  • i don't personally think there will be a higher powered engine. if a new engine is on the cards the design work should have begun months back . the cbr bike was released recently so there is no point in hoping that the new bike will feature an engine to compete with cbr.if yamaha brings out a 26 bhp bike ( to tackle the cbr)it will smoke the honda. this bike does 140 on the speedo with just 17 bhp. wonder what it will do with a 26 bhp motor. it could even smoke 33 bhp ninja. how about a twin 250 cc R25?he he.
    i would die for it.

            they are very tight lipped on technical specs, but a higher performance engine can be expected. ( they are keeping the CBR250, and the P220 in mind and price ).

            The bike will be more expensive than the outgoing model.

            What all makes through, is not confirmed. So dont flame me if im wrong!!

            According to me, a higher price would be justified only if there is an increase in performance figures. & if they are really keeping the 220 in mind, they better not hike the price!

            Looking forward to more information from your side (once you get it that is).

            My views on the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post699240

            The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                      dude i have taken care to mention "on the speedo". read care fully before you comment
                      i personally had done 143 (speedo value) on nh7.every one knows that speedo readings are inclusive of errors.

                      • but still. 143 does look amazing for a 150cc its the best in class

                            • An increase in price of the R15 would only help the cause of the Honda CBR250R.

                              • i think they will sell this new "model" along with the present one.
