        Hey Guys,

        This is my first post on xbhp...have already found it very very informative...
        I am in big confusion right now..I have been riding my Bajaj Discover 125 since 2006...did over 50000 kms...& now I have already sold my bike...

        I want to upgrade to bigger bike - My choices are P220 & CBR250R...
        I would love to have CBR, but price is a bit high, although I can stretch my budget...P220 is almost half a price & decent performer...
        I stay in Mumbai, & most probably would be relocating in June in city of outside Maharashtra for my job..so I would be taking my bike along..

        I do have a habit of touring over weekends once every couple of months...otherwise my daily commute in city would be on average 30 kms..

        As I have already sold my discover, I am looking for less waiting period while buying a new one now..can't live without riding...

        I am very much novice about big bike engineering...so would be definitely want to learn a lot on xbhp..specially maintaining & repairs part...

        Considering all what I said, What do you suggest P220 or CBR 250R?
        Sorry for long post..
        Welcome to xBhp,

        About your situation, If you can afford go for C250R.....waiting period now a days very less or nil depending upon the color/variant you choose.

        About maintaining & repairs or availability of spares you can follow the CBR's ownership thread to gather a complete knowledge before buying.

        Don't know much about P220's waiting period.....but others may suggest to wait 2012 version of pulsar range.

          i don't think p220 has any waiting period.see you are upgrading from a 125 cc to a 250 cc.isn't that a big leap?anyway if your daily commuting of 30 kms involves city riding most of the time i won't suggest a 250cc[read fuel-guzzler].p220 is overall a good package but as p200 ns has just arrived with more bell and whistles ,i would suggest you to stay away from 220.now you can consider suzuki gs 150 r.great package,recently face-lifted,returns good mileage within city riding.and for the touring part once in a while you have the 6 th gear and rock solid stability at high speed.
          and the question remains why do i race?
          every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

          #i have learnt to manipulate my own adrenaline and the perception of biking is different.
          #overkill is underrated.
          #how random roads may appear there is always a destination.sigpic
          #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road
          (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.

            Absolutely +1 for this advice. IMO, the GS150 is one of the most underrated bikes in the country. Blame Suzuki's shabby marketing skills for that..

              Agreed! If you really need a fully faired bike then you can go for Yamaha R15 or wait for CBR150 keeping in mind cost, fuel efficiency and durability.

              The CBR250 is more of an highway or tourer. It suits perfectly too if you live in small satellite towns and travel around a lot of km.
              I have personally experienced riding the bike in traffic, and riding gets uncofy as you cant change from 1st gear in city traffic jams. CBR250 behaves well after 2nd gear! Its the same with R15, you will get shoulder and wrist/palm pain by the time you get back home riding for an hour in traffic jam!
              There are no short-cuts to any place worth going. So ride safe when you are treading uncharted roads.
