Our take on this /// Verdict

The Honda CBR250R Tri Color STD is a versatile and practical sports motorcycle that still holds its ground in the Indian market. From my experience, this bike excels in several key areas. The engine is smooth and refined, with minimal vibrations until higher RPMs, making it comfortable for both city rides and long highway cruises. The braking system, particularly the three-pot Nissins, is exceptional and provides excellent modulation. However, there are some drawbacks, such as the jittery suspension at slow speeds and the somewhat committed riding position that can cause wrist pains for some riders. Despite these, the bikes overall performance, heat management, and fuel efficiency make it a compelling choice for those seeking a balance between sportiness and practicality.

Price

When the Honda CBR250R was launched in India, the ex-showroom price for the STD version was around 1.77 lakh to 1.94 lakh, depending on the region. On-road prices, including taxes, registration, and other costs, would typically range from 2.1 lakh to 2.4 lakh. While prices may have fluctuated over time due to market conditions and updates, this bike remains a value-for-money proposition given its performance, build quality, and low maintenance costs. The price difference between the STD and ABS versions is notable, with the ABS version costing around 2 lakh ex-showroom, but the added safety feature is well worth the extra cost.

Latest Updates

Sunday, 01 December 2013 02:07 PM Despite the introduction of newer models, the Honda CBR250R Tri Color STD remains a popular choice in the Indian market due to its proven performance, reliability, and aesthetic appeal. The bikes legacy as one of the most awarded motorcycles in India continues to attract new buyers. I believe its enduring popularity is a testament to Hondas engineering and design.

Tuesday, 10 September 2013 08:08 AM The Honda CBR250R Tri Color STD has also been noted for its comfort and practicality. Features like the adjustable rear monoshock and the well-designed ergonomics make it a comfortable ride for long distances. Additionally, the bikes fuel tank capacity of 13 liters ensures that riders can cover significant distances without frequent fuel stops. I think this balance of performance and comfort is a major selling point.

Saturday, 15 June 2013 01:08 PM Honda has continued to support the CBR250R with periodic updates and new color schemes, keeping the model fresh in the market. The Tri Color STD, in particular, has been a hit among young riders who appreciate its sporty look and robust performance. I believe Hondas strategy to keep the model updated has helped maintain its popularity.

Friday, 01 March 2013 03:45 AM The Tri Color STD model of the Honda CBR250R has faced some criticism regarding its stock tires, with many owners opting for aftermarket options like Michelin or Duke 200/390 tires for better grip and stability. Despite this, the bikes overall performance and handling have been praised by many riders. I think the aftermarket tire options really enhance the riding experience.

Thursday, 20 December 2012 10:43 AM In terms of maintenance, the Honda CBR250R Tri Color STD requires fully synthetic oil for optimal performance. Owners have reported good results with Hondas OEM synthetic oil, which is relatively affordable compared to other brands like Motul. Regular oil changes every 5,500 km are recommended to keep the engine in top condition. I believe proper maintenance is key to enjoying this bikes performance.

Monday, 15 October 2012 06:18 PM The Honda CBR250R Tri Color STD has a stylish and aerodynamic design, with a full fairing that improves its sports character. The bike features a digital instrument cluster with a blue backlight, wide tubeless tires, and a split seat for both rider and pillion comfort. The bikes ground clearance is 145 mm, and it has a kerb weight of 163 kg, making it manageable for riders of various skill levels. I think the design is both functional and visually appealing.

Friday, 10 August 2012 12:07 PM One of the standout features of the Honda CBR250R Tri Color STD is its braking system, which includes a Combined Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS) for enhanced safety. The bike has disc brakes at both the front and rear, with the front brake being a 296 mm disc and the rear a 220 mm disc. This setup provides reliable braking performance, though some riders have noted a desire for more bite from the front brakes. I believe the C-ABS is a crucial safety feature that sets this bike apart.

Monday, 28 May 2012 07:01 AM The Honda CBR250R Tri Color STD comes with a 249.6 cc DOHC liquid-cooled engine, producing 26.15 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 22.9 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm. The bike features a six-speed gearbox and a wet multiplate clutch, making it a joy to ride on both city roads and highways. The bikes suspension includes a telescopic front fork and a spring-loaded hydraulic monoshock at the rear, ensuring a smooth ride. I think the suspension setup is one of the highlights of this bike.

Thursday, 15 March 2012 05:04 PM Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. launched the CBR250R in March 2011, revolutionizing the performance category in India. By the time the Tri Color STD was introduced, the bike had already gained significant popularity and respect, earning it the title of India’s Most Awarded Motorcycle in 2011. The bikes advanced features, such as the DOHC engine, Combined Anti-lock Braking System, and electronically controlled fuel injection, were major selling points. I believe these features set a new standard for sports bikes in India.

Wednesday, 29 February 2012 11:18 AM The Honda CBR250R Tri Color STD has been a favorite among Indian motorcyclists for its sleek design and performance. In 2012, Honda introduced the Tri-color Pearl Heron Blue model, which was inspired by the VFR1200F and CBR 1000RR Fireblade superbikes. This new color scheme was a significant aesthetic upgrade, appealing to young Indian riders. The bike was priced at Rs 1.45 lakh for the standard model and Rs 1.70 lakh for the C-ABS version. I think this move really boosted the bikes appeal in the Indian market.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 08:51 AM The Honda CBR250R is known for its decent fuel efficiency, which is a crucial factor for many Indian buyers. In city traffic, you can expect around 25-30 kml, while on highways, this figure can rise to 35-40 kml. These numbers make it a relatively economical choice for daily commuting as well as occasional long rides. The fuel efficiency, combined with its low maintenance costs, helps in keeping the running costs manageable.
