Here's an interesting slip-on mod I just stumbled upon

Two Brothers Racing, known for its performance enhancement add-ons  for motorcycles has brought some good news for the CBR250R owners. The  company has introduced a performance exhaust system for the new bike and  claims that it increases peak output by 6% to 24.51bhp.

Officially christened the Honda CBR250R V.A.L.E.™ Slip-On Exhaust  System, the system also increases the peak torque by 7% and reduces the  weight of the exhaust by 4.5kg. According to the company, the increase  in power and torque can be experienced throughout the rev range.

Here’s the detailed description of how much power and torque gain you  get over stock on using the TBR exhaust over the stock unit
  

Stock              TBR                               Difference

  Peak HP           23.01 HP           24.51 HP                        +1.84 HP = +9%

  Peak Torque   15.67 ft-lbs             16.69 ft-lbs                    +1.5 ft-lbs

  Max HP Gain -                             +1.84 HP @ 7800 rpm       + 6% hp

  Max Torque Gain -                       +1.5 ft-lbs @ 3500 rpm              +7%

  Weight           15 lbs                 5 lbs                                   -10 lbs

  Sound               -                         87.5 dB @2000 rpm     -

  Catalyst           yes                     no                                       -

  O2 Sensor       yes                     yes                                     -  

  

The mod doesn’t come cheap though, and is priced from Rs 17k to 20K +. You can get more details on the product here.

Not sure if its really worth the money...if I had the bike, I'd spend it on something useful The craze for more bhp and NM will never end!

^+1 to that.

17-20k is too pricey for such a mod on such a bike. With the Ninja getting cheaper, I would save all the 10s and 20s I have for the Greenie.

Thanks for the link, though.

Green going cheaper? Sure? (It should, but so soon...)

The Ninja is not getting cheaper. Had a chat with Bajaj top management recently, and they don't seem to be in any mood to step back on their stand that the Ninja 250 is a premium product. Sure as hell, the pricing on the Ninja is not going down anytime soon.

Amitbhai, how true is the 4.5L of the 650R posted on the homepage...or is it just a speculation. I remember there was a lot of talks about the 250 being priced under 2L and hell it went above 3.
