The Honda CBR250RR is a CBR series 250 cc (15 cu in) twin-cylinder sport bike made by Astra Honda Motor, a subsidiary of Honda in Indonesia.[8] It was unveiled in July 2016 in Jakarta.[9] Production was started in November of the same year for the 2017 model year.[10] It is the first CBR motorcycle to have a twin-cylinder engine on RR moniker. It is also the smallest Honda motorcycle to wear a CBR-RR badge. Previously, Honda also used the CBR250RR name for their four-cylinder sport bike sold between 1990 and 1996. The bike is officially sold in Indonesia, Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, and Malaysia.[11][12]
According to Honda, the CBR250RR has technologies derived from the RC213V MotoGP bike, including throttle-by-wire technology, three riding modes, and a more compact engine design than its competitors.[13][better source needed]
The basis for the CBR250RR was Honda’s Light Weight Super Sports Concept that was shown at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. The concept bike had a parallel-twin engine that redlined at 14,000 rpm.[14]
The CBR250RR received its first update in July 2020, which included assist and slipper clutch as standard equipment. The compression ratio was increased by changing the piston shape, using a smaller diameter balancer. This and other updates increases the power and torque figures to 30 kW (40.2 hp; 40.8 PS) and 25 N⋅m (18 lbf⋅ft). The quickshifter became available as an option, except for Indonesian SP model where it became standard.[5][15]
The CBR250RR received its second update in September 2022.[16]
As of 2017[update], the CBR250RR has participated in Asia Road Racing Championship at Asia Production 250cc (AP250) class. The bike produces more than 40 hp (30 kW) and weighs 135 kg (298 lb).[17] It won the championship in its debut season as well as the following year.[18] The CBR250RR has also been raced in the Indonesian Indospeed Race Series championship and Malaysia Superbike Championship.
