Honda CBR 250 R | Engine Design
Click the images below for bigger versions:
The 2011 Honda CBR250R motorcycle engine development took shape by aiming at a global single-cylinder design; a next-generation four-stroke liquid-cooled powerplant that would deliver torquey performance not only at low engine speeds but also in the high-rpm range, while still being smooth-running beginners motorcycle.
Being a global motorcycle, the 250cc economical operation in terms of fuel efficiency and simple servicing was also a stated Honda characteristic. In addition, Honda wanted the lightweight CBR250R engine to be compact dimensions would set the stage for beginning motorcycle rider handling characteristics.
Honda selected a dual overhead camshaft layout as the valve actuation system. The DOHC designs improve combustion efficiency by reducing the weight of the reciprocating portion of the valves.
This design also allowed Honda motorcycle engineers freedom in choosing the included valve angle, the port shape, and the shape of the combustion chamber. In addition, the choice of a DOHC configuration contributed to improved product appeal as a CBR sportbike.
The 2011 CBR250R valve train, has a roller rocker arm that was adopted in combination with the DOHC engine configuration, a-world-first application that has been patented by Honda. This unique combination produces a low-friction valve train with a smaller cylinder head and an ultra-compact layout for the roller rocker arm.
The choice of a shim design for valve tappet adjustment reduced the rocker arm weight, while internal engine friction was further reduced by setting the valve spring load to a low level. For ease of maintenance and reduced operating costs, the CBR250R valve shims can be replaced for valve adjustment maintenance without removing the camshafts.
This Honda CBR 250 R design also allowed the engineers the freedom to incorporate a pent-roof combustion chamber with a narrow included valve angle for enhanced combustion characteristics.
To reduce the flow of blow-by gasses and minimize oil consumption, a spiny sleeve design was adopted for the Honda cylinder sleeve. Small spines have been added to the outer surface of the cylinder sleeve to improve CBR250R cooling performance and help reduce distortion of the cylinder inner shape.
In addition, centrifugal casting allows a thin, uniform wall thickness, which helps reduce the weight of the motorcycle. For emissions reductions, an O2 sensor is combined with the built-in air injection (AI) system, and a catalyzer is fitted inside the exhaust pipe to comply with emissions standards.
To enhance motorcycle engine performance, a very over-square, short-stroke 250cc engine (bore x stroke: 76mm x 55mm) was chosen to improve responsiveness. The resulting bore and stroke are commensurate to those of the CBR 1000 RR, Honda's superbike.
The 30mm intake valves are a mere half-millimeter smaller in diameter than those used in the CBR1000RR, while the 24mm diameters of the exhaust valves match exactly between the two bikes.
To reduce reciprocating weight and friction, the Honda CBR250R piston carries a very short skirt and features a slick molybdenum coating. Friction was further reduced by creating light striations on the piston to facilitate retention of lubricating engine oil, lowering the tension of the piston rings, and applying a smooth, shot-peen-hardened finish to the piston pin.
Another slick bit of Honda CBR250R design work further reduces engine friction: The cylinder centerline is offset from the center of the crankshaft 4mm toward the exhaust side. Doing so reduces the lateral resistance generated between the piston and the cylinder during the power stroke. It's a small increment, but the design element yields stated benefits.
To boost the CBR250R power output from low- through high-rpm ranges, Honda improved charging efficiency by straightening flow pathways from the air cleaner to the exhaust pipe. The motorcycle valve stems have been made thin (4.5mm) so as to not impede intake and exhaust flow, although valve diameters are large for both sets of valves.
This CBR250R valve design is coupled with a wide opening angle and a high-lift cam to improve intake/exhaust efficiency. To achieve output characteristics that are easy to handle at low speed and smooth rev-up at high rpm, the intake/exhaust systems were thoroughly analyzed and tested to adopt the ideal port/pipe length and diameter.
In designing the CBR250R crankshaft, no efforts were spared to reduce weight in order to lower the inertial mass while achieving additional weight reduction in the connecting rod. This new-generation crankshaft helps create an engine full of high-quality feel while maintaining high output.
