    Thanks for the info Tenhut.

    I always used to feel that my P220 has no power while exiting corners! It somehow ran out of juice. Usually they were at 50-60 kmph at Lavasa. I thought it was due to gearing and revs.

    But the R15 and Ninja 250 have a good feel while exiting a corner. Made me wonder about their high peakedness of power delivery.

      How can a 220 not have power at 50-60? It does a F'in ton in 3rd.. stick to 3rd.(when you get back to Pune and Lavasa) I do too .
      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.

        My old 220 was a shorter geared bike. The new one is little bit taller geared.

        But will the CBR250R beat R15 on the corners? That is about to be seen!

          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.
          high revving bike does have an advantage during cornering as it helps the rider to control the power precisely as required.

            By being in the power band you can do the same even on a low revving machine. Riding is done by the rider and what are saying is at best rider's preference. Ducatis dont rev as much, but that is not of any disadvantage to them when coming out of a corner. Some will prefer that to high revving machines while others will want nothing short of a 22k RPM revving VFR400 !

            The CBR will power its way out on streets. But its not a track oriented bike like R15 and doesnt have a chasis to match that of R15s.
            It can be done but even the Ninja 250R has a tough time catching up with R15 timings on the track !
            Chasis is EVERYTHING.

                rev has nothing to do with cornering! if the rev is at power band and if the chassis are designed to take it, then it doesnt matter if the powerband is around 6-7k or 11-12k!! the bike will corner the way it is designed for and the skills the rider can show!!

                  The cbr might have a higher cubic capacity but it is no match 4 the r15 around corners, its got delta box remember? Its the yzf series after all, descendants of race winning bikes

                    Ducatis do rev high, drove a 748 and its a high rev machine. Talking about Ducati's, it uses a technology which delivers power to the rear in uniform small bits. As a result even if you accelerate hard while "still" coming out of the corner, the rear will hold its ground and not skid while the RPM needle goes insane.

                    P.S. This is the technology which made Ducati what it is today. Watched all about this on a BBC Documentary.

                        Seeing how the 250 ninja from Kawasaki is for 2.5 lacs, i don't see how honda would price this under 2 lacs, if its under 2 lacs... its an absolute steal

                          2011 Honda CBR250R Tech Review - Motorcycle.com

                          Highligts:

                          1. Riders from 5 feet 4 inches tall, up to 6 foot 2 fit well, with maybe
                          some room remaining on either extreme.

                          2.The optional Combined ABS system adds 4 Kg, and is positioned so as not to unbalance the bike from right to left. Pressing the rear brake actuates the rear caliper, plus one of the three pistons of the three-piston front caliper (non-ABS has a twin-piston front caliper)37mm non-adjustable fork and a rear monoshock with five-position preload adjustability. While basic, the CBR'S 5.1 inches front and 4.1 inches rear travel should nonetheless provide a good compromise in road compliance for a large variety of riders.

                          5.Braking ought to be sufficient thanks to tried-and-true 296mm front, 220mm rear rotors clamped by a dual-piston front (three-piston for ABS version), and single-piston rear caliper. No adjustability is offered for the brake or clutch levers, but they are reasonably close to the bars.

                          Can you tell me the true top speed of CBR250R??.. NINJA 250's around 160-162kmph, right??... (jus askin fr general knowledge :-D)

                              Technology ? Thats the L or V twin power delivery. There is no technology other than traction control tech that will save you from high/low siding when coming out of a corner. In an L twin or V twin config the tyre has more time to recover from the power pulses but thats no insurance against slides. Also a Vtwin or Ltwin will never rev as high as an inline.

                              That Chasis is everything isnt for you or me to doubt or believe. Its a well established fact. Be it a motorcycle or a car, handling is predominantly determined by the chasis along with suspension elements and not the engine power.
