At the heart of the 2013 Honda CBR 250R sport motorcycle, Honda features a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 34.9 HP (25.5 kW) at 10,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22.9 Nm (16.9 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 140.2 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the CBR 250R measures 165 kg (364 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.21 HP/kg (4.73 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,370 mm (53.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