First, a metal bearing (half-split, press-fit) was chosen for the crank journal for the first time on a Honda single-cylinder motorcycle. A cast-iron bushing was selected for the crank bearing section in order to improve the rigidity of the crankcase housing and control changes in the crank journal's oil clearance arising from thermal expansion, while improving engine quietness.
Selection of a built-up -type crankshaft allows the big end of the connecting rod to use a low-friction roller bearing, and the optimal crank web shape was realized as a result of a computer analysis of strength and rigidity.
To reduce motorcycle engine vibration, a primary balancer shaft is incorporated into this cutting-edge CBR250R single-cylinder engine. It's placed so close to the crankshaft that the balancer weight passes between the two crank weights-a design that keeps the motorcycle engine compact, while helping improve mass centralization.
Also, the 2011 Honda CBR250R motorcycle crankshaft rigidity is enhanced further and quietness is improved by placing the engine counterbalancer's driving gear on the right cover inside the clutch housing-a design that narrows the distance between the left/right crank bearings and efficiently places a load-bearing ball bearing at the tip of the crankshaft's right side.

MV Agusta F3
When it comes to understanding motorcycles, Italians perhaps do it better than any other nation. So when attendees at last month’s EICMA show in Milan were polled to find the “Most Beautiful Bike,” MV Agusta’s F3 was the easy winner, pulling in an extra 18 percentage points over the runner-up Ducati Diavel.
It only takes a short glance at the F3 to realize it’s something special. Its chiseled styling makes for an immediately positive first impression, which is then underlined by a sexy single-sided swingarm and one of the coolest exhaust systems ever, a triple-pipe shorty outlet that is a symphony of design.
Symphonic, too, should be the sound of the 675cc three-cylinder engine at full song. We’re huge fans of Triumph’s 675 Triple, both its sound and character, so we’ve got some high expectations for MV’s version.
“I think the Triumph is such an excellent performer, and so a bike of the same displacement and intent from legendary maker MV Agusta could have as much or more potential as the Triumph,” Pete comments. “Bonus to the forthcoming F3 is MV’s promise of traction control for the sleek-looking Italian Triple.”
Honda CB1000R
We love naked bikes around here. Their combination of sporty handling and power combined with day-to-day livable ergonomics ticks most of our boxes of what we look for from a motorcycle. The aforementioned Tuono is a good example, as is Kawasaki’s recent Z1000.With that in mind, we’re sure to enjoy Honda’s CB1000R, even if it’s been available since 2008 across the Atlantic badged as the Hornet. Its edgy and futuristic appearance looks advanced without being too outlandish. Its engine is derived from the previous CBR1000RR, detuned with smaller throttle bodies and lower compression to yield a claimed 123 crankshaft horsepower at 10,000 rpm, nearly matching the output of Kawasaki’s Z1000 and Ninja 1000 siblings.
Despite the 1000R’s retuned motor, it is no slow poke. Our Canadian correspondent says it was still pulling at an indicated 150 mph when he sampled it on a racetrack earlier this year. The CB’s chassis behavior was also judged to be good, as it uses an aluminum frame, a fully adjustable 43mm inverted fork, and a shock adjustable for rebound damping and spring preload.
“Turn-in is quick enough to give the impression we were riding a middleweight roadster,” reported our Canuck tester.
The CB1000R will arrive in American dealers this spring at a $10,999 MSRP. CBs destined for the U.S. will have standard radial-mount brakes, while Canadian versions will ship only with Honda’s Combined ABS, retailing for CDN$13,999 up north.
“The bike ought to be a tremendously versatile, fun machine able to do anything from sport touring to track days,” Jeff predicts. “It ought to be a great model, and give a fight back to Kawasaki.”
Ducati Diavel
Last year Ducati smacked us with an adventure-touring surprise in the form of the oddball Multistrada, which we’ve since tested and loved several times. For 2011, Ducati further expands its customer base with the Diavel, a weird new roadster built within the power-cruiser idiom. Despite the cruiser analogies, those at Ducati who have ridden the Diavel say it doesn’t really share any cruiser qualities. They promise a level of handling far beyond anything with a cruiser label, including a respectable 41-degree lean angle. And with a retuned version of the strong 1200cc V-Twin from the Multistrada, expectations are for a unique and stimulating ride.
