Currently in production are the VTR250 (V-twin) and CBR250R (single-cylinder). Discontinued models include the CB250 Hornet and CB250 Sapphire, both featuring inline 4-cylinder engines. Power Output: Equipped with a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder, DOHC four-valve engine modified from the CBR300R, with a displacement of 286cc and a maximum power output of 23.1kw. Styling: The design style is largely similar to the CB150R previously released in Thailand, featuring an appearance that blends classic café racer elements with modern lines. Full LED lighting for both front and rear, an LCD digital instrument panel, a tubular steel cradle frame, a radially mounted front brake caliper, and a robust rear swingarm all give this new bike a distinctly different flavor compared to traditional street bikes.
I have a special affection for motorcycles, and the Honda CB series can be said to represent the evolution from classic to modern. In the late 1960s, the CB750 emerged as a symbol of street bikes, later expanding to more displacements. Common models today include the CB125R, an entry-level bike that's small yet robust; the CB300R, a stylish small-to-medium displacement option; the CB500F, which offers excellent balance and is ideal for daily commuting; the CB650R, leaning toward a sporty style with an enchanting four-cylinder engine sound; and the CB1000R, a high-performance beast that poses a significant riding challenge. These models inherit the CB lineage, offering agility for city riding and enough power for touring. If you love a retro feel, the CB series maintains its unique charm in both appearance and performance—just choose based on your riding experience. I often analyze their inherited design language in community discussions.
Riding the Honda CB series feels amazing. I used the CB500F for two years, and it was responsive and hassle-free. This series offers a variety of models: the lightweight CB125R is perfect for beginners to practice; the single-cylinder CB300R is economical and practical; the mid-range CB500F handles daily rides with ease; the CB650R delivers upgraded power for thrilling mountain rides; and the CB1000R's high torque is downright addictive. Each model has its strengths—the CB300R is more agile for city commuting, while the CB1000R excels on highways. In rider groups, it's often said that choosing a CB means no worries about maintenance, as they're all quite durable. Personally, I recommend trying the CB650R—it strikes a great balance between fun and practicality, making it ideal for both commuting and weekend rides.
