Honda CBR250R - First Ride & Impressions

[@rogercollins3]

As a new rider, I chose a used 250R. You failed to point out the bike's merits: -Extremely forgiving -Very reliable -Ridiculously great gas mileage -Cheap to insure -Cheap to purchase -Good resale value when you upgrade This is a beginner bike, and it's a darn good one. My girlfriend has ridden a 600 SS for years now and raves about how fun this little bike is to flick around the twisties.

I am thinking about getting one. What is the gas mileage?

[@adamjenkins23]

Just bought this as my first bike, can’t wait for spring to ride it. Wish I had the roads you’ve got, looks amazing there!!

[@JamesCutlervk2tim]

I put a Delkevic pipe on mine, and a noticeable increase in torque.......I don't have to shift as often........I've had my bike for just over 10000kms, still love it!

You are right, they are probably a little underpowered. I recently got a black CBR250R. The main appeal was fuel injection (vs all the carby bikes on the market), the barky pipe it came fitted with and the commuter pack/rack it comes with. It’s still a fun bike to ride, parts and service components are easy to find, it brakes well and the suspension is at least modern. It’s pretty frugal fuel wise as well, even when ridden fairly hard. I find it really easy to work on and there are plenty of guides (they are super popular in Asia/India) Honestly I am considering an upgrade to a cbr500r or Cb500f in the future but only for the passing prowess on the motorway. (Realistically the 250 tops out at 130-135) but that’s my only real complaint. I think the Honda build quality as well as the modern engine characteristics makes it a great commuter/ weekend warrior bike. I actually fell in love with the VFR front headlight. I thought it looks cool.

I love this bike I just bought one

Thing is you keep buying bigger, faster, more expensive bikes (well I did) but for what? I'm picking up one of these tomorrow, I shall try to enjoy it for what it is & what it can do rather than focussing on what it isn't and what it can't do...

[@rowanshiner8755]

I own this same bike put a Yoshi pipe on it sounds awesome now

[@robixmv9925]

Very nice man... i have got one, the same colour.

[@ratoneJR]

nice little bike

[@hooliganrider8859]

Like your thoughts about the usability of small displacement bikes. 250rr makes the sound like you're doing 150+ but actually your're doing 50 :P

If you aren't going fast on the street, might as well feel like you are! :P

[@WhatFreeMarket]

Year 2022 and they are still $4000 for a 10 year old one from the dealer 😂

[@jeffro456b]

Loves to be around 6 to 7k rpm ur sitting at 5 complaining about no torque lll

[@wabblesfong7024]

[@carguyneworleans5048]

[@toonedsv]

I switched out my pipe and it became a new bike!

[@LindensMotorcycleChannelLMC]

***** Really? This surprises me! How has it become a new bike?
