To the OP; I don't know of anybody from Chennai active on this forum at present, though there may be some. Over on
Honda cbr250r Forums you will find more people from India, including some from Chennai.
@ spdklls: I thought you weren't going to respond to anything I posted, but then you didn't mention any names, so I can only guess what inspired your little rant. Did I knock the object of your passion or something? Has anybody in this thread?
No, I don't have a Honda 250 right now. I did have an earlier incarnation, which I toured on quite a bit, as well as using it for day to day transport for a few years. Same for the couple of Honda 350s, among other bikes I have owned over several years.
Unlike some, I tend to ride when I go somewhere to do something........ not for something to do because I am bored. I enjoy riding, but I don't love my bikes. They are just inanimate heaps of metal and plastic that serve my needs; some are better than others.
I have a bike that suits me for now, but like Adithan, I will likely be in the market for a bike, albeit later in the year. The information here interests me, and some of the members of the forum amuse me. If that makes me a jerk, so be it.
I am pleased to see the revival of the quarter litre class. At the moment, the CBR250R looks to be the pick of the bunch, from my point of view. Whether or not it is what I chose when the time comes remains to be seen, depending on my needs and what is available at the time.
Now, my old pal (if you don't mind me addressing you as such) spdklls, how are those beautifully colour co-ordinated genuine leather kevlars looking? Getting a bit scuffed by now I guess, so you might be in the market for the latest fashionista look; you old devil, you.
