After the launch of the 2019 CBR150R, Honda is
preparing to introduce the CBR1000RR inspired tricolour livery for the
CBR250RR. Photographs of the motorcycle were published by Japan based Young
Machine magazine.
The base paint is
red with blue and white highlights across the motorcycle. The front gets
black-white graphic above the full LED headlight. From the sides, the blue and
white highlights run through the fairing, to the rear panel. The CBR250RR and
Honda branding are seen on the fairing.
The changes are
limited to graphics and the CBR250RR continues to use the same sharp design and
hardware as the standard model. Apart from the Tricolour, the CBR250RR is sold
in Black Freedom, Bravery Mat Red, Mat Gunpowder Black Metallic and Honda
Racing Red colour options.
Mechanical
specifications are identical to the standard motorcycle, and the CBR250RR
continues to use the 249.7cc, parallel twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke,
DOHC 8-valve engine that delivers 38 PS of maximum power at 12,500 rpm and
23.3 Nm of peak torque at 11,000 rpm. The engine can propel the quarter-litre
Honda to a top speed of 170 km/h. Features like ride by wire technology and
three selectable modes – Comfort, Sport and Sport+ – come as standard.
Hydraulic disk
brake at front and rear provide the stopping power while the safety net of
dual-channel ABS comes as standard. USD telescopic forks up front and a
Pro-link suspension with a five-step adjustable pre-load at the rear perform
suspension duties. The motorcycle features full LED headlight, LED tail light
and LED blinkers. A full digital instrument console sits behind the windscreen.
The saddle on the
motorcycle is a split, step-up unit. There is no proper grab rail for the
passenger but a belt runs through the pillion seat. The stylish, dual-tone
exhaust pipe continues to give the motorcycle a sporty look.
