Design and Style

It has Robocop's superbike looks to me. Well, since the 250RR comes from the CBR series, so undoubtedly it is going to have a head turning design. It features some of the sharpest curves for cheating the wind over its passage.. On the exterior, the bike features matte-black-based low-contrast graphics which adds more to its beauty of the beast.

The 2017 Honda CBR250RR is based on a newly developed steel truss frame, with aluminium type swing arm. The right-side swing arm has been shaped to reduce exhaust pipe extrusion which makes the bike look slimmer while retaining the bank angle. The CBR250RR has got a similar front face as that of the CBR series. To add on its beauty, the bike has dual-LED headlights, sharp wedge-shape, long nose, acute tail, sharp body lines, sculpted fuel tank and chiselled tail section. It features conventional single side exhaust muffler which is supposed to be a 2-1-2 system that is compatible with the overall bike design.

Dimensions and Fuel Capacity
Honda CBR250RR is a big step by the Honda in terms of design and styling. The bike has got an overall length of 2060 mm, overall width of 724 mm and overall height of 1098 mm. The seat height is 790 mm and the wheelbase is 1389 mm. The bike has got a 145 mm ground clearance. The fuel tank capacity of the bike is 14.5 L with 1.9 L oil tank capacity.

Engine and Gearbox
Honda CBR250RR will get its power from the twin cylinder, 249.7 cc, 4-stroke, 8-valve, liquid cooled engine which generates 38.2 Bhp @ 12,500 rpm of maximum power and 23.3 NM @ 11,000 rpm of maximum torque. Has 6 gears of transmission,with multiple wet clutch with coil spring, she is clearly a rival for Ninja 250rr and R25.

Others
CBR250RR has ABS on her braking system.The braking jobs are performed by 310 mm front and 240 mm rear disc brakes. Could feel safer that way. This bike expected to reach 180 kph easily. Don't worry. This is a fast bike for 250cc. 

CBR250RR has got a fully digital instrument console which includes digital speedometer, trip meter, tachometer, odometer, clock and fuel gauge. The instrument panel also includes ABS light, gear indicator, service reminder, low oil indicator, low battery indicator and rev limiter indicator.
