Video: Honda CBR250RR teased ahead of global launch

Honda's upcoming quarter-litre sports bike has been teased in a brief video, which indicates that the official launch isn't far away. The video also confirms that the new bike would be named as the CBR250RR.

The CBR250RR is based on Honda's Lightweight Supersports Concept, which was showcased at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. The released teaser video points towards the fact that Honda designers have managed to carry forward various design cues from the concept to the production bike.

The fuel tank gets a multi-surface layout and has been given a matte finish. Other details revealed in the video include clip-on handlebars, up-side down front forks, and a single front disc brake with an ABS unit. Specifications of the Honda CBR250RR haven’t yet been revealed, but the powertrain is expected to churn out a power output of around 40 BHP.

Once launched, the CBR250RR is expected to take on competitors like the Yamaha R3 and Kawasaki Ninja 300.
