    2011 Honda CBR250R

    So Honda seems to be releasing a new 250 to compete with the Ninja 250R!

    http://world.honda.com/CBR250R/video/index.html

    Looks real nice, but it's a single! Why did they not put a IL4 in it?! (Yes yes I know, emissions laws and costs and everything else, but still, it would've been nice!)

    Motorcycling is like life - it's about the journey, not the destination.

    don't really think that is gonna compete with the ninja somehow, other than in the look department, but if it goes barrp barrrp like the crf250s it'll still be cool

    jeebus that things heavy though, 161kg for a 250 single, hope thats with a full tank of gas.

    The exhaust looks like it is trying to over compensate for something...

    It looks like it will be trying to compete with the daelim bike rather than the ninja.

    If it really is gonna be a single, it shouldn't be wearing the CBR badge...

    could the single cylinder focus be something to do with the shift in motogp classes whom I believe are bringing in a single cylinder 250cc engine class. I know ktm started developing a bike for this class a couple of years back.
    I'm sure this new cbr250r engine will be a long way from a factory team competition bike but it could be part of the reason for the shift in focus to single rather than inline 4.
    Or it could just be it was easier for them to slice a cylinder off the 999cc engine
