    really, are you serious, it's not overpriced then. If high speed stability alone decides it's worth, P220 got more top speed than CBR150 and is priced a good 50k below CBR150. R15 also does same, but it costs less than CBR150 and got all the bells & whistles.
    lol... Then i guess even you think Ninja is overpriced !!

    I won't compare CBR with R15, becuase CBR lacks few features on those terms??
    People consider CBR as sports segment, But P220 is not in sports segment, please correct me??
    But do you think P22o is as stable as CBR on 130+kmph??
    Do you think P220 is liquid cool.
    Do you think, P220 have more better techs as comapre to CBR150 ??
    And one more thing, Honda has always prices it's product little over others in same range, so it was obvious that even CBR will come to that cost!!

    Infact I think CBR should come atleast 5-8K less then R15 but it's vice versa, i guess just because of it's comfortable riding posture and more top end over R15. I still feel R15 is more faster then CBR but on top end yes it might be less!!
    So Actually it's our own views to see that which product is costly or not!!
    Same is with Alto and EON 1000cc Vs mere 800cc!! Maruti Vs Hyundai!!

    No more debate from my side over this!!

      What about CBR 150 Sports Bike Look ? Light weight ? Handling ? Its not for Bugdet performer but for Sports lover a bike for beginner ...

      6 speed gear box gives very smooth ride with good stability at any speed.

      its son of VFR1200F its made for Sports & Long tours ..

      Though p220 simply is in better segment then CBR 150 ... as in power it self is major factor here & yes top end speed too...

        Guess you didn't get what I was pointing to.. top speed is not a criteria to justify price, which is what you were doing. Capability is not just top speed! R15 got all that CBR has got and more, there isn't much difference between them. A bike that doesn't even have a pass light switch costing over 1 lakh is certainly terribly over priced. Was comparing P220 just to highlight what you were doing, even P200NS comes below 1 lakh, which is well equipped (but for FI & fairing). The day Bajaj decides to launch a faired version of P200, CBR150 will be dead, just like P135LS killed Stunner. Forget segments in India, manufacturers just make a mockery of them and anyway there are not many people who go by segments. All that matters is money, looks & brand, very few people consider performance, even fewer actually evaluate it before buying and I guess mostly they will be on xbhp

          No bro, not only top speed, but a faired and Honda badge with FI was my point!!

                CBR 150 will be good for highway but still it will lack the torquey feel of the other two inside city.
                DUKE is meant to be ridden hard and it turns heads too thanks to that exhaust rumble!and its one of worst bike(personal opinion) for speeds above 100 as the seating position doesnt provide the much required confidence.
                Test drive both and you decide whether city hooliganism(DUKE) or weekend fun(cbr 150).
