    The internet is swirling with rumors or a parallel twin CBR250RR, I have e-mail Mr. Honda to let him know his engineers seem to have misplaced the other 2 cylinders

    Interesting that they can't confirm the engine configuration...parallel or V. Given modern design and materials you'd think a 40hp 250cc V-twin would be viable; stick a little blower in there and bam...instant cult bike! Also interesting was this comment I read...

    "...The big surprise is the engine configuration, Honda is likely to use a V-Twin layout and not a parallel-twin design for the mill. Certain reports suggest that Honda could plonk the VTR250’s powerplant in the CBR250RR. The said 249cc mill produces 32 PS of peak power at 10,500 RPM and 23.5 Nm of peak torque at 8500 RPM, matched to a 5-speed gearbox. But looking at the engine configuration, we doubt this motor will be used. Meanwhile Kawasaki is working on an in-line 4 quarter-litre bike and KTM too is set to launch a twin-cylinder 250."

    What they're going to phase out their chook bike? But they only just made it.
    As for the looks! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, yes?. To me it looks hideous. It has no style at all.
    I think this looks good and I think it will always look good, but that Honda 250 will look very dated in 25 years.

    Agree with Blair on this one. It looks like every other new bike.

    Agreed. Generic sportsbike look. Can't tell a CBR250R apart from the 500R, 600RR or 1000R. Must be a Honda thing

    the vtwin from the vtr would be a nice change to the dirt bike engine they used. but its obvious if they used a parallel twin everyone would still buy it anyway, which is why they dont care.

    I don't know, they're starting to look the sameish to me. Which isn't a bad thing; corporate branding and brand awareness means most of us know it's a Honda, we just have to look a little closer to tell which one.

    Here in Thailand, the locals copied Tyga's body kit for 400 Hondas (Tyga won't sell a lot of parts to locals anymore) and they get fitted to everything. I wanted to buy a CBR400 MC19, but it is almost impossible to find one without the ubiquitous bodywork. So when I see this new Honda CBR250RR, I see a plonker with a stolen Tyga body kit.
