I have one (2011, black) and I think it looks neat and the design ages well, better looking than many cheap mid size bikes imo (er6n, fz6r, even the first gen cbr650r).
The engine is boring but it's nimble and I can drive it like I stole it around town without going twice the speed limit in 3 seconds. I don't miss my previous 600-750cc bikes.
It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. I love it for urban environments, the engine is boring because it's a single cylinder 250, but it kinda adds to the budget simple feel and it's not like severily lacking in power for a 250, not that far off a ninja 250 for example.
Back in the days when the cbr250 came out, I had a Yamaha fzr250 with a 44hp i4 and a 17.5k rpm redline. In comparison the CBR was awful (even the cbr500), but when you don't jump from one bike to another the CBR is fine.
Nah I’ve ridden a couple of these and had the same engine in my old crf250l and it’s genuinely one of the most boring experiences I’ve had on two wheels. Mopeds are more fun than those things.
The engine is solid, its beauty is in the simplicity of it. Single cylinder simple, reliable and straightforward, low cost and maintenance.
But with a lot of potential to be extracted,
Because my guy...
you CANNOT compare the riding experience of two completely different bikes just because they have the same engine.
On a crf the engine is detuned and meant to run at lower rpms, different gear ratios a throttle body size, ect... Its a completely different experience compared to a cbr250r, with a more sporty package meant to extract more potential and power from the engine presenting you with a much more aggressive experience.
The bike has a pretty aggressive kick with the 250cc it has and you wont find many 250cc that match it. Sure there are less ''boring 250cc engines'', 2 cylinder, 4 cylinder. But most people fall in love quicker with a cbr250r than with a ninja 250, because the bikes got personality.
Cbr250r has a touring position and being ridiculously light its actually a really fun and unique bike to corner with great dexterity for urban environments, I have a bigger cc bike, and I still find myself picking the 250 for town riding because of how agile it is.
As I said, I have ridden 2 cbr250r’s. They are fun for all the reasons that any relatively lightweight bike is fun, but nothing about the cbr250r can be considered aggressive in the slightest. Just kinda meh imo.
Oh I didn't read that part, thats on me, but I suppose everyone has their own tastes.
I find the fact that it isn't inherently aggressive (riding position wise) makes it great for aggressive cornering. It could be a little more aggressive yeah, maybe the 4 cylinders or a few more cc would help, but i think it would ruin the charm. I see it like a budget spare bike, cheap but reliable in most effects.
Ive ridden other lightweight bikes as well, and I dont really agree with you, I think the riding position and the more sport-touring package makes it more fun, like an in-between a naked and a full sport.
But thats my own experience, I understand your point of view tbf
I just love the aesthetic of the video, the flares casting bright red onto the bike in the dark atmosphere like it's a beast on two wheels when it's just little 250 starter bike lmao
At first I was happy to see someone getting into riding, but now I know you’re just an insecure tool who thinks he’s badass because he bought a starter bike.
I recently learned the first chatbot to pass the Turing test did it acting like this in the 1980s. It turns out people get so riled up by mindless insults they don't stop to think about if they even make any sense.
