        @aargee - yup the cbr is a single.. but you can have a 250 twin cruiser engine as well ( if HH design something of their own )..


        My offerings to the gods of speed -

        - KTM Duke 200
        - Yamaha RXZ 5 speed

          Imagine a single cylinder of CBR 250 covered in fairing (lol fairing on a cruiser) that has (trade mark of HH)stickers of twin cylinder on either side . Man I'm in full Lol!!!

            I think the karizma engine if tuned well can really produce good amount of bhp which currently is 17 bhp and putting it into a sturdy and better quality of frame will bring laurels to Hero group and again as on date avenger and thunderbird are the only cruisers available within 1.5 lakh range so that place hero motors can tap in easily.

              I hope Ravi's reply clears the air on the Honda-Hero Honda divorce issue. Should we say it as alimony being paid by Honda???

              It is very possible that Honda might give 250cc engine to Hero Honda. A cruiser and a sports bike are not competitors. I am really hoping for the 250cc cruiser. Its a great move if HH does this.

                  Keep it up HH

                  wow, after so much bashing by me... HH finally heard!!! They should have taken this decision at the time when avenger was launched... but better late than never...
                  and yes, Karizma's engine is good option. Because if they come up with CBR engine than its gonna cost A LOT!!!

                          That i would doubt my friend, it's not going to overpower CBR, that's not hero's style.

                            seems like hero is going to concentrate on cruiser segment and leave sport segment to others. ( without hondas technical support they have to start from the scratch to make a new bike,, may be they thought it would be better to start with comparatively less croweded cruiser segment, but we really have to wait and see if this rumoured 'quarter cruiser' and 'diesel dildo' is going to do any better than mahindra mojo.

                                have a look at the stripped down CBR250R in the CBR250R thread.
                                looks OK. would definitely work.
