The CB Two Fifty was Honda's European-market version of the small air-cooled parallel twin sold in the US as the Nighthawk 250. It was a plain, light commuter with spoked wheels, a single front disc and a big 16-litre tank, aimed at learners and riders who valued economy over performance. Reviewers found it easy to handle and frugal but short on power next to the older CB250N Superdream.
