Hello children, was having a random browse around the 'net (you know, where you look at some Wikipedia article on leading link forks and then 10 minutes later you're looking at the history of neckties), and came across this page: http://www.longyan.ccoo.cn/auto/carshow.asp?cid=286

Anyway, my Chinese isn't very good, but it looks like an import site for a new CBR250, related to some auto show?

I put a picture in as well. Is it legit? Does such an animal exist? Or is it one of those domestic models with a low-budget 250cc twin, with a fancy name to keep the locals amused?

Is this in fact just a picture of a normal CBR600RR? Sportsbikes all look the same.

Yeah, it looks like it after googling the CBR600. The strange thing is the amount of different sites with these CBR600 photos (if that's what they are) purporting them to be CBR250s.

I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years there's CBR250 clones coming out of China. There's a 250cc limit imposed on many regions there.

That example looks rather illegitimate to me though.

Have a look at www.alibaba.com and see if you can find anything similar.

Looks suspiciously like the '06 CBR600RR.
Do you really think Honda are going to throw radial-mount callipers, usd forks, and under-seat exhaust at the 250 market? Be great if they did tho', eh?

The original CBR250RRRRRRR was pretty fancy for its time.

But I think its days have past.

Well it says it is the brand new imported CBR250 from Japan.

4200 yuan = NZ $753

Everything will be taken care of; packaging, delivery etc.. Can also visit the company to discuss further etc.

I think that is about right in the translation.
