Toon Anime Yes if you consider as a touring point of view and compare it with the other 250cc motorcycles available in our market right now, it does make sense.
Subhashis Thakur it does make sense bro. Consider the ktm 200 s.. The duke is in ths same price range.. The rc being more expensive. The cbr outruns both of em in terms of perfomance reliability ride ability even though its not that great on corners as compared to the rc.. But its worth the 1.8 lacs u spent on the non abs. Eventhough i admit that the abs is a bit over priced
Biker Buddy Motovlogs Yes and RCs are too aggressive for touring, and even if I consider Duke 250 as a tourer, it doesn't even come with ABS. So in that sense CBR is still a nice choice.

Whatever you said is absolutely right recently went on a tour about 500 km one side, it was an amazing experience yet again. I cruised around 130 kmph, no vibrations, no wind blast, suspension impeccable I went over couple of unexpected craters bike was rock solid and brakes gives you so much confidence just a light touch even at high speed it slows down instantly and in a very controlled manner overall wonderful bike. ( I own a 3rd hand 2011 abs model clocked around 70k km but still in great shape)!!!!!
No offence bro but vada pav is cheap and biryani is expensive...though both can fill your belly..but whats good in the long run...i mean its a Honda.Platina is also a rebranded kawasaki boxer i guess...
Hi Buddy, I like to way you break down all the important details of the bike and give a detailed and honest review of it.. also you use the comparison with other bikes actually help to understand difference between both of them quality wise, durability and Maintaining cost as well.. just superb.. Thank you so much for the lovely video for such a Charming Honda CBR 250R.. 👍👍🏍
Sumeet Gaikwad The LED headlamp is bright enough!! High beam is also usable on highways or on long tours. I have no clue whether it can be fit in older CBR...
T.W.O. Two Wheels Only this bike looks amazing i am very happy that nothing has changed in this bike besides the colours and bsIV it looks gorgeous ilooks way cooler than rc 200 love cbr250r 😘😍😍😘
I love the yellow colour.also did the test rideof this 250 for the first time and I am damn sure that I will buy it within one month.many thanks for your review.I am glad that u gave a beautiful reiew.thanks
Another nice review, Strell. Only exception I would note is your comment about the CBR250R not having good low-end torque. Coming from a Ninja250R, I love the low-end torque on this bike. Starting from a dead stop it pulls effortlessly and in that regard it's very beginner friendly. I'm one of those guys who's owned a 2011 CBR250R for 8 years now and in all that time I haven't had even a hint of a problem mechanically. It's easily the best bike I've ever owned. I'm seriously considering a Ninja 400 these days, but if the Ninja's twin doesn't have at least as much torque as the CBR's single, I'll probably hang on to my CBR for a couple more years. It's still just as much fun as the day I got it.
I'm 6'1" with a 34" inseam. My favorite bikes were always Yamahas and I really thought the R3 would be my next bike when it was introduced. Then I sat on one at the dealership. It felt diminutive even in comparison with the CBR250R, which despite my size fits me extremely well. I also didn't like the feeling of sitting "in" the R3 rather than "on" it with it's high tank and low seat. Technically it's a marvel, but it just doesn't fit me at all and that was a crushing disappointment. I'm hoping the Ninja 400 with the optional higher seat will fit me even better than the CBR, although I'm concerned about the forward "slope" of the seat, which I absolutely HATED on my Ninja250R and was one big reason I traded it in for the CBR. I believe the Ninja 400 is a lot more expensive in India. Here in the US it's the exact same price as the Ninja 300 and quite the bargain at only $5000.
Noted. I haven't tried any of those bikes, so I guess it's a case of ignorance is bliss. Coming off a Ninja250R with it's twin cylinders and ridiculously short 1st and 2nd gears, the CBR250R's single cylinder engine really feels torquey as all get-out to this rider.
1.5 lakh is a small number for cbr. it should go beyond 2 or even 3 lakh with normal maintenance. I have seen pulsar with 1.14 lakh even without proper timely maintenance
After booking RR 310 in Dec last year, I am now going ahead with CBR 250R in lieu of it and your videos of both bikes have really helped me make this decision. Reasons: - Insanely long waiting period, +Finest Engine refinement, +longevity, +pillion comfort and upto some extent +seat height as my height is just less than 5.5. Also I would probably be investing saved 15K on better helmet/gear.. Keep up the good work!
