HONDA CBR250RR (2017-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBR250RR was a sports motorcycle made in Indonesia and unveiled in 2016 in Jakarta. The bike was part of the CBR series and was the first and smallest CBR motorcycle that packed a twin-cylinder engine with an RR badge.

Honda claimed that the CBR250RR featured technologies derived from the RC213V MotoGP machine, such as throttle-by-wire technology, three riding modes, and a more compact engine design than its competitors. Also, it was the first motorcycle in its class that featured the TBW system, which offered a more precise throttle response.

The bike was powered by a newly developed engine that offered easy handling in the urban jungle and was just as comfortable on the track. In addition, the throttle-by-wire system, along with the selectable three-way engine modes, allowed the rider to tap into its linear power for superior and solid acceleration.

The 2017 Honda CBR250RR had its soul brought to life by a 249cc four-stroke parallel twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 36 hp with maximum strength at 12,500 rpm and 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,500 rpm.

The newly designed steel pipe truss frame offered both strength and flexibility and packed an inverted telescopic fork on the front and a five-step preload Pro-Link suspension on the rear.

As for braking performance, the bike packed a 310 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 240 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel, which provided strong braking performance.
