Walkaround of the new 2011 Honda CBR250R

[@SpartanG6]

This is the first intelligent motorcycle video ive seen in a while, thanks

[@Jimbo-in-Thailand]

Getshokin, Enjoyed the video, thanks! I live in Thailand & bought a new CBR150R in 2006 & it has been a fantastic little bike w/excellent handling, dependability, & fuel economy. It took a while to get used to riding it after riding a 1400cc Intruder V-twin for years, but compromises have 2B made to live in Thailand, but wasn't about to settle for 110cc step-thru scooter. I've had my CBR wide open at 140km/h (~87 mph) & the speedo may be off a tad, but... see part 2

[@mrnoobJI]

i just had you as my Basic Rider Course instructor. i was one of the guys who finished the class today. Didnt expect to stumble across a video of you on youtube lol

[@TehTussin]

@shummyshum That is called a tank protector. It is to protect the tank from scratches.

[@JohnDXD]

beautiful bike

[@Jimbo-in-Thailand]

Part 2: ...I've been riding motorcycles all my life and it felt like it was going that fast. That said, I rode an almost new 2010 Ninja 250 & with it's 50% weight penalty ~375 lbs vs. ~250 lbs for the CBR150R, it just didn't feel any faster accelerating. A KZbin video of both drag racing confirmed my experience. Small frame ~120 lb. Thais regularly push their CBR150Rs to 160+ km/h indicated (100mph)with some minor mods. It seems the heavy CBR250R will suffer just like the Ninja 250 does.

[@888cambios]

Wow I imagined q it was going to be about 100 or 105 miles, Thank you very much for the information, embrace from Argentina

[@SiUmaam]

Push both of Button Mode and Reset.. and then push reset button for change and Mode Button for move from hour to minute

[@urquhart77]

@shummyshum I think you're talking about the tank pad. It's a sticker put on the tank to protect the paint from jacket zippers.

[@theoriginaldimi]

@cdnmotostar Actually being faster in a straight line is not depending on rider skill. It is depending on bhp, rolling resistance and aerodynamics.

[@cfriesen01]

great vid man thanks for posting this. im getting a black one with abs. dealer says they wont get it until march. first thing im gonna do is remove that fugly muffler.

[@zandregroenewald8439]

The New 250s Of Today Will Never Stack Up Against The Old 250s . . . This Honda Cbr250 Horsepower Is 24 With A Top Speed Of About 160km/h Depending On Your Wait Mayb 25 If You Eat The Throttle But The Old Cbr250 Had 45hp With A Top Speed Of 200 km/h . .. Witch One Would You Rather Want?Great Vid By The Way.

[@askmehow25]

great video.... respect man...

[@rg0r]

good review

[@CHARLIETWW]

This is what an awesome review. I am thinking about buying a Honda CBR250R. Should I wait for a 2012 version?

[@MadDogMeh]

I want a good 250cc bike with gas and an oil temp gage. This bike fills my list and more. I want one.

[@mrnoobJI]

@getshokin still looking around but im definitely going to pick one up as soon as i can. im actually looking into the cbr 250 as my first!

[@Duckferd]

I'd say the addition of EFI is pretty big

[@DigiDriftZone]

So lets see: Advantages of CBR250R: - ABS available - Digital Dash (with clock, fuel/temp gauge) - More modern design & better finish - Performance at low end (but not overall) Advantages of Ninja 250r: - Performance at top end and overall - Parallel Twin (vs single cylinder on the honda) - Handling - Suspension It seems Honda generally focus on finish and tech while Kawasaki focus on the ride itself. For me the Ninja wins overall but I do wish there was an ABS option.

[@Genoxide85]

Great video, thanks!

[@butwait]

@getshokin Great review, I'm in the market for one of the 250's, like you said, looks are subjective but the Ninja has much nicer -full- fairing. another consideration is the engine, for me, sound and feel are important and a single cylinder engine just doesn't have that smooth feel and sound to it, the Ninja's sound always makes me look back when one passes me. My dislikes are the Ninja's ancient looking instrument panel, a shame really. (but I will buy the Ninja ;) )

[@GregoryHouseMD1]

@getshokin Thank you for the reply! If you can please do push this bike to the max and let us know about the speed. Here in India you can book the bike right away but deliveries are going to start only by April 2011. The Honda guys here claim 26HP. Still waiting for the numbers.

