2012 Honda CBR250R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Honda for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2012 Honda CBR250R features a 249.4 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 26 HP (19 kW) 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 104.3 HP per liter, 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 CBR250R measures 161.9 kg (357 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.23 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.
