    I guess the same would apply for the peak power output at 11K RPM vs.8.5K RPM for the CBR!
    That is also my reasoning. Also the journalists who have ridden the CBR250R are also quoting the same thing that the CBR250R has good spread of power/torque at low-mid rpm range.

    After all even Honda is promoting the CBR250R as a touring bike.. and touring bikes are tuned for relaxed riding with good low-mid range torque.

    Looks like desi guys expecting a "desi" style pick up on the CBR250R won't be disappointed.

      Desi Pick-Up

      I believe, if you have it, flaunt it, albeit on rare occasions... :P

      @Payeng: if i am not mistaken, you had made a ZMA guy lick his wounds on your 220 on Bangalore roads.. like even when u were not interested in a drag, the guy kept taunting u.. and then u ripped and left him way behind..

      same way, even i dont feel like dragging on city roads... but there r occasions when i get the itch... to make posers lick the dirt..

      i guess, CBR wud be good for that..
      I speak the truth not so much as I would like to, but as much as I dare, and I dare a little more as I grow OLDER.!!

        You remember eh..??

        I am no more that kind of rider these days.. in fact that incident itself did not make me feel good.

        The CBR250R looks good in Photos, the specs look good on paper.. the only thing left is to experience riding it.. which I expect to be good too.

          My 2 cents,

          When i used to ride my stock Pulsar 220 at Lavasa ghats, it used to run out of breath at higher rpms. So it is short geared. Meaning it will create most of the power under 6k rpm.

          Then i modified the front sprocket to 17 teeth. This made it taller geared. The change was instant! The initial acceleration suffered but the top end is awesome!! Can maintain the speed for a longer period of time! Can definitely boast of quicker lap times!

          So if you want to go corner carving, you will need top end rush, which the R15 has.
          So in my opinion,CBR250R is not that into corners!

              The build up of acceleration / speeds on the Ninja 250R is smooth.. and non intimidating. It is definitely a learners delight for the developed markets.
              As you mentioned in your post, the rush is exactly because of its peaky power delivery and not related to triple digit speeds.

                But they are interrelated.

                  how is cornering connected to rpm (high or low) ???

                    The fun is due to the sudden surge and forward thrust. It is not because you are already doing tripple digit speeds. Acceleration is simply the rate of change of your velocity. What velocity you were at before you started accelerating cannot contribute to the acceleration itself.
                    So they are not interrelated.

                    when i ride bullet before my bullet was solid condition but i once race with a Ceilo car and my engine size. mechancic say bullet is good bike but no racing. it is good for three people and very powerful.
                    one day when i become rich i but ducati and then I race with cars. not now.

                      Isn't power band related to cornering? Which in turn is related to rpms?

                        Dude I am aware of the definition of acceleration

                        All I meant that along with the sensation of speed, the sight of the speedometer needle breaching the ton mark makes things all the more exciting.

                            No sir, the powerband and revving topics are very well related to CBR250R!

                              If you want to be losing no time you want to be in your powerband alright, but how is that related to cornering? Its not like the Ninja250R will corner better for it revs higher or its powerband is up high than the CBR250R.
                              I mean it might corner better or worse for other reasons but a high reving machine wont automatically corner better and hence I cannot see any connection between cornering dexterity of a bike and its high or low revving ability.

                                one has to be in the power band to corner and not necessarily in the higher revs. also other things such as suspension, chassis tires and overall amalgamations of all these things put together would determine the cornering ability of a bike.
