      Activa is a time tested machine just like the classic Splendor. Almost everyone eyeing the scooter market in this country puts Activa on their "choice of scooter to buy" list.
      Even the Twister has the same waiting period.
      Anything priced competitivel less(affordable for the average Joe) from Honda always attracts more people like bees in honeycomb.
      Honda didnt have enough output capacity at their existing plants to match the amount of customers.
      Honda is expanding its portfolio now since it moved away from HH
      They are expanding their manufacturing plants in India as of this year for a reason. There are 2 (or even 3/ not sure about the third) plant in the pipeline starting from this year(one of which might go full throttle this Dec as stated by the company)
      So i think people should cut them some slack and stop being Cynical

              Good for you
              And sorry i got cold today.. so cant smell anything

              edit: Btw i am 932 kms away... Maybe ur smelling somebody else?

              @ Sayan
              According to a few other websites, it seems the 2012 CBR's design will be based on the VFR model just like the 250R. But they are just that "rumours"

                  My bet is on the CBR600F(maybe the end of next year? :P )
                  Should be easily around 4-4.5lakhs(tops) and is obviously going to be wayy cheaper than the RR by a mile

                    N650R= GBP 5999 (In India, around Rs. 5 Lacs on road)

                    CBR 600F= GBP 7055

                    There is a difference of more than 1000 G. B. Pounds. I see it being priced around Rs. 6 Lacs on road, if and only if the Honda give it their best effort and nothing less.

                    Still yes, it beats the RR by miles, you're right about that.

                      Some good discussions going on. I dont see any chance HMSI would pitch it in the 4.5-5 lacs category (unlike what Nithesh said), coz it currently retails for 7055 GBP which corresponds to a shade under 6L. So, 6L is the magical figure what they should aim at.
                      Less than that, say 5.8 or 5.9 lacs, and they have half the work done.

                          We know that CBR 250 is produced here, while CBR 600F is not expected to be completely produced here.

                            I guess this would be better counter-part for N650R...but its too pricey.

                              The only thing we could get... Or rather Honda could take PITY and throw our way is the 600F... In the next 4-5 years maybe...

                                well if they can produce cbr250rr in india why not produce cbr600f in india if they have facility to produce cbr250rr logically they can produce cbr600f or cbr600rr in india
                                @j4zb4 honda will get 600cc bike in end of 2011 or early 2012 100%
