Considering the parts sharing that Honda has done to keep the prices in check the indicators could well be from Stunner. Isn't the switchgear taken from Dazzler/Unicorn? I also wanted to sit on the bike to get a feel but the SA politely refused and asked me to check back after 15th when the test rides commence.

I am surely going to do that. After having seen the Red color, I doubt any other color would do the bike justice of course that excludes the HRC color scheme.

Breaking news update on CBR for Bangalore..

I contacted the dealer. These are the updates.

1. They are getting it in lots of 9 bikes. They are unsure about the colour and ABS/non-ABS mix in this bike lot.
2. These bikes will leave Delhi on 7th, i.e. day after tomorrow evening or 8th morning.
3. They expect delivery in Bangalore on 14th-15th. This includes the display bike too.
4. If going by loan process, it would take a minimum of 4 working days for cash approval from HDFC bank. Only after that would your registration process begin.
5. If full payment is done, then, on the assumption that bike is delivered to Bangalore by 17th, then by 18th, they will register in RTO and by 19th they will deliver it to customer.
6. A point of concern for the salesman is that the RTO(In Bangalore, specifically) has to give some approval on this bike. As in, they(dealers) are expecting some approval from RTO for this bike to be rideable in Bangalore. If not, they can give us the bike, but it would be unsafe to ride it from a legal point of view(This is the info conveyed to me, not sure about the genuineness of the same).

Of all the cities in India, I had to be in this city. I had to be here in Bangalore. Sometimes I wonder if God is watching me from above, having his pop-corn and Pepsi, commenting, this guy has good acting skills, lets put him through more problems.

Black would be more subtle, would blend in easily, esp when you are in a place like Bangalore, where bike thefts are on the rise. Just yesterday, in my neighbourhood, a brand new P220's wheels, seats and tank was stolen. Thank goodness I moved into a house in ground floor. I am planning to park my bike inside the house.


P.S.: This is my post no. 69

Probably they mean the registration process as such OR the RTO probably need to get the spec of the bike (stating 250cc, single cylinder, HMSI etc) to be input to their system or through some Govt orders without which RTO may not be able to stamp that on RC. But the latter is still a wild guess as it takes anywhere between a week to month for the RC book to be delivered.

ROFL!!!

Thank God!!! C250R isn't a car rofl!!! Man...you need to get anti-theft devices.

Thats some good news..Even I called up Silicon Honda, BSK 3rd stage. They said the display bike will be arriving on 15th or 18th April.
I am guessing the deliveries will start after 20th of April only.

Lets wait and see. I have planned to buy this bike giving full cash.

My Friend, who had booked the bike from Saphire Honda, Bangalore got a confirmation call stating the delivery to be on 18th April. He had booked the bike somewhere around 1st Jan 2011.

Yes it does! Noticed this the first time i saw the bike's pics.. Have always loved my Civic's 'cockpit dashboard'..
Although i haven't seen it in person, but in pics, the CBR's does looks very similar! i like!

Wow! Rich guy, are not you?
Btw, I just called up and I too got similar answer from Mohseen (the branch manager for BSK 3rd Stg)
Display bike to arrive between 15th and 20th and deliveries to start mostly after 20th.

The parts are shared with the Unicorn Dazzler, indicators, switches et al. Why did you ask the SA?? should have directly sat on it! Those dumba**es dont know a thing about it.

I linked it the same way but seeing it in person only confirmed it.

Well, I did not want to create a scene and moreover was with my wife. And believe it or not a couple of my team mates walked in to the showroom at this point. So decided discretion is the better part of valor

Rich guy..Not sure.. Spent half year in the US (in 2010)..was able to make this money.
Kept this money exclusively for my Passion (motorcycles). Else my wife would have made me invest this money somewhere. . thank god even she is excited about this bike. Thanks to XBHP.
I even got myself a Scorpion Leather jacket (Black and silver combo)..Goes well with CBR as it come with a Black and silver combo.

Yes! Mohseen is the guy who spoke to me. Another 15 days..I think I can wait.

As the saying goes from me..The wait continues..(but I can see the horizon)

Update: Had called the sales rep at the (Pashankar) Honda showroom. This was the first time i got a confirmed answer from him! The demo bike will reach Pune on the 11th (Coming Monday!). Payment details will also be available on Monday!
W00tness
Can't wait! Can't wait!

Thanks for this Useful information/
Ah legal issues?! Damn that.
Any idea about waiting period in Bangalore?? Even I am going to pay the amount in one go and the entire amount at that. I have not booked it yet and for some reason my dad's not letting me. What do you Bangaloreans think, on how much time would I have to wait? Thanks.
