HONDA CBR250R Repsol (2013-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CBR250R Repsol, an updated version of the standard model that came only with cosmetic changes, such as a new black exhaust cover and color schemes that included Pearl White with Blue and Red, Red, and Black, and the Repsol treatment.

All CBR250R models manufactured in 2013 were available with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) as an option, except for the Repsol edition that packed it as a standard feature, while the 249cc engine made the bike a sporty and manageable machine for new riders.

The Repsol edition was dressed to resemble Casy Stone's, Dani Pedrosa's, and Marc Marquez Honda RC213V MotoGP race bikes. The bike featured the Honda Racing Corporation Logo, the Spanish petroleum Company's colors, and the One Heart motto of Honda's Indonesian joint venture.

In the power department, the 2013 Honda CBR250R Repsol edition motorcycle had its muscles flexed by a 249cc four-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 26 hp with a peak at 8,500 rpm and 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,750 rpm.

The bike was built around a diamond-shaped twin-spar steel frame that housed on the front end a 37 mm telescopic fork and a Pro-Link monoshock absorber on the rear.

As for braking performance, the bike packed two 296 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front wheel and a single 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that provided strong stopping power.
