    Absolutely dont want to spread a rumor or a wildstorm, but I heard from quite a lot of people including Yam mechs and showroom guys that a 250 from Yamaha is either in development stage, or past development stage. Now whether it will be a sportier sibling to the R15, or a normal streetbike/streetfighter, is uncertain.

            I think that the journalist typing this article is confused. He just added the word "fast" subjectively...

            Nobody from Honda is quoted saying that these 5 bikes would be "fast bikes". That's right! I couldn't find even one such indication.

            And secondly, by 3 years, we expect a lot of things happening here, like Ninja 250, KTM Duke, FZ1 launch, etc.

                First a 150cc Unicorn
                then a 125cc Stunner
                next 5 models will be 100cc, 80cc, 50cc, 35cc, electric wheelchair

                Honda is Honda...no matter what we really require...they will get all hopeless models with sticker or paint jobs. Together with HH, they will rule the Indian "Average kya hai" market for years, flooding the market with all cheapo rebores of the same engine....

                    They are not in business for charity (giving out powerful bikes) but to make money (selling what most people want) and you clearly know by their business numbers who makes better business - Honda or Yamaha... or even being a Honda dealer or a Yamaha dealer...

                        Mann..I want to stand and salute the guy who came up with the idea of painting the cylinder head with sparkling florocent "red" color...

                        In coming times, I expect their fetish of florocent colors to reach pistons and crank shafts etc...

                          Hmmm ...Now I wonder why I am reminded of the old Ducati Monster whenever I see this bike..

                          does look good though...

                            and then to enable visibility to them they give transparent engine compartment... see, technology at its best and it would find a lot of buyers.

                            So shall we forget them as "makers of uncle bikes".....
                            A lot of people around the world call them so... even for the CBR's (compared to their competition) and we may as well call them so. One day everyone of us would be an uncle and would probably prefer their Uncle's bikes... they are still probably the most successful motorcycle manufacturer. You will not be able to forget Honda. The very fact that we crib upon them so much is that we love their bikes and want them to take the next step and give more aggressive stuff!

                              Dont worry they will even paint those transparent engine compartments looking at the florocent painting spree they are in, in there "plus and minus" versions.....

                              "more" aggresive................

                              painting bikes with potpourrie mix mangle florocent confused colors doesnt make a bike aggresive in any way.....!

                              and when we will become uncles, then we might applaud honda...coz probably that time we might have lost all zeal towards life..
                              Today, we are zestfull and lets not kill all that with honda Indias lazy,lacklustoros bikes.......!

                                I doubt this 250 will come to India anytime soon. DOnt know how the persons at these companies decide the strategies. This being not even considered for US where many would and can definetly have it.
