2017 Honda CBR 250RR

Overview
Honda has come up with its lightweight, highly efficient, twin cylinder bike named as 'CBR250RR'. The ‘Light Weight Super Sport Concept’ (CBR250RR) was unveiled earlier at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. The production model has now been unveiled in Indonesia on July 25. Although still no news about launching in Malaysia, but if launched it is expected to sweep away its rivals with its high performance figures, design and much more. The key rivals of CBR250RR in Malaysia would be Kawasaki Ninja 250RR and Yamaha R25.

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.

V-Twin VS 4 In-Line

           Ah, the good old engine debate. Ask any motorcycle rider what kind of engine they think is best and you will get some surprisingly heated opinions. Our cruiser riding brethren will of course talk up the virtues of v-twins and their torque, while sportbike riders might be somewhat divided between inline fours and v-twins. Single cylinder engines (“thumpers”) are usually reserved for dirt and off-road bikes, but one of the better beginner sportbikes happens to use one – the sharp looking Honda CBR250R. Engine type should not be taken lightly when choosing a first motorcycle and I’ll try to make some sense of the differences here.



V-Twin or Parallel Twin

(The picture of V-Twin engine)

            A v-twin is a two cylinder engine with the cylinders arranged in the shape of a V; you’ve no doubt seen this engine configuration when looking at cruisers. Ducati famously uses a 90-degree twin cylinder engine that looks more like an L, though most people still refer to it as a v-twin. There are smaller sportbikes like the excellent Kawasaki Ninja 250R which use a parallel twin, where the cylinders are configured side-by-side.

          BMW offers an opposed twin sometimes called a “flat” or “boxer” engine in some of its motorcycles, where the cylinders sit flat on their sides and 180 degrees opposite each other (I happen to find it weird and impractical to have the cylinder heads sticking straight out the sides of the engine on a motorcycle, but that’s my opinion).

(Ducati Diavel is one of superbike using V-Twin engine system)

Four Inline

(Four in-line Engine system)

       An inline 4 cylinder engine has all four cylinders sitting next to each other in a nice neat row. Most sport and race bikes use this configuration, though you may see an occasional V-4 such as the one in use by Honda CBR 1000RR, the Aprilia RSV4 and the Yamaha R1.

(The Honda CBR 1000 RR, has better sound than V-twin engine system)

Superbike4U (Upgrade Edition)

    

    I believe you read my previous post about Bike4U. I you have not just click it since it is an article about you getting your first bike. But this article is about upgrading your current bike, to a super bike. Whenever I say super bike, it means a powerful bike with 250 cc to 600 cc of engine displacement. If you planning to upgrade your current bike, here's some recommendations for you.

   Before you upgrade your bike into super bike, better know why you upgrade it. Either for speed? Or is that about the looks? Or price? Touring? Or you goes just for sound. What ever your final decision is, my article here are just a guide for you.

1. SOUND
   Benelli TNT 600 and Kawasaki Ninja ZX2R
   
   
   
   
   
   (Price: RM 31,000.00)
   
   
   
         Some people are just want a good sound of super bike. So Benelli TNT 600 is the cheapest four inline super bike. only cost your RM 35,000.00 in Malaysia. This naked bike is originally from Italy but the company brought by China Firm. Benelli TNT 600 has a lot of user in Malaysia. It has good speed, reliability, and of course the best price. The cons is the spare parts is not ready stock so you might wanna wait two or three days for the parts to arrive here.
   
   
   
   (Price: RM 8,00.00 to RM 15,000.00)
   
   
   
   
        The Kawasaki ZX2R also four cylinders bike. But the difference is this bike has smaller CC of engine displacement. If you cannot afford to purchase Benelli TNT 600, this bike is cheaper. But bare in mind, there are no longer new stock for Kawasaki ZX2R. All you have to do is buy it second hand. This bike is born around 1990's so they might be a bit problem on th bike when you brought it. Have expert with you if you looking for this bike.
   
   
2. TOURING
   Kawasaki ER6F/N, CBR 500R, Harley Davidson Street 500
   
        Enjoying touring in long distance? If you love to enjoy the view while riding. or travelling with style, then you can go to Kawasaki ER6F and Honda CBR 500R for full fairing super bike, the Kawasaki ER6N for naked bike or if you have extra money you can purchase a Harley Davidson Street 500.
   
        If you upgrade your bike for touring and travelling, and you like to ride fast while travelling, go for ER6F and CBR 500R. These bikes has good riding position. Very comfortable for long distant ride. CBR 500R is cheaper than ER6F
      
        But if you thinking about relaxing ride. enjoying the view, you can have yourself a ER6N. This naked bike gives you more pleasure of relaxing ride. But if you want to travel slow with style, go for Street 500 of Harley Davidson. The big sound attract a lot of attentions toward your bike. Plus the bike appealing gains a lot of coolness while you riding it, either long ride or riding in town.
   
