HONDA CBR 250CC motorbike was purchased an year ago by me. It was a used vehicle( about 5500 km) and I could buy it for Rs.one lakh.
I had spent some money for repairs because it had a damaged shock absorber( front), and servicing and also for change of front tyre.
After that I went on tour from Hyderabad to Shillong and back solo.
The bike is just amazing. When you picked up to 120- or 125 kmph the bike would not undergo any strain whatsoever and you would feel very comfortable.
while returning, I had to return on un urgent work so I had to ride all the day and all night and yet I was not tired at all.
That is the quality of the bike. It will not tire you. Shocks are very soft. So,when you take turning you will have to be careful.
It never gave me any problems.
The BHP is only 26 BHP but in riding it equals Pulsars Domino . Both will have same 0 to 100 kmph.
In the international market its competitor is Ninja 250 but Ninja skids a lot. When you compare on those parameters only HONDA 250 is amazing due to its ABS.
There are no repairs off course and the way bike behaves is extremely smooth . But some of those bikes I did a test ride had very rough engines. All these used bikes which I did test riding were not serviced on time and they ruined them permanently. So after test rides of a few bikes of others I had very bad( and wrong) impression of HONDA 250CC until I had test riding of a new one.
I went on through my search using OLX mostly and finally found a bike at least with a good engine but a leaking shock absorber, broken front tyre(Continental) and some other small issues. But I purchased it and now I am fully satisfied used of HONDA 250CBR.
My recent non-stop solo riding involved 5500 km in about 15 days.
