All i understood was.. he has a "greed" for power, got pissed off with no clear dates in CBR delivery and Rage-Booked GT650r just to "in yo face" the dealers and the only reason he booked GT650r is because he will keep it for 3 to 4 years. I got completly lost in the last line.

It Looked so much better to me than the old one except for the rear hugger.. Ofcourse looks are subjective. Thank god the Cycle tyre is replaced..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

LOL.found that funny. I think the wait is messing up my brain. Anyways here's one "aye" for those who took the local train to travel 15 KM and booked on jan first with a dealer who has no clue whatsover on how he spent my hard earned five grand and is making me wait for the bike like poor old Rakhi Gulzar waited for her kids in a Rakesh Roshan movie. "Woh aayega..... Mera number aayega"

I will see you guys after I come back from the shrink

Lol sabka yahi haal hai, delhi waalo ka toh kuch zyaada hee bura haal hai :P

I bought my cross shark helmet for 3500, and he had a really awesome motocross helmet of LS2 with good visor at the same or little less.

Same guy called me today and told that he is getting jackets and gloves etc in a lot from china, but I am not sure about the quality.

btw I am planning to order it directly from US, but not sure how safe is it.

Edit: Orion is opposite to forum mall at Hossur road, I think its yamaha showroom itself.

Yes. ground floor is yamaha showroom and above is planet dsg showroom. its not in the mall. its just opposite side of the mall at Hossur road.

Every bike is agile..... its just how U ride it

. A bike is as good as the rider. There are guys here who will crap there pants trying to corner a R15 and there are guys here who can knee down 220 at serious speeds. And yeah, CBR250 is agile enough, it can cut through traffic like a Hot knife through butter.
If u want something more agile u need to wait for Duke.

Oh ok, I am going to buy everything after i get the bike, because when i had the CD 100 i bought a super cool helmet and the new bike never came so i looked like a douche with that helmet on a cd100 :|
So this Orion place is the best? I saw a LOT of stores near JC road on Lal Bagh road or someplace i think with helmets and stuff?
And do we get helmets with twin visors? like a glared one and a plain one for the night?
CBR expected in 2 weeks

Sumit: I booked it with Pragnya honda, Okhla.

Checked with honda guy (rajiv) for other dealer deliveries; he said 25 have been delivered across Delhi, mostly from the display lot. My dealer offered me from the two display bikes he had got; but I figured that they would have first tried it themselves plus all the quality issues etc I was reading about in this forum and elsewhere, so I decided to wait for the delivery lot. NowI think it was a mistake; I wouldhave got my bike almost a month ago. Dealer promptly offered it number 2 in the booking list...and still hasn't got the delivery lot.

I agree. To be honest, I feel jealous when I read people who have booked sometime 15thJan or later have got their bikes and here I am, 1st Jan booking but yet to get it, it hurts. Icing was the Guwahati dealership that got 10 bikes in one ago. Saw pictures a few pages ago. After some time sanity prevails and I wish happy and safe riding to everyone who has got it. I have decided to let it be and hoping some day I will get the coveted phone call telling me that your bike has arrived. Till then, wait continues.

In terms of follow-up, I have been a monkey on my dealer's back for last 4 week (moreso since I have made the full payment when the display bikes arrived).

cheers, Sid

Hi sid,

I got my CBR today from Race Honda(Booked on 5th May)
I think u should also try other dealers.
Pragnya honda is not a good dealer and they told me that stock will take 1-2 months to come.

**johnjojo08** · 05-28-2011, 12:28 AM

After lot of days of frustration and waiting finally I got a call from honda dealer toady. My CBR is ready and can make my payment tomorrow. Will be getting it next week.

**sumit2ksh** · 05-28-2011, 12:32 AM

In fact, its not PlanetDSG showroom. Its Firefox cycle showroom with bike accessories. They store products for PlanetDSG, Performance Racing, Bachoos Motors etc. They all have mentioned the Bangalore address as the same shop. Their stocks are limited. Be in contact with the guy there to understand when the stocks will arrive, so that you can check the products and get the right size/model/colour.

The lap times of a VFR1200 and Fireblade are different at the same track at the hands of the same rider.The VFR1200 would obviously register a slower lap time.

On the other hand, the tourer finds VFR1200 better at long range high speed blasts in comparison to the Fireblade on the same road and at the hands of the same rider.The VFR1200 is way more comfortable at straight line speeds.

So what would you call it now ???? They are same ???
Honda themselves have segmented them into two different segments.
And CBR250R is in the same segment like that of VFR1200.

That's totally true, it all depends on the rider.........but still R15 would offer more room for errors but Pulsar220F won't leave any room for errors, you either would be through it or lose it, very less or no room for last minute corrections.

Good news to all. Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. (HMSI) is to expand production capacity at its upcoming second two-wheeler factory (spread over 240,000 square meters) that is scheduled to open on June 1, 2011 at Tapukara, Rajasthan.

So the opening preponed by 2 months. Good work HONDA.

It is funny how you attest a "Fanboy" tag to me when there was absolutely no suggestion in any of my previous posts that im drooling over the CBR.
IF i was a fanboy i wouldve booked my bike already and wouldnt be waiting for competition to kick in from other manufacturers.

And for the one who said every bike is agile..
