Launched in 2011, the CBR250R swapped the old four-cylinder recipe for a simple fuel-injected single built in Thailand for world markets. Styling borrowed from the VFR1200F, and Honda offered optional combined ABS, unusual in the class at the time. It was pitched as an affordable, economical first sportbike that is also comfortable enough for commuting and carrying a passenger.
