Well, I took one for a test ride two day's ago, and now have a nice new Red CBR250R sitting in my garage. Took the long way home and managed to put 80km on the clock tonight to start running it in. 
the CBR250R is just that great isn't it! Congrats on getting a CBR250R.Well, I took one for a test ride two day's ago, and now have a nice new Red CBR250R sitting in my garage. Took the long way home and managed to put 80km on the clock tonight to start running it in.![]()
From Hamilton.From a fellow Kiwi, albeit over 10,000 km from Aotearoa at present.... Kia ora. Your CBR 250R must be one of the first in NZ. Where?

I envy you resident of the southern hemisphere.And after another 60Km in the freezing cold night air.. I'm frozen, but the bike is doing well...
Ah... the Waikato fog, there's nothing like it. I was reminded of that a year or back as we watched a Super 14 Rugby game in Hamilton, as we enjoyed a beer at a beach side bar here in Phuket.... satellite TV makes the world a small place. Over the last ten minutes that Waikato fog crept over the wall of the of the stadium, and by the end of the match it was not possible to see the other side of the field. I wonder if it will be the same for the match this Saturday.And after another 60Km in the freezing cold night air.. I'm frozen, but the bike is doing well...
Yep, the cold damp air that just gets in through any number of layers of clothingThe damp is what really chills to the bone. The visibility, or lack of it, in fog can make life interesting too.
Some nice days for riding though.
How does the CBR250R handle unsealed roads?
Busted.... you are reaching the honourable status of old chappy too!Yep, the cold damp air that just gets in through any number of layers of clothing. We used to ride with a full thickness news paper shoved down the front of the leathers, under all the jackets. Seemed to work the best for keeping you warm...
As for unsealed roads? are you kidding.. take my shiny new CBR off road.... I am sure it will be fine. (It will even sound like a CRF250. Although heavily muffled)
Yeah, Almost..Busted.... you are reaching the honourable status of old chappy too!
