2013 Honda CBR250R : Repsol Graphics and Minimal Changes

“Probably the biggest news for the 2013 CBR250R is some new color schemes including an all new Honda Repsol Edition.”

The word is out on the 2013 Honda CBR250 models and here at Dillon Brothers Motorsports we can’t wait to get our hands on them and give em a spin. Since it’s inception in 2011, the Honda CBR250R has been putting some serious heat on Kawasaki and it’s Ninja 250R as it attempts to take over the top spot in the 250cc sport bike field. It looks like 2013 will be no different as Honda comes out with some new looks for their CBR 250R models in 2013. So far though there is no solid CBR release date.

Probably the biggest news for the 2013 CBR250R is some new color schemes including an all new Honda Repsol Edition. The other color changes include a solid black, solid red and the slightly revised pearl white, blue and red model.  The new 2013 models will feature all black wheels, except for the Repsol graphics, and a new black exhaust cover.  Note: the Repsol  Honda edition will only be available in a standard, non-ABS model.

Honda’s CBR250R stormed onto the beginner sport bike field in 2011 with features that no other manufacture on the market could match. With the only electronic fuel injection and ABS option in the 250cc field, Honda has forced the rest of the manufacturers to rethink their entire approach to the entry level sport bike class. Rumor has it that Kawasaki is now coming out with their own fuel injected Ninja 300R models  and an ABS option next year in an attempt to hold onto their long held spot on top of the small sport bike class of motorcycles. Kawasaki is also planning to replace the current Ninja ZX-6R with a 636cc engine and possibly releasing a Ninja 400 to the US market.

Featuring a low seat height of just 30.5 inches, a curb weight of only 357 lbs. and a whopping 77 miles per gallon, the 2013 Honda CBR250R may be the ultimate beginner motorcycle. With it’s exceptional handling, light weight and amazing fuel efficiency it’s guaranteed to appeal to many new riders as well as experienced riders looking to save at the gas pump as fuel prices continue to climb. As usual I recommend a good motorcycle training course for all new riders and a continuing education skilled riders course is always good to keep your riding skills sharp.
