HONDA CBR250R (2012-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBR250R was a sports motorcycle, part of the CBR series made by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer in 2011, which featured a single-cylinder engine and a style borrowed from the VRF1200F model.

The 2012 CBR250R was similar in style to the VRF1200F machine, with its Y-shaped headlight and prominent middle cowl that created a layered look. The bike featured a full fairing cowl and a small windscreen that offered decent weather protection and reduced windblast.

The bike featured a diamond-shaped twin-spar steel frame fitted on the front end with a 37 mm telescopic fork and a Pro-Link single-shock absorber on the rear that offered impressive handling performance and a comfortable ride.

For stopping power, the bike packed a single 296 mm disc with a two-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.

In addition, the bike was available with a bunch of optional equipment, such as a U-lock designed to fit under the seat storage compartment, a carbon-look seat cowl for a more aggressive look, a rear seat bag, a tank pad, and wheel stickers.

As for power, the 2012 Honda CBR250R took its muscles from a 249cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a fuel injection system that offered better start-up and fuel efficiency and delivered an output power of 24 hp at 9,900 rpm and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,750 rpm.