I rides my Cbr around 75000km still I need to ride more Km. Many bikes comes and go lyk Bajaj dominor Nd Apache 310rr and more. But Cbr 250r braking is good. Good pillion comfort. Good engine refinement. Aswome sport touring motorcycle. Very thing is good. If u go for Bajaj dominor it don’t have more handling braking s not much also like Cbr . 310rr Apache pillion comfort s not good. Any thing less. So Cbr wins in all round.
Good review dude, those two magical specs mentioned is true and All in all good option to go for.. your genuine experience lead me to own this bike.. and i am completely satisfied with CBR 250R ABS model. More over Honda is Honda..👍 Thanks..
Thank you so much for covering every single aspect of the motorcycle in a single video. It was so helpful. I can say that from the way you portrayed, you've loved this bike from deep down your heart. Kudos. You did a great job.
Hey man... It's always please watching your content and info.... Really enjoy it... I wanted to know what do you mean by when you said stressing on touring, DOMINAR is choice one should go for... Cz I have a major confusion between buying cbr or doninar for 70%city n 30% touring.... Your comments would be worth knowing... Thank you
I am discussing the same with my technician. If the wiring fits, yes it possible. Or we could work out on that. But need to check on the price Honda quote for this head light assembly.
India's best "Do it All" sports bike. And sales figure dont lie. CBR 250R is kicking the backside of much vaulted over-hyped vibrator RR310 in sales figure month after month.
Didi you noticed any difference from bs3 engine, because 90% of the reviews out there are of bs3 and I've heard some negative reviews about bs4 so can you clarify that, and also can we increase the performance like bs3 if we used bs3 ecu or any other small mods? Please answer i would be thankful!
A very detailed and informative review. Good information in simple words. Even I have a friend who has done more than 1.5L kms. And am myself using a unicorn since 2008 and done 85k kms. Honda is extremely reliable and long run bikes. Only downside if we wanna mention would be less exciting ride which other bikes give. You need to be patient and cool to ride Honda bikes. Specially CBR 150/250 and unicorn (no comments about sports bikes like CBR 650f and all)
Hey Strell. Great review. The excitement with which you described your experience with the bike speaks volumes about the honesty of it. Kudos to you. I know i'm late to the party but like they say better late than never. Cheers. ✌️
Hey brother, awesome video. I need your suggestion. Am planning to buy a bike. Confused btw Gixxer 250 brand new one and cbr 250r 2019 abs model 6k on the odo for 1.3L. am 6ft height with 85kgs. Your suggestion helps me a lot. Thank you...
Hi I'm Kaushik of 24yrs, I live in bangalore and I'm planning to buy a bike, I do short commutes like 7km within the city to office, I want a touring bike with good handling, comfortable saddle, around 30kmpl mileage with a very refined and reliable engine. I'm thinking of the bajaj 2019 dominar or the CBR 250r, budget is around 2lakh, slightly flexible with the budget, I did a test drive with both and I did like CBR more than the dominar in terms of handling , but I liked the dominar for many things like the power, slipper clutch, relaxed seating position, I have mixed opinion in choosing one over the other, but I will own this for a very long period and reliability is also a consoderation for me, so I'm slightly leaning towards the CBR, because of this, I feel the CBR is overpriced when compared with the dominar in terms of specs, around 20k more than the dominar, there's a lot of talk on the slow of automobile sales and the introduction of BS 6 vehicles and fuel in 2020, I'm not expecting the bikes to go dirt cheap during this period like the last time when BS 4 was introduced as manufacturers and dealers would have learnt their lesson, but since the CBR sales are low, Do u think I can get this bike a bit cheap during this period, what is your opinion on my thought process and what is your suggestion, Looking forward to hear from you.
From the day I start riding bike , I have no confusion about which bike will be my future bike because CBR 250 r was in the market, at the time when I am capable buying it ,CBR had gone forever from market😭😭😭,
Gourav Mandal I would like to have your opinion whether I should go for cbr 250r or dominar 400, this would be my first bike and I'm just a beginner. I'll mostly use bike for city commute and few short rides. My priorities would be comfort and reliability ,so as per your experience which bike should I go with ?
Yash Desai suggestion is not go with cbr.. Cuz spare parts availability is very tough job.. Even disk pads not available on time & if you order it any service center they will take almost 3months... This is my experience in kolkata...
