The GB250 Clubman was Honda's factory cafe racer for Japan's 250 cc class, built around the four-valve DOHC single from the CBX250RS. Its classic British look, with a long tank, low bars and spoked wheels, hid a revvy modern engine with a six-speed gearbox. It stayed in production with many small updates for 14 years and became a cult favourite in Japan.
