The new Honda CBR250RR is already on sale in Thailand and Indonesia. The motorcycle was showcased at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show 2018 in August last year. Not a lot has changed since the bike was introduced back in 2016. The next significant upgrade is likely to arrive next year when Honda upgrades it to Euro-VI.

The Honda CBR250RR packs premium features like dual-LED headlights, LED tail lights, all-digital display, upside-down forks among others. It comes in four colour options – Black Freedom, Bravery Mat Red, Honda Racing Red and Mat Gunpowder Black Metallic. In Japan, there's a Pearl Glare White colour option as well.

Propelling tasks are performed by a 250 cc, parallel twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 8-valve, DOHC engine that makes a maximum power of 38.7 PS at 12,500 rpm and a peak torque of 23.3 Nm at 11,000 rpm. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed transmission and can propel the CBR250RR to a top speed of 170 km/h. The motorcycle has a throttle-by-wire system also, which allows the rider to select from three riding modes – Comfort, Sports and Sports+. The rider can toggle between the riding modes on the fly using the switch on the left side of the handlebar.

Petal-type disc brakes on both wheels perform the anchoring tasks while the safety net includes dual-channel ABS. Shock absorption tasks are performed by aforementioned upside-down forks at the front and a five-step adjustable pre-link suspension at the back. Other highlights include an aluminium swingarm and dual exhaust pipes.