Everything you said is right it's the best bike in the segment but abs model braking is not so good compared to Bajaj dominor. We can use it as daily commuter and also as highway tourer. But spare parts are expensive. Most comfortable bike in segment all day we can ride 120 to 140kmph comfortably i bought old second hand 2013 model it's best.
About the tyre part, I totally agree. The stock Contigo is too slippery for rainy days, and the dry grip is just satisfactory. Michelin Pilot Street Radial tyres has best value in term of all weather performance (wet+dry). I have done 130 km/h in moderate rain with those tyres. But for ripping the curves of Nandi Hills, I prefer the Metzeler Sportec M5. That’s the best tyre in the Indian market
Iam using cbr since four years I've driven 25k kms around the bike was very good and engine was very smooth but crank sound is coming on high speeds i have asked service advisor and he said that is common for all cbr bikes can u notice that while u riding on high speeds
I like the way you reviewed A person who owns a bike and is a bike enthusiast can say better about that bike. Your review contains all the things one should consider before buying a motorcycle like the Engine, comfort, practicality, service cost, built quality etc. Nice Job
I need your help. My budget it around 3.5 lakhs. I am confused btw CBR 250 BMW 310 gs KTM Duke 390 Apache RR 310 Yamaha R3. I am owner of Honda unicorn 160 2015. I want a touring bike with a luggage carrying capacity and with pellion comfort !!
Lets calculate like this, Touring => Eliminate KTM 390. Not so comfortable for rider or pillion, unless you modify. Luggage capacity => Eliminate RR310 and CBR You have BMW 310, it could carry luggage and have a nice riding experience. You pillion also will be happy :) Ping me over my instagram or facebook if you dont get my reply here :)
As they say, "Quality comes at a price."😎 And 1.63 lacs ex-showroom for a full faired racer replica bike is justified, IMO. Even RC200 without ABS costs around 1.75 ex-showroom
Pramathew Yayawar I meant that this bike was in the market with same design (not other than some cosmetic changes. 2018 model looks much better now) for a long long years (6-7years). So Honda should update this bike with major changes. Then it can justify that price. But there isn't that much options in this 250cc category. So CBR is the winner.
Bro I am a college student , I like sporty and very good handling machines . I was in low budget so found one deal in olx ... For 66k which ran 31,000km in 7 years... Looks little scrached and the distance covered feels fake .... Should I give it a short?
Well, that was seriously amazing review.. well done🤘 But i have 2 questions.. 1) I'm jst 5'4" is it sufficient or do i have to take more efforts to control? 2) I've seen many 2018 models in red and yellow color in my city bt I personally liked the matt grey one so will it take some extra cost for that color like R15 special edition does more for graphics?
I am using ns200 and clocked 1lak km . Till now no problem nothing.. we should not underestimate Bajaj. Dominor is also superb bike and best buy in today's market.
Never buying a Indian brand again worst experience with Bajaj rs200 more my bike is in service station Dan wit me nearly spent 50k roughly in 10 months repairing this that every alternate week have 2 visit the service station for battery engine oil leakage coolant wat not fuck..
I have my friends who keep on going on abut how the CBR is overpriced and that it doesn't have that much power for a 250cc (one of my friend owns a Duke 250) etc...........but to be honest I think this bike would suit me very much..........it's Honda which means it will last till the end of the century literally.......super smooth engine, clutch & gearbox......enough grunt to keep up the pace in our cities and highway.......very comfortable seating.....and unlike the KTM it doesn't heat up......I luv the KTM.....but I think this one suits me more......mind you I really am crossed with Honda for keeping minimal changes with the design.....they could hav changed the fairing or bring in the 300R......ride safe
Neeraj Chelat KTM RC200 without ABS costs 15k more than standard variant of CBR250R. So how is CBR overpriced? Also reliability of KTMs is not considered good. CBRs reliability is well known. I think buying CBR still makes a lot of sense. Go for it dude👍
Hello Dear, I am Subhadip Chakraborty, I am a Doctor. I am regular viewer of your video, your every video is practical and useful. I have a question to you. I am confused about taking a bike, Models are1. Honda CBR 250r 2. Bajaj Dominar 400 2019. Which model will be reliable for long term use? Being a CBR250 owner Please help me to choose best one between two model. waiting for your reply.
If you are just looking for reliability, CBR scores there. I can see many CBR owners after 8 years of usage. Honda is brilliant in that. If you want power, then you should consider Dominar.