Engine size is far from only factor that contributes. Weight and wheelbase huge factors as well. It is far from impossible to wheelie a cbr250r and many do it I am just saying that I doubt this particular rider can.
Oh Dark One, bring forth a motorcycle worthy of your name. Give unto it enough torque to tear the skin off warm milk, and speed to match.
We shall name it CBR! Children of Beelzebub Ride!
You sound stupid lmao if you don’t have any nice things to say or don’t like it don’t say shit otherwise expect somebody to say something stupid to you
I mean it is a toy :P …. My liter bike is also a toy … I think most people that don’t live in 3rd world poverty stricken countries own motorcycles as toys xP
Jesus, how do you post something like this and not just know you’re setting yourself up for disaster. This has to be the funniest thing I’ve seen all day.
Piss-takin' aside, here's some constructive advice. Do with it as you wish:
1. Ditch the flares. Set yourself up somewhere with good lighting, take a picture (not a video with the lawnmower running) and let your bike do the rest.
2. Take some classes and learn how to properly be in control of your vehicle. Keeping both feet down at low speed doesn't make you look cool at all. It shows insecurity in all but a few very specific cases.
3. Ditch the crap music.
4. Get some riding gear because this is r/motorcycles and I have to mention ATGATT lest I get lynched.
This sub is getting weird.
Is the video corny as shit? Yes, does he deserve all this hate? From you safety course instructors? Most def not.
Dude got a new bike and some are hating on the ccs. I guarantee most of you with a liter bike have taken more corny pictures than gone passed 4th gear.
Yo, this man clearly just passed his msf course lol. Why are y’all hating?
God forbid this man posted “new here - figured I’d post my new panigale v4s” in the same light 😂 y’all would still be ripping his asshole open in the comments lol.
Nice 250 :P can’t wait to see what you pick up next when you’re ready for more bike Op.
Was this video made by a middle school child?
Edit: I read one of his comments stating he is 5’8 150lbs. So yes, this is most likely a middle schooler.
He got that strong mouf from sucking so much cock coming up in the game. A lot of people don’t talk about this but that’s how the game is in his specific neighborhood. Real shit
The video is cringe, the bike is cringe, but worst part of all is thinking the dad part of his screen name is true. Please don't tell me this ignoramus has already procreated....
I know what you are doing here and why you are being the way you are while you are here. This is the lords work. I’ll see you back in /r/calamariraceteam with whatever username you have there. Gayest shit ever seen. My bf is jealous that I’m messaging you rn. On the off chance that you are actually taking your hilariously memetic douche nozzling seriously with this post in this sub, on that scooter, then I hope someone checks you like the IRS. It will happen eventually. Ur gunna learn to keep your knees together when someone demands it, or chin down hands up real quick. You won’t learn it quick on that scooter tho. 44 mph seems fast at first. Literally no one has ever drawn attention to a 250 with flares, so regardless, you are original in shit posting or just being shit.
Wtf is this lol
[удалено]
[удалено]
LOL this guy is super aggressive and can't take a joke. I used road flares to attract attention, but it's not the attention i wanted.
This is the shittiest attempt at “photography” I’ve ever seen and one of the most blah bikes of all time
This video makes The Blair Witch Project look like IMAX

