A great stallion honda cbr 250r which deserved a fighting chance !!!
6 years ago
Sandeep Gorai
1. Buying experience: i had booked the re continental gt and the next day purchased the cbr250r as i couldn't. The bike was delivered in a day's time and i haven't regretted a single day till now.
2. Riding experience & 3. Details about looks, performance etc:
just 37500 kms young while writing this review, came back from 3800 kms trip. This beast can carry two people and their luggage without braking your bank and your back all day long at triple digit speeds.
4. Servicing and maintenance: mostly hassle-free experience, had issues with some part but in about 3 years,such issues are negligible.
Service cost around rs 1500-2500 for each service.
Service interval: 6000kms(but i know people who have run about 10k kms without servicing).
5. Pros and cons:
Pros:
Bullet-proof engine.
Comfortable in city traffic and out on the highway at triple digit speeds without breaking a sweat.
Incredible build quality: had to leap on crater-size potholes at high speeds without issue(not that i will suggest to do often). Great plastic quality,fairing can survive some pretty heavy falls.
Pretty good ground clearance and torque of engine can help conquer all speed breakers and lil-bit of off-roading.
Great spread of headlight for night rides and over-average wind protection
Although no mechanical update in 5 years,still can keep up with newbies in the market today.
Jack of all trades without any compromise.
Cons:
Always deserved an update and factory tires could be first thing to change.

Everlasting performance
7 years ago
Pranav J I
Style
style is not out dated, even after 6 years of its launch
engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox
mileage is best in its class, smooth and cool engine unlike ktm bikes, economic too, not even a single gear slip. Cabs save ur life everytime
ride quality & handling
handling is pretty good but not as good as ktm rc 390, but ride qulaity is just awesome. No strain or back pain
final words
would i reccommend it to a friend who is confused between ktm rc390 , r15 and dominar ?
yes with boths thumbs up
areas of improvement
console can be updated, the option to turn off abs
pros
styling , cabs, comfort, engine smoothness,
cons
no option to turn off abs, haven't updated the console since 2011

Time saving machine

Tony
I love this bike it is a time saving machine. Riding is so smooth. We can use this bike for tour and daily rides. This is not a good bike in rush traffic areas best fuel capacity get a 34/pl . Breaking is perfect but need a good tyres service is little costly. Use green filter to use better performance tank

well that is the only down side. when you compare with some other bike you feel you pay too much for the spares. especially the brake pads.. which is with the ninja 300 and r3 segment price.

An evergreen legend
2 years ago
Srimonmohandas
Its rare to get but managed to get a used bike with only 13k kms covered. Riding experience is superb and especially backside comfort is excellent. Look wise the bike is so attractive but when come to riding it is heaven. The power delivery is linear but on need it is seldom available after a 5k rpm range. It is a gem that honda ever made, but still confused why they called it back.

1. Buying experience: i had booked the re continental gt and the next day purchased the cbr250r as i couldn't. The bike was delivered in a day's time and i haven't regretted a single day till now.
2. Riding experience & 3. Details about looks, performance etc:
just 37500 kms young while writing this review, came back from 3800 kms trip. This beast can carry two people and their luggage without braking your bank and your back all day long at triple digit speeds.
4. Servicing and maintenance: mostly hassle-free experience, had issues with some part but in about 3 years,such issues are negligible.
Service cost around rs 1500-2500 for each service.
Service interval: 6000kms(but i know people who have run about 10k kms without servicing).
5. Pros and cons:
Pros:
Bullet-proof engine.
Comfortable in city traffic and out on the highway at triple digit speeds without breaking a sweat.
Incredible build quality: had to leap on crater-size potholes at high speeds without issue(not that i will suggest to do often). Great plastic quality,fairing can survive some pretty heavy falls.
Pretty good ground clearance and torque of engine can help conquer all speed breakers and lil-bit of off-roading.
Great spread of headlight for night rides and over-average wind protection
Although no mechanical update in 5 years,still can keep up with newbies in the market today.
Jack of all trades without any compromise.
Cons:
Always deserved an update and factory tires could be first thing to change.

Everlasting performance
7 years ago
Pranav J I
Style
style is not out dated, even after 6 years of its launch
engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox
mileage is best in its class, smooth and cool engine unlike ktm bikes, economic too, not even a single gear slip. Cabs save ur life everytime
ride quality & handling
handling is pretty good but not as good as ktm rc 390, but ride qulaity is just awesome. No strain or back pain
final words
would i reccommend it to a friend who is confused between ktm rc390 , r15 and dominar ?
yes with boths thumbs up
areas of improvement
console can be updated, the option to turn off abs
pros
styling , cabs, comfort, engine smoothness,
cons
no option to turn off abs, haven't updated the console since 2011

Time saving machine
6 years ago
Tony
I love this bike it is a time saving machine. Riding is so smooth. We can use this bike for tour and daily rides. This is not a good bike in rush traffic areas best fuel capacity get a 34/pl . Breaking is perfect but need a good tyres service is little costly. Use green filter to use better performance tank

well that is the only down side. when you compare with some other bike you feel you pay too much for the spares. especially the brake pads.. which is with the ninja 300 and r3 segment price.

An evergreen legend

Srimonmohandas
Its rare to get but managed to get a used bike with only 13k kms covered. Riding experience is superb and especially backside comfort is excellent. Look wise the bike is so attractive but when come to riding it is heaven. The power delivery is linear but on need it is seldom available after a 5k rpm range. It is a gem that honda ever made, but still confused why they called it back.

Default tyres are not prescribed as per friends experience I would suggest Michelin pilot. Clean and lube chains every 500 kms for chain life.
