Honda CBR250R Mileage

Owning an abs variant of cbr250r since 2014, clocked over 45,000 kms and the engine is still going strong. Crashed hard a few times but the build quality is rock solid with minimal vibrations at the top end even after 7 years.
The looks of the bike is inspired directly by its elder sibling the 1200f and though the cbr now looks a bit dated against its new rivals, it is never even an inch lower in making a style statement of its own even today.
Ride quality is brilliant with suspension being on bit of the softer side. You can easily cruise on highways with the speeds between 120-140 km/h for a long time without the engine breaking a sweat.
Delivery experience was delightful but the only issue still prevalent is the spare parts availability.
Maintenance is minimal to moderate as long as you keep this bike running and in use, once you stall it for like over an year or so, it can easily burn a hole in your pocket.
Though I personally never cared about mileage much, you can expect around 23 km/l in city and 28 km/l on the highways if you are a throttle freak and love to push the bike to its limits.
Would've really appreciated if Honda continued this beautiful machine under the bsvi norms but cannot blame them either because of the poor sales.
Still can't figure out why this bike failed to make a cut in the indian market as I have never come across anyone who doesn't have some liking for this bike or a owner who has had issues with it.
Anyway it was an amazing experience owning this bike and I will definitely look upto Honda again for bigger displacement bikes in future. They've made sure that i stay a happy customer during my ownership of their wonderful machine.
