2012 Honda CBR250 R

Choose your trim:
The Honda CBR250R has the user-friendly operation and comfortable size and weight that make it perfect for novice riders or those stepping up from the CBR125R. But if experienced riders overlook it because they think engine displacement is the sole measure of a motorcycle’s appeal, then they’ll be missing out on a bike that redefines fun on two wheels. Purpose-built just for this bike, the CBR250R’s 249 cc liquid-cooled single features PGM-FI electronic fuel injection, DOHC four-valve cylinder head, a 10,500 rpm redline, stacked transmission shafts, and more... it all adds up to an engine that’s easy to use in the stop-and-go of the city, and right at home on the open road or during track days, too. The compact size of the engine was a key element in allowing engineers to create a sporty chassis and rider ergonomics that comfortably fit riders big and small. With its centralized mass, compact wheelbase, full-size 17-inch wheels, nimble steering geometry and light overall weight, the CBR250R achieves that magical state of feeling like it’s responding to your very thoughts.

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN

S  The 249 cc single-cylinder engine has been purpose-built for the CBR250R, and boasts such high-performance features as double overhead camshafts driven by a Hy-Vo-type silent chain, forked roller rocker arms, a compact four-valve cylinder head, a counterbalance shaft, and liquid cooling.

S  The light and compact engine contributes to the CBR250R’s nimble steering, intuitive handling and impressive power-to-weight ratio, which allows it to outperform twin-cylinder bikes of similar displacement.

S  Shim-style valve adjustment allows easy inspection and maintenance, although with a recommended inspection interval of 48,000 km, you’ll ride a long, long time between any needed adjustments.

S  The engine countershaft sits lower than the mainshaft in a “stacked” formation to further reduce the engine’s front-to-back dimensions.

S  Bore and stroke measurements are equivalent to those of the CBR1000RRA’s high-performance engine.

S  The engine produces a remarkably broad torque curve for strong low-rpm performance, and peak horsepower kicks in at 8,500 rpm—well before the 10,500-rpm redline. This wide spread of power makes the CBR250R easy and confidence-inspiring to ride, in both stop-and-go situations and on the highway, while also returning impressive fuel economy.

S  The crankshaft runs in plain bearings for quieter operation and the big end of the connecting rod spins in a needle bearing, both contributing to the engine’s high-performance credentials.

S  A gear-driven counterbalance shaft helps quell engine vibration for enhanced rider comfort. It’s located so close to the crankshaft that the balancer weight passes between the two crank weights to keep the engine as compact as possible while improving mass centralization.

S  Honda’s Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture for the current riding and atmospheric conditions, thereby delivering optimal performance and remarkably crisp throttle response over a wide range of operating conditions, plus improved fuel economy.

S  The CBR250R’s engine meets both EPA 49-state and Euro-3 emissions standards by incorporating the latest in exhaust and catalyzer technology. The tri-metal catalytic converter reduces the level of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides, while an oxygen sensor in the exhaust enables the engine’s Electronic Control Unit to ensure complete combustion within the engine.

S  The six-speed transmission works in concert with the engine’s broad power delivery to produce quick acceleration plus excellent fuel economy during highway cruising.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

S  Diamond-shaped twin-spar steel frame plus a 37 mm front fork and Pro-Link single-shock rear suspension provide impressive handling and a comfortable ride.

S  Curb weight of only 162 kg (357 lb) gives the CBR250R outstanding manoeuvrability and helps instill rider confidence.

S  Sporty ergonomics promote a balanced seating position for optimum control and long-distance comfort.

S  Full-sized 17-inch cast wheels with a 110/70 – 17 front tire and a 140/70 – 17 rear tire provide big-bike feel, grip and handling traits.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

S  VFR1200-style full fairing with windscreen enhances aerodynamics while also deflecting the oncoming wind for excellent rider comfort.

S  Grab rails on the tail section are designed to fit gloved hands, giving passengers a dedicated handhold while riding two-up.

S  A handy underseat storage area adds to the CBR250R’s versatility.
