Honda CBR250RR Teaser Released

Honda's Indonesian importer Astra Honda has released a teaser video of the CBR250RR, bringing the highly awaited motorcycle back into focus for enthusiasts globally. The eagerly anticipated Honda CBR250RR quarter litre supersports motorcycle has been teased for the first time, signalling that the world premiere is not far away.

Based on the Light Weight Super Sport Concept showcased at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, the CBR250RR will be Honda's answer to the tremendously grown quarter-litre segment and will compete with the likes of the Kawasaki Ninja 300,Yamaha YZF-R25/R3 and the likes. That said, Honda is expected to set the new benchmark in the segment with the CBR250RR.

The aggressive multi-surface fuel tank with matte finish sets the tone for the design. Highlights include clip-on handlebars, split seats, contrast red finish for the tailpiece, USD front fork and single front disc. 

In terms of power, the Hodna CBR250RR will be using a 250cc liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder motor that is expected to produce a shade under 40bhp of power and around 30Nm of torque. The motor will be paired to a 6-speed gearbox. Odds are the 250cc twin-cylinder version could be restricted for other Asian markets given the taxation policy based on engine displacement these countries; while a host of nations in the West could get an updated 350cc twin-cylinder unit with more power on tap.