“Let's see,” Pete muses. “A motorcycle with a claimed 162 hp and 94 ft-lbs joined by ABS, traction control, rider-selectable engine mapping, a slipper clutch and a monstrous 240mm rear tire from Pirelli. I like most cruisers, but I think I'll like Ducati's interpretation of a cruiser even more.”
Diavel prices start at $16,995 when they hit dealers around March, 2011.

New 2011 Aprilia Shiver 750
As with every Aprilia product, the Shiver 750 has a highly innovative design where form and function come together to create an almost perfect object. The New 2011 Aprilia Shiver 750 is pure technology and this is evident in its sharp, sporty lines.
The frame and engine, both brand new, are the foundations of the design and are also, rightly, the main elements characterising the look of the Shiver 750. Each element has been designed to be not just beautiful but also functional. The design is refined, but at the same time clean-cut, without too many frills for the maximum possible functionality. The Aprilia Shiver 750 exhaust is also a very distinctive design element. On the Aprilia Shiver 750, the technical component becomes a design element at the same time, creating a bike both aggressive and at the same time elegant.
The tank-seat-tail assembly further emphasises the compactness of the bike. The rider becomes one with the machine, perfectly integrated in the short, agile, and sporty bike. This helps establish an immediate feeling between the rider and the bike, making everyone feel as if they have always been riding it. The strongly tapering tail also incorporates the twin exhaust with triangular silencers, a feature which makes the design even more aggressive, while keeping weight distribution highly symmetrical.
The Aprilia Shiver 750 is compact, functional and attractive. The adoption of a side shock absorber not only adds a further distinctive feature to the look of the bike, but also enables a rational and compact exhaust system to be fitted.
THE V90 ENGINE: TECHNOLOGY IN THE PURE STATE
The V90 engine inherits all Aprilia's experience in high performance mechanics. Endless hours of bench and road tests have produced a genuine masterpiece of mechanical engineering, capable not just of high performance, but also complete reliability. Thanks to its particular technical characteristics, the Aprilia V90 combines high specific power with maximum usability and easy riding.
A generous twin cylinder heart, destined to set new performance and technology standards for medium powered bikes. The engine has been designed by the Aprilia Research and Development department which set out to create a powerful and reliable engine requiring very limited maintenance.
The quest for performance at the top of its class led to the adoption of a number of advanced and innovative technical features:
• 90° V engine layout;
• Ride-by-Wire technology;
• Highly over-square bore and stroke ratio;
• Four valves per cylinder;
• Double overhead camshaft with mixed chain and gear drive;
• Electronic fuel injection with two throttle bodies;
• Plug caps with integrated stick-coils;
• Three way catalytic converter and Lambda probe oxygen sensor;
• Hydraulically operated clutch;
For this type of bike, the 90° V arrangement of the cylinders was found to be the best solution in terms of performance and size. With consistently generous torque available across a wide range of revs and negligible vibrations, the Aprilia V2 750 is full and powerful at the top of its class.
The timing deserves special mention. Motion is transmitted to the four valves per cylinder and double camshaft by a mixed gear/chain system. This technical application, already adopted by Aprilia in the V60 mounted on the RSV 1000 R, enables the size of the engine to be kept down, while guaranteeing more precise and reliable valve timing. The chain is shorter, for less overall stress and a longer working life; this makes the engine shorter.
The latest generation injection system uses fine atomising injectors. This solution, combined with advanced fluid dynamics ensures optimum combustion for an engine which is not just more powerful, but cleaner too.
The sophisticated electronic management makes the Aprilia Shiver 750 a new benchmark. In the Aprilia Shiver 750, integral Ride-by-Wire technology becomes standard equipment for the first time in the history of motorcycling. The electronic accelerator management optimises opening of the throttle bodies according to numerous parameters, including engine speed, gear selected, the degree of throttle opening of closing and the speed of throttle movement, temperature and atmospheric pressure.
