Yet another report with an expected pricing of 6-6.5.Hmmm..the wait continues...

There are numerous reports that Honda has started road-testing the bike in and around the Delhi NCR region. Couldn't find a scoop pic though!

Ooh. The wait is getting unbearable. I think I'll start shopping for a new lid

6.5 lakhs for an inline four is a dream come true for bike enthusiasts but i seriously doubt about the quality.morover march 2015 seems too early as no test mules have been spotted till now.I really wish this bike to posses some character which is lacking in almost all the honda bikes.

@goandude - I was hoping nobody would spot that

I've been a silent observer every now and then. Thought i'll contribute for a change.

Below is a link which talks about the bike being spotted on NCR roads.

Can some one confirm this ?

Yeah saw posts in the CBR group as well. Please, please, good pricing Honda please.

Just saw it in FB! Searched all the reputed(?) automotive portals for a news, but could'nt find one! And all the audience of the ceremony seem to be Indians! I think this could very well be a dealer's meet!

Rumour has it that HMSI is planning a 7 Lakh price range for this. So, that could be Z800 territory but still the cheapest fully faired I-4!

Lolz !!! Same set of pics circulating on FB page brought me to this thread.

Spoke to Honda Wings Delhi, they don't have any official confirmation regarding any launch till now. Seems like wait is inevitable, March seems most likely the month of launch. Just dying to have a first look in flesh.

Rachit.K.Dogra · 3rd February 2015, 23:15

Oh Boy. Finally my one year long wait is coming closer to an end. I am just hoping that this means the bike is closer to getting launched. Keeping my fingers crossed..

Honda has a big media event today. They are launching quite a few vehicle today. Activa 3G, New Dio and maybe new Aviator too. The pics on FB are reportedly from the practice session of today's event. There are six vehicles on the stage. The three unknown vehicles are rumored to be the CBR650F, the new CBR150 and the new CBR250. Hopefully we will get confirmed news in a few hours.

In a mega official unveiling, HMSI took the cover off the much awaited and highly anticipated high bandwidth Activa 3G, a repainted Dio and a Shine with more deformed plastics!

April came a bit earlier this year!

naveenroy · 4th February 2015, 14:27

Bleh, what a damp squib! No words.

So we carry on our wait....

So no CBRs ??? Huh, what a waiting they are making us do.
High time Honda pulls up and starts competing aggressively in the Big bike category. CBR250 is the last they have/had, new ones are required.
Guess they are competing with Yamaha in being as late as possible to launch big bikes.

Chill

They did say they would introduce 15 bikes/scooters this year ( was 10 as per initial plans). These would include facelift etc of current models but I see this as a positive one..
