- In 2018 Honda updated its best touring bike, the Honda CBR 250R which was discontinued in 2017 due to BSIV norms.
Now the bike has some fresh looks and a BSIV complaint engine, but can it do what it used to do the best, which is touring with supreme amount of comfort?
Has Honda changed the philosophy for this bike with the new update?

I'm a Yamaha fan but I love CBR 250R. It's a damn beautiful machine 😍
OLD DESIGN BUT STILL HAVING A SUPER SMOOTH ENGINE WITH AWESOME RIDING EXPERIENCE. IT'S WAY BETTER THAN MANY VIBRATORS. I'M THE PROUD OWNER OF THIS SILENT BEAST❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honda can rip apart the Indian bike makers if it take interest to upgrade their bike specially this bike cbr250r.
It's a legend. It will remain a legend. If updates means digital meter, weight reduction with a cheap quality chasis and some paint job with a bumped up price, trust me I don't need them. But pathos! Honda has discontinued this model.
CBR 250R is king in its segment , young generation bike still can't beat this old beast ❤️❤️❤️
Old Design , no updates!! Still am going to buy this :) yellow colour ;) next month!!
Go for it bro❤️ anyways no news of any update so no reason to wait.

Which colour of an Honda cbr250r is better to buy, Red or yellow?
@@MrDoss1970 go for yellow bro. Damn hot and attractive!! Red is good but not rare!
krishna cheran
Thank you bro
Is it worth buying a CBR 250r yellow colour 2018 ABS model for 10k discount?
@@MrDoss1970 no :)) cbr 250r good looking but not worth it in these age :)) .. I'll prefer you to buy ninja or bmw !! Otherwise continental GT !!
Cbr is just good looking and refined that's it!! But old :/
@4:38 you mentioned that CBR 250R is meant to travel long places. However if you read CBR 250R's design team perspective, you'd know that it is just one part of the equation and not just the whole part.
CBR 250R was designed for versatility, which means a sports bike which is not single-minded/ focussed or track committed(like the modern trend), but a supersports lightweight class machine on which a person can commute, tour, do canyon rides and even track days like its ancestor CBR 600F.
High turning performance was a serious design objective which unfortunately most of us Indians overlook.
Recently I replaced old conti-gos with new Michelin radials and they have transformed my bike's handling so much that it chews any corner at 100+ speeds with aplomb.
I definitely appreciate this..but bike's main aim was to make traveling much more comfortable in a sportier way..and for that..full marks for CBR 250R it definitely does its job. But if anything towards performance then RC200 performs better..but overall CBR 250R is a great package. It's just about the lack of updates which lags this bike behind all of its rivals

CBR 250R vs RC 200 cornering:
th-cam.com/video/yaE6_oh07hI/w-d-xo.html
You can see that with michelin radial tyres it can carry more corner speed than RC 200.

Super comment bro👍
Change your ceat tyres to michelins or metzelers and then see what the trellis frame+ pro-link rear shock combo combined with 52:48 F:R tyre weight distribution can do on a CBR.
Nailed it
This is by far the best looking colour of this new model. Bike looks amazing👍
Yes new graphics looks amazing but the design is still the same..at least we can expect something like that of CBR300R
Your jacket compliments the legend very well👍🏻
Thanks mate❤️
Perfect bike.it will kill all the bikes in it's segment.this chillar ktm and Bajaj don't have reliability.they become very rough after 20k KMS.CBR is a king.be it touring,city it give 31kmpl in city and 35on highways depends upon the speed.king of reliability is HONDA.coz HONDA is HONDA
Chillar🤣🤣🤣 you NAILED BAJAJ AND KTM BRO👍👍👍
@@theroad-vengers2816 😁😁😊
Proud to be the owner of CBR ..cheers to all CBR lovers..and fans..
Why am feelin like that in your blood HONDA is running..
@@sagy89 u love a Honda wen u own one😀
Awesome JACKET bro...best MATCHING with my BEAST 😍
Thanks bro❤️
From where to get it
From where to get this jacket n model kya hai
I have Ninja 300...living with it🤩❤
Is it good enough?
@@ShobhaBaiB ofcouse yes.🤘👌
I sold my ninja 300 and bought a cbr250r abs 😅. I find CBR is more comfortable for touring and excellent breaking too.
