Buddy I clearly said that "if the news is true" about HONDA accepting the quality issues.

And if we can not believe the words of a fellow "anonymous" Xbhpian (which we should not be until a trusted source is there) then we can not believe your words as well about the 20K issue with the engine probelm because there is no source except an anonymous person

Anyways on a more serious note we should wait and watch as now few of the xbhpians are getting hold of there bikes and we certainly can expect some nice reviews coming in.

Dude i believe you read less and reply earliest. I already said that neither i believe your source who came up with "honda is making quality better" and neither i believed that xyz person who told me about 20 k issue. Even i am sayin same thing to people that not to believe on any news without something official from honda comes out.

And yes, your serious note is better than your news . Lets wait n watch.

Is it?? then you must be knowing that the news of HONDA realising the issue with quality was not stated by me Kindly scroll few pages back to check it "read less and reply earliest" lol, it seems some people do read less and reply at the earliest

I just said that even if HONDA has realized the issues they will never come out with an official statement.

Anyways my apologies to you if I have offended you

Yea and the 3.2L car will be smoked out by the bike in 1st gear!!!
Stop stop stop!!! Stop all these comparison guys!!! PLEASE help keep this thread on C250R clean.

LOL. Which car for 3.2 lacs? The Alto K10? Even with a 10 second head start the alto would lose hands down.

Many of my friends also have asked the same thing - "Why don't to buy a car, than spending 1.7L on a bike?"
And I reply exactly the same thing.

When they can ask like this for a 1.7L bike, I can understand how it's for you when people talk to you about your purchase.

Lol. One of my friends has a comet GT250 and when asked for the price he said 80k to avoid such conversation and comparisons.

The other party was quick to respond and quipped, you'll get a second hand omni for that price.

Forget about cars, when i stopped by at some village during one of my rides, one person told me that i was mad to spend so much on a bike. For this much money i could have bought a site in his village.

3.2L, why take a brand new car
BTW, let me clarify, the 1st gear I referred was the 1st gear of N250R & not the car.

I knw thts not you who opened up this news, but you was the only one following it like anything. Isn't it?

Well whatever the thing is, nothing as sorry in this, we were just discussing . BDW what's your point, should i get a CBR or NINJA? I really dont like waiting a lot...If you have gone through some of my posts, you may have an idea what i am thinking all about...

Buddy my guess is as good as yours

My personal opinion is that if you have the moolah (spare part cost included) which I think you have then certainly do go for NINJA but if you have cost constraints then wait for the CBR. Now it seems that the waiting period for both the bikes will be same so that should not be a hindrance (CBR might take more time in some cases ).

Listen to your heart and go for the bike you love afterall you will be the best judge as you are the person who has to live with your decison.

P.S: Just saw a black CBR in my office and the bike looks amazing

You are going to buy one, right???

Actually i am struck with same things as some other people here also. I booked CBR soon enough and than quality issues came up and i changed my mind for a NINJA. Now here are three issues creating problem for me:

1. CBR despite of all issues, attracts me at d end and it seems, for short term i can fulfill my requirement of a superbike and later because of its low cost i can easily buy a superbike or a SUV.
2. Ninja, heavy cost and still not a complete superbike. Isn't better i should wait for some time more and buy a R1, actual superbike, than investing 3L in this. OR i can feel enough satisfied riding this and leave the though of super bike finally.
3. Leaving all behind, stay with my present one and get a new SUV after some months wait. Friends and parents are in support of this only but its tough to control myself from buying atleast one new good bike this time.

Any suggestions, should i go for voting ..... Although dil to baccha and if i will allow my heart to do its own... Ninja or CBR anything can be standing in my garage within a week....depends on mood that time ...

Thank God nobody has asked prospective CBR owners to buy NANO

Many of my friends also have asked the same thing - "Why don't to buy a car, than spending 1.7L on a bike?"
And I reply exactly the same thing.

When they can ask like this for a 1.7L bike, I can understand how it's for you when people talk to you about your purchase.

Well, every one asks me to buy the nano rather than this bike. I dont comment back. I know they will say, great bike, when they see it in flesh. Till then I remain silent, the last laugh I know will be mine.

I am that unlucky chap

What makes you think the liter bike will be any cheaper than the ninja to own and maintain? (Not intending to be rude, please dont take offence).

AFAIK, Yamaha charges 4k for labor alone during regular service. This I heard first hand from an R1 owner who is also a member here.

Its not just buying and riding but maintaining to pristine levels that cost an arm, a leg, a kidney and a lung when it comes to liter bikes.

Also the bigger bikes will get more attention, deliver lesser miles per gallon, cost a gazzillion amount to maintain, service and ride, and if you crash, you might not be able to ride again, let alone spend a bomb on repairing it and riding it again. And of course, you obviously can't tour with it like you would on a CBR or a ninja. After spending a year with my ninja and over 12000 kms later i feel this bike is best for our highways. Anything over this is an overkill and the risk multiplies. You can whack the throttle open, perform mid corner corrections, ride at the seat of your pants etc. which is very forgiving on the 250 but anything above and its a disaster in the making.

That said, please chase your dreams... take my view with a pinch of salt.

Incidentally when i took delivery of my ninja and went to tank up, the petrol bunk attendant said the very same thing to me. 3 lacs for a bike? You could have bought a car for that money. I replied that a car wouldn't go this fast for the same amount of money and of course the fun factor would be, well, non existent.

C
You are paying as much as you would for a car. You can buy a new car for 3.2 lacs.

Any news chennaiiiiiiiiiiiii ????

Apparently, there is going to be a small launch scheduled in chennai, at the month end. Deliveries will only start after that is what I was told. This information is from Kun Honda and Pratham Honda Kanchipuram. For once, both said the same thing...
