...and later dealers may sell it to it's own employees/even public for a discount but with full warranty. HH normally discounts if the test ride bike/display bike is not sold off for more than 6 months HH also honors warranty terms for such bikes....Originally posted by Old Fox View Post

What he means is that different steering geometries "handle" differently depending on what you do with the bike. In this case when you use the rear brake on the ABS model it is a combined brake. This means that both front and rear brakes are applied and monitored by the ABS electronics. Without the rider's hands stabilizing the front fork (steering), when you apply the brakes, any imbalance in the system manifests itself as "wobble" or even tracking left or right depending on the nature of the imbalance.
Wheels, by nature, are more stable when rotating at high speeds due to gyroscopic effect. This effect can nullify minor imbalances in the system. The moment you "slow" the wheel down by braking or coasting, these imbalances get magnified.
OF's test was a test of braking stability and the C-ABS set-up.Kriss : 15.06.1981 - 11.10.2009
You will not be forgotten...RIP

Nice.But the last day i noticed that the CBR lacks the mesh-grill on the side fairings?Dint this cause the R15's to burn up ?Smoke rubber,not tobacco.

Abhiwar: By sudden application of the rear brake while not holding the handlebars, I was checking the inherent stability of the bike. That the CBR tracked true and straight under hard braking and without any input from the rider (me) means that Honda have got the geometry (thats the combo of rake, trail, wheelbase, location of the center of gravity and frame rigidity) spot on.
Guess the mesh was a Murphy's Law preventive - people would stuff the gap with cleaning cloth or some such thing which would catch fire and burn the bike. The CBR250 is not as tightly packaged as the R15 and so maybe even if someone makes the same mistake, the results will hopefully not be similar. Hopefully that isOriginally posted by RanjithMN View PostNice.But the last day i noticed that the CBR lacks the mesh-grill on the side fairings?Dint this cause the R15's to burn up ?

Rear suspension??Originally posted by Samarth 619 View PostSir, Thanks for the review. You're right that they need to get the deliveries done faster.
BTW How was the headlight? Was it beamy or spread? And how powerful? Also, was the rear suspension adjustable?

And CBR seems to have a bigger space/vent.It will be more convinient for ppl to stuff things.Hope HONDA address this issue.Originally posted by Old Fox View PostGuess the mesh was a Murphy's Law preventive - people would stuff the gap with cleaning cloth or some such thing which would catch fire and burn the bike.