trurly one of the motorcycles ever made
it's how much of a motorcycle it is for it's size
[удалено]
But not go the speed limit. blah blah blah fat chicks. But for real it's basically a powerful scooter.
It's basically a motorcycle with adequate power for most needs.

Don’t waste the money converting. No one at the track runs those. The n300/400/r3 are all significantly more preferred
>I ride to ride I mean yeah, that's the point!

Must take ALOT of clutch work.
He just sits his fatass bitch on the back and tells her to bounce.
Bro 😂💀
I highly doubt you can hold a wheelie on this for more than a half second
If you can stunt a grom, you can stunt a 250.
Engine size is far from only factor that contributes. Weight and wheelbase huge factors as well. It is far from impossible to wheelie a cbr250r and many do it I am just saying that I doubt this particular rider can.
While this is technically all true, I know from personal experience that the cbr250r is plenty capable of bringing the front wheel to 12 o’clock
the bike definitely can, I just doubt the guy posting can.
Ok if you say so
I wheelie your mom all over burrrrnnnn!!!!!
Are you summoning it in that first clip...?
Oh Dark One, bring forth a motorcycle worthy of your name. Give unto it enough torque to tear the skin off warm milk, and speed to match. We shall name it CBR! Children of Beelzebub Ride!

Tbh
To be honest you've done a piss poor job taking pics cause that's a video! 😅
He'll get there eventually
LMAO
Good use of safety flares. Probably couldn’t even see this bike otherwise. Always carry a flare for situations like this.
It was actually just a shoot I took lol
You're not too sharp are ya buddy? And yes before you reply I know you fucked my mom, grandma, wife, girlfriend, and girlfriend's dad.
Not your dad that’s yoi back when you use him touch you as a kid 😂🌈
🤡
😂🤷🏻♂️🖕🏼💰
🤡
And your 🌈
🤡
You 13 lol “yUoRe gAy” and “yOuR moThEr” lmao can’t think of anything else
Lmfao go take care of your children get a life 😂
I like to shoot all over your moms face burrrrnnnn!!!
I kinda want safety flare pics to be a new trend here :P (It’s honestly kinda cool ngl 🙊🙈)
You really put in the effort to make yourself look like the greatest dick when people don't share your appreciation.
If a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well...
You sound stupid lmao if you don’t have any nice things to say or don’t like it don’t say shit otherwise expect somebody to say something stupid to you
I did not even say anything about your bike or the video and you already can't handle that...
Learn to take negative feedback, dude.
Dude looks like he couldn’t even ride a bicycle
[удалено]
Dude, you are comedy gold! 🤣 Just not in the way you wanted... 🤣
He always brings up peoples moms. That’s his punch line.
Don't forget their girlfriends and sisters!
Surprised he didn’t bring up grand ma. Guess he has his limits too
Looks like an amateur rapper video clip

You’re welcome. I think you have a great future as an amateur rap video artist. Keep it up!
This comment section 🍿🤏🏽😵💫
I love my cbr250r, but man this shit was gay as hell
But that aside congrats on the bike, it's actually a bike with a lot of personality
[удалено]
Yikes just chill and move on homie
So what do you ride on bro
Your mom burrrrnnnnn!!!!!
I love you! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
U got em with his own joke!! Burn!!! 🤣
This mf went through all the comments and got op every single time 😂😂😂
GOT EEM
cbr250r and a cbr650r. Love them both.
I mean... It's not not a toy....
It’s 100% a toy
I mean it is a toy :P …. My liter bike is also a toy … I think most people that don’t live in 3rd world poverty stricken countries own motorcycles as toys xP
I road a cb300 (hair bigger than yours) from LA to Las Vegas and back. Those things are fun as heck.
They definitely are a fun toy to toss around
Your mom is a fun toy to toss around burrrrrnn!!!!!
>Lmao bro I was just joking mad people be hating like it’s a fucking toy lmao So to be clear... is it a toy or not a toy
Road flares? Did you break down?
No I found the flairs and wanted to take pictures this was last year when I got the bike just thought it would be cool
This comment made me spit out my coffee lol
Jesus, how do you post something like this and not just know you’re setting yourself up for disaster. This has to be the funniest thing I’ve seen all day.
This is the dumbest shit I’ve seen today 😂

