CONCEPT

• Our passion is embodied in various aspects of this CBR such as its displacement, frame size, driving stability, and riding position. These features were optimized for riders of all kinds, from beginners to experienced riders, so that they can feel the fun of maneuvering, which is fundamental to motorcycle riding
• A sporty feel that riders get the moment they mount and ride the motorcycle is pursued without sacrificing ease of use, in search of the optimum balance between the two
• Nimble acceleration that can be felt the moment the throttle is opened, a feel of smooth rev-up in the high-speed range, linear vibration characteristics that do not discomfort riders, and a variety of equipment features such as a rear grip that provides a sense of comfort when riding in tandem-with this list of features, we are confident that customers will be satisfied without exception

STYLING

• The styling design expresses an originality that only Honda is capable of and which can be appreciated globally
• It incorporates distinctive features everywhere that customers around the world will recognize at once as the features of a Honda sport bike
• Building on a dynamic and sporty form based on the "mass centralization form," the cutting-edge design concept for Honda's full-cowl sport bikes from the VFR1200F and CBR1000RR on down, a simple and clean advanced styling was refined further from the functional viewpoint, producing a distinctive presence
• The model also realized the all-around ease of use of the 250cc class, including a comfortable riding position and excellent handling performance

COMFORT

• To enable a rider to experience the exhilarating feeling of riding into a pleasant wind, which only a sport bike can provide, an abundance of convenience is provided by creating a highly flexible riding position and riding space
• At the same time, the design capitalizes on the slim and compact single-cylinder engine to minimize the front projection. In addition, a separated seat that enables the rider to enjoy a wide variety of situations from touring to sports riding and easy-to-grasp separate left/right rear grips that provide the passenger a sense of comfort come as standard equipment

ENGINE

• The CBR250R engine was developed by aiming at a global single-cylinder engine that transcends regions, while being sporty and eco-friendly at the same time, with a look ahead at the next generation
• By realizing a light and sporty maneuverability in the complete vehicle while retaining the advantages of fuel economy and ease of handling of conventional single-cylinder engines, we have developed a new 250cc single-cylinder engine that is light and compact and runs smoothly not just at low rpm but also in the high rpm range
• For the valve system, a roller rocker arm was adopted by a DOHC engine motorcycle for the first time in the world
• For emission measures, an O² sensor is combined with the built-in air induction (AI) system and a catalyzer is fitted inside the exhaust pipe to comply with Euro 3 emission regulation

LAMS APPROVED

• Ideal for learner riders, the CBR250R is LAMS approved (learner approved). This is a great bike to learn on.
• Please consult your local authority before purchasing a motorcycle for learner use. Each state and territory has its own regulations relating to the range of motorcycle models approved under the Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme. Honda does not warrant or represent that the models shown are approved in each state and territory.