Neeraj Thomas on pocket, you should be comfortable as well if am not wrong 😀
@@shivabomma2781 noways mate. Ninja is quite easy to maintain. I have used 2010 ninja 250r, 2013 and 2016 ninja 300. It just need general consumables like oil, pads, filters, chain n sprockets etc. Engine, gearbox and electricals are guaranteed. I have not spend single penny for any part failure on Ninja. CBR spares are much cheaper compared to Ninja but it gets issues like shim, failure of stator coil, tensioner etc and spare availability is a big issue nowadays. The main reason why I shifted to CBR is its class best combined abs. Even abs models of ninja and r3 is way behind its breaking capabilities. Plus CBR has much softer suspension which is very useful in our mixed road conditions compared to Ninja which is much more stiffer, much lighter clutch and good pillion comfort and all these are more favorable for touring. Ninja is good for highway touring.
Legend indeed!!
Good efforts brother keep it up god bless you
Thanks ❤️
Perfect presentation bro......
Thnks mate❤️
New cbr 250rr is awesome ,but unfortunately its is not for India
Yes even though Honda has a bug market for the cbr250rr in India, still the bike is not here. The price tag will be too high for that bike and that might be the reason for delay.
honda is doing the same thing with cbr250 what they used to do with activa. just change of graphics and replace the halogen bulb with some bright leds. Come on Honda if you really want to stay in the competition then start hiring a new design team.
Design team is good but they should be considerate about India market
Cbr250r is my favorite bike,
PLEASE Honda change all new cluster,and update cbr250r
A GEAR POSITION INDICATOR would have completed the half digital Console and wish the digital display was little big bigger
It IS a legend.
One thing I wanted to ask since a long time is, does it ever feel underpowered to pull smoothly on hill sides when riding with a pillion of say 70-90 kgs ?
Bike has adequate power for single rider, have to experience with pillion to answer your question
@@riding_spirit_shorts , oh, Thanks for the reply.
@biiker13 , thanks for the info man. Then I think 2nd or 3rd gear should be enough to pull 180 degree corners on hill with a pillion.
@@deletevil not 3rd,only in 2nd
Yes,bike pulls smoothly.You have to keep the rpm above 5k.
Still my favourite ❤️❤️
Great Video. Beautifully made.
Thnks broo❤️❤️
Awesome video♥️🔥
Thnks bro❤️❤️😍
one of the best bike in 250 segement but due to high price dominar is much much best value for money
Bro dominar is low quality engine
@@luckyali2097 kisne bol diya aapko bhai check kro dominar 2019 ko sHowroom mein phele se b zyada premium feel hoga aapko
Ok bhai
@@luckyali2097 new dominar phele se bahut zyada premium ho gyi hai and more powerful b ho gyi hai
Bro dont compare a bajaj engine to honda ones...
Bajaj jus invented a 400cc,🤣🤣🤣..
ladies and gentlemen, from the makers of Activa, presenting to you the all new old CBR 250R.. that should have been the introduction
Well it could also be like.. from the makes of Honda African Twin. Everyone has his own perspective😁
Sorry bro, the title itself is wrong so is the introduction of the video. It is not all new brother, everything remains the same in the bike except LEDs. The word All New is used when there is a major change in the engine or chassis.
Bro it replaces the previous model, so this bike is all new. Also the previous one was discontinued.
Good graphics
is these bike is still available in showroom in bs4 version..???..pls reply..& will they launch the bs6 version..???
No news of bs6 in India as of now..and bs4 models are also not available now.. Although if any dealer has a bs4 model yet to be sold then you can ask them.. may be they might have the demo bike for sale
Cbr 250r ❤️❤️
should i buy second hand cbr 250r abs version in the year 2020 ?????
If you want the touring capabilities in your bike then yes👍🏻 if you want an everyday bike.. with some modernity in it then no👎🏻
Still worth for 2nd hand cbr just 15000 km running?
Is worth to buy 2018 cbr250r in 2020.? Is there any bs4 issue?
No there is no issues and you can buy a bs4 CBR 250r in 2020 as well.
But there is no stock bro☹️
It's 26.5 bhp buddy in 2018 and 2019 too...
