Honda CBR250R (MC19)
4 in-line DOHC 249 cm² 18,000 rpm 180 Km/h (approx) 40PS @ 14,500 rpm (approx) 2.4kg-m/11,500rpm Liquid cooled Single disc (R), twin disc (RR)/single disc
The CBR250 was initially only ever officially sold in Japan, in later years Honda Australia decided to offiaiclly import it there as there was sufficient demand, in Australia the CBR250 is below the margin for learner bikes. Nowadays in Ireland alot of these bikes are being imported, mainly MC19's, but there are alot of MC22's around also.
I own a MC19 RJ model built in 1989 in Japan, It was imported to Ireland in August 2000 when I bought it with 11,900Km on the clock, it's now grossed over 18,000Km. Below is a picture of my bike, there are more pictures of it in the pictures section.
CBR250 RJ MC19The CBR250 is most often remembered for it's high reving engine, whenever you read comments from ex-owners, the best bit they remember is the 18,000 rpm redline, nothing else sounds like it. Other bikes in it's class which have also been imported to Ireland in much lesser quantities are the Kawasaki ZX-R 250, Suzuki GSX-R 250 and the Yamaha FZR 250.
Honda CBR400RR (NC29)
4 in-line DOHC 399 cm² 14,500 rpm 180 Km/h restricted - 220 Km/h unrestricted 59PS ? Liquid cooled twin disc/single disc The CBR400 like the CBR250 was a JDM bike, although it was never officially sold in Australia like the CBR250, it was however imported by grey importers in large quantities to the UK, but never got the official import run like the VFR400 did.
I bought mine in April 2001, and as a result sold my CBR250 pictures above.
1990 CBR400RR-L Gullarm NC29Since the picture was taken I have gotten and installed a Stainless Steel ART end can and a black tinted screen, but also my fairings fell off so I haven't gotten a decent piccy of it yet.
