Thanks Guys!
Neil, there are many other enthusiasts who are desperately waiting for their CBR from day one. I'm just one among them. Many doesn't speak here. For me, this thread has helped a lot during the waiting period. I keep visiting this thread 4-5 times in an hour. I felt jealous when others got their bikes and I was still waiting, but at the same time I was happy that atleast their wait has paid off and my number will also come very soon.
I really feel for those who are still waiting, especially for those who have booked in the first week of Jan. Hope they all get their CBR soon.

@motor-psycle - Congratulations!!!

Congrats first of all. Vijay, rode the bike in that heavy rain???!! In our part, it was ice rain for few minutes!!!!

Wait pays...

All,

I have been CBR'izzeeeddd.

Took the delivery on 30th May. I went along with my daughter and my wife joined me later as she had to come from her office.
Daughter and wife were all excited to see the bike just like me .

Took the bike from the showroom around 5.00 pm, went to Shell petrol bunk filled her up with 10 liters of Premium petrol and went to my parents house in Rajarajeshwarinagar to show them the bike. They were very happy. My 86 year old grandma was super excited (BTW we both watch Moto GP together ). She and my parents blessed the bike and me.

It rained heavily but I didn't allow the rain to ruin my day. I just rode my CBR in rain and I like riding in rain. I enjoy it.
(P.S. Ajaz gave me a free water wash today as the bike got dirty due to the rain yesterday. )

About the bike, I have completed around 60kms. One thing for sure is this bike is smooth. Handling is awesome (BTW I used to ride a FZ earlier). I beg to differ from the people who say this bike is not AGILE. Please ride it. This is my only suggestion.
This bike handles the Bengalooru traffic very well. (I rode in the Mysore road traffic where the Metro work is going on. Imagine the traffic there).

I rode the bike within 4-5k RPM and the bike does well in all the gears. I didn't feel any jerks when I shifted from 5th to 6th at the speed of 50-52 kmph. It is smooth. The gear shift and the clutch is butter smooth and will be much more smoother after I complete my run-in period.

I am riding the STD version believe me the brakes are AWESOME. (in wet conditions too).

The lighting of the bike is mind blowing. The console when it glows with the blue back ground is a treat to watch.
I feel the size of the display provided is Good. All the figures were very clear during day as well as night. (Even in rain )

I pasted the tank pad myself and it looks cool. I covered my bike with a Old cover to avoid those Nasty kids who play near the parking area.

All I can say is I am enjoying. I shall give a detailed review of the bike once I complete 250 kms.

I shall upload the photos ASAP.

^^ Good to know that ur family stands with you in biking..! Btw. It's time to change your signature now...!

Congrats on the CBR man.
I am hoping the highlighted part is a typo

Fixed it..Thanks

This is what happens if you watch lot of motor sports

HONDA ZINDABAD

after numerous follow ups & making the payment last week this is my conversation on the phone with the manager yesterday:'

Me: have the bikes arrived yet?

man:No sir

Me:but you informed they left on 21st

Man:woh kya hai sir ,some problem at plant so left on 23rd.actually 24-25th bhi ho sakta hai.i don't know.

me: ok,where are they now

man:don't know sir

me:atleast enquire when they will arrive

man:don't know sir.30-31st bhi ho sakta hai -- 1-2-3rd june bhi lag sakta hai

me:what you know

man:wait -- *pauses) yes sir you paid money & your cheque was encased so no issues.

me:but issue hai-- when are you giving me the delivery

man:*confused* ok sir will call you sir as soon as trailer arrives.

Now I was not knowing whether to be angry & fire his sorry ass or I was genuinely amazed at this guy's ineptness--

anything happens --don't know sir but no issues --

BTW am hoping I get mine in 2-3 days

^Bol raje, kaunsa Honda showroom todna phodna hain :P

Aa jayega bike baaba! aa jayega! Chill Man Chill

Me: Am i an Idiot to pay the money & still wait for the bike that has not seen the shore here?

Man: --don't know sir but no issues --

Just fun intended...Only thing you can do is "wait" man....!

Great going Vijay!!! Your "Hari Om..." has paid off... happy rains of riding man... congratulations. Ride hard, safe and happy

Mate, he has already changed it. Or you are meaning something else not changed yet?

Congrats once again Vijay. So the waiting period has finally paid you off.

None is suggested .. I use turtle wax.

Thanks sudeep. Thursday ..let me know the time.. will try to make it. Sapphire jayanagar..booking number 13.. right??

Bhai.. call to kar dete when u came to rajarajeshwari nagar.. I stay there.

If I had known about this free water wash thingy.. I would also have driven in rain Ajaz told me not to fill the tank to the brim as it might lead to air block.

I personally felt that the odometer display is small. Rest of the things are fine.

Is this what is called 'setting the right expectations' ???
