At the heart of the 2015 Honda CB250F naked motorcycle, Honda relies on a 249.4 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 29 HP (21.2 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 116.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the CB250F measures 158 kg (348 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.18 HP/kg (5.45 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,369 mm (53.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.87-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.05 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 422 km (262 miles) between fill-ups.
