if u all know guys during the world cup our capt dhoni dint read the paper nor saw the news in the tv because to stop getting all the pressure and hype which will erode the team performance, so as it is i do say people dont get hyped by all these comments both good and bad,just ride your bike and enjoy it...

Woah!!! Awesomeness!!!
I'm very happy for you. Congratulations bro! and ya... Good Luck...

Inspect the bike properly and test drive it before you put your official ownership seal on it. All the best and am kind of envious as well.

Good luck aliyo!

Should have booked from Kerala too, lol. I had the choice to book from Blore, Chennai and Palakkad. Chose Chennai. THE worst place. sigh. A wait time of 7 months for me.

All the best bro

Got my bike delivered Today..
I dont have much time to make a decent length write up, right now..
This is my 10th bike in d past 10yrs.. ma last 3 bikes being ZMR, p180 and CBZ-Xtreme.. Have driven all bikes upto 250cc..
And to all those who have booked and the prospective buyers, i can tell u this is definitely worth the money and definitely a worthy upgrade from ZMR, 220 and R15..
As far as im concerned, the difference is there to be seen..
Dont go by the people who say here that it lacks punch or power or whatever..
And i find it quite ridiculous that its being compared to R15 and even p220..
R15 is great in its own respect but this is a step abov..
And even in the reviews its clear to be seen that its 4 secs quicker than R15 from 0-100.. and just a second slower than Ninja..!! (in both indian and US reviews)..Also most reviews say it handles better than Ninja.. the main thing is that Ninja is very exhilarating at the higher revs.. And CBR cant match it.. But come on, dont compare it with p220s and R15s...
The main thing is that it doesnt FEEL quick, tho it is really quick..
I haven crossed 80kph.. and haven taken it beyond 5k rpm... The Midrange Packs a mighty clean punch..!!
K thats it for now.. and al the prospective buyers, dont feel let down at all by the limited test drive reviews over here...
The bike is well worth the wait..

OT - Mine was one of the first deliveries in Kerala, and on my way back, a TVS RTR180 guy crashed (@ around 20kph) to the back of a Transport bus while staring at ma bike.!! I was really happy.. (Tho i felt sad for him..)

Hehehe, I should say thanks to you, for coming there and being there during payment time. Guess girls will never understand guys drooling over a parked mini-superbike.

I test rode it two days ago. I ride a P150. Compared to that, this baby blew me away. Really its a beast waiting to be owned and tamed. All the best for yours too.

Hey no probs buddy. I was waiting for this from last July when I was discussing with a set of bikers about prospective 250 launch in Thailand by Honda. And finally the wait is taking shape. I am sure the wait is worth it.

Thanks bro

Congo. For the Apache guy, well all I can say it, "The WAIT WAS WORTH IT" right?
Now go gear up and ride to some Vimala Convent college or pass by that area. See how many buses will stop


About the payment thing, well I could have got the bike by this Saturday, had I given full cash. But I decided to go by cheque, and hence the delay. I will be getting the bike on Tuesday by the latest. I just thought cheque was a safer option. Saphire Honda is ready with 5 bike delivery, if all of them pay cash(4 excluding me) they will get it by Saturday. I alone will get it by Tuesday. But no probs, waited a long time, another week, which is turning out to be the longest, will finally pass.

Expect a funny ownership review as always.

I am waiting for a test drive from Silicon still..they postponed it to Friday but even this is not sure. But I am being very patient to get this beauty.

Even my AGV K-3 arrived from US. I have covered and kept it aside .

undoubtedly --just rode a friends one--
r15 is more flickable & is & feels light --no competition to manoeuvrability
everything else true

R15s a 150cc machine with a delta box frame...even after 600+ posts people keep comparing it to the 150s.

Called up Mohseen. The test rides starts from Saturday.

Test rides will be in RV road silicon Honda.

As my booking number is 10, they shall call me for the payment only this month end. I am disappointed. I think I shall be getting my bike only in the month of June. That means my waiting period has crossed more than 5 months.

What a shame to HSMI for making their customers wait...

If Honda is trying to delay at this rate, I am sure they are going to loose their customers because Yamaha will be launching their 250's as well. I am sure they will be planned and target the Honda customers.

R15s a 150cc machine with a delta box frame. It should rather be compared to the CBZ, Hunk et al. Cant understand even after 600+ posts people keep comparing it to the 150s.

someone said :
judging a bike by it's cubic capacity is like judging a woman by the size of her bra

can someone tell me... how many teeth does the rear sprocket have??

Till I get my bike, I'm going to different dealers and get the test rides...

Dream Honda, Whitefield - Done on 06th May
