad was trying to tell.
@sivaprasad, come to reality man, we have got a descent piece of machine to rejoice. Forget about the naming, now its clear na

after my test ride, i am quiet sure you will forget the fuss..

One more thing i would share is.. I basically have riden pulsars and yamahas.. Which are known for giving the adrenaline feeling.. And yes they were fast.. But they also felt fast.. Then, one day i happened to ride a unicorn.. And my first impression was very negative.. I dint feel the bike.. It felt almost silent and thus the ride wasnt fun.. As i was used to.. But when i rode it the 2nd time.. Then the third time.. I just started loving it.. I could feel it being fast just by judging the other bikes on road.. At 90kmph.. The unicorn is much more silent than my p180.. Mean to say is, yes, it lacked the fast feeling.. But still was fast..(not a actual camparo of specs) And ultra smooth compared to pulsars.. And typically, all hondas are so.. the reason i mentioned it here is.. I have seen lot of people feeling the same when they switch to a unicorn from pulsar or so.. And that may be a reason some found the "Feel" lacking in CBR..

All again IMO.. I am no expert.. just a "biker next door"..

All duly considered!

+1.. in fact VFR would have been a misnomer considering that this is a single cylinder.

I dont think it will make any difference.. If that was the case, 90% of the indian cars would be parked during rains. None of them have any kind of protection or covering under the bonnet from where muck and dirt are splashed on to the engine as well as other parts.

Just called up the Honda Regional Manager, South India, Bangalore. Gave him a piece of my mind. The bikes are there in most of the showrooms. My showroom people are saying that it is delayed because there is some official launch yet to happen all over Bangalore. I was pissed off, for some marketing gimmick, they are delaying the delivery of bikes that are already there in the warehouse.
Called up Honda centre at Bangalore, asked for the manager. He left it seems, so I called up the regional manager. The reason?
1. They got the RTO Approval only yesterday.
2. Now they have given for registration.
3. Launch is scheduled for this weekend.
4. Deliveries will start only by next week.

I was furious and started bashing him, talking about interest that Honda has accumulated over the deposit amount. Also said when delivery would commence, and to stop the crap about launch to me, for me what matters is my bike.
Guy started apologising. I just don't understand. What was the Honda South India doing when they knew such delays were evident, RTO thing is nothing new for them. How come they were not prepared for this? I would never ever suggest any person to buy Honda products, unless if its a CBR. Quality is important, but not over making a customer a complete fool.

Naice Job bro...Naice job....give his number to me too...i'll also give a piece of my mind

Good.. give us the numbers too. At least a few other people can call him and let him know that Honda is testing our patience. Even if they want people to wait for 5 months.. let them give a clear date atleast. This is like shooting in the dark where we get a new date every week only to get another new date next week.

I am thinking about the after sales.. if this is how we are treated before delivery of the bike.. i dont know how honda will treat us once the bike is delivered and the payment is made.

The guy's name is Manjunath. His number is (0)-nine-six-1-1-1-two-four-2-six-8.
Based out of Bangalore Regional Office for Honda.
But before that I suggest you guys call up Honda center as per this page.

Thats a very fine post and especially required in this thread. Some people never get it.

Wow Good job!!.. Please share the phone number so that others can join in the fun too
Edit - Just saw the phone number in the above post thx!!

I am in touch with Demello's boss - Mr. Gosavi. Everyone is the same... Let's c.. He's told me that he'll try to give me my bike "at the earliest" if i make the payment right away...
