The 2022 Honda CBR250RR becomes official in Japan; gets new shades

Japanese automaker Honda has launched the 2022 iteration of the CBR250RR motorcycle in its home country. Its price starts at JPY 821,700 (around Rs. 5.44 lakh).

The two-wheeler is offered in four colors, one of which features a racing-inspired livery. It has a sporty design, offers electronic driving aids and draws its power from a 249cc parallel twin engine that produces 40.4 hp of power.

The new Honda CBR250RR will be available in Japan from January 20 next year, and the brand aims to sell 3,500 units in 2022.

The introduction of new color options is expected to make the bike more attractive to customers and increase competition in the market. It will face competitors such as the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-25R.

The 2022 Honda CBR250RR features a muscular fuel tank, split seats, raised double-ended exhaust, raised windshield, and arrowhead-shaped mirrors.

The bike contains an LCD instrument cluster with a stopwatch, full LED lighting setup and designer wheels.

It is available in four shades: Graphite Black, Pearl Glare White, Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic and Grand Prix Red.

The new Honda CBR250RR is powered by a 249cc parallel twin-cylinder engine that generates maximum power of 40.4hp at 13,000rpm and maximum torque of 25Nm at 11,000rpm. The motor is combined with a 6-speed gearbox and an optional two-way quickshifter.

In terms of safety equipment, the Honda CBR250RR is equipped with disc brakes on the front and rear wheels, as well as dual-channel ABS, electric throttle and three driving modes: Comfort, Sport and Sport +.

The suspension tasks on the motorcycle are performed by inverted telescopic forks at the front and an aluminum swingarm at the rear.

In Japan, the 2022 Honda CBR250RR starts at JPY 821,700 (approx Rs. 5.44 lakh) for base colors and goes up to JPY 854,700 (approx Rs. 5.66 lakh) for the Grand Prix Red version.
