2017 Honda CBR250RR Makes its Debut

It’s Monday and there’s finally something to be excited about! Today, Honda announced the plans of its racey looking 2017 CBR250RR… Well, in Indonesia at least. Don’t worry, there’s still reason to be excited as there are several rumors that the bike will make it to the United States as soon 2017. I mean how can you not be excited about a lightweight bike that looks like this?

Honda is giving us more reason to get excited about the bike than just its (we think) incredible styling. The CBR is to be built with a new DOHC four valve, parallel twin 250cc engine (that is claimed to produce class-leading power), throttle-by-wire (TbW), and an ECU equipped with three riding modes; all of which is housed inside a steel truss frame. The frame is connected to a gull type aluminum swing arm through Honda’s Pro-Link shock that allows for preload changes in a five-step adjustment format.

The CBR also features 37-milimeter Showa inverted forks, 310/240-millimeter brake discs, an optional ABS system, and LED lighting. It sounds like an awful lot in a small package, but we can’t wait to see it in person.

But back to back to the styling… We can’t stop drooling! The CBR gives off a very aggressive feeling, something we don’t see much in this class, but we aren’t complaining. The bike will be offered in Anchor Grey Metallic, and Mat Gunpowder Metallic, and Racing Red.

Okay, so we don’t have any official dates of when we will see the CBR250RR in the states, but it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on. The fact that Honda is releasing a lightweight bike with such exciting features may offer a look into the future of what’s coming in other classes.
