Earlier this week, the Honda CBR250RR made its maiden public appearance in Indonesia. Reviving a moniker which created ripples in the late 1980s in its four-cylinder guise, the new CBR250RR will succeed the single-cylinder CBR250R. Underpinned by a brand new platform, this bike will go head-on against the Yamaha YZF-R3 and the Kawasaki Ninja 300. Check out the detailed photo gallery of the Honda CBR250RR -
The Honda CBR250RR is the production version of the Lightweight Sports Concept, and carries over a major chunk of its styling cues.
The front fascia is dominated by wedge-shaped twin LED headlamps and a protruding nose, which give the CBR250RR an aggressive character.
The rear section mimics the same edgy character with its raised stance and minimalistic design, and integrates the stunning LED tail lamps.
The compact fully digital instrument console displays rider mode information and lap timer along with other basic functionalities.
The CBR250RR is built around a newly developed steel pipe truss frame, with the engine as a stressed member and an aluminium swingarm.
At the heart of the new chassis is an all-new 249cc liquid-cooled parallel twin engine. The engine is rumoured to deliver around 38 horsepower.
The CBR250RR gets a throttle by wire (TBW) system, which allows the engine maps to be set in three different ways according to rider’s preference.
The Honda CBR250RR gets completely redesigned switchgear which now integrates a dedicated button for the lap timer.
Upfront, the CBR250RR gets a 310mm disc brake with Nissin calliper, while the rear wheel gets a 240mm single disc brake. ABS is an optional extra.
The Honda CBR250RR breathes out through a two into one into two exhaust system with sharp looking twin end cans.
Suspension duties are performed by 37mm Showa front forks and a Pro-Link five-step preload adjustable rear monoshock.
