    Brakes are definitely better on CBR250 than p220f but non abs version feels a little bit spongy compared to other bikes like R15, FZ. Go for ABS model if possible.

    Test drives are not available in most showrooms. Non abs is available at 1.85L on road while ABS is available at 2.15L on road

    I have a CBR250R ABS model and i get 32-33kpl in city with short bursts of acceleration (4000-9000rpm) and 37kpl on highway (a couple of top speed runs included)

      The projectors, the Leds, the graphics, the attractive speedo. I said its for the youth with great poservalue. Our CBR might look outdated to some.

        Honda designs always suck. Even pulsar 150 has LED tail light, and here I have to purchase 20₹ bulb every year for my cbr250 tail.

        But I have to choose between CBR and pulsar rs200, it will be cbr250 again. No unnecessary attention, just a fast, reliable performer. Quiet enough to avoid getting speed gunned. Fast enough to beat all 200's. Agile enough to go through a gap a TVS 50 can. Cool enough to never overheat in 3 years of Chennai traffic.

        Max speed : 154 kmph*
        Max mileage : 49.7 kmpl*

        * Speed test not done on public roads

        * Mileage test done with normal petrol and keeping speeds at 70kmph/4000-4500rpm.

              Hi bro I have limited budget. So I con't buy cbr abs version. Hence I'm asking about non-abs version braking performance.

                Yes you can adjust the headlamp vertical aim. Just takes a screwdriver for CBR. No need to remove any parts. You can change the bulb itself, to osram or Phillips. Its H4 60/55w.


                About mileage, any 200-250cc bike including cbr250 will give u 40 mileage if you stick to 70-80 on highway.

                  You can change to Cyclops LED like a lot of users here have done. If budget is a concern there are Aliexpress stuff which work ... but gets mixed reactions on how it works.

                  As for the outdated design ... yes something released in 6 years ago and has been longer on road as compared to the RS which is more recently launched, will feel so because you have been looking at it longer.

                  Personal opinion is that the CBR looks classy on any day compared to the RS200's styling which is all over the place. There is quality in the product that you can feel and the RS200 felt flimsy.

                  As for braking ... I would suggest spend that extra money and get the ABS version. Its a safety feature which shouldn't be skipped. I would strongly advise on that.

                  My understanding is that you are looking at full faired models only .... else I would have also suggested you look at the Mojo as well.
                  When I'm on the road, I'm indestructible. No one can stop me... but they try.

                    braking is good in NON-ABS too . on par with bajaj. and if you plan to keep the bike for long run do not think beyond CBR. easy to maintain and a reliable machine.
                    however if CBR is coming with continentals even now you might have to move to better tyres.

                    continentals are shitty.

                    all motorcycles in market come with same 55/60 watts bulb unless its projector setup. and CBR has far better headlight even at stock compared to other motorcycles.

                    you can move from stock honda bulb to Osram NB else phlips Extreme vision.

                    else HID + projector

                    else LED based setup.

                        You will have to define faster brother .... and even if one is faster than another, it will not be any such that it makes a difference in real world.

                        But hope this helps ... not exactly the RS200 but still hope it helps.

                          Thanks bro new cbr has more bhp than older one nearly 27bhp.. actually i won't ride more than 100kmph.. Today i rode rs200 and i felt engine is little bit gruff and and loud noise in engine.. Pick up is good.. but i think after 1 year performance will be gone .. Because i am using pulsar 180 which is 2 years back. Now it became like a scrap.. engine smoothness and power almost gone, loud sound and heating issues in engine.. i ridden p220 few days. after 3 services performance and smoothness of the engine almost decreased. So i am thinking a lot to buy RS .

                            Hello. I would suggest you to choose pulsar rs 200. In almost 65% amount as compared to that of cbr 250 you will get proper lightings, latest curves, a trustworthy engine that makes a top speed of around 160+ while cbr goes around 172 with additional 50cc. Both bikes are superb in control but cbr lacks in lighting, milaege, looks, economy and number of asc's available as compared to that of bajaj. In simple words it does not deserves that extra 50-60 thousand to be shredded from your pocket. You are going to get a multispark fuel-injected abs feature in pulsar rs as well.

                              I would suggest you to spend that extra cash that you save on pulsar rs 200 on riding gears. You need to look comparitively edgy and stay more safe using those kits.

                              All the best for your new buddy..

                                I am still using pulsar 150 ug 4.5 and it's been almost 5 years since I have raced the hell out of engine and also did stunts. The beast still clocks 130 kmph easily, no change in sound just got tires changed twice. There might be some other maintenance issue with your pulsar.