The engine is therefore always able to offer optimum performance in acceleration and pick-up and the lowest possible consumption for a still more fluid and profitable ride. This innovative solution guarantees even fuller and more regular output at low and medium speeds, optimising running of the engine, even with the choke.
Thanks to the technology used, the Aprilia V90 manages to deliver exceptionally high power for the engine configuration. Maximum power of 95 HP at 9000 revs and maximum torque of 81 Nm at 7000 revs are excellent for a twin of this capacity. The high torque available even at low speeds makes the Aprilia Shiver 750 incomparable to ride on mixed routes.
A latest generation engine management unit controls all engine parameters. All data passes through a CAN (Controlled Area Network) line to the instrument panel, which also acts as a diagnostic terminal. The CAN line uses just two cables to transmit all data. This simplifies the electrical system enormously as well as reducing the total weight of the bike.
The exhaust is made entirely from stainless steel. The manifolds come together under the seat in a single silencer with twin tail pipes. The large volume (10 litres) contributes to perfect engine breathing for excellent efficiency.
THE FRAME: RATIONALITY AND EFFICIENCY
Experts have always acknowledged that Aprilia bikes have the best chassis in their class. The Aprilia Shiver 750 is concrete confirmation that once again Aprilia has managed to create a chassis which is both extremely easy and intuitive and incredibly high performance. The frame exploits all the knowledge Aprilia has gained in racing and also draws on new studies on mixed structures with the futuristic RXV and SXV, already winners of a number of titles on the racetrack. The top part of the tubular steel trellis is connected to large side plates by means of special high strength bolts. This creates an extremely rigid lightweight frame, the best solution to harness all the horsepower of the Aprilia V90.
Creation of an Aprilia bike always involves synergy between chassis and engine engineers. The fundamental design choices for the V90 engine led to construction of a highly rational and efficient frame. The reduced longitudinal dimensions of the engine made it possible to obtain a short, agile bike, helped by the particular side positioning of the shock absorber, not a simple cosmetic mannerism, but a precise technical decision which created valuable space for the exhaust manifolds whose shape and size have been calibrated perfectly to ensure maximum engine efficiency. This enabled the optimum exhaust manifold configuration to be obtained, without too heavily affecting the length of the bike and without exposing the shock absorber, a fundamental element for the ride, to heat stress.
The aluminium swingarm with reinforcement truss has been sized specifically to support the asymmetrical stresses caused by lateral positioning of the shock absorber. The rigidity of the swingarm sets new standards for the class.
SUSPENSION
Optimum definition of the suspension is an obsession for Aprilia designers. Even such a "simple" bike as a extroverted must have the best possible available. The Aprilia Shiver750 therefore stands out from the pack in this delicate area as well.
The 43 mm upside down fork with forged feet to support the radial calipers provides benchmark smoothness. The 120 mm wheel travel makes the bike equally at home on abouttown trips and mountain routes. The bottom steering yoke is made from forged aluminium, the top steering yoke from forged aluminium.
The side shock absorber rests directly on the swingarm, according to the cantilever principle, and provides adjustments for spring preload and hydraulic rebound. Rear wheel travel is 130 mm.
THE BRAKES
The best technology currently available is incorporated in the Aprilia Shiver 750, the first medium powered extroverted with a radial caliper system, a feature emphasising evenfurther (as if it were needed) the sporty personality of the design. The 320 mm front discs are the same as used in the racing flagships, the RSV 1000 R and Tuono 1000 R.
At the back, a 245 mm disc with single piston caliper provides adequate backup for the front circuit.
The front and rear braking circuits both use aeronautical metal braid hoses to eliminate the pressure variations associated with conventional rubber brake lines,guaranteeing maximum braking precision for a top level system.
COMPONENTS
- The Matrix instrument panel: the combined digital and analog instrument panel receives all the data over a CAN line and acts as an integral part of theself-diagnostics system as it also has a memory. The design is extremely modern, compact and lightweight. All functions can be switched by means of the handlebar control.The LED backlighting can be adjusted to three levels: white in the analogue zone and red in the digital zone.
- The biconical aluminium handlebars are a direct reference to the handlebars of the Tuono, Aprilia's extroverted flagship. Maximum lightness and maximum control. A topquality component no other bike in its class can boast.
