For 1987 the four-cylinder 250 was renamed CBR250R (MC17) and gained a fully enclosed fairing in the style of the larger CBR 'Hurricane' models. The high-revving 249 cc DOHC four was carried over, now in a sportier, more aerodynamic package. It was aimed squarely at Japan's fiercely contested 250 cc sports class.
