    Bike Query Approved

    If you are in a hurry then go for Ninja else wait for Honda and test ride before deciding which one to go for.

    I guess you haven't booked CBR250 yet, in that scenario I don't see you making the cut before June if CBR250 is your final purchase.

      Mods:- We already have enough fights on which of the above two is the best, I am surprised @mods approved this one.

      Requirements:
      Commute 13 kms of TRAFFIC filled PH road.
      @poster:- Looking at your requirements I would advice you to buy a gearless scooter, am not joking.

        Based on your requirements, the CBR250 suits you best. The Ninja has nothing over the CBR inside the city. The only con I can see is the waiting period. The bike is scheduled to launch in April, you may have to wait a couple of months after that.

        If you dont mind spending extra cash and want the bike sooner, Ninja is also good but not as much fun inside the city. Plus its not exactly quiet.

                The CBR is gonna be quieter compared to the ninja for sure. The ninja is a screamer above 6000 rpm.


                My offerings to the gods of speed -

                - KTM Duke 200
                - Yamaha RXZ 5 speed

                  This is another potential thread which could go the other CBR topic way.

                  No one in India has even seen the CBR yet, let alone tried riding it. If you are asking the question, I assume you are going to wait till June/July, so why not ask again when you have some real data to help with your decision?

                  Right now, the answers will be based on speculation, hearsay and anecdotal stuff.

                  If you ask me, in the city, a Honda Dio or TVS Jive is ideal.

                    +1; Gearless scooter

                    Sorry @Noah, I somehow tend to agree with @bprags & @bluevolt; very practical & experienced advice.
                    Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle
                    Awareness + Skill is what keeps you out of harm's way
                    ATGATT + Awareness + Skill means you might Live To Ride another day

                      i would say.. if he had to buy mini bikes.. ?? then he might not have asked for the advice..!! so lets make this simple.. ?? its better to go for the thread comparing the two biggies performnce wise and technical stuff.... rather than making the repetion of all again here . .!!
                      i would say.. wait for some time till cbr arrives.. as then only you will know exactly about the bike .. but if you are in hurry to buy then agree with others go for ninja..??
                      although its better to wait then to regret latter.. since both the bikes belong to different class.. you may find the cbr suits your apetite better than ninja..

                            Go for the ninja.....else let the cbr come and TD it. Dont ever buy a vehicle by just mere reading expert reviews. TD both and decide.

                              Respect to one and all who replied. coming back to my requirements, and AS on date 3rd march 2011 . My head is swinging towards Cbr. But as Bluevolt says

                              we are just Talking about things we see and read on the internet . which does not compare / transilate to what is actually there in the flesh.. The test drive i think is done by westerners/europeans

                              has any Desi bhai done it?

                              Bprags +1 but i need some edge over the ZMas n 220s ..

                              Has any one in chennai booked the cbr? lemme know where you did it and how do u thing the A.S.S would be?

                              thanks again guys.. Respect
