Honda CBR 250R

Once you sit on the CBR250R and pick up the side stand, you'll quickly realize how petite this bike is and standing it up, it is as light as a 100cc moped, thanks to the bike single piston lightweight engine, trellis type frame and the engine being placed as far back as possible, the bike's weight are all directed under the rider, hiding it's actual 161kg weight which is in reality only 5kg less than the Ninja 250R. Turn on the key, and you'll be greeted with a modern feel of bike checks, speedometer checks, tachometer checks, and the engine check light will light up while the fuel pump prime the injectors, and once the yellow light is gone, all that is needed is a simple push of the start button and the engine roars, ehm.. well, purrs to life instantaneously, the EFI seems to be doing its job pretty well balancing the mixtures on a cold start.

Now here is something else you'll quickly love or hate on this bike, everything is light! It has huge bright lights, the whole bike feels light, the clutch is feather light and so is the brakes, the steering, the rear suspension, the gear changes are super positive, super light, well, let there be light they say, and Honda provides.