Service cost during this period 🤨

This is the best review i came accross about cbr250.. Good work👌🏻👍🏻

Hi I’m planning to buy a second hand cbr 250 r !...
At what km u bought the bike and for how much ?...
Even platinas are capable of doing 1.5lakh kms.. A DOHC Honda doing 1.5lakhs is no big deal.. If maintained normally
Road Trimmer True !
Road Trimmer But again, Platina has a motor designed by Kawasaki.
i have also seen platina going 2lac kilometers
@@xplorographer6334 Incorrect. It was built by Bajaj.
No offence bro but vada pav is cheap and biryani is expensive...though both can fill your belly..but whats good in the long run...i mean its a Honda.Platina is also a rebranded kawasaki boxer i guess...
Watching this in Jan 1 2020. 💝 Cbr
കൊള്ളാം!!!
Nanni 😊
Yellow was not that great when i first saw it but then now it looks good
Hi Buddy, I like to way you break down all the important details of the bike and give a detailed and honest review of it.. also you use the comparison with other bikes actually help to understand difference between both of them quality wise, durability and Maintaining cost as well.. just superb.. Thank you so much for the lovely video for such a Charming Honda CBR 250R.. 👍👍🏍
It is the perfect video where i had cleared my all adoubts of new cbr 250r
I had booked .. will get in 2 weeks
Congratulations!
Which colour?
Gaurang Gupta sports red
Gokul Rkz
That looks the best!!
I have matte with striking green!
Gaurang Gupta how's the led setup and beam spread? Also can we fit these headlamp on older model?
Sumeet Gaikwad
The LED headlamp is bright enough!!
High beam is also usable on highways or on long tours.
I have no clue whether it can be fit in older CBR...
Except for the Banana color, the graphic updates look nice. (I still feel Honda India shouldn't have bought back the same bike)
T.W.O. Two Wheels Only this bike looks amazing i am very happy that nothing has changed in this bike besides the colours and bsIV it looks gorgeous ilooks way cooler than rc 200 love cbr250r 😘😍😍😘
Well new colors and graphics sucks old ones were beautiful 😍..
Bike actually looks sexy in plain Colors
Yes new cour and graphics sucks . But the design of this bike is the king ....!! Stylish attractive design!!
No actually this colour is better in reality. Videos don't do justice.
I love the yellow colour.also did the test rideof this 250 for the first time and I am damn sure that I will buy it within one month.many thanks for your review.I am glad that u gave a beautiful reiew.thanks

Great to hear it from you 😊. The low end torque loss started feeling after rising the duke250, dominar and other bikes in segment 😊.
Ninja 400 is a rip off. R3 makes a much stronger case.
I'm 6'1" with a 34" inseam. My favorite bikes were always Yamahas and I really thought the R3 would be my next bike when it was introduced. Then I sat on one at the dealership. It felt diminutive even in comparison with the CBR250R, which despite my size fits me extremely well.

Wayne Morris
Why not look for CBR500R?
Also in my personal opinion CBR650F is a proper upgrade over CBR250R. Dont you think so?
1.5 lakh is a small number for cbr. it should go beyond 2 or even 3 lakh with normal maintenance. I have seen pulsar with 1.14 lakh even without proper timely maintenance
After booking RR 310 in Dec last year, I am now going ahead with CBR 250R in lieu of it and your videos of both bikes have really helped me make this decision.
Reasons: - Insanely long waiting period, +Finest Engine refinement, +longevity, +pillion comfort and upto some extent +seat height as my height is just less than 5.5. Also I would probably be investing saved 15K on better helmet/gear..
Keep up the good work!
Congratulation for new ride :) Ride safe.
Abhijeet Pore
Congrats bro👍
You are about to buy the best VERSATILE "do it all" supersport bike. Superb and smart decision I think.☺
Tyre life for conti is only 6 or 7 km
No matter if pillion is Lean or Fluffy.. 😂😂 I like your use of Adjectives man.
Hats off for your efforts. Very nice review
I rides my Cbr around 75000km still I need to ride more Km. Many bikes comes and go lyk Bajaj dominor Nd Apache 310rr and more. But Cbr 250r braking is good. Good pillion comfort. Good engine refinement. Aswome sport touring motorcycle. Very thing is good. If u go for Bajaj dominor it don’t have more handling braking s not much also like Cbr . 310rr Apache pillion comfort s not good. Any thing less. So Cbr wins in all round.
An extremely reliable motorcycle that belongs to the mythological era. BTW good to see you again Strell.
Good review dude, those two magical specs mentioned is true and All in all good option to go for.. your genuine experience lead me to own this bike.. and i am completely satisfied with CBR 250R ABS model. More over Honda is Honda..👍
Thanks..

