HONDA CB250 Jade (1990-1991) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB250 Jade was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range of motorcycles manufactured from 1986 to 1999 and designed for urban riding and as an everyday use machine.

In the appearance department, the bike had a simple look with a round headlight, a standard seat, a small windscreen, and a luggage rack that made it suitable for light touring riding.

In addition, the CB250 Jade was fitted with standard features, such as six-spoke cast aluminum wheels, a chromed exhaust system, a one-piece dual seat, a wide handlebar, a black-finished steel frame, and an analog instrument panel.

The model was built around a tubular steel frame that housed a 40 mm telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.

For braking purposes, the CB250 Jade packed a 296 mm disc squeezed by a two-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel for optimum stopping power.

In the horsepower department, the 1991 Honda CB250 Jade took its nerves from a 249cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 40 hp with maximum strength at 14,000 rpm and 24 Nm (18 lb-ft) of torque available at 11,000 rpm.
