Engineered by Honda for the sport motorcycle segment, the 1994 Honda CBR 250 RR relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 45 HP (32.8 kW) at 14,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 24 Nm (17.7 lb-ft) at 11,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 180.7 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (11,500 rpm) and peak power (14,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the CBR 250 RR measures 158 kg (348 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.28 HP/kg (3.51 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 735 mm (28.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,345 mm (53 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 185 km/h (115 mph).