Anyone in 2024 ?
awesome review. good work
Nice video 😊👍🏻. I have been using cbr 250r since 2012 and I get about 26kmpl. Expecting over 30kmpl is too much😄
Thank you so much for covering every single aspect of the motorcycle in a single video. It was so helpful. I can say that from the way you portrayed, you've loved this bike from deep down your heart. Kudos. You did a great job.
Hey man... It's always please watching your content and info.... Really enjoy it...

Hey can you ping me in my Facebook or Instagram. I don't get email notification for follow up comments. Let's chat. It's a long topic 😁
Hi strell ,what about CBR 150 r, its good or bad?
Love😊 pure heart words 👌 love you so much brother👍
This year I can't buy this bike....But 2019 January am extremely excited for this bike....HONDA IS HONDA DUDE....THE PURE ONE HEART HONDA😘😘😘

Bro please tell which brand is more reliable & refined YAMAHA or HONDA?
Can we install these headlight to our old CBR 250 I have 2012 model
I am discussing the same with my technician. If the wiring fits, yes it possible. Or we could work out on that. But need to check on the price Honda quote for this head light assembly.
India's best "Do it All" sports bike.
And sales figure dont lie. CBR 250R is kicking the backside of much vaulted over-hyped vibrator RR310 in sales figure month after month.

Woah Strell AGV helmet? Nice!
Hi brother. What you will prefer over Duke 200 ABS , Dominor ABS and Cbr 250 r ABS ?
A very detailed and informative review. Good information in simple words. Even I have a friend who has done more than 1.5L kms. And am myself using a unicorn since 2008 and done 85k kms.

What about now..Will it be possible to get all parts in future..As it's discontinue

Are you happy with the decision??

Yash Desai go for cbr250r if u want it for long term use
sojan k reji absolutely yes
Yash Desai suggestion is not go with cbr.. Cuz spare parts availability is very tough job.. Even disk pads not available on time & if you order it any service center they will take almost 3months... This is my experience in kolkata...
2.4 lakh's!!! . Man that's too much. Honda should replace their Abs with bosh ligjt as it alot more cheaper.
Everything you said is right it's the best bike in the segment but abs model braking is not so good compared to Bajaj dominor. We can use it as daily commuter and also as highway tourer. But spare parts are expensive. Most comfortable bike in segment all day we can ride 120 to 140kmph comfortably i bought old second hand 2013 model it's best.
Any news about cbr250r BS6 launch date?
Cbr 150 ko abs add kr reluach
Karo bhai
Bro I am planning to buy used 2011 cbr250 r model 24000km riddden. Seller is offering 55k . Please suggest me is it worth to buy around 45-50k.
All they needed to do was to launch the twin lamp model...this was honestly a bit sloppy from HONDA
Hi Strell iam planning to buy cbr 250 2018 showroom registered bike is it worth to buy. In case if I buy spears will available or not plz help
About the tyre part, I totally agree. The stock Contigo is too slippery for rainy days, and the dry grip is just satisfactory. Michelin Pilot Street Radial tyres has best value in term of all weather performance (wet+dry). I have done 130 km/h in moderate rain with those tyres. But for ripping the curves of Nandi Hills, I prefer the Metzeler Sportec M5. That’s the best tyre in the Indian market
Street Rossi
And now thanks to new R3, these tyres are available in CBRs stock size,i.e., 140/70 R17😁
Try ceat zoom. Great value for money.
apache rtr200 2.0 is best or CBR is best ???
Iam using cbr since four years I've driven 25k kms around the bike was very good and engine was very smooth but crank sound is coming on high speeds i have asked service advisor and he said that is common for all cbr bikes can u notice that while u riding on high speeds
Don't like the new colors. I kind of wanted the old red colored one that you own or the repsol edition.
Siddharth Patnaik u can strip the stickers in new red color to get his cbr color
I like the way you reviewed
A person who owns a bike and is a bike enthusiast can say better about that bike.
Your review contains all the things one should consider before buying a motorcycle like the Engine, comfort, practicality, service cost, built quality etc.
Nice Job
Best dialogue in this video is during vibration part , " I don't want to quote about it " 😜😜😜🤣🤪🤪
People say CBR is a flop bike in India
But, its actually the best bike in India
What's the price of the clutch plates and sprocket if any one can guide me in this regards ??
I need your help. My budget it around 3.5 lakhs. I am confused btw CBR 250 BMW 310 gs KTM Duke 390 Apache RR 310 Yamaha R3. I am owner of Honda unicorn 160 2015. I want a touring bike with a luggage carrying capacity and with pellion comfort !!
Lets calculate like this,
Touring => Eliminate KTM 390. Not so comfortable for rider or pillion, unless you modify.
Luggage capacity => Eliminate RR310 and CBR
You have BMW 310, it could carry luggage and have a nice riding experience. You pillion also will be happy :)
Ping me over my instagram or facebook if you dont get my reply here :)
Thank you so much dear God bless you keep progressing !! Bye tc

