The Honda CBR250RR is a CBR series 250 cc (15 cu in) twin-cylinder sport bike made by Astra Honda Motor, a subsidiary of Honda in Indonesia. It was unveiled in July 2016 in Jakarta. The production has been started since November on the same year. Previously, Honda also used the "CBR250RR" name for their four-cylinder sport bike sold between 1990 and 1996.
According to Honda, the CBR250RR has technologies derived from the RC213V MotoGP bike, including throttle-by-wire technology, 3 riding modes, and a more compact engine design than its competitors.
Light Weight Super Sports Concept (2015)
The basis for the CBR250RR was Honda's Light Weight Super Sports Concept that was shown at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. The concept bike had a parallel-twin engine that redlined at 14,000 rpm. Honda said that, "attention to detail in functional components give the Light Weight Super Sports Concept a quality beyond its class, indicating the design direction of Honda's next generation lightweight super sports models."
