Engineered by Honda for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2007 Honda CBF250 features a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 20 HP (14.6 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 80.3 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the CBF250 measures 138.5 kg (305 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (6.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,370 mm (53.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
