View Full Version : New to 250's - Just bought one.
Syphen 05-15-2008, 06:24 PM I bought a 1992 CBR250RR MC22 today. Its a toy project for me. I sold my F2 and have missed having an early 90's bike. I found a place that imports 250's and 400's. SO I figured why the heck not?

14 000km showing on the odo. It needs a little work here and there, but soon I'll have it shined up nice.

alejandrof2 05-27-2008, 03:15 PM lol dam looks nice and look big for a 250 if you dont know you will think is a 900rr from far away nice bike
now wy you went from a 600 cc to a 250cc?????????????????????????? :)
Syphen 05-27-2008, 09:06 PM Thanks,
I still have my F4.. but am looking at selling it right now to get another CBR250RR or a CBR400RR. I bought the 250 as a "toy" or project to play with.. and it turns out that I have not ridden my 600 since I bought it. The 250 will hit 170-180 km/h without much effort and in the twisties is just as quick, if not quicker then your average 600. It is a riot. It is much MUCH faster then a Ninja 250 because of the higher spec inline 4 engine that revs out forever. The other bonus is the fact that I pay virtually nothing on insurance (which is mandatory in Canada... and very expensive) for the 250 compared to the 600's.
rampratyow 06-20-2008, 09:19 AM That is one sweet looking bike, if I may ask where did you get, I recently bought a CBR 125R and I want something bigger like a 250 or 400 just enough to stay under the insurance radar but enough to have that extra bit of power when I need it. Thanks James
liquidengineer 07-03-2008, 12:12 PM Syphen, do you have contact info you can share on the importer?
Syphen 07-13-2008, 06:58 PM http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k100/syphen606/Image039.jpg
Windbell in Vancouver is good, Milliontrading in GTA and there is Nuak in GTA. I don't recommend Nuak because he is a jerk to deal with. A genuine knob.
I would love to find one here.

Stripped the lil bike down for a list of winter maintenance. About 2 feet of snow outside. :(
Tank is being repainted and coated on the inside. new fork seals, dust cover and a heavier oil. Rear shock is being revalved and a remote reservoir added. subframe is being blasted flat black. frame, polished back up to a new-like condition. Lots of cleaning.

Been a while since I posted some pics. Changed to EBC pro-lite rotors, Pazzo shorty levers. Some more things to come no doubt soon enough.

bradseabridge 07-10-2009, 08:39 PM i want one of these for my girl but can not find one anywhere
europe only?
alexmc22 07-11-2009, 05:12 AM They are all over the world some countries just rarer than others..
You may have to look at importing one can be pricey i believe.
Syphen 07-22-2009, 09:23 PM europe only?
Actually, they were never sold in Europe. The CBR250's were only sold in Japan and Australia. I got mine from an Importer in Toronto, ON (Canada).
Nice bike mate they are alot more fun to ride than people think aye .

The rotors were direct bolt on to the stock rim and use the stock brake mounts and calipers. They are fantastic. I ordered them from WE Moto in the UK.
geckert 07-25-2009, 12:09 PM How much did you pay for this baby? I am looking for a 250 to have some fun with and a CBR would be my #1 choice if I can afford one. Also could you provide more details about the importer? Website or Phone #. Thanks.
Michael S 01-21-2010, 08:50 AM Yea is there an importer for the 250rr's in the US? I'd like to pick one up for the girlfriend.
i'm new here in the forums....
i hope you don't mind me posting on your thread....just want to share pics of the 250R which i got last December, kept me busy with the restoration...still got some small stuff to take care of..
