HONDA CBX250S (1985-1986) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBX250S was a half-faired motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 1984 to 1998 as a sporty and agile machine, with the engine in plain site and designed to handle both commuting and light touring rides.

For style, the 1986 CBX250S machine packed a sporty look with its fairing, a full set of instrument panels that included a tachometer and a fuel gauge, a comfortable seat, and a rear luggage rack that made the bike suitable for light touring.

The bike came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as a one-piece dual seat, a windscreen, a round headlight integrated into the front cowl, a diamond-shaped steel frame, a blacked-out exhaust system, a black-finished engine with chrome accents, and lightweight cast aluminum wheels.

For suspension, the bike packed a telescopic fork on the front and dual shock absorbers on the rear for optimum suspension performance, while the braking performance was achieved by a 240 mm disc squeezed by a two-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 180 mm drum unit on the rear wheel for optimum stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 1986 Honda CBX250S took its muscles from a 249cc four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 31 hp with maximum strength at 9,500 rpm and 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) of torque available at 9,000 rpm.
