        Entered the showroom, representatives first word is 250R sir.? (my 8the visit).. Bike is in teir warehouse , display within 3-4 days,
        Astonishing news is , He askd me whether Im ready to buy mine next week (Havent made any booking or such yet), Even though a person has payed a Lakh already he is ready to give the first Bike.,tempted me tat he will arrange a function and news for newspaper as i'll be the first in teir showroom.,
        So I can get the CBR250 by nxt week itself.

        PS: I can Buy only after July as Ive many commitments til then. Damn. Anyway will do the test ride soon.

            Sudeep has already described what the test ride felt like and so have a few others here, so no point in saying the same thing over and over again.

            I'm cancelling my booking at Saphire's and heading over to Dream. Atleast my waitlist number will jump from 81 to 30s something
            Exactly the reason why I booked from Whitefield, when I stay in Jalahalli Its 35km away from my place! And yes, Sean over there is really helpful and nice, he keeps asking me opinion on the bike and I share all my xbhp knowledge with him and he gets damn impressed. Dump Sapphire come to Dream
            And do tell them Achin sent you, might just give me a commission :P

                Thanks for the info dude... will do a detailed PDI before it gets delivered.

                EDIT: guys.. is it possible that we in Bangalore try and group at the time of delivery of each bike.. I mean.. whenever someone's bike is getting delivered.. we can help each other out with the PDI. Will be easier to spot problems.

                the oil leak issue has been observed in some cbrs....
                since honda is nt able to meet demands they have increased the rate of manufacturing more than they can handle.....
                out of the 4 bikes we took on 4 my bike had dis problem....

                PS: while taking delivery check fuel guage and the bikes engine frm the gap below the radiator..try to feel the head and block...
                my head gasket had a leak
                also the fuel guage was malfunctioning and the fairing had some deep scratches due to mishandling in transportation...

                    Excellent review that! I agree with his thoughts on the windshield.

                    The windshield should have been further ahead and higher as he rightly says as I don't think the bike is gonna fare well at high speeds otherwise. Plus it looks wierd :P

                      Mine has its handle clip-ons misaligned. Also a clip from the front fairing is missing. Does seem like CBR's may have some quality issues...They have bitten more than they can chew

                      What was the issue with the fuel gauge?

                        so they will fix the problem for free right and what about the scratches, do u have any pictues.

                              Sure, although i am afraid i will get it in 20 days now, another story from dealer.

                              I called them up today and the who was going to tell me about delivery time or was even promising to give me a bike first, was on leave. I got the phone transferred to manager and

                              Manager: You will get bike in june end.
                              ME:2 days back you committed me for delivery in 20 days,
                              Manager (wid some current flowing in) :Have you booked the bike?
                              ME: Yes....!!! on 30th april, you forgot??
                              Manager: We are giving bikes to people who booked in jan - feb now
                              ME: But there are merely 2-3 booking before me in list.
                              Manager: Some technical problems with honda so deliveries are late, we wil call you when it come.
                              ME: WTF....

                              I will go to showroom on monday and again check the list. I am afraid they will play with it and going to call them every second day for bike... grrrr

                                Man, you got that thing offered just like that and you taking it, people are dying here to have one at any cost even after wait of decades ( i will consider a week as a decade if i am waiting for something )
