I'll wait til this weekend to see if they offer test rides atleast. If not, i'm cancelling the booking. Thats for sure.

But be a little more patient if you really want the CBR. Else all your wait this long would go worthless.

Hi all,

It's rather late but I just went to take a test ride of the baby ceeber. The showroom guy was more interested in riding my Ninja than giving me a test ride. Finally, I rode it and here is what I felt:

1. The initial pick-up is good, smooth gear shifts and smooth clutch operation.
2. The idling sound is just like the Unicorn.
3. When I pushed the bike, the throttle response was good but it sounded like a big bore Unicorn.
4. The quality of finish at the clip-on bars and the frame near the engine is not up to the mark. You can clearly see the welding joints there.
5. I rode the ABS version and braking was really spot on.
6. Overall, the bike felt smaller as compared to my Kwacker.
7. After riding the Honda, when I rode my Kawasaki, it seemed as if I was riding a 650cc or something. (no offense, just my feeling)

All in all, the Honda is a good sporty looking tourer but if you want a proper sport, spend a bit more and buy the Kwacker.

I liked this review and cbr lovers can rely on the experience what Dush has shared.

Really?? As Shivaprasad said, be a bit more patient. Else all your wait till now would go waste.

The kerb weight mentioned in the Honda India site is 167 kg.. And in the Honda Global site its mentioned as 359 lbs (=162.839 kg)..

So it seems in the honda India site, the weight mentioned is only for the C-ABS one and in the Global site for the STD one..

Probably the weight mentioned on Indian website is including Saree guard and number plates.

Can we have the names of these brokers? I think such black marketeers should be brought to Honda's notice and also to that of the press. I booked on the 1st of Jan in Mumbai and funnily enough, I don't even have any idea of when the dealer will receive the bike let alone delivery.

Jayna motors in Borivali and Atharva motors in malad....I heard that Jayna is having around 25 bikes in his godown....I booked CBR in Kandivali Honda shop in April 1st week..and dealer told me that i wil get my bike after 4 months....wtf....i m expecting from bajaj or yamaha to launch 250cc bike in next 4 months..then i may cancel my booking with honda (only if bajaj or yamaha's product is good).....

And since i have booked on 1st of mar I should get it in june. He also told me that after we call u if you dont show up in 2 days we will give your booking to someone else. I mean did he know what he was talking about. If I can wait for 3 months he cannot wait for 3 days.

Did you ride the bike

nope not yet....i have my dazzler ka service tomorrow....i will ask the ppl there if and when can i get a test ride of this awesome bike....the people at om sai honda mahim are a real pain in the neck so be careful(i say this from experience)....if you ever have any service related prob in the future contact mr anand...he is their service head in the mahim branch....just a tip

Finally got the test ride today

People here at Satnam Honda are very responsive, and treatment was great for the people who are booking CBR's. It was just like being a VIP there

.

I rode a non ABS one, and although i am not a pro at all, but still here is my review:
1. Smooth gearshifts and braking is good enough in non abs version.
2. Sound of exhaust is low enough.
3. Plastic quality of fairing and even tail side panels seems definitely low.
4. Fitting is ok for everything.
5. Pick up is ok ( probably i was expecting more

)

so overall good to go and i am getting it. Its still not officially launched in jaipur, but showroom manager confirmed me that they will deliver me bike within 15-20 days or earlier. They will call me today or tomorrow to confirm when i will get delivery.

According to him, they also got a mail from honda saying that there wont be any bikes coming from the factory for two months due to part availabilty problem..

That's exactly what he told me yesterday. I wanted to confirm the same thing from manager but he was not there in his cabin

Anyone else in Mumbai heard the same crap from other dealers

Pls confirm guys.

you can try sending mail to as many honda professionals as possible keeping in CC telling this. At least they will know that people are trying to open up the things.

You Cant Do Anything Against Jayna
Yes If Jayna Is saying they have 25 bikes they must be having
Jayna is a big name in Borivli
Bigger than Yammy or Bajaj showroom
