In India Honda CBR250RR could face tough competition with existing winners like Hyosung GT250R, Yamaha YZF-R3, DSK Benelli TNT300 and Kawasaki Ninja 250R or could be Bajaj’s upcoming Pulsar RS400.
Design:
This looks muscular naa? Yes It is. Features some of the sharpest curves and has been designed with the key phrase “strong presence” which is so described by its next-generation super sport concept model, low crouching position and long nose which will give the rider a sense of speed.

This has an overall length of 2060mm, width of 724mm and height of 1098mm. The seat height is 790mm and the wheelbase is 1389mm. Ground clearance is 145mm.
Engine and Fuel:
The Honda CNR250RR has been powered by 4-Stroke 8-Valve parallel twin DOHC Engine with new water cooled technology. The official power has not been released yet but it is expected to produce maximum power of 35-38 BHP and maximum torque of 26-29 NM. The output figures delivered by the bike can be more than the other quarter litre fighters. The fuel tank has capacity of 14.5 litres with 1.9 litres reserve capacity.
Gearbox:
The engine will come with a six speed gearbox with multi-plate wet clutch and coil spring.

The Japanese company has also confirmed that the engine will come with Throttle-by-Wire (TbW) that will make it possible to use 3-way engine mode.
