HONDA CBR250R (1988-1989) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBR250R was a sports motorcycle manufactured from 1986 to 1996, part of the CBR series in Honda's range of motorcycles, which were designed for racing and high-performance street riding.

In terms of visual appearance, the Honda CBR250S was presented with a sporty look and a full fairing topped by a twin headlight design. The bike also packed a digital instrument cluster that included a speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge.

The bike was built around a steel perimeter frame that housed on the front end a telescopic fork and a swingarm with a Pro-Link mono shock absorber on the rear for optimum suspension performance.

In the braking department, the CBR250R packed two discs with hydraulic calipers on the front wheel and a single disc with a hydraulic caliper on the rear wheel for strong stopping power.

In the power department, the 1989 Honda CBR250R took its muscles from a 249cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fueled by four carburetors that helped deliver an output power of 40 hp with maximum strength at 14,500 rpm.

All the power generated by the engine was converted into motion by a six-speed manual transmission that spun the rear wheel through a chain drive.

The powerful engine, agile handling, and sporty styling have made the bike a popular choice for those riders who were looking for a smaller and more affordable sports machine.