Fz250 is 20bhp, 5 gears, sohc engine in 2019 :)
Buddy I was talking about the CBR 250r engine power is 26.5 bhp
Wat abt mileage. Hope to have in good figures. 👍😊😊
Its a 250 cc bike so milage figures are not that impressive, but still good enough. It's about 30-35 kmpl in city
@@riding_spirit_shorts, that's great 👍👌✌️😊😊
Bro I am getting in 2023 good deal or bad ? Reply bro
Good if condition of bike is good enough..else go with gixxer sf250
CBR is CBR
I don't think styling needs to be updated as it might affect the love for this bike. This styling is retaining all its fans. If they are gonna change anything, change the engine...
This department being subjective..some may like a new design..like that in the new honda cbr250r. I am one of them.
Does the side stand tilt the bike more than its predecessor?? It looks like it
Yes it does bend too much and sometimes it feels like the bike is going to fall. But its ok its not a big issue. Its just a matter of tine and you will get used to it
In asia this version is old model and we have third version cbr250r which more moden and use 2 cylinder
Yes that definitely works well for this bike❤️
But no updates in India
But i proudly have one this old bike bcoz very comfort,balance and fuel save for daily ride..
Yes definitely the bike is really good❤️ best for its job
So India is not part of Asia?
CBR 250RR is launched in Indonesia, Japan and Thailand thus far. It would come to India soon.
However, it is not a replacement of single cylinder CBR, but a much expensive option to it.
Honda is Honda
Honda is bajaj...
Bajaj is yamaha..
Yamaha is ktm...
Ktm is kawasaki..
Kawasaki is tvs...
Tvs is .......
Honda should not change the design.
This design can never get old. Look at the flowing style of the faring.
"Great tourer, well balanced in every aspect & easy on the pocket"
Design opinion will be different for everyone, but looking at its competition, it does lack behind now. Honda is just making it difficult for this bike to survive
@@riding_spirit_shorts I agree maybe Honda is making this bike difficult to survive. Design preferences may also differ from person to person.
And I agree with your opinion about it's competitions too.
But, for those who love the old school feel, without compromising comfort, (rather vintage) styling, quality (v. Important), and low running cost, I'd say this bike is still relevant.
Yes, Maybe Honda can update this bike more to match competitors, but in my opinion, it doesn't need to.
If Honda wants, it can introduce a new 250 breed altogether , like the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 (which is still inferior in terms of engine specs when compared to CBR 250)
And also keep this particular model of the CBR 250r in the market for those old school lovers. ✌
Only change it needs is a full digital instrument console which shows GEAR POSITION and a slightly bigger windscreen
@@biglifeesamvlogs6255 well, I couldn't agree more 👍 not a big fan of gear position indicator, but yes, fully digital console, like the CBR 250 RR would have been great..
Good review
Thanks mate❤️
Today I got the delivery of the bike but the pbl which I facing is that when the engine gets heated the it comes up to tank also what should to be done to avoid that??
The bike is new so don't ride it hard..keep it below 60kmph. New bike usually gets some issue but it gets resolved after forst service so wait for your first service. If it's some serious issue then take your bike to service center. Their might be some issues with the bike which might not be repairable.
@@riding_spirit_shorts Ok bhai thanks a lot..will take care
Instrument console thoda change kar detaa. Abhi khaarid leta
Yess lacking a major feature like Gear POSTION INDICATOR
Is it okay for 5'6 guy to ride this bike easily with no back pain?
Yes definitely
Cbr 150r kb aa rha india me..??
2024 Bs6 2.0, and no updates regarding a comeback 😢
I don't know why it' is very underrated??
Its just because of lack of updates and the fact that an upgraded version of this bike is on sale in other countries except India
Is this bike up for sale
Unfortunately no😢
CAN ANYONE HELP ME WHERE TO BUY A HEADLIGHT of this motor cycle? I have a 2014 modern 250r and I want to change it's headlight with this..can anyone help me? I'm from the Philippines
Where to buy these led headlight assy.?
It will be difficult to buy officially... Probably chor bazar (kurla) me mil jaega🙌🏻
I have same COLOR BEAST 😍😍😍
can i commute with occasional touring.??? i am not a fast rider.... i go at 75 kmph max.... shud i buy this bike?