   
   
   (ER6F and CBR 500R are good bike for touring in fast speed)
   
   
   (ER6N gives you relaxing ride thile touring)
   
   
   
   (Harley Davidson Street Bike gives you style and coolness in riding)
   
   
3. SPEED
   Kawasaki ZX6R, Yamaha YZF-R6,
   
          Not to mention, most riders upgrading their bike fo speed. Yup. A super bike with 600 cc is fast enough to pleasure you. So if you looking a super bike, the best bike I can recommend to you are Yamaha YZF R6 Kawasaki ZX6R
   
         Yamaha R6 is a superbike with racing spec. I means you can push this bike without worrying about it too much. Just make sure you have the skills to handle this 600 cc beast on the street.
   
         Or you can go for Kawasaki ZX6R. This also a racing spec super bike. There are two versions for this bike. The Kawasaki ZX-6R and Kawasaki ZX6R 636. Both them claimed can have top speed 250 kmh and above. Remember, this speed could kill you.
   
         Know your limit. There are also another bike like Suzuki GSR, and Honda CBR 600RR. But since Kawasaki ZX6R and Yamaha R6 is rival in motor sport world, so these are the suitable bike for you to upgrade if you looking for speed.
   
   
   
   (Kawasaki ZX6-R, RM 76,000.00 OTR)
   
   
   
   (Kawasaki ZX6R, RM 71,000.00 OTR)
   
   
   
   (Yamaha YZF R6, RM 75,000.00 OTR)
   
4. CITY RIDE DAILY USE
   KTM RC390/DUKE 390 and Z250
   
         City Ride means daily use. you are using your super bike to your office, everyday. Super bike are not recommended for daily use since bigger engine cannot ride slowly. Heavy traffic jammed can cause you super bike heat or worst, jammed engine.
   
        But no worry, some bikes are designed for city use. KTM one of it. If you love full fairing, go for RC390. Not just can be ridden slowly but it also has racing spec. So you can either ride it everyday in traffic jammed, or ride fast in highway. Or you can have fun with naked bike, the KTM Duke 390. THe single cylinder with large size cause louder sound around the city. But its okey. It looks cool anyway. And more important it is safe for city ride.
   
        If KTM is to expensive to you, go for Kawasaki Z250. Not just cheaper but also nice looking bike. This naked bike is two cylinders bike. Its produce smooth engine sound, and good for city ride. You can see most Malaysian riders are using this for daily use bike. If you are beginner, this bike can be put in your list.
   
   
   
   (Both these KTM cost you around RM30k ++)
   
   
   
   (Kawasaki Z25, with opening price just Rm 19,000.00 , and the girl is not included. HAHA!)
5. PRICE
   Naza Blade 650R
   
        Yes, this is the cheapest super bike can be found. With price only RM 26,000.00 OTW, you can own a Naza Blade 650R. This bike is using V-Twin engine system. Has good sound for two cylinders actually. Previous models has a lot of complains but the newer ones has improved quality. So if you want a super bike with small amount of money, you can go for the Naza Blade 650R
   

   
   

   
   

   

   
   

    even cheap bike can look cool. If you want,you can convert your Blade into Ducati, like the image below is actually a Naza Blade 250R)
   
   

   
   
6. OFF ROAD
   Kawasaki Versys,
   
         Although you can see many Versys used for street bike, but its originally a for a outdoor touring.With price almost RM40,000.00 this bike is worth for both long distance ride, fast ride and out door. The newer version has ABS and new design of head lamp.
   
        But if you want to go extreme out door, choose the Kawasaki KLX. its designed for it. KLX 650 are not available in Malaysian Market, but you can have KLX 250. This motard are sure powerful in off road condition.
   
   

    (Street or Off Road, both won't give problem to Kawasaki Versys)

    

   
   

   
   

   

   
   (The latest version of Kawasaki Versys, with ABS)
   
   
   

    FOr extreme off road, have yourself a Kawasaki KLX)

   
   

   
   

   

   
   
   
       So you have bike on your list? Having a super bike is so much fun. But it takes so much knowledge to taking care of these kind of bike. If you planning to use this bike for long term, get a new bike. Less problem. But if you just want to use super bike just as a learner bike, get a reckon or second hand super bike.
   
      But if you are planning to change it later to bigger bike, 700 cc above?  Wait for my next post about Hyperbike4U. Thanks for reading my blog. Have a nice day~
