Built around Honda's sport motorcycle platform, the 2011 Honda CBR250R relies on a 249.4 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.0 x 55.0 mm (3.0 x 2.2 inches) with a 10.7:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the CBR250R measures 162.8 kg (359 lbs) wet (curb). 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 supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