Dude you deserve more subscribers than you currently have. You reviews are very detailed and are extremely good. Keep up the good work 🤘
How much ml of fork oil is ideal in the CBR 250r.
Even now it is the best all-rounder. But in this age its price is on the upper side by a little.
As they say, "Quality comes at a price."😎
And 1.63 lacs ex-showroom for a full faired racer replica bike is justified, IMO. Even RC200 without ABS costs around 1.75 ex-showroom

I meant that this bike was in the market with same design (not other than some cosmetic changes. 2018 model looks much better now) for a long long years (6-7years). So Honda should update this bike with major changes. Then it can justify that price. But there isn't that much options in this 250cc category. So CBR is the winner.
Well said bro👍
Thanks man.
Have been waiting for your review.
The "Simran" part was a nice one :V
Really appreciate and love your work
New honda cbr 150r 2016 version showroom me milega kya avi v?
Good review bud. Keep it up
Brother, how many bikes of you???
Strell do a video on engine running period or how to maintain a new bike untill first service
please make it
and we can say a good review, thank you
Bro I am a college student , I like sporty and very good handling machines . I was in low budget so found one deal in olx ... For 66k which ran 31,000km in 7 years... Looks little scrached and the distance covered feels fake .... Should I give it a short?
Well, that was seriously amazing review.. well done🤘
But i have 2 questions..
1) I'm jst 5'4" is it sufficient or do i have to take more efforts to control?
2) I've seen many 2018 models in red and yellow color in my city bt I personally liked the matt grey one so will it take some extra cost for that color like R15 special edition does more for graphics?
That height won't be a problem. You will be able to ride it without any issues. And I don't think there is a price difference for colours for 250r
Appreciate.. thanks strell
I am using ns200 and clocked 1lak km . Till now no problem nothing.. we should not underestimate Bajaj. Dominor is also superb bike and best buy in today's market.
Never buying a Indian brand again worst experience with Bajaj rs200 more my bike is in service station Dan wit me nearly spent 50k roughly in 10 months repairing this that every alternate week have 2 visit the service station for battery engine oil leakage coolant wat not fuck..

മലയാളം ആണ് കാണാനും കേൾക്കാനും പൊളി... വീഡിയോസ് കണ്ട് ഞാനും ഒരു cbr fan ആയി... മിക്കവാറും എടുക്കും..
I have my friends who keep on going on abut how the CBR is overpriced and that it doesn't have that much power for a 250cc (one of my friend owns a Duke 250) etc...........but to be honest I think this bike would suit me very much..........it's Honda which means it will last till the end of the century literally.......super smooth engine, clutch & gearbox......enough grunt to keep up the pace in our cities and highway.......very comfortable seating.....and unlike the KTM it doesn't heat up......I luv the KTM.....but I think this one suits me more......mind you I really am crossed with Honda for keeping minimal changes with the design.....they could hav changed the fairing or bring in the 300R......ride safe

KTM RC200 without ABS costs 15k more than standard variant of CBR250R. So how is CBR overpriced?
Also reliability of KTMs is not considered good. CBRs reliability is well known.
I think buying CBR still makes a lot of sense. Go for it dude👍
Which colour will be best and eye catchy bro....Yellow or Racing Red
Can i install 250R Facelift on my 150R ??? please help...
It's lovely
Hello Dear, I am Subhadip Chakraborty, I am a Doctor. I am regular viewer of your video, your every video is practical and useful. I have a question to you. I am confused about taking a bike, Models are1. Honda CBR 250r 2. Bajaj Dominar 400 2019. Which model will be reliable for long term use? Being a CBR250 owner Please help me to choose best one between two model. waiting for your reply.
If you are just looking for reliability, CBR scores there. I can see many CBR owners after 8 years of usage. Honda is brilliant in that. If you want power, then you should consider Dominar.
@@iamstrell Thanks dear.
Can this headlight can be install to old cbr 250r ? Plz answer
I have done that. Hope this helps.
