Finally some time to blog about two wheels!
Though I have a series of topic in my head, and some on my phone drafts, I will skip to this hot topic on whether or not the CBR250R is worth the buck?
Well there isn’t a short answer to this one, so may be this blog post would help someone to decide. Read on.
Why should you buy a CBR250R?
1) If this is going to be your ‘big’ bike for some time now.
– Go for it, if you are still stuck at the Indian big bikes waiting for an upgrade. Trust me no Indian manufacturer can bring a CBR killer for the next 10months!
– Go for it, if this is going to be your big sporty bike age wise. That is, if you don’t want to spend more money as of now. Buy it. The trademark Honda reliability would ensure its easy to maintain, and build to last.
– Go for it, if you aren’t really a track addict. Chances are if you are reading this, you aren’t, else you wouldn’t have looked beyond the R15 for sometime.
Why should you NOT buy a CBR250R?
– Don’t buy it, if the idea is to take it to tracks. Its a VFM bike more for a learner but not a track tool. Stick to the R15 for tracks. Or the Ninja 250. But do remember one spill of the Ninja would set you back for atleast a R15s worth. Heck! I would keep a R15, soup it from http://www.raceconcepts.in and keep it as my track tool!
– Don’t buy it, if you already have a Ninja… Its pointless. Comparing these two bikes are futile. Unless you want to use one of them as an everyday tool AND have loads of cash$
– Don’t buy it, if you already have a Pulsar220, Karizma, R15! Duh, stop looking at disbelief. But seriously, there are only two reasons where its logical.
One – if the existing bike is dying.
Two – if this is going to be your last big bike
No point buying the CBR @ 1.5L more for a little more CCs, a single digit BHP increase.
Hold on to the money, buy something bigger – better.
Will add more to the list if I could think more, or if you asked more!
Cheers!
