Honda pitched a product to hit Yamaha's showcase product. It was time Yamaha replied by hitting their bread and butter. This had to happen. Love brand wars !

Like to see a good 250cc + bike with conventional handle bars, a FZ 250 would be perfect (my back aches with sports posture! fed up seeing clip-on’s on every new commuter). Still I can’t see a single bike in the country to challenge Karizma for that matter, perfect tourerComment

OT: That's a misconception of many having a clip-on doesn't make a bike a good tourer and having an upright position doesn't make a bike the best tourer. I completely agree with you Karizma was the best touring bike until the CBR250R's lauch, I will rate it higher that a ZMAOriginally posted by satishg View Post

The overall riding position makes a good or bad tourer, and the handlebar does play a big role in that. Clip-ons are generally very low in height and make the riding position sporty/aggressive that puts too much pressure on the rider's shoulders, arms, wrists, and back which is not considered ideal for a touring bike where you are sitting for very long hours on the bike.Originally posted by Binoy View PostOT: That's a misconception of many having a clip-on doesn't make a bike a good tourer and having an upright position doesn't make a bike the best tourer.

Yes that too was my point the "overall riding position" that matters not coz of just clip-ons.Originally posted by sunilg View Post
Not necessary. Clip-ons on the CBR250R is not placed too low or too high that it won't make any stress on your hands, shoulders or arms for long rides, but off-roading/bad roads yes it will take a toll. I was pointing to the "Sports Touring Bikes" and I don't wan't to explain that to a veteran like you naOriginally posted by sunilg View Post
