Honda is all set to launch the new CBR250 by April 2011 with a price tag of Rs. 1.5 lakh. The model will be powered by newly developed liquid-cooled 250cc 4-stroke DOHC engine delivering 2.3kgm of Torque.
Official technical specifications of the model are yet not available from the company and the company is quit tight-lipped about its power which is expected to be around 25hp. Honda CBR250R uses programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI), 249.4cc Single powers with a 76mm bore and 55mm stroke. A six-speed gear box will divvy out the power, with a final chain drive.
The design and aesthetics of the bike is said to be inspired by the Honda VFR 1200F but the CBR 250 R looks a bit bigger motorcycle. Disc brakes coupled with thick tyres give that truly sports bike look to the machine. Honda CBR 250 R will ride on Continental tyres in India.
The reason for the competitive pricing is the fact that the super bike will be manufactured in India with certain components being imported from Thailand.
