Blade 160 looks promising with sharp front headlights. And with CBR Honda played just as usual game, i.e. color scheme change with addition of LED lights, even they still providing Conti tyres(As seen on the pictures). Anyways it's cool welcome for LED clustering lights in CBR and I believe the same can be adapted to old CBRs as well as the frame and fittings would be same.

Yes, TVS is putting Bluetooth enabled console in 60K scooter, and Honda still selling their dated design with new colors, retro, minimal MID console for a 2L bike. If Yamahas adds ABS option in FZ 25 for additional 20K (and better colors please), the would sell more and eat a large share of CBR 250 sales. I think Honda might bring down price of CBR 250 now. Let's see...

Yes this X blade has exactly same engine from Unicorn 160, it seems like Unicorn 160 will be discontinued soon to make way for this X blade.
CBR 250R will now be available as ABS version only but as everyone knows it will be a great Refined tourer but will be priced High

Duke 390 offering is so good, that it makes this Honda CBR250R look dated..If Honda CBR250R is priced very close to Apache RR310 and only sales will tell if it will be successful..

The CB300R 'Neo sports' looked really nice.. Would have been excellent if they had showcased it here & produced locally..

Any idea about pricing and launch of CBR 250?

Expecting some price cuts. Maybe around 1.5L or less than that.

Reason being
More powerful FZ25 is at 1.2. Except fairings.
Dominar 400 abs is at 1.55.
RR 310 is at 2.1.
If they retain old pricing, it is dead on launch. They have to cut price. That’s why they launched old model only. Instead of launching new one.

Agree on most part, FZ25 is not more powerful though.
CBR250 -> 22.9 @ 7000 rpm and FZ25 20 @ 6000 rpm

Wrong info!

26.xx bhp for the CBR and 20.xx bhp for FZ25

Unless you are talking about the torque!!

I think he mentioned torque only.

I figured it out! Thats why i mentioned!! Hehehe
Power and torque are two different things! Unless I am wrong [emoji16]

Re: Honda X-Blade 160cc motorcycle unveiled at Auto Expo 2018

Yes, I was referring to torque - thought I included BHP as well, but looks like I didn't paste it. :-)
On both counts (BHP & Torque), CBR 250 is more powerful than FZ25.

Re: Honda X-Blade 160cc motorcycle unveiled at Auto Expo 2018

The odd one out here. By any chance are we gonna see the lights of CBR150 at least in new colors.

Power and Torque are just numbers.
FZ25 beats CBR in a drag race till 130Kmph. After that, CBR rides strong till 160.

Why?
Even though CBR has higher numbers supporting it, it has taller gears, so it compromises on how fast the bike reaches 100 or 120Kmph.

Even though FZ has lower numbers, its gearing is short, so it reaches 100 much faster than CBR.

Torque of 20 or 30 doesnt make any sense.
if the torque curve is good, even a 15NM torque bike can beat a 20NM torque bike. The flatter the curve, the faster the bike is.

The numbers they mention are peak torque numbers which go from 0 to that number in a graph. The flatter the graph is, the better the bike performs on road. A bike having steep curves on that graph, will perform poorly in real world.
