“Tour de Garages” – Post 4: A Mighty CBR 250
Richard, you were bang on , the year too! I am impressed!
This is a 1988 Honda CBR 250; a mighty 'little' bike, built for speed. This lightweight 250 cc bike has 4 cylinders ...Not your average starter bike! (Ken thought if I could actually get to it, in the non collection, and could sit on it, in the non collection ... my feet might even touch the ground, but this one has a bit too much power for me.)

45 hp with maximum speed about 110 mph (that's 177 kph. Holy little lightning Batman!")
Next ....

ReplyDeleteIncredibly quick ... you have an eye for the Italians!
DeleteHooray for Richard. That CBR is a sweet bike.
ReplyDeleteNo clue as to the next one......
My friend Ken didn't think too many people would be able to guess that one - he's impressed with Richard!
DeleteI was really surprised when I first saw one of the 250cc four cylinder bikes. Less rotating iniertia due to tiny pistons and short stroke with plenty of piston surface area equals lots of HP at high RPM.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe it was a 250, it looked much larger. I am told that 250 cc is the standard in the market for which it was built, so they added power instead of ccs.
DeleteAll I know is that it is some sort of rad looking sport bike...looking forward to the answer...can't stay long, there's snow to shovel again! Have a great day...Suzu
ReplyDeleteSuzu Gladi - you got that right. Truly a beautiful looking machine (half art have machine!)