[@MrChazOMatic]

@getshokin nice....too bad they dont make the cbr in naked form

[@GregoryHouseMD1]

Nice video! What the top the speed of this bike? The Indian Version is surely going to be detuned comapred to the US/ Thailand version. Here in India people want better Fuel economy so most of the bikes and cars are heavily detuned. Take the Honda Civic sedan its detuned to 128-130HP here in India.

[@leonoff89]

@getshokin just about ive hard complaints about the clutch ive watched a couple of comparison vids between the 250s hyosung gt250r the honda and the ninja another complaint was that the honda is small

[@skylinejones]

nice vid.

[@SoNSuZDoST]

Bunun kırmızı rengi neden TÜRKİYE ye getirilmiyor ki. Kırmızı rengi çok güzel bir renk ama Türkiye de malesef yok :o(( TURKEY

[@Harakai100]

you do know that every single new harley now has electric fuel injection? Also, the all new 2013 ninja 250r also has electric fuel injection.

[@Resspeushiah]

@dtmbcorp Honestly, who buys a 250 entry level bike to tour? It's impractical.

[@b4ll4z]

wich one is the quickest to do the 0-60mph ? Cbr250 or ninja 250?? And I heard top speed of this cbr was around 160-165 km/h (must be around 100 mp/h i guess??) so what about the kawa?? Is this similar on the ninja? Thanks and great video! I appreciated :)

[@leonoff89]

its also made in thailand just like the ninja 250 i saw one at the dealership and it is also made in thailand so right on par with the ninja and btw the north american ninja 250s are the only ones that are carbed everyone else theyre fi so the cbr250r isnt really better than the ninja

[@TheShaun5150]

the ninja is quicker but if you want to race then neither of these bikes will do the job or even last too long, the ninja rides smoother at high end speeds but the cbr changes gears smoother and has a better ratio for zooming around streets. the ninja is slightly bigger and heavier and doesnt have an lcd dash, only gauges. if you have never ridden before then the cbr is for you, if you have experience then it might be a bit "dull" and the ninja will be more of a challenge

[@TheShaun5150]

hmmmm why dont the bike dealers promote the fact that they can be used to race i wonder? it would attract more customers you would think; those people that would be thinking "yeh they look ok but too cheap to be a racing bike, i might wait til i can afford a 600"

[@MrChazOMatic]

@getshokin and what did you replace it with? certainly not the cbr....im assuming.

[@BikelifeBA]

much nicer than ninja. cool vid thx

[@yutokinemi]

hi! great vid! how about this bike for someone 6`1 ft. tall? I´m not sure about the size ´cause on the ninja 250r I feel like a giant

[@GabrielEtsHokin]

Do a Google Search for "CBR250R Owner's Manual PDF. Look on page 24.

[@MrChazOMatic]

overall good review but i think its bias since he owns the ninja :/

[@shummyshum]

what's the decal behind the gas tank for? i've seen it on many different sports bikes.

[@TheRASANTH]

wat is maximum rpm and say the speed in 6 gear at any particular rpm.0-100 takes how muchseconds. relay plz

[@888cambios]

Hello, which is the maximum speed of her cbr250r?, thank you very much

[@Dreadmantisthe2nd]

I think he's talking about older Harleys man. Also 2013 ninja 250s do not exist... They replaced the 250 with the 300.

[@aaronalvarado27]

would you recommend getting either this bike or a 2011 ninja 250r?

[@laboxingdannyvega]

I have a quick question. I am 5'1 and know how to ride motorcycles but will the seat height be too high for me on this bike?

[@lewininja250r]

yes we all know this, no need to mention it again...

[@bullseatpizza]

Is ABS on a motocycle worth it?

[@ykwok321]

lol "wave goodbye paul" haha

[@craigrobinson1234567]

how the fuck do you change the time? Nothing tells me how and i've got the thing as a courtesy bike. Common sense would say hold mode but all i can achieve is to change between mph and kph?

[@9secondsflat]

but uggly pipe....one woul think the design team would have put more thought into the astetics..

[@manishranavaya6100]

superb sexy bike :) n video 2
