The RR isnt a year designator - its the model. There was an R (single R in the late 80s) and a RR (double R) in the 90s. rj is a year code.

If you want to get the low down on cibby 250s go to the jdm forums - they have all the stuff there.

yer i know the RR has nothin to do with year, i ment, like, are the preatty much theyt same bike, excepte it was called an RJ in the earlyier years or somthing?

Is the RJ model the race one as well, like the RR ?

U didn't listen to two seven. There is no such model as the CBR250RJ, there is a CBR250R and CBR250RR. The RR came out in 1990 and replaced the R. The CBR250RR(J) is just the designator for the year it was made, all pre 94 CBR250RR's are the same (paint changed sometime), after that they are restricted to 40hp.

R's have single front disc and quite a different looking frame to the RR's. I've never ridden an R myself so that's all i can offer

Buy a R(J) model and put it in a race. It'll be a race bike then.
Why would you want a race bike to learn on anyway?

Do you really need to ask???

Never heard of an RJ. I know I ride an RR.

Well heres the whole CBR250 chronology:

MC14 (CBR250 FOUR)
Actual mopels: CBR250FG & CBR250FG-YA: Both '86
45hp, twin font disks, bikini fairings, single head light, very high final gearing

MC17 (CBR250 R)
Actual models: CBR250R(H): '87
Same as above, but full fairings with slight changes to everything, lower final gearing.

MC19 (CBR250 R)
Actual models: CBR250R(J): '88 and CBR250R(K): '89
Twin head lamps, Bigger single front disk, fuel pump (no gravity feed), motor with more torque @ lower rpms. Still 45hp though. The RK is first CBR250 with speed limiter.

MC22 (CBR250 RR)
Actual models: CBR250RR(L): '90, '91, CBR250RR(N): 92,93 and CBR250RR(R): '94-'96. Anything after 96 was built in 96 and labelled the RR(R)II.
Totally changed frame. Bent swing arm, Back to small twin front disks, gravity petrol feed. Speedo cable from back sproket, siz spoke wheels. The RR(R) is now limited to 40hp (restricted in head and ignition - can't be removed).

Tidbit: the 18,500RPM redline is a myth - the revlimiter kicks in at 17,230rpm.

Don't the '90-'93 RRs have 45hp, and then the 40hp law came into force in Japan in '94? As far as I know, I have the '92 L model. The colour of mine is supposed to be the '92 colour scheme (colour NH-237P)

And the rev limiter didn't stop it going past 20k when I found false neutral

Yep '94 onwards (the RR(R)) is only 40hp. As for the rev counter... the engine isn't nessarily doing what needle says it is.

Yeah. I learnt something last night. Only the J and K models have the single disc. The CBR250R single headlight models both had dual discs up front. Weird that they changed to a single for a couple of models
