Last month Bike magazine promised a full ride report on the CBR250R. Instead all we get is a short 1 page gloss over. Bike being so performance oriented (they put down Harleys a lot.. e.g.: 'Harley Fat Bob, there's an 'L' missing in the name, also available as the 'Street Bob' (homeless variant)' ha ha..), they are careful to say that the CBR250R is not a performance/sport bike, fair enough....
My scanner would not scan, so I hope these digi point/shoot photos are legible...
There's an interesting bit.. they say that in the UK, the Honda costs 950 pounds LESS than the Ninja250 (!) so I checked the list prices.
At today's avg rate of 1 pound to 1.6 dollars, the list prices are roughly:
Ninja 250 4639 pounds = $7422.40
Honda 250 3688 pounds = $5900.80
I'm not sure how the cost of living in the UK compares to the US but on the surface those bikes are expensive compared to the US $3999 price !
I'm guessing that the 250 class is far more competitive in the UK so rather than go for price parity with the Ninja as they did for the US market, they've gone for a discount....
Can anyone in the UK comment ?