Yes you can, what matters most is the comfort, and this bike gives you a lot of it. Only point to think about is its price.
Hii sir kya aap headlight k uper video banaoo cbr kaa
Sry bro but a separate video just for headlights is not possible..yes we can answer your doubts over here.
@@riding_spirit_shortsactually mere paas already CBR 250 hai toh mujhe puchna tha ki main headlight update karu ki nahin..???
@@akshaychalke4718 I don't think thats needed coz it already gets a full LED setup. If you have the older version then also you can just go for the external lamps. They are much more powerful and useful .
The dominar and the cbr250r abs are almost priced the same now. So which do you think is a better pick?? Planning to buy one in May and I’ve owned a cbr150r and I pretty much love the cbr’s. Can’t decide for sure.
That's a tough call but if you want supreme amount of comfort for long touring then definitely the CBR250R, but if you want a bit of modern tech, much better safety equipments, and good city ridability then go for Dominar 400
Riding Spirit I’m going to mostly use it in cities and go for short highway trips. So which of the two do you suggest for extensive use in city?
Then i would have gone for the dominar, because its a fresh update, and its a better overall package. Plus it has higher power and torque figure so highway ride will be fun🔥
Riding Spirit ok. Thanks alot!
Gear shifting indicator, slipper cluch is missing
Slipper clutch would be a nice touch, no gear indicator, its fine but anyways, this bike needs a major update. Hope that Honda will listen to us and update this bike.
Nice vide bro.
Thanks mate❤️
Top speed?
About 165kmph
165 KILO METERS PER HOUR?
What about Duke ? .. I need a bike under 2 lakh. Which is best can anyone tell me???
There are a lot of options under 2 lakh..but it depends on your needs..cbr is best for touring in this lot with supreme amount of comfort, if you want performance then go for duke 200, if overall package then Apache RTR 200 Race editing..in which you will get dual channel ABS and slipper clutch.
Also duke has the worst comfort so you can limit it for city riding only..for touring much better options are available like Apache, fz25, rs200 and even the new Dominar 400..which is by far the best package
@@riding_spirit_shorts I'm going for cb300r .. I'm not sure about service and availability in Kerala .. it's costly but still I can manage it ..
.
If not then i go for fz25 ... And thank you
The bike is new so can't say much about it..how it will do as per your needs. Anyways all the best❤️
I'm from Bangalore and I'm looking for used cbr250r this model only to buy, kindly revert me here if anyone is providing
How is the sitting posture...could u show
Seating posture is very comfortable..not to straight..not to committed..just perfect for touring and not letting those bake issues rush in while touring ❤️
@@riding_spirit_shorts ya...thnx
parts r not available in showroom and chain tensioner dies after every 5000km service is poor
Nice one ...
Thanks ❤️

Common problem with such reviews / Vlogs is the annoying background music.
So what do you suggest us my friend? Bhajan sangits?😂😂
Just remove that green graphic.,
Enjoy the matte
Bro the graphics makes the bike look even cooler..what will a plain matte black colour do?
Bro just do it...
@@thestrugglingengineer1623 thanks for the suggestion,will do it after 2 years😅
The bike is still perfect, but Honda done a very bad job with its painting job 😵
This bike is definitely a legend..but lack of updates makes it to loose the battle. Even if the design philosophy of cbr300r is used on this bike..it will do good❤️
Disagree. The bike still looks amazing in this new colour scheme.
People demand for new designs now..we cannot stick to one thing for long time...new graphics gives it a fresh look but now..this bike needs a whole new look..as i said..updates are necessary for this bike now
Tri colour was the best but they stopped it.
@@terraccan tricolour ? 🤔 are you talking about the 2016 color scheme or the red and black color 2012 color scheme
now CBR 250RR is coming
No news yet for India
I won't come
हिंदी नहीं आती है क्या
Don't say "new"
All New? 🤭🤣🤣😁😝🤣🤣
It's a shit product in 2019.. honda thinks they can sell this junk in Indian markets
tell me how is it a junk ? explain !
KTM and Bajaj is the real junk. Just ask the owners about the issues and they will confirm it
No its a legend
