zoomer Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Is the new CBR250R worthy of the R title as it appears more of a tourer than race rep , not as racey as the YZF-R125 for sure. http://world.honda.com/CBR250R/video/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilninggas Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I wonder what bhp that makes? got to be better than the somewhat-ridiculous CBR250RR of the ninties - 4 cylinder, with all that goes with it (carbs, plugs, leads etc), revving to infinity for a real-world 35hp, yet not a patch on the 2-stroke stuff.

Are Honda insane? I paid that for my yam XJ6 (made in japan not thailand), which makes proper power (but can still be restricted etc), i have also been to george white today and they had gsr600 Suzs etc for under £4k new. Honda must have a very specific type of customer in mind if they think this will sell well in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoomer Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Will it ever come to the UK tho ? Should do 95 mph same as the RD 250DX of yestyear but with 75 - 85 mpg ( RD 250DX 33 mpg ) with 1 cylinder for low running cost , perhaps it should be named CB250S though !
