Description

Additional photos of this Honda CBR250R are available here for your perusal.

Nowadays you can get all kinds of 250-400cc entry level sportbikes in the US, but back in 1990 the entire market was basically the Kawasaki Ninja 250 and the Honda VTR250. In Honda’s home market of Japan, things were a bit more exciting. That’s where they offered the CBR250R, affectionately known as the Babyblade.

The 250cc inline four engine produced 45 horsepower (back when the Ninja 250 made about 32) and redline was an astonishing 19,000 rpm – the highest of any mass-produced motorcycle in history.

This example is VIN: MC191054678. The seller acquired it a year ago from a collector in Canada – the bike had previously been imported from Australia.

During his ownership, the seller has covered “just over 1,000 miles.” The odometer shows 16,749 kilometers (10,407 miles).

Maintenance:
Carb rebuild, fuel filter, grips, spark plugs, oil change.”

Modifications:
MC22 carbs and intake. “The conversion was done very cleanly, I didn’t even notice until I found out I got the wrong carb kit.”

Tinted windscreen.

Aftermarket grips.

Cosmetic Blemishes:
The seller notes “some small scratches and one cracked corner on the fairing.”




It is riding on Kings Tire tires which have aged out.

Currently located in Muskego, Wisconsin, this Honda is offered on a clean Wisconsin title.
