      Now that's something called to the point
      India is seeing a revival of the days that were during the times of RD350 and Comet GT250.

            + 1 Billion :P

            Yeh they are launching but still is India ready for it?

            Man I see idiots sitting and damaging my bike even though its one of the common 150cc bikes but still.

            I am worried what will they do when I get my CBR. People stealing petrol is not new, I myself have caught two people stealing petrol from my bike in my building.

            I still dont think India is worth getting anything above 100CC cause of some people!

            Read Chris Pffeifer (May be a spelling mistake!) interview, even he thought India is full of poor people but still many of us are almost in upper middle class or higher classes but the number is very few.

            Man my bike is scratched so many times, mirrors in some other direction, etc!
            I feel like Peter Parker when I drive my Hunk in the city but I become Spiderman when I am on my CBR swinging from one lane to the other on expressways.

                Keep a separate commuter bike for daily use.

                Let me declare something, Indian true bikers are always ready for high end products but the general Indian populace is so poverty struck and mean that the attitude of this overpopulated country as a whole to certain things won't ever change.

                What good does it serve if some slum dweller comes and scratches our bike ???
                or Blades off the seat ??? Would such action provide them a two-time meal daily ???

                I know of rackets maintained by seat cover makers in our city who pays to poor slum kids a penny or two for wasting seat covers.Some other people steals petrol, a trick well learnt from the local mechanic's garage.
                The country is full of greedy and opportunity seeking populace and the only way we can help it is by outsmarting them in our own ways.

                    Jealousy!!! A satisfaction & sense of achievement to have damaged something that he could not afford when someone else has.

                    BTW, are you aware of the car logo racket in Mumbai?

                      I had the same question in my mind about you

                      Well I am completely satisfied with my 150 and enjoying the discussions here, my next purchase would probably be a multi-cylinder like yours

                      That won't pay their medical bills when they are in sick, so it just makes them poorer by the day.For people with such attitudes seldom makes it big in life.

                      So let's rest their case and keep waiting for CBR250R to hit the market.......what else ??

                      • Booked the NINJA on feb 21st, was so tempted to buy CBR 250R because of its PRICE ,but my heart told NINJA or NINJA NINJa was my dream ,now its so close to come true Those who love NINJa will definitely go for it no matter what,they will wait till they get it.Same with the CBR lovers .
                        Both are good in their respective league

                          OT - But why tell it here? There's already an N250R ownership thread & you might experience more than a red carpet over there. Pls once again, do not try to start a war between N250R & C250R here. Tks for your understanding

                              Congratulations
                              Are they giving it in writing on the receipt that the deliveries are by June end or just verbally?

                                Nah nothing in writing, just verbal, thats why I am worried

                                I doubt I will get in June because Honda is under a huge pressure to deliver these babes asap to everyone, they will also export it! Now imagine the scenario!

                                I will use my Hunk for everyday commuting to college and will ride my baby CBR sometimes or if I go on a "LONG DRIVE" with my "SPECIAL FRIEND"
