Honda CBR250R Summary
The Honda CBR250R is Honda's 250cc single-cylinder sportbike that competes with the other fully faired machines in a similar price bracket. The 2018 model year CBR250R has two big changes: one, it is now BS4 compliant, and two, there is an LED headlamp. The rest of the motorcycle stays unchanged other than a tweak to the shape of the headlamp. It will be available in two colours - orange and green. The green was on display at the Auto Expo and is reminiscent of the Hornet's colour and graphics combination. The engine remains a 249cc fuel-injected single that is liquid cooled with 26bhp and 23Nm running through a six-speed gearbox. Braking is delivered by a 296mm front disc and 220mm rear disc. As always, ABS with CBS will be an option. The 2018 Honda CBR250R will compete with the TVS Apache RR310, KTM RC200, Yamaha Fazer 25, and Bajaj Pulsar RS200.

Best reliable 250cc bike with sporty look
15 weeks ago
Srikanth
The Honda CBR 250R (Red) is an absolute gem for anyone who values reliability, style, and performance. The bike not only looks super cool with its striking red colour and sporty design, but it also delivers a smooth and powerful pickup that makes every ride exciting.Honda’s build quality truly shines here — the engine feels refined, and the bike remains stable and comfortable even at higher speeds. It’s perfect for both daily commutes and long rides, with a strong reputation for low maintenance and long-term reliability.Overall, the CBR 250R is a perfect blend of performance and looks, a bike that turns heads wherever it goes and gives you complete confidence on the road.

Awesome perfomance, the legend of its ERA. True definition of sports. A perfect blend of power and practicality — the CBR 250R is a sport-tourer you can ride every day." Aggressive looks with a relaxed riding position—ideal for city and highway alike. Great value for money for those seeking sporty performance with Honda dependability.

The engine of the bike is good, the average of the bike is good, and the overall performance of the bike is good. The look is also good.When you go to the service center for service, the people there are good and so is the service center. The company has good service centers at many places. I would like to recommend this to people. If someone wants to buy a Honda bike, then the CBR bike is very good. You can buy.

The bike is light in weight and it feels safe and fun to ride in the city and highway. The mileage of the bike is also around 40kmpl and the power bike produce is just phenomenal. As a Honda company, the reliability is awesome and it will just be counted as a long-term investment as we can easily use the bike for more than 5 years without any issue.

No words to explain what it is to own this engineering marvel and when I say that it's not out of excitement and exaggeration just the pleasure of riding one will make you feel what exactly I am trying to say the comfort, reliability, power and performance is all mind blowing and will just sweep you off your feet.

Yash Patange
1.It costed inr 1.8 lakh to buy at authorized showroom 2. It is suitable for riding at open spaces...Not for daily commuting basically 3. Looks are dashing... Performance is good 4. Servicing and maintaining would burn half of your daily income 5. Pros:- good for racing, cons:- too expensive and heavy to take u-turn and maintaining.

Tips for other riders
My bike has tubeless tyres...So tubeless tyres might be perfect or long rides and never park two wheelers over open parking space....It might get damaged.

I bought my bike at planet honda dasarahalli as i had a friend working there. Booking experience was good but the delivery of the vehicle was delayed too much. Speaking about the riding experience its the smoothest 250 you'll ever drive. It just glides on the road. It looks more like 600 than a 250.Grabs attention soon. Performance on the highway is the best in a cbr250r. Servicing and maintenance is a little bit of problem because there are only 3 honda authorized service centres in bangalore. The basic maintenance like brake pads cost 2000 per pair where as the same sized brake pads cost 600 from bajaj.

Tips for other riders
Change oil after 6000kms and the continental tyres on the CBR offer very less wet grip. Michelin's are better.

Riding exp very good at 70-120 kmph Not good in low power it's bad. Looks also good. Not bad in perfomance. Very worst, i'm never go back no bikes with honda because they have in world class worst workshop if u order bike spark plug it arrived at minimum 8 days not only spark plug all of parts.U have only deal with honda service to get spares or import from other countries i sold my cbr250 at 30000 but i am now very happy with pulsar rs 200.

Big disaster in my life after changing after changing 5 bikes.
6 years ago
Soumya Pratik Roy
1. I am always a pulsar lover I had a Rs200. But I think to buy a CBR 250R for its refined engine and less vibration. But it was a big disaster to me.2. While I am ride this bike my wrist got pain in within 5 minutes for its handle vibration. When I rev this bike I think I rev a splender not a 250cc engine. This is not a rev happy bike like pulsar or any other sports bike. Being a 250 cc engine it can touch only 145km/h. But being a 200cc my pulsar RS200 can touch 146km/h easy. Everybody says that bajaj's gearbox is bad it sometime stuck when you up or down shift your gear. I also agree with them. If bajaj's gearbox is bad then CBR250r's gearbox is worst. It always stuck. I went for a long ride with my cbr around 400km. My left leg is getting pain for its gear stuck. In city I got 23kmpl.3. In looks its very eye-catching. But I think it is outdated. 4. Pros. Road presence Cons. All things you think are cons.

Stay away from honda cbr-250r bs4 editions.
6 years ago
Shankar
Beware it’s just the name honda sells in india not a quality product or service now a days.I am already a victim of this, so just sharing my experience. Most of the ownership reviews you find online are for older editions which make you fall for cbr250r if you like refinement.So does most of the bike rental services like wicked ride or drivezy have older 2016-17 editions and they are awesome to experience.That was my validation & research before i bought the cbr on may 10th 2019. (cbr 250r sep 2018 manufactured)Issues i faced from day 1 of bike delivery are:1.Heavy engine vibrations due to slipped engine mount bolts also they replaced rocker arm, cam, shims & sprocket set to address overall vibrations. 2.Handle wobbling between 70-80 kmph, they replaced cone set assembly and didn’t resolve the issue. It seems they are defective tyres, they replaced rear tyre still issue not resolved.3.Metal clicking noise from frames and under tank. Issue was addressed by applying foam tape between frame (chassis) and tank and side body panels.4.Asc damaged radiator during water wash- which they had to replace after a fight proving their incompetence.Most of the new bs4 cbrs have these vibrations issues just check any cbr forum on fb or online.. In a nutshell you might be lucky to get a good unit. However, ascs service competence is crap. You will suffer with their trial and error method of fixing issues.They trust in your patience to cover their incompetence. My 79 days old cbr250 r spent 30 days in ascs - 8 attempts - still handle wobbling issue is not fixed.Hmsi blr regional head is also aligned for this since 3 weeks for last 3 attempts.

Attractive look of new cbr 250r
6 years ago
Javed Saifi
Buying experience was all good. So easily i got the bike.Riding this bike is awesome, but it could be better than awesome if this bike has more torque.Looks are very attractive and performance could be better if they added some new technology like ktm.Servicing and maintenance is good.
