@All...
I guess we still don't have a clue as to whether Honda will bring this to India, but we can make some safe assumptions here.
Going by Honda's plan with the new CBR 250, and the way they intend to relaize volumes in India (going by it's supposed pricing), and also considering the fact that the Honda biggies have been available here officially for a considerable period of time now, logistically Honda shouldn't have too many obstacles to bring this beauty in.
I'm not well versed regarding the homologation procedures, and what steps and obstacles they might have to go through. But I believe that if their intent is strong, they'll find a way, especially since they'll soon be having a presence in India, at both ends of the power spectrum...i.e, the 250cc and 1000cc machines.
As of now, we can just keep our fingers crossed. But based on the way things have recently been moving in the motorcycle arena in our country.....good times seem to be here finally. So I wont be surprised if Honda makes some interesting announcements for us enthusiasts.

Extremely agressive, This one may kill the ever sharpening competition.Never upgrade without getting your basics RIGHT.Comment

My initial reactions are very positive.
It seems to exactly the bike I dreamt of: Sporty riding position, sporty looks, but torquey engine and more practical setup than supersports.
Would love to have it in India.
But again, let's not forget that Honda took years to show us a proper 250 - and THAT TOO IS NOT HERE YET.
One question though- does anyone feel like the "CBR" brand is getting softer/ diluted, etc.? After the announcements of single cylinder CBR 250 and this Hornet..?---

"immense prospects in India"
"Honda hasn't made any announcements for India yet"
"it's just a matter of time"
LOLRegardless, Life shall go on.Comment

Anyone one with any good info on this?
I have fallen too much in love with this.Comment

hyusong 650gtr or kawasaki 650 r or now the honda baby dam confusing
Liquid-cooled 4-stroke 16-valve DOHC inline-4" thats what it says and both others i.e the hyusong is a v twin.........inline means its gonna cross 5 lac band and would be more expensive than the other two......if thats the case , i will stick to the hyusong

+1 but what the hell, poor commoners like us would still like to flaunt that "I ride a CBR"Originally posted by Samarth 619 View Post
Would disappointing news be considered as 'good' info?Originally posted by sheelpriye View Post
I highly doubt this coming to India.
Why would Honda the leech bring this in India where it can attract a bigger margin in selling the blade and the VFR .... If you can strecth for 6-7Lakhs it would rather make you stretch for 9-11L! Social service - I dont think so.
I expect a totally new player to bring in the smaller machines. Kawasaki is definitely the BEST bet in this context!Super CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more

Not interested in the 650R.Originally posted by satyenpoojary View Post
And do you think Honda would be sitting ducks with manufacturers coming up with their soft 600's?Comment

They wouldn't but this seems to be in a different league altogether, inline 4 more than 100 horses and i'm sure it can be priced anywhere near to the other two and it cant be considered as a direct competition to them, but if they do it nothing like itOriginally posted by sheelpriye View Post

I dont think Kawasaki would want to sell an 'old' bike in India... I guess the recently unvieled 750R is more like it!!!!Originally posted by sheelpriye View Post
Q: India did have bikes upto 225CCs right, did that make the age 150s a sitting duck?
Ans: A Big Fat Japanese NO!
Edit:
Look at it this way...
A 250 priced at 1.5L.. Sell many, earn many
A 1000 priced at 9L.. Sell Few, earn many
A 1000 priced at 12L.. Sell few, earn many
Where do you think this 600 can fit!
Most logical folks would say: Kill the 9L 1000CC CBF and get this here at 6-7-8Ls
Now think its impact on the bigger thousand! and think like a stubborn japanese old man!Last edited by satyenpoojary; 11-19-2010, 12:51 PM.Super CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more