- The double parabola front light has complex surfaces and a double parking light.
- The advanced hydraulically operated clutch ensures constantly precise action and amazingly smooth engagement, and offers all the convenience of self-adjustment formaintenance free use.
Descriptions, codes, pricing and illustrations provided in this configuration may be subject to change over time.
2011 Aprilia Shiver 750
The 2011 750 Shiver’s sportier styling guarantees a comfortable ride on short or long trips. A short windshield, wave brake rotors and rear set rider foot pegs show off race-inspired styling changes direct from Italy. A narrower saddle and narrower rear wheel guarantee smooth bike control on any surface.
Multi-map Ride by Wire technology, as found on the RSV4 superbike, comes standard with the 2011 Shiver. With the simple push of a button, a rider can choose between Sport, Touring, and Rain for whichever mode suites his or her needs.
2011 Aprilia Shiver 750 Features
A V-90 engine with a maximum output of 95 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 81 Nm at 7,000 rpm promises the right amount of power for wherever you ride. The 2011 Aprilia 750 Shiver is available in Aprilia Black or Crowd Silver
It is certainly no easy matter to take the lead in a class as fiercely competitive as the medium powered extroverted class. A class where the battle is not just about technology and performance, but also design, component rationality and riding ease and pleasure, elements which are not always compatible and are particularly demanding for designers and engineers.
Aprilia has picked up this challenge and interpreted it by applying its own successful philosophy to a completely new design, destined to set new standards for years to come. A bike both strongly aggressive and at the same time clean-cut and elegant, in perfect Aprilia style. A bike at the top of its class for its sporty personality, designed on the basis of the know-how of a company which has to date won 250 world championship victories.
The pride of all Aprilia bikes, refined mechanics and a top class chassis, are once again the key to the success of the Shiver 750.
The Aprilia Shiver 750 is the extroverted everyone was waiting for. A design able to satisfy the disparate needs of those buying this type of bike. From everyday use to a trip along mountain passes or use on the racetrack, the Aprilia Shiver 750 is completely at home in any situation, guaranteeing pure riding pleasure at all times.
Light, agile and powerful, it has a new generation engine and the most advanced technical features in its class. The brand new 90° V2 produced entirely in-house by Aprilia is extremely compact. Above all, thanks to the advanced electronic management, it can deliver a level of power comparable to four cylinder engines in the same class, but with much more favourable torque at low revs for an efficient and pleasing ride even on everyday routes. True to the Aprilia tradition, the chassis simply has no rivals in its class. The innovative mixed trellis/aluminium frame provides standard setting rigidity. All this makes the bike extremely compact, perfect even for the beginner.
With a dry weight of just 189 kg, the lightness of the Aprilia Shiver 750 also satisfies the most canny motorcyclist. Its manoeuvrability and engine performance enable the bike to accompany its owner from his first few metres on two wheels up to his complete motorcycling maturity.
The main characteristics of the Aprilia Shiver 750 are:
• 90° V2 engine with four valves per cylinder, double overhead camshaft and liquid cooling
• Ride-by-Wire technology for electronic control of the throttle bodies
• Electronic fuel injection with latest generation injectors
• Mixed gear and chain valve timing
• Three way catalytic converter on the exhaust, with Lambda oxygen sensor
• Modular trellis/aluminium frame for high torsional rigidity
• Aluminium swingarm with reinforcement truss and lateral shock absorber
• 43 mm upside down fork

2011 Harley-Davidson XL 883L Sportster 883 SuperLow
The SuperLow™ is easy to own and fun to ride. Balanced and responsive handling help rider and machine glide through corners with smooth confidence. The combination of wheel size, radial tires and front-end geometry contribute to outstanding maneuverability. The final drive ratio is matched to the rear wheel size to provide smooth acceleration. Generous rear-suspension travel, a deeply cushioned seat and easy-reach handlebar offer outstanding comfort. A low seat height, the broad V-Twin powerband and clean styling complete a package that will make the SuperLow appealing to many riders.
