Honda blitzes small capacity market

[wkid_one]

All new CBR125R and CBF250 launched

Here are two, all new, bikes from Honda for those of us who are 17, or on a restricted licence. Firstly the CBR125R, apparently with style cues from the CBR600RR but we’ve been looking at the pic for 10 hours straight now and we can’t really see it, paint scheme aside.
It does look good though, and the CBR tag should get some street cred even though the 13bhp probably won’t. Expect a sporty feel as it has a twin spar frame, a twin piston front brake caliper and peak power is at a single-cylinder popping 10k rpm. It’s built in Thailand, so expect a low price, and watch for mental insects under the seat.
Secondly, there’s a new CBF250 to join the CB family. Looking similar to the 500, it has a single cylinder, 20bhp engine and some surprisingly sharp lines. Features include a digital clock and fuel gauge.

Finally, for those who care (learners, commuters), the CG125 finally gets a disc brake up front and electric start. Well it is the 21st century.

The CBF250, they SUCKS!!!!
I had them for 3 years before........damn, those things are slower than my grandma walking.....(well, not literally lah...but you do get the picture....DON'T YOU?)....

THe handling is crap, the stability is crap, the nose dives like crazy under braking, comfort is none, and power, well, you can't mention that word in one sentence with the bike's name.

I'd take GN250 or even GN125 anytime, thank's.

Is that a custom?

I think it is a production bike restricted to the Asian market only.

Got of my arse and checked  - it appears to be a custom with a set of CBR600 F4i fairings - still looks good - pity the factories dont still make 250 and 400 sport bikes
