wana Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 115K w ABS 100K w/o ABS..............but there is currently a shortage of stock im told because the floods affected the production of some components or yada yada yada so any excuse to bump the price up for the ones remaining will be capitalised on by anyone who has them in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBR250 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 129 is what I paid last year - minus a measly 1000 and a free jacket and helmet thrown in after playing hardball bargainer. I had to wait 4 weeks for delivery. I notice there are now a few more on shop floors, so maybe not so hard to get a bit more of a discount.

nikster Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'd get a 1 year old CBR if the dealers won't go down... prices are very reasonable, seen them for 80 - 85k with 3,000km on the clock. Given that I'd imagine the price gauging would come to an end now.. but clearly it always depends on supply and demand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strollling Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Something must be wrong with my CBR, I'm past the warranty period (30,000km) and never needed it. Don't think it could be running or feeling better tbh. I wonder what was supposed to have broken. Edited April 19, 2012 by strollling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornichon88 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Oh man, the suspense is killing me. Is it going to implode/explode/melt/eat me/shag the missus? Wotz gonna happen? Don't worry, nothing will happen. Honda is one of the most reliable motorcycle brand. I enjoy my CBR250R a lot in Thailand, I've owned a VF500FII, VFR750F, VFR750 Carat, CBR900 Fireblade 1992 in Europe, and even a Wave 125i for 5 years here in Thailand. Never had the slightest problem with any of these bikes. It's why I bought the CBR 250 R without thinking further. I changed the stock tyres for Pirelli Sport Demon stock size though, the front tire stick to the road even if you brake very hard. After 12'000 km and long rides like th Mae Hong Son loop and visaruns in Mae Sai I'm very happy with it, even if some more HP would be welcomed in the mountain.

strollling Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 ^ Yeah, I've changed to the Sport Demons as well. Great tyre. The little CBR is fantastic in the bends, so light and flickable. I did a tour of the North a few weeks ago. CM-Mae Sariang_Mae Sot is fantastic. Enjoy it up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost like an admission from Honda of how fragile their new bike is... Kawasaki's warranty is 2 year UNLIMITED mileage. Of course, you'll never need it because the Ninjette is an incredibly solid little bike and never breaks. But hey, at least the Honda is CHEAP Let the Good Times ROLL!

strollling Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'm actually not too sure of the warranty tbh. Last time I took the service book out I think it said 30,000km on it.

The CBR250R is not a "sportbike" but many people enjoy it as it allow to ride in some places they will never visit with a Honda click or any other scooter. Can you please give us a break and respect the fun people have riding smaller bikes than you, the guy who know everything. keep posting on big bikes threads. Never thought that some people could have fun riding and enjoying the sceneries ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a need to inquire. God, I hope it doesn't melt now, you've got me worried. Actually the Honda warranty is 5 years or 50,000 km for the engine and 3 years or 30,000 km for frame and body. I love how a few owners out of thousands report problems on a forum and all of a sudden it's a fragile bike. I've got over 10,000 trouble free kms on my CBR and I am very happy with it. The CBR has been out for over a year and I haven't had to put in a single warranty claim for a customer. It is a very well built, durable, and reliable bike.

Much better than the competition. Hopefully Kawa will be able to improve the durability of the rattley ninjette and offer a competitive warranty period. Word is the 2013 ninjette will have a stone sundial for a clock. Let's hope it's solidly constructed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
