The Honda CBR250 series of bikes was produced between 1986 and 1996. It was a lightweight 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, and 6-gear sportbike capable of revving up to 18,500 rpm. The earlier models (1986-1993) produced 45 ps (34 kW), from then on, the power output was reduced to 40 ps (30 kW) in 1994 after a change in Japanese law.
[edit] Model history
The chronology of the models is as follows:
| Years | Model | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1986 | CBR250FG and CBR250FG-YA (MC14). | Twin front disks, single front headlight, bikini fairings. |
| 1987 | CBR250R(H) (MC17). | Twin disks, still single head light, full fairings. |
| 1988 | CBR250R(J) (MC19). | Single larger front disk, smaller chain, twin head lights, fuel pump. |
| 1989 | CBR250R(K) (MC19). | Essentially identical to the R(J), except now had a speed limiter which was set at 185 km/h. |
| 1990-1991 | CBR250RR(L) (MC22). | A completely new redesigned bike that features a new cast/pressed aluminium frame that gives a more aggressive riding position, gull shaped swing arm that was adopted from the NSR250, higher rising tail, six spoke cast aluminium wheels and dual front Ø276 mm floating disk brakes. These changes resulted in a dry weight of 142 kg.
The only feature that was adopted from the previous model CBR250s was the original MC14E engine. This too was slightly modified with a crankshaft that featured Ø27.5 mm small-end journals, up Ø0.5 mm from the previous Ø27 mm journals. The engine also uses a completely new set of VP carburettors that feature smaller throats reduced from Ø32 mm to Ø30.5 mm. These carburettors are now fed by a vacuum operated pump for fuel delivery. |
| 1992-1993 | CBR250RR(N) (MC22). | Essentially the same as the RR(L) except for new paint jobs. |
| 1994-1996 | CBR250RR(R) (MC22). | Still very similar to the RR(L/N) but now restricted to producing 40 ps (30 kW) due to changes in Japanese law. The restrictions are in the cylinder head, head gasket and ignition unit, and all need to be replaced if 45 ps (34 kW) is desired. |
| 1997-1999 | CBR250RR(RII) (MC22). | These are identical to the RR(R), and are leftover bikes that were built in the 1994 to 1996 era, but sold in 1997 and 1998. |
Despite Honda claims of the MC19 engine revving to 18,500 in the manual, the reality is that the ignition cuts out at around 17,230 rpm, and the ignition map is retarded around the powerful revs (14,000 to 16,000 rpm) to limit the horsepower to Japanese law. These bikes were only ever sold new in Japan, and later the CBR250RR was sold new in Australia. They however can be found in almost any country of the world, and in a number is the most powerful 4-stroke bike a learner is allowed to ride, and hence their popularity. The CBR250RR has six gears, and revs just under 9,000 rpm at 100km/h. Despite the high revs, the bike requires little maintenance, and should easily last 100,000 km with regular oil changes (over 1/2 a billion revolutions).
[edit] Similar machines
All four of the major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers produced a high-revving, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke motorcycle capable of producing 45 hp (34 kW). They are the Honda CBR250, Kawasaki ZXR250, Suzuki GSX-R250 and the Yamaha FZR250.