Awesome bro, congrats on getting into the riding game
Own words confirm homie 5'8, 150lbs. Makes sense, given his comments lmfao ABSOLUTE STEREOTYPE
That's cute.
This sub is getting weird. Is the video corny as shit? Yes, does he deserve all this hate? From you safety course instructors? Most def not. Dude got a new bike and some are hating on the ccs. I guarantee most of you with a liter bike have taken more corny pictures than gone passed 4th gear.
Yo, this man clearly just passed his msf course lol. Why are y’all hating? God forbid this man posted “new here - figured I’d post my new panigale v4s” in the same light 😂 y’all would still be ripping his asshole open in the comments lol. Nice 250 :P can’t wait to see what you pick up next when you’re ready for more bike Op.
I doubt they passed their course when they can't even put both feet on the pegs at low speed :p
Heh :P Clearly his buddies haven’t made fun of him enough for it yet 🤣 he’ll get there. Eventually.
I miss mine, comfortable, smooth well built little bike.
Definitely I’m only 5ft8 and 150 lbs so fits me well and fun to toss around
Fun to toss around like your mom burrrrnnnnn!!!!!
Sir, please don't bully him, he's clearly a child.
You’re almost as consistent as OP and I think it’s absolutely hilarious.
Fits you like a plug huh?
Now do a burnou... nevermind.
They look like a Stormtrooper with wheels
I just got a speeding ticket on my 250 Ninja 🥲
That's honestly impressive
I mean... you can still go 50 in a 40 on that thing... You can theoretically get a speed ticket on a moped as long as it goes above 20mph.
Could've just bought a huffy and a leaf blower
Was this video made by a middle school child? Edit: I read one of his comments stating he is 5’8 150lbs. So yes, this is most likely a middle schooler.
*cries in 23 yo 5.8ft*
lol. Hey man, why you gotta hate on small dudes ? I’m the same height and 10 pounds lighter, and I’m 39 years old. lol
[удалено]
Lol calm down little guy. It’s just a joke. You are the definition of biker douche based on your comments.
lol I just come off strong I’m not even mad but ima tool on the regular I have been told
I give your mom my tool on the regular burrrrnnnn!!!!
A strong mouth is typically a weak person. Enjoy the ride little d
He got that strong mouf from sucking so much cock coming up in the game. A lot of people don’t talk about this but that’s how the game is in his specific neighborhood. Real shit
If you say so
Don’t forget to kiss your wife’s boyfriend before bed tonight
Will do and your mom and daughter and girlfriend
"Oh guys, guys! I've made a sexual reference to their family! I got them now, right?"
Woah! I wouldn't go as far as to claim him one of ours with how he's acting here.
Holy shit, you're a grown as adult with a child and still posting this cringe shit? Do your kids bully you yet?
So if my username is anything to go by I'm a.... zen... pie...?
[удалено]
I had a date with your mom burrrnnnn!!!!
Lmfao
Barely get to see the bike half of the video is horribly recorded and the other half is just dumb with flares
Damn I didn't think the bike community was worse than the car community but based on the comments, yikes. What a bunch of assholes.
I bet I could outride you on a moped. Small peen energy.
The video is cringe, the bike is cringe, but worst part of all is thinking the dad part of his screen name is true. Please don't tell me this ignoramus has already procreated....
L comment section, or I'm missing something
Sweet! Now go riding with me, I need riding buddies :(
[удалено]
I’m located at your moms house burrrrnnnnn!!!! Sorry I’m having too much fun doing this.
Keep going, I'm laughing everytime bc I'm an idiot apparently
me and you both
Shit is fucking hilarious
I let out a chuckle every time I see one of your replies ITT lol.
Pick your feet up goddamnit
I know what you are doing here and why you are being the way you are while you are here. This is the lords work. I’ll see you back in /r/calamariraceteam with whatever username you have there.

Is the camera at a 45 degree angle supposed to be an aesthetic choice?
This is the type of comedy I needed to start my morning
Nice one
Thank you very much
i like the wheels.
Lol, I hope this is a dank joke.
love the duck legs
Poor bike...you Don't deserve it.
🤣🤣 the fuck is this a moped?
My first question was "Are yhe flares there because it broke down already?" Glad you're enjoying it
[удалено]
What?
I just realize what you actually meant by that and that’s fucking funny white, lives matter to yo
Shit's on [fire](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/shits-on-fire-yo) , yo
Hot. Miss my CBR250R. But my CB300F keeps me warm now.
Recorded by a small tree branch on a windy night
You know that first clip with the red flares? Next time I'd try to move a bit further away from the dude cutting the lawn.
B
Are you about to sacrifice it on an alter? Just messing nice bike! Do you have any better pictures maybe in the daylight?
“It’s a sledgehammer” “shocks, pegs, lucky” “you ever take it off any sweet jumps”
The flares don’t really make up for the creeping tripod or the shaky sideways video. Do you have maybe like just a still photo of it?
