In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB250R, a quarter-liter sporty machine intended for both beginning riders and more experienced ones who were in search of a fuel-efficient machine without diminishing the two-wheeled pleasure.
The Honda CB250R was a lightweight motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range, powered by a 249cc single-cylinder engine and manufactured since 2011. The bike followed the style of the VRF1200F model, with its Y-shaped headlight and prominent middle cowl that generated a layered look.
The production model was presented at the Thailand International Motor Expo on November 27, 2010, at Hong Kong's General District on November 28, 2010, and at EICMA in 2010. Global models were manufactured by Thai Honda Manufacturing in Thailand and started in 2010 and 2011 in Japan.
In the performance department, the 2012 Honda CB250R had its heartbeat set by a 249cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fitted with a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system and delivered an output power of 26 hp at 8500 rpm and 24 Nm (18 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,000 rpm.
For suspension, the bike packed a 37 mm telescopic fork with 130mm of wheel travel on the front and a Pro-Link single shock absorber with preload adjustability and 104 mm of wheel travel on the rear.
As for braking performance, the bike featured a 296 mm disc with a three-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that provided strong braking performance.
