CBR250R

The new CBR250R is Honda's response to growing demand for motorcycle's in this particular market. The CBR250R bridges the gap between the CBR125R and the CBR600RR nicely. Twin-cylinder engines are commonplace in the 250 class but the CBR250R is designed around an all-new 249.4cm³ single-cylinder engine with liquid cooling, an efficient 4-valve DOHC cylinder head and PGM-FI fuel injection. The result is extraordinary – a truly versatile 250cc sportsbike with unrivalled fuel economy in its class.

REVIEW:

The CBR250R’s riding position is fundamental to its versatility, ensuring comfort and control regardless of the task at hand. It is designed around a low seat height of just 784mm, which puts riders of any stature at ease immediately since even shorter riders can put a supporting foot on the ground when stopping. The result is increased rider confidence and a bike that is in its element carving through traffic jams and other busy urban environments. The position of the handlebars and footpegs works with the seat to create a sporty riding position that offers outstanding control and a feeling of being at one with the bike.

Too many sensible bikes are also sensibly styled but the CBR250R proves this needn’t be the case. Unmistakably Supersports-inspired in its design, the sculpted fairing sweeps up from the front of the bike to a light and purposeful tail. The bike’s lines are at once dynamic and sophisticated, communicating the machine’s dual personalities: exciting small-capacity sportsbike and practical all-rounder.