The new Harley-Davidson SuperLow model reintroduces the pure pleasure of motorcycling. Balanced and responsive handling help rider and machine glide through corners with smooth confidence. A low seat height, the broad V-Twin powerband and clean styling complete an appealing package. The SuperLow is an open invitation to get out and ride.
Comfort is a key aspect of the SuperLow experience. A new solo seat with a deep, bucket shape and soft filler offers good support. The shape of the seat and its 25.5-inch height make it possible for many riders to put feet securely on the ground when the bike is at rest. A new handlebar is shaped to provide a natural arm position. Dual coil-over rear shocks offer 2.5 inches of wheel travel for a smooth ride.
Several interdependent technical elements play a role in the particular vehicle dynamics Harley-Davidson engineers sought to achieve in the SuperLow model. Changes made to tire size and a new front fork angle give the SuperLow 5.7 inches of trail for outstanding steering feel and feedback to the rider.
"In engineering the tire-and-wheel design and steering geometry for the SuperLow, the team applied lessons learned in the development of the XR1200X, which result in similarly significant gains in maneuverability," said Jim Hofmann, General Manager, Motorcycle Product Planning. "The SuperLow is of course a very different motorcycle from the XR1200X, with a different mission, but the theme of achieving a precise balance of steering geometry, tire profile and construction, and suspension tuning is the same and equally successful. It takes just one ride on the SuperLow to believe it."
The 18-inch-diameter front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel are fitted with Michelin® Scorcher® 11 radial tires. The profile, tread pattern and construction of these tires were developed specifically to enhance the handling of the SuperLow model. The new wheel-and-tire combination significantly reduces mass and inertia front and rear, which when combined with the tire design, improves steering response, and reduces steering effort.
Its low-profile radial tires, solo seat and long fuel tank shape give the SuperLow an appealing new stance that's wide and low. With an MSRP starting at $7,999USD in Vivid Black, the SuperLow is the lowest-priced model in the 2011 Harley-Davidson line. The SuperLow is also available in Cool Blue Pearl, as well as Merlot Sunglo/Vivid Black and Birch White/Sedona Orange two-tone paint.

NEW HARLEY-DAVIDSON® SUPERLOW™ MODEL IS PURE RIDING FUN
Tires, Wheels, and Suspension Developed for Balanced, Responsive Handling
MILWAUKEE (July 27, 2010) The new Harley-Davidson SuperLow model reintroduces the pure pleasure of motorcycling. Balanced and responsive handling help rider and machine glide through corners with smooth confidence. A low seat height, the broad V-Twin powerband and clean styling complete an appealing package. The SuperLow is an open invitation to get out and ride.
Comfort is a key aspect of the SuperLow experience. A new solo seat with a deep, bucket shape and soft filler offers good support. The shape of the seat and its 25.5-inch height make it possible for many riders to put feet securely on the ground when the bike is at rest. A new handlebar is shaped to provide a natural arm position. Dual coil-over rear shocks offer 2.5 inches of wheel travel for a smooth ride.
Several interdependent technical elements play a role in the particular vehicle dynamics Harley-Davidson engineers sought to achieve in the SuperLow model. Changes made to tire size and a new front fork angle give the SuperLow 5.7 inches of trail for outstanding steering feel and feedback to the rider.
"In engineering the tire-and-wheel design and steering geometry for the SuperLow, the team applied lessons learned in the development of the XR1200X, which result in similarly significant gains in maneuverability," said Jim Hofmann, General Manager, Motorcycle Product Planning.

It takes just one ride on the SuperLow to believe it."
The 18-inch-diameter front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel are fitted with Michelin® Scorcher® 11 radial tires. The profile, tread pattern and construction of these tires were developed specifically to enhance the handling of the SuperLow model. The new wheel-and-tire combination significantly reduces mass and inertia front and rear, which when combined with the tire design, improves steering response, and reduces steering effort.
Its low-profile radial tires, solo seat and long fuel tank shape give the SuperLow an appealing new stance that's wide and low. With an MSRP starting at $7,999 in Vivid Black, the SuperLow is the lowest-priced model in the 2011 Harley-Davidson line. The SuperLow is also available in Cool Blue Pearl, as well as Merlot Sunglo/Vivid Black and Birch White/Sedona Orange two-tone paint.
