I think they are gauging the response for the bike in India through the form. Bookings should be starting from january and one can expect deliveries in 2-3 months, thereafter

can't u talk anything sensible? ur claims and ur id are a perfect match.Originally posted by Horror View PostAnd check this out , it's got a lot of storage space. Dissapointing thing is they say top spead will be only 150kmph.
. You can get that on the P220 with a few mods or even at stock. I wanted this bike to be a good bike for travelling, But I guess they are trying to make it a bike for Indias traffic filled roadsComment

Stock P220s have been reported to go till 153kmph (on Speedo) with 7.3% of speedo error. So, thats a true GPS speed of 141.83kmph. - P220 OwnerOriginally posted by Horror View Post
P.S.: I am in no way involved in this discussion. Dont know what is going on. But wanted to provide facts for a healthy discussion.Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

Anyway if the CBR250R is really priced at lower than 1.5 lakhs, then it will be a hard time for the Yamaha R15 and Karizma ZMR to justify their price tags.
1. The CBR250R looks much better
2. The CBR 250R packs in the best of tech
3. The CBR 250R promises good performance.

Yup that's true, totally agree with you. People are gonna get the Honda reliability with the bikeOriginally posted by payeng View PostI would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.Comment

Although i dont know if ZMR would be having ANY justification but the R15 will be performing better on the tracks & hence it can be a justification to it. Moreover the honda is manifesting its bike as a good touring bike & hence i dont think it would be good on tracks.Originally posted by payeng View PostNOT BEEN THERE NOT DONE THATComment

For majority of the R15 buyers, its the "image" of a track bike (read R1) which sells, most of whom will never visit the race tack in Chennai and Coimbatore in his life. Even if he might live in Chennai/South.Originally posted by madhav krishna View Post
The CBR250R has got that image too and the CBR tag.. with a fatter rear end to boot.

^You are tempting me Payeng sir!
If a twin cylinder 250 cc bike comes up by any manufacturer within 2-2.5L, I might consider it in year or so.

The best 250 cc twin in the world, the Ninja 250R is already here.. agreed that it is a bit pricey, but then it is the best that we have.Originally posted by nitrosatya View Post^You are tempting me Payeng sir!

Lets wait and see how the CBR250R turns out.

If i had 3L with me, i would go to the probiking this evening and book one. But as I don't, i might as well hope and save for a bigger inline 2-3-4 cylinder bike.Originally posted by payeng View Post

A single cylinder costs less for a manufacturer..Originally posted by pulsar_flame View Post
if the Honda CBR250R becomes a bigger hit than the Ninja 250R "internationally", then Yamaha, Suzuki and even Kawasaki might be forced to start thinking the single cylinder way.

CBR.. an insight to the name.
I do not understand, where comes the context of competition among the CBR250R and the Ninja 250R. Agree, its invetiable to compare the two owing to their identical engine displacement, but its not viable to compare them in terms of performance.Originally posted by pulsar_flame View Post
Going by the way, Honda is pitching it, it surely leaves less space to consider this baby as a performer. I feel, had Honda not used the CBR tag, there wont have been so much of fuss of its performance. What about a VFR 250 tag ?
Since the "CBR" tag has long been associated with unadulterated performnace, there is so much of hue & cry about the performance of this bike.
