i'm afraid the hope of a new 250 cbr if not happening, I checked Honda japan and Australia with no mention on either. The 125 is available in Canada. I wish like so many others that Honda would see the value. They sell the nighthawk and Rebel.Why not a CBR?

 

I dont own one but been looking to get my wifey a 08+ 250r so I've sat on one a few times

Its a lil less wide, more upright sittings with its bar raisers. Tires are not as wide so its appears smaller.

 

That's a different (older) model though -- this one is supposed to be a single cylander like the 125cc they have now.

The cbr 250 I remember was at least a parallel twin -- otherwise it wouldn't be able to compete with the kawi ex250 p2 (zx250r in some places) and no where near the zxr250 inline 4.

 

Lol. I kind of wished I had started off with a 250r, so when i eventually worked my way up to a 600. Not because it's harder to ride, but so I would appreciate the 600 more lol. For me, the 600 is my motorcycle benchmark. That's what I see now as the "baseline" for a motorcycle. I really can't see myself getting a 750 or a 1k though in the future... So where do I go from here? Lol. I guess i'll be a 600 rider forever

 

Ren you say that as if riding a 600 forever is a bad thing.

 

The page is up! Its a fuel injected 250 thumper! It does exist.

That's tight for a 250! Wonder about price/weight? Sure looks better than a Rebel!

 

It will be way better than a rebel, ha ha! I agree it looks really good. I too wonder about the price

 

I'm sure the power output will be modest. The thumper makes sense as it should have decent torque. The kawi will likely kill it on the top end.
