it s nice looking bike but top speed of 90 i think is a bit poor considering the only mc22's cbr 250s's would tip nearly 120 mph. like a 125 nsr can do 100 mph. its probably a nice bike to drive though.
I had an 06 ninja 250r as a starter. I was only 17 so that's all I could buy really haha. It was actually fun driving it cause I drove the piss out of it, especially on the lake roads. I now have upgraded to a 2007 fz6. Much stronger engine, can't even imagine going back to te 250. Great starter bike! Just buy it used NOT brand new, you will lose so much money.
Why! what happend to the mad 250 2stokes with 50+ horse power and (I prefer) the 4stroke 45hp 250's, oh man they kick ass. They should make the mad 4strokers again with a simple power restricter for 33hp and then you can simply release the 45 when your ready. 18,000rpm and the sound !!!
@bikecrazypete Emissions. Fuel economy. Learner restrictions. World requirements. The old bikes run just fine if you take care of them though, so that might be a better option for you.
@cheezgrated i get over 50mpg from my fzr250 when im going at normal pace, unlike the 250cc 2-strokers that would only get 35plus. also its a four stroke so emisons cant be that bad - never seen a puff of smoke. it will do 120 tops and is realy flickerble round the twisties, its a small bike with lots of attidued - almost like a small man complex - it wants to take on more then it can handle and screams about it. right im done off to the a20.
I started out on a 2010 ninja 250 and am a better rider because of it. I have a cbr 600 f3 now but my buddy is getting the 2011 cbr 250r. I told him to get a ninja 250 because my ninja had way more power than this and topped out at 105 mph. plus it didnt sound like a dirtbike haha
i appriecate the place of lower CC bikes, i owned a Yamaha R125 for 13 months and the fuel mileage and everything like that was excellent. But at the same time, i really think my 125 accelerated as fast as that 250 and the top speed was 84mph so not too dissimilar to this 250?
Yes, if you wait long enough. Those small displacement four cylinder engines have to be spinning 10,000+ rpm just to overcome their own internal friction. The Hyosung 250, Kawasaki 250 Ninja and the CBR250 Honda are WAY nicer to ride. More instant punch, especially on the Hyo and Honda. The Ninja needs to be revved more than them, but NOTHING like a 250/4. They sound like blenders and you go from ix to chop to whip...
most 250cc riders care more of ease of riding and mid-range performance then top-speed and full out acceleration which is why the cbr 250r is better then a ninja 250, especially for a starter bike
I started out on a 09 Suzuki GS500F. I bought it new, had it 6 months really enjoyed the fuel mileage of 50-58 mpg. My friend had an 88 Honda interceptor 250 (this was an awesome bike just not taken care of). Long story short I traded bikes with the friend, he took the 500, and i traded the Honda interceptor in on an 05 hayabusa, its a blast to drive but I have seen as bad as 23 mpg. Now I'm kicking around buying another smaller bike like this 250 cause it gets 80+ mpg
So glad I started on my sv650 instead of getting something like this. I was bored of my crf250 by the time I got rid of it. Can't imagine how boring that same engine would be with 100+ more lbs to lug around. Probably a perfect starter bike for someone that doesn't have years of dirtbike experience like me though. Looks cool, too.
HAHAHA Wow! Oh my god... I can't believe I ever thought these types of speeds were fast.. I rode an MC22 way way back when and I haven't ridden one since.. I've spent the last couple of years on a Daytona 675 and I cannot believe how slow these bikes are!
Hi there, I owned a Yamaha 135rxz yeah it is just a small cc bike, and capable of going for 190km/h so im thinking of changing into 250, as bike here are very expensive... im only 165cm tall will this bike fit me... and btw nice bike
damn some of the comments here are just ignorant. nothing wrong with a 250 to start. in fact, nothing wrong with a 250 to even have when you're an experienced rider. riding something like the R1 is a rush, but 250s are just too fun to give up. some of you deserve to be crushed by a cager.
@ilocanoTornado Yes, I totally agree. I started out on the NSR125R 9 years ago. Then followed by 3 CBR600Fs, now currently on a 1000 Blade. But somehow I really want to own the new CBR250R.
@ilocanoTornado well the reason those boneheads are bad mouthing this bike is because they know nothing about them and never ridden one let alone this one
@ilocanoTornado Most of the people talking shit have probably never ridden a bike in their entire lives. Either that, or they think they are hot shit riding around on their 600cc/1000cc with 3" chicken strips on the rear tire.
I started on a 600cc, but frankly starting on a 250 is the way to go. For me personally, I have no regrets, but I may pick up a 250 later on down the line for the hell of it. A CBR250R, if I had my choice.
Top speed 95mph? ahaha. I had an 1984 suzuki Rg 250 once. Even that old bike was much faster. Why so? 2stroke VS 4stroke. All engiens below 600cc should be 2stroke. 4stroke in small engiens don`t only run slow but the sound from the engiens sounds boring!! If u want to stay with 250, the aprilia Rs 230 is recomanded with top speed 137,5mph=220km/h. Otherwise is the suzuki RGV 250 also a fun bike. Both the rs and rgv has a V2 engien. If u want L2 engien, the suzuki rg 250, yamaha tzr 250 is fun
@mosellid I wish the regulations on 2 stroke engines weren't so strict. Not familiar with the Aprillia RS -230, couldn't even find it on their website. There are only 2 "sport-bike" 250cc motorcycle's available right now, the Ninja and the CBR.
@hnesiak Sorry, i type wrong. The right should be Aprilia Rs 250. Search that :)
And yes, most new bikes nowdays are 4stroke. Even more and more 125cc produced in 2011, was 4stroke. This only becos of the CO2. The only real possitive with 4stroke, is that it use less fuel and motorparts can last longer.
nao acredito que uma moto dessas seja tao fraca isso ai tem 250cc mesmo tem o som de uma bicicleta motorizada que vende aqui perto minha biz 100cc em terceira chega a 90km em menos de 2 minutos com o motor original
@92carney I don't like to travel at 90mph for extended distances, on any bike. The CBR250 is a comfortable bike. I'd rather cruise at the lower RPM's instead of at 90MPH and near redline...
i'm thinking of buying a cbr250 on my 18th birthday. seems like a pretty good first bike. the only thing i dont like about it is the exhaust note. sounds hideous! is it capable of hitting 100 tucked in? i weigh only 125.
@vivekbarchha you dont need to be going 100 on a bike at 18 ...wait until you are more experienced till you start ripping on it, weather its a 250 or 1000
@TheHery12vai out here the Ninja 250R is way more expensive than the CBR250R. The Ninja costs about $2700 more than the CBR, because the CBR is manufactured in India whereas the Ninja is imported as a CKD and assembled here. So customs duties apply to the ninja. makes no sense spending so much on a 250.
I am thinking about getting my motorcycle license real soon. im gonna start off with the PCX which we've had for a while, then move to this, then hopefully my dad's 600
@hnesiak Hey can ask a question. I want to get one of these bikes to commute from my home to college. Now the highway to get there goes up to 75 but sometimes you may have to drive up to 85 when passing or just to not get run over by crazy people. So basically what Im asking is does this thing wine and shake like crazy when you get above 70 or 80 mph. I need something that rides comfortable at those speeds so is this a good choice. I currently have an 1983 Honda XL600R.
I have an after market (Yoshimura) slip on exhaust installed. It sounds louder than stock with the exhaust. It has the typically single cylinder engine (almost like a dirt bike) rumble. Check out my other videos for a sound comparison to the stock exhaust.
