I was also on fence between HRC and Red. Finally decided to go for Tri-Colour simply coz its a new colour, and the colour sort of grew on me

. I'm yet to see the tri-colour in person though. Saphire Honda, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore told me that I'm booking #1 over there..

. Delivery date was initially 4th March, which moved to 14th, which in turn was postponed to 19th (as of now). Will update the thread once I have the baby in hand.

I am contemplating getting one for me in this combination.

I was again at the showroom because my RC had some wrong info and needed to have it edited. Sorry, couldn't click a picture as I was in a hurry. Would suggest comparing the HRC and the Red/Black color side by side and then decide. The sales guy was saying that HMSI had promised that the HRC color would look wonderful but folks at the dealer are a bit disappointed with the final product. I should be going there in a weeks time again and would click a picture.

As per the booking recipt, delivery date was 31st March. But verbally, they have given me 3 dates so far.... Latest being 19th March.
Im hoping that they would be able to keep up the latest promise, since I have paid them in full cash...

Passed through dream Honda today. Saw a delivery truck, It had 2 CBRs :-) one they claim was the tri color. Could not see it coz it was packed. :'( asked when would it be taken out. The guy said its not for dream Honda and it was for saffire Honda. Guess it should reach saffire Honda by tomorrow then.

hiran77 · 14th March 2012, 16:31

Latest update! Got to see the tri color finally! Its at Honda saffire head office near pai hotel.looks great..but I wish the blue was a tad darker. However its far better than the single color ones. So I stick to tricolor :-)

Wow! This looks nice but just one picture, do post more in case you have.

The CBR is going to be one jewel of an eye candy on road in this particular color combination.

black12rr · 14th March 2012, 17:14

Some how the tricolor does not look good . I think any bike looks good in one FULL color .Either full blue or full black .Does the tri color has premium price also ?

BANDHAV · 14th March 2012, 17:26

^^Looks are always a subjective matter.

This will retails at a premium of a around 1k over and above the standard black and red color.

People who have racing in their blood find sporty colors more attractive. :-) like bandhav just mentioned its subjective.

This was at the godown/Stockyard. Lotsa bikes piled up and cramped. Dint have a cam too. Clicked it from my mobile. The showroom guys still claim the bike has not yet arrived. I had to tell them that I saw the bike being unloaded from the truck myself. :-P thats when they agreed to show it to me. :-)

What's an explanation!

Though my reason for liking this particular color is simple, this is eye catchy, this is not a normal color and I have always been a fan of this particular HRC color.

PS: I have no racing in my blood, just my blood race in my veins.
