Comment
The Honda CBR125R is an amazing
little motorcycle. Sure it only has 125cc but it got the
latest EFI so the power delivery is maximised in almost all
instances.
It may be thin but it is quite long
furthermore it should be reliable since it is used as a basis for
developing countries 'premium' sports bikes. As a result it looks
great! Sure the Kawasaki 250R is bigger but it's twice the
price.

The all new Honda CBR250R
Australian release date is 20th of March 2011 and is the claimed
successor to old CBR250RR first sold in the late 1990's. Unlike the
original this one is NOT as high tech. Conventional steel frame and
single cylinder says
it all but at least it looks good and is well made based on the
example at the motor show. I think the new 250 Ninja will still be
the better choice.

The successor to the ubiquitous CB250. What can I
say? The CBF - you've probably ridden during your motorcycle
licensing course and probably even contemplated getting one
for real. NO! motorcycling is not about conforming like this!
The CBF250 is a safe bike to get if you must - but
wouldn't it be nice to try something else? I would seriously
consider the Hyosung GT instead of the CBF.

This is a virtual clone of the Ducati Monster if
ever I saw one, except that its a bit smaller. Unlike some
clones this one actually looks good. What happened to unique
Honda designs? Perhaps Honda wanted to get back at Ducati for
cloning it's sporties? Who knows...
Aside from the clone looks the VTR spec wise seems
like a great
little bike and worth considering.

This model has been around for years and despite
being so I've never ridden one. So what I say?Well,
similar to what I had to say for the other trail/off road bikes in
this class. See the Kawaski page for more comments.
Summed up it seems like a decent bike it looks
just as good as the brands.

This model has been around for years.
It was available new back in the 90's for a few years but it was way
too expensive at around $10,000. You can only get one as a
grey import these days or privately imported new from Japan.
Hence it is quite rare but gee it looks good!
The Honda V25 is the best looking custom
cruiser under 650cc you can buy. The Yamaha XVS250 in the
styled in traditional or classic cruiser rather than the Custom
style which the V25 clearly is!
The solid rear wheel to alloy front along
with beautifully angled exhausts pipes and large frame make it a
standout which ever way you look at it.
