General information and overview

The Honda CBR250R, introduced in India in 2011, is a sports touring motorcycle that combines the looks of a sport bike with the comfort and reliability of a tourer. Powered by a liquid-cooled 249cc single-cylinder DOHC engine, it produces 25 bhp and 22.9 Nm of torque, making it capable of cruising at speeds of 120-130 kmh with ease. The bike features a six-speed transmission and is available in both non-ABS and ABS variants. Its handling is praised for being nimble and responsive, while the braking system, especially the ABS version, is highly regarded for its confidence-inspiring performance. The CBR250R also boasts a comfortable riding position and good wind protection, making it an excellent choice for long-distance rides. Despite some minor issues like the need for frequent gear shifts in city traffic and the less-than-ideal saree guard design, the CBR250R remains a popular and reliable option for Indian bikers.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Honda CBR250R, particularly the older models, has proven to be a reliable and versatile motorcycle for Indian roads. From my experience and various owner reviews, it is clear that this bike excels in its engine refinement, handling, and long-distance touring capabilities. The liquid-cooled 249cc single-cylinder engine provides a linear power delivery, making it comfortable for both city rides and highway cruises. However, the bike does have some drawbacks, such as the lack of low-end torque and the necessity of frequent gear shifts in city traffic. Despite these, the CBR250Rs reliability, consistent mileage, and robust build make it a solid choice for those prioritizing long-distance touring and everyday commuting.

On-road prices, including registration, insurance, and other costs, would typically range from 2.00 lakh to 2.50 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes.

Cross Beam Racer 250 R

Summary

CBR should be a genre of Cross Beam Racer but not this 250R. Its more of a compromise on quick bike to make a to do all tourer. Comfortable stance with good wind block from the fairing.
CBR should be a genre of Cross Beam Racer but not this 250R. Its more of a compromise on quick bike to make a to do all tourer. Comfortable stance with good wind block from the fairing. Quality of components is really good but misses out on no. of components, like side stand indicator and no radiator protection. First thing I did was dump those ContiGO's/MRF's and put Michelin Street Pilot radials the accuracy on leans and grip is way sorted than stock (note rounder profile of rear tyre makes it a bit shaky after 100kph). It's a infantly sensitive on 1st to 3rd gear (forearm clutch exercise in traffic) but post that 4th-5th have a mid range hammer to 6th, which can take 5k to 8.5k revs; from 70kph to 130ish kph. But passing power in 7. 5k to 8. 5k revs is non-existent/mellow. To conclude, if you want one bite of all types of bikes it's a good option and is a really exciting one. Though the price and updated competitors make it hard to recommend it now. (Honda should desperately launch 300 etc.)

✨ Best Features

6th gear is an overide, smooth gearbox and throttle response.

👍 Pros

Mid Range - usable power & Well dressed - fairing works.

👎 Cons

Minimal display & Low end wrt to gear ratios.

Perfect Tourer for India

Summary

Fantastic bike for touring and a great starter bike, but lacks in low end torque which is needed in the city, and looks a bit outdated. Would have been nice if the 300r was released last year.
Fantastic bike for touring and a great starter bike, but lacks in low end torque which is needed in the city, and looks a bit outdated. Would have been nice if the 300r was released last year. Probably has the best seating position in class. Has a meaty mid range and top end, ideal for high speed cruising on highways, very stable at high speeds. Engine is not stressed and is mod capable. City riding is manageable. Very very decent return of mile age depending on the riders' s riding style. Non existent exhaust note, poor low end torque.

✨ Best Features

The engine, coolant system, seating position

👍 Pros

The mid range and top end, cost of spares ,engine, coolant system

👎 Cons

Non existent exhaust note, low end torque, slightly outdated looks, display, satisfactory braking (non abs)

No Regrets in Buying this Machine

Summary

I have completed one year on this bike and I am fully satisfied with my bike's performance. Yes, the bike is heavy in weight which is also slightly harder to maneuver and turn at low speeds
I have completed one year on this bike and I am fully satisfied with my bikes performance. Yes, the bike is heavy in weight which is also slightly harder to maneuver and turn at low speeds but certainly not so hard that you will drop it. My legs aren't the strongest but I haven't dropped it ever. Average wise, it gives an average of 29 km/l on city roads and according to me it can cover a distance of 360 kms with full tank. The problem I faced in my CBR is its gear shifter which sometimes stuck between 1st and 2nd.

✨ Best Features

Comfortable ride and stylish ergonomics

👍 Pros

Refined engine, Performance, Ride quality, Sporty looks

👎 Cons

Horns, Side stand, Gear Shifter get stuck sometimes

New Honda CBR250R

2018 Honda CBR250R was recently launched in India for INR 1,63,584 (ex-showroom Delhi). Not just that, Honda even brought the ABS equipped model in India for INR 1,93,107. The design language remains exactly the same as first generation CBR250R while use of better LED lights and paint combinations has made CBR250R a great option to own.

It comes powered by the tried and tested, ultra reliable 249.6cc, liquid cooled and fuel injected engine producing 26.5 PS at 8500 rpm and 22.9 Nm at 7000 rpm. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Honda uses 110/70-17 front and 140/70-17 rear tyre for maximum grip levels. ABS version offers Nissin brake calipers and thus, command suh high premium than the non ABS version.

Front disc measures 296 mm while rear is 220 mm in diameter. As the bike weighs 167 kg, it performs extremely well when compared to heavier bikes with bigger engines. Fuel tank still carries 13 liters of petrol and thus, one can expect 400 kilometers of overall range. Highway riding can offer even better range as most owners use their CBR250Rs for long distance touring due to its reliable nature.

CBR250R is available in Matte Axis Grey Metallic with Orange and Striking Green (two different shades), Pearl Sports Yellow and Sports Red shade. Front LED headlight is placed within the same sort of space and thus, one can replace their existing halogen units with this one easily. Instrument console on CBR250R is semi digital with analog tachometer and digital speedometer. Honda CBR250R rivals many bikes but closest possible option is KTM RC200.

 

The price gap is minimal between both these. When it comes to ABS variant, it challenges recently launched TVS Apache RR 310 in India. Both have a price gap of INR 22,000 in some states and just INR 3000 in Kerala.

honda has not utilised the 200/225cc segment as a compitutor to bazaz and in absence of hero with karizma r due to its failure with version2.hero is well with 100 to 150cc bikes like splender hunk impulse .so honda is to try 220/200cc bike with Rs 100000 because it has technology of karizma engine.Hornet will not work because hunk pulser tvs rtr are there its own bike unocorn is there.
