Just1Voice Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Ok, if you go to the link I'm putting at the end of this, you'll find a pretty good article about both the 150 and 250, with a fairly good pic of both. Now, this article is talking about how Honda wants to seriously compete with the Ninja 250 in Indonesia, and some "testing" done in Thailand, with the new 150 due out soon. http://www.bestmodif...-dan-250cc.html and this I got from another forum, showing the 2011/2012 250 on a bike mag cover in Japan.

JUDAS Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Disappointed indeed. Ninja 250 certainly looks better..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Dog Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thanks J1V. Years ago when I was riding my Honda 750F my riding buddy had a Kawasaki Kz-900. We would trade off on long rides and that made me a Honda man forever. The Kawasaki was faster in a straight line but when the line got crooked, it was too bendy to do any good. If Honda does this right, the Honda 250 should steal the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HangDongRider Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 That the world largest manufactor makes such a secret from new 250 is really a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Dog Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 That the world largest manufactor makes such a secret from new 250 is really a joke. It's a big market. As for me, light bikes are a lot more fun than big bikes in Northern Thailand. Up to you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinchester Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 What a shame, very boring looking bike and not a patch on the good looks of the Kwak Ninja. Wasted opportunity to compete in the 250 market and what on earth is going on with that exhaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishenough Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Shame as the 90-99 CBR250RR is a sweet bike. Canada has a 15 year age limit for registering imported vehicles, and the 90 onward CBR250RR have been hot items with the import crowd. And with prices to match. Of course all for the same reasons as Japan - cheaper insurance and a hot bike. What's next, the Phantom 300? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard-BKK Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 The picture from LOShonda is fake, it is from a small company that sells fairings.

canuckamuck Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I guess we just have to see the thing in the real world. From the photo I am not excited, but who knows what it will be like in person. I would love to see engine specs. Particularly HP, and is it a one can or a two? And please lets get some real tires on this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinkers Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I was in Krabi a couple of weeks ago and they were doing some filming and I saw that bike in the flesh. The picture loshonda posted is not the same as the 2 page magazine spread Richard BKK has posted but loshonda's pic is identical, except for the exhaust, to the bike they were using in the filming. And the pictures, although a little small, he posted on the thread about the Honda CBR150 released 30th October is certainly the same bike no doubt about it, they are the same riders.. I spoke to an English guy who was part of the Honda test team accompanying the bike and he said they would finish the shoot in Phuket. The chap said it was the new CBR150 - he couldn't deny it as it was written on the bike. He did mention that there would be a new CBR250 but it would be shown at the Milan bike show in November and then on sale a few weeks later. I was trying to take pics with my phone but security was really tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomo Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Ugly touring looking thing whatever it is. Hardly a sexy sportster. Ok, if you go to the link I'm putting at the end of this, you'll find a pretty good article about both the 150 and 250, with a fairly good pic of both. http://www.bestmodif...-dan-250cc.html The pic you say is the 150i has been out for quite a while (2 years?), was originally touted as the 250, but is nothing but a photoshop, released with another photo of a black and white one by a blogger. You even use this exact same photo right here saying that it's a 250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregchambers Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 The new CBR250R is featured in todays paper edition of motorcyclenews.com and it is styled like a mini-VFR. 33hp, 140kg and priced to undercut Kawasaki's 250 (which is 4100 quid, but UK prices are a total rip-off these days). The engine is a modded version of their watercooled thumper used in motocross. The bike designed in Japan but built in Thailand. So not the VTR, such an old design may not be able to pass Thai emission laws. Should be slightly cheaper locally than the Kawa 250 if Honda play fair. Both Kawasaki and Honda would do well to do a naked version of these bikes. The UK still has the CBR125 so don't know about a new 150. A bit of competition for Kawasaki should hot things up nicely.

thaicbr Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Greg do you have any spec or pictures? 33hp out of a single that passes emissions. jeeze if correct they have done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregchambers Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I have the paper edition of Motorcycle News, it will turn up on their site (motorcyclenews.com), have not checked yet. Riding position looks similar to the CBR150 so not too extreme, only specs they mention have given already, It does not look the same as any photos posted in this thread.

thaicbr Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Na the articles not on the site yet just the front page. Does it look a bit like the Kawa ninja 250. cos thats what my bloke reckoned it looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
