Honda CBR250RR MC22 Classifieds, Forums and Articles

the rest of the URL is the same.

The above site refers to the baby blade that ceased production in 1996.
The new CBR250R is nothing but a sports tourer bearing more resemblance to the VFR series

As it's my regional language, i can read it and it says something about Honda "CBR 250" & nothing related to the R15

They have written in Tamil that the CBR 250 is coming soon.
On the RHS, FZ is also mentioned.
I still doubt the credibility of this pic.

Please take a note what is written in small on the right hand corner,
YZF-R6 styling cues to embellish R15's looks.

... take a look what all has gone into creating this bike, it is a brilliant piece of machinery... I will leave you with this one last thought... in 1988 Yamaha introduced the FZR 400, which was hailed as the world's best handling bike period. This is a bike that rivals that handling, and you are getting it at a far cheaper price than a R125... where is the so called 'compromise' out here???

I would like to know more about the comparisons that have been undertaken and make you believe that 'this' could rival 'that handling'..

if it was photoshopped then i think they would have clearly mentioned that its a rendered image...the front body closely resembles the spy pics and thats what bugging me...

Look closely at the right hand side of the pic which states 'Computer Generated Image'.

Got to hear from a member in the Yamaha supply chain (I'm sorry I can't be more specific) that the new R15 will come with a bigger heart (hence it won't be an R15) and will come by Feb-Mar 2011.
Yamaha will also introduce a scooter, and are currently deciding between 2 models. The scooters will be powerful & will be equipped with disc brakes. IIRC, the names of the 2 scooters are Nio & BTW (or something like that).

^^ this will be a more reasonable move...also justifies the extensive testing and delay..IF it is true...
But whats with all the claim about a "fat free design" which they used to make back when they released the R15...they said that the bike was just built for a 150cc engine with no intention or ??possibility of a bigger heart transplant in the future..all that was BS?? or are they totally altering/upgrading the framework for a bigger engine which is quite not that easy/fast a process....
may be its just the same engine tuned a little for more pull and power...

How about this... my personal experience... about 10,000 kms on a California spec FZR 400 and about 9,000 kms on a R15... good enough???
