Yes, engine kill switch is even highlighted in the product intro video posted in this thread. lol

Epic stuff! exactly what we need here!
1.5L is too hard to believe tough! :O

But what the hell will CBR150 cost if this is 1.5L :O

Well, i strongly feel that CBR150R won't see Indian soil.

I don't think this will be a threat to the likes of Yamaha R15. There will be enough of a price difference for both of the bikes to exist.
Power wise it is down on the kwacker but then Honda has a better image then Kawasaki. Also in Europe you are restricted to bikes less than 33 odd bhp for two years after you get your learner's license. So it fits in there. Right now there is nothing that Honda has to offer in this segment and hence Kwacker rules.

Also absolute power is crap, if this is a tourer come commuter it doesn't matter how many bhps are packed. How is the suspension and power delivery matters more than anything else.
Remember a R15 can run rings around a P220 in real world.

Lastly my heart goes out to Hero Honda, because this is what the ZMR should alway have been.

BUt the best part is what it will make the likes of Bajaj, Hero and Yamaha do. Because they would have to do something to compete in this segment.
Expect the next Pulsar or the Zmr to have USD forks and radial calipers.

This is definitely good news, just don't expect this to be cheap as nuts. I don't think it will be below 2.

Sadly this is no good news for me. Because i was hoping someone gets a 400 or a 650 cc stuff.

Hyosung GT650R is indeed coming and it will come much before Honda

250R has a power to weight ratio of 0.086
CBR250 0.072

How much difference does that really make?

I was in a dilemma whether to go for an r15 or the p220,but now after seeing this,i won't mind waiting .Expecting this to be my weekend bike(if the pricing is right),and the unicorn as my commuter bike.

the 250R beats the CBR easily....but my calculations were wrong since CBR's HP isnt given...(though the ratio is still correct :P)

It is a beautiful looking motorcycle! Should have a lot of takers at a sub 2 lakh price.
