How did CBR disappoint?

Frame(chassis) of r15 is 8.5k not 20k and i dont think they will keep too much price diff between old and new one, even if they, do expect a 10 to 15percent bump max...
if one is considering only cosmetic mods it might not be as high as 40k
here is my calculation
frame 8.5k
fairing 3 k
swing arm around 3.5(not sure)
Tyre 2k
seat 1k (wats the price of current one?)
tail light 1k (leds are not cheap)
give it 15 to 20 percent extra as safe margin and you are done with in 25k only for cosmetic mods
But selling your old one for a good deal and getting new one will be a wise move:-)
any news about new r15 being cheaper(there was a talk about this in some thread)?Comment

Coz the Indian version is not as capable as the Thai one. Read detuned, restricted&does not reach the expected topspeeds.Originally posted by rohan_5013 View Post How did CBR disappoint?
Read the thread, you will find unacceptable quality issues like paint chipping off after pressure wash, engine issues/seizures after 1st service&what not.
Certainly not what the bike was proclaimed to be.
Anyway I will stop now, this thread is for the new R15.
Looks like the cosmetic deficit has been made up for. Let's see how it performs!Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

Front indicators placement is too low. Overall satisfied, pillion seat doesnt have much space, we overweight Indians will look weird.

How much space you need? The fatties should stick to spendours. It's great that it's a proper 2 seater, maybe it will put off buyers who carry 3-6 people on bikes, which would be fantastic!Originally posted by Curious View PostBeware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !Comment

The only thing I pray to the almighty is that the QUALITY of version 2 should not get low.
The term "LOCALIZED" just scares me off.
The R series is known all across the world for its refinement and performance and according to me the version 1 has standed tough in all the parameters and got full marks.
Just want the same from V.2.

Having owned R15 and now owning CBR i think the above statement one off which every bike will have and there will always be issues in every one (I believe every bike has its imperfections, top most being its riderOriginally posted by Sarvajit View Post ) .
R15. Boy that bike is superb, cornering was the best.
CBR is more fun to me now i love how easily you can counter-steer in city traffic which was not so easy in the R15. Initial few days cornering was difficult, sometimes thought i was going to fall, now after getting used to weight difference(R15 and CBR) its simply beautiful.The tyre's are the culprits in the CBR got to get a better set.
Quality wise CBR is better IMO compared to R15.
Now just cant wait to see and ride the new R15 . Hopes its better than the previous in all sections.For Sale
