    Power and Torque are just numbers.
    FZ25 beats CBR in a drag race till 130Kmph. After that, CBR rides strong till 160.
    In this MotorBeam drag race CBR seems to be winning.




    I am also not happy with Honda's decision to keep pushing outdated design, but then CBR250 is a tried, tested and better bike as compared to FZ25 (albeit higher price). It would be interesting to see how new engine comes up for CBR 250.

      Cost at which they sell decides the model they launch.
      FZ engine is as reliable as CBR. Sixth gear and short gear ratio is the only difference. Some sprocket changes can fix it to some extent.

          I don't know why they have so many female models stuck around each vehicle, looks kind of cheap/insulting using them as display items to bring audience to their stalls. I can see how a few might lend glamour to the event but one for each is disgusting.

            Honda is known for its smooth engines but this 160cc engine from honda vibrates a lot on both uni160 and hornet. I think they should do something to make this motor more refined.

                  Yes that could be the reason of better sales of Unicorn 150.

                    Its like one in a million, and Honda should not showcase the Navi as an ADV motorcycle just due this.

                      Exactly... It doesn't make any sense.

                        It's weird that Honda has so many variants for Navi and keeps experimenting with its looks but doesn't have time to put decent DECALS on CBR or use more contemporary MID console on it. It is all about priorities, not sure if Honda has got them right.

                        Looks like Navi is a favourite pet of one of the Honda biggies here in India.

                          Honda has lost it's charm to me. In 90s it was Godlike motorcycle maker. VFRs, VTRs, CBRs, and many more legends. Bulletproof engines. Super reliable bikes.

                          But that Honda is gone. It doesn't care about enthusiasts anymore.

                          My dream bike Fireblade costs 30 lakhs now.

                          Bye Honda, it was nice knowing you!

                            Most of the companies are now intresting in selling anything and only making profits.

                              I think you're comparing this new 160cc with old unicorn 150cc 's vibrations. yes vibes are present but not to an extent that it annoys you much, rode my unicorn 160 at 111 km/hr on yamuna expressway for 10 km, didn't bothered me much.
