    dont you guys think the ABS can also promote rash driving?? because most of the stunters (rash drivers) dont drive that fast because they fear that they may not have enough braking power & bike can skid if they brake excessively. Now since they will have a much safer & precise braking (C-ABS) they might drive the bike to its limit & much more insanely in traffic. Just my thought nothing else.
    I guess that's why the power churned out of the engine has been restricted. People like most of us know our limits and drive safely but there are still cases of rich brutes who would drive recklessely. Well all I can do is promote safe riding and pray for them...lol, Having ABS wont stop a truck or a car from crashing into you at a signal that one must have broken, just something to think about.
    I would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.

Coz the dazzler is priced at 75k & the glamour is priced at 64k (approx). Anyways what we speculate doesnt matter to honda. It has already decided its price tag & is not gonna change for our sake. Even am praying that it should be priced at 1.4lacs.

          The CEO of HMSI said it will be lesser than 1.5lacs.. happy?! :| read previous posts man !! lol

          ABS DOES NOT reduce braking distance it only ensures safe braking. it will not magically save you from hitting the car ahead it would ensure your wheels dont lock.. rest is in your hands only !! and rich people dont necessarily drive rashly.. that is a weird notion !! power has been restricted? how? where? it may have been lowered cause indian fuel is bad but i doubt that.

              How can things like abs promote rash driving??..

              Talking about the bolds-If that were the case ask any RTR owner with stock tires..He would never in his life want to go beyond 60kmph...We know how scary is the word 'skid' is....

              Not that I am saying,we are rash drivers but yeah everyone(who's a bit of a nut or acts like one someday) would never think-'Yes,I have got ABS and I would go completely mad with it'..Yes,odds are that ABS might help in a better way than conventional brakes,but if a dog decides to confront you..won't be much of a help I believe..
              If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

                You break a signal and a car might hit you from the opposite side taking a right turn, I wasn't excatly talking about the car ahead of you. And let me repeat my sentence, "some cases of rich brutes" not all the rich people.....Please read carefully

                          • FE of 50 kmpl is very good for a 250cc bike.... hope hero honda learns some lessons from it.

                            The pricing also seems very attractive too.... but i have doubts whether it will be able to match up with the ninja in terms of performance... may be bec. it only has a single cylinder.....

                            one thing i like about it is the brakes with ABS.

                              • I still suspect the price tag :-s 1.5L ? Seriously ? If that's for sure ... CBR150R entry in India will become highly impossible ...