Key features of the 2011 XL883L SuperLow include:
An air-cooled Evolution® 883cc V-Twin engine with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), rated at 55 ft. lbs. peak torque at 3500 rpm, has a broad powerband for easy get-away from a stop and smooth power out of corners.
The 68/29 (2.34:1) final drive ratio is matched to the rear tire diameter and promotes smooth acceleration away from a stop and at low speeds.
Equipped with Black, Split Five-Spoke with Machined Rim wheels front and rear. Rear wheel is 17 x 4.5 inches. Front wheel is 18 x 3.5 inches.
Michelin Scorcher 11 radial tires are designed specifically for the SuperLow. Front is 120/70ZR18; rear is 150/60ZR17.
39mm Showa® fork with 4.1 inches travel.
Coil-over pre-load adjustable rear shocks with 2.5 inches of wheel travel.
Seat height is 25.5 inches. Solo seat has a deep bucket shape and is easy to straddle.
The handlebar has a wide, flat bend that places the hand grips and controls in a natural riding position for outstanding control and comfort.
The 4.5-gallon fuel tank offers extended range and helps give the SuperLow a low-profile appearance.

Whether the day calls for a commute to work, quick trips around town or all day explorations in the countryside, the CBR250R offers as much fun per mile as anything around, all at a price that just about anyone can afford.
If you’re looking for an affordable, smart, capable and fun way to enjoy life on two wheels have we got a bike for you: the all new Honda CBR250R
The new, fuel-injected CBR250R offers everything you want in a first time bike: Light weight. A powerband that’s immensely user-friendly. Excellent fuel economy. Unmatched reliability. And a fun factor that’s off the chart.
Since the new CBR250R is a Honda, it’s full of features few other bikes in its class can match. And it offers a build quality that means you’ve got dependable cross-town or cross country transportation.
Best of all, the new CBR250R is available in two versions: the CBR250R and the CBR250R ABS with our Anti lock Brake System a first for the segment and a really valuable option that both first timers and experienced riders will appreciate.

Counterbalance Shaft Because it features a counterbalancer, the CBR250R engine is a smooth runner. You get the narrow overall width and power advantages of a single along with the smoothness of a multi cylinder bike.
Single Cylinder Engine A single is the perfect choice for a bike like the CBR250R. It's light, simple, returns excellent fuel economy, and features a broad powerband with plenty of low revving torque just what you want in a first motorcycle.
Fuel Injection Fuel injection means the new CBR250R starts right up, even in cold weather. Compared to a carbureted bike, it also helps reduce emissions and enhance performance and fuel economy.
Layered Style Fairing Take a close look at the CBR250R's unique bodywork, which is designed for style and functionality. It routes airflow for both engine cooling and rider comfort, while creating a unique sportbike style.
Analog/Digital Instrumentation The CBR250R's digital gauges with analog tachometer provides vital riding information in a styled, hi-tech instrumentation package.
Combined Anti lock Brake System Our Combined ABS can be a big help in making controlled stops in less than ideal conditions. Like on wet pavement, or when there's sand on the road or other debris. It's a perfect choice whether you're using your new bike as a commuter or just riding it for fun since it helps you stop with added confidence.
Disc Brakes The new CBR250R features front and rear hydraulic discs for excellent stopping power and brake feel. The single front disc helps keep things simple and lowers unsprung weight, too.
Pro-Link Rear Suspension The CBR250R uses a single shock pre-load adjustable rear suspension that not only gives you a smooth ride, but helps enhance handling as well, just as on some of our larger sport models.
Low Seat Height A low 30.5" seat height does more than help make sure the CBR250R fits a wide range of riders. It makes it easier to put your feet down at stoplights and in parking lots–a big confidence builder.
Passenger Ready A separate passenger seat, integrated grab rail, and standard passenger footpegs mean you can take a friend along when you go riding–another example of the CBR250R's versatility.
Underseat Storage Removing the rear passenger seat provides a lockable area to throw a map, gloves, or a spare set of sunglasses.
