About the Reviewer

I've been using CBR250R ABS for more than half a decade now. I'll categorize my review: Performance: The bike is smooth initially (typical Honda) but as soon as you cross 6K rpm, the Bike shoots a boost of power. The torque is really good from the mid to high range, particularly from 6K to 9K, The front wheel wants to lift & I get goosebumps. The Honda engine is very smooth, stress-free & reliable, never got broken or overheated thanks to liquid cooling, zero problems with the radiator. Breaks: I bought the ABS version, It gets Nissin calipers which are one the Top best breaks in terms of quality & reliability in the segment, The breaks never ever disappoint me unless the tyres are bad.

1. I am always a pulsar lover I had a Rs200. But I think to buy a CBR 250R for its refined engine and less vibration. But it was a big disaster to me.
2. While I am ride this bike my wrist got pain in within 5 minutes for its handle vibration. When I rev this bike I think I rev a splender not a 250cc engine. This is not a rev happy bike like pulsar or any other sports bike. Being a 250 cc engine it can touch only 145km/h. But being a 200cc my pulsar RS200 can touch 146km/h easy. Everybody says that bajaj's gearbox is bad it sometime stuck when you up or down shift your gear. I also agree with them. If bajaj's gearbox is bad then CBR250r's gearbox is worst. It always stuck. I went for a long ride with my cbr around 400km. My left leg is getting pain for its gear stuck. In city I got 23kmpl.
3. In looks its very eye-catching. But I think it is outdated.
4. Pros. Road presence
Cons. All things you think are cons.

Beware it’s just the name honda sells in india not a quality product or service now a days.I am already a victim of this, so just sharing my experience. Most of the ownership reviews you find online are for older editions which make you fall for cbr250r if you like refinement.So does most of the bike rental services like wicked ride or drivezy have older 2016-17 editions and they are awesome to experience.That was my validation & research before i bought the cbr on may 10th 2019. (cbr 250r sep 2018 manufactured)Issues i faced from day 1 of bike delivery are:1.Heavy engine vibrations due to slipped engine mount bolts also they replaced rocker arm, cam, shims & sprocket set to address overall vibrations. 2.Handle wobbling between 70-80 kmph, they replaced cone set assembly and didn’t resolve the issue. It seems they are defective tyres, they replaced rear tyre still issue not resolved.3.Metal clicking noise from frames and under tank. Issue was addressed by applying foam tape between frame (chassis) and tank and side body panels.4.Asc damaged radiator during water wash- which they had to replace after a fight proving their incompetence.Most of the new bs4 cbrs have these vibrations issues just check any cbr forum on fb or online.. In a nutshell you might be lucky to get a good unit. However, ascs service competence is crap. You will suffer with their trial and error method of fixing issues.They trust in your patience to cover their incompetence. My 79 days old cbr250 r spent 30 days in ascs - 8 attempts - still handle wobbling issue is not fixed.Hmsi blr regional head is also aligned for this since 3 weeks for last 3 attempts.

Buying experience was all good. So easily i got the bike.Riding this bike is awesome, but it could be better than awesome if this bike has more torque.Looks are very attractive and performance could be better if they added some new technology like ktm.Servicing and maintenance is good.
