Honda has been doing exceptionally in India since its foray as a whole owned subsidiary of its Japanese counterpart. The company launched its first performance motorcycle, the CBR250R in April, 2011 and has been able to anticipate the demand for such machines. Thus, there are chances (and rumours to back them up) that Honda will launch a naked motorcycle in India. This muscle bike would be the VTR250, which could be priced around Rs. 1.5 lakhs. But why should you opt for the Honda VTR250, when you can get a full faired machine (CBR250R) at similar costs?
The Honda VTR250 is powered by a 250cc V-twin engine which produces around 30PS of power and 22Nm of torque. The V-twin motor gives it a characteristic, which is very diffferent from the CBR250R. Add to that the stunning looks and the VTR250 looks like an immediate hit. Available in Red, Black and White colours, the VTR250 is also referred to as Interceptor 250 in some parts of the world. Performance biking is just about to get sweeter.

The point why this could be launched in India is not clear for me. Can you just elobrate it clearly?
Pavan, the points it Honda wants to diversify into higher capacity machines.
I know looks are subjective…but the CBR looks much much better than this one!
Wasnt Honda going to launch CBX 250 before this? Why talks of a VTR all of a sudden?
Well, Honda was supposed to launch lots of things but whats the point if the can’t even deliver their mass bikes.
this street bike will outsell the cbr 2:1 . this is practical and usable with good seat padding and if the bike drops when parked , which happens if u live in india at other fault be it at colleges/offices/market parkings you will not be taking home fairing pieces in your shopping bag.
plus is has a purist motorcycling appeal with original biking looks- say the 501′s of street bikes. bring it on honda! fast…
The CB300 looks a more safer and better looking bet.
But Honda has to concentrate on delivering the bikes without waiting period and also the spares are not available for their mass production bikes. This ll make the customers of Honda to loose their faith. So before launching their new line they should increase the production of bikes and spares for the current existing line up…
