Which Motor Bike Is Best - Honda CBR250R Vs Ninja 250R
72Honda launched a new sports motorbike in March 2011 in India. It is a fantastic motor bike by the name of Honda CBR250R at a price tag of 1.43 lakhs INR for base model without anti-lock braking system and 1.63 lakhs for top model with anti-lock braking system. Honda CBR250R is an SOHC single cylinder unit with class leading power and torque. Considering that one has to shell out more than 1 lakhs INR for a puny 150cc R15 and close to 1 lakh INR for the not so exciting Hero Honda Karizma ZMR, and at the other end, one has to spend 3 lakhs for the Ninja 250R, Honda CBR bike from Honda has finally changed the biking scenario in India dramatically and also according to me, Honda CBR250R is the best sports motor bike in India in 1.5 lakhs price range.
- Buying Best Bike to Attract Girls in College - Ninja 250R or Honda CBR250R
This is another hub where I have answered a few questions of my college going cousin and who wants to buy a bike so that he can attract girls.
Apart from pricing, the major difference between Honda CBR250R and Kawasaki Ninja 250R is engine configuration. In principal, an equally potent product can come a little cheaper but not at half the price. Honda has taken its best single cylinder bike engine as base in CBR whereas Ninja has taken a twin-cylinder engine for its 250R bike. In theory, CBR should have less power due to being single cylinder, but in real world, the difference is not much as Ninja 250R makes 33 BHP and 22 Newton meter of torque whereas CBR250R is making 30 BHP and 18 Newton meter of torque. In fact, the difference in performance is even narrower as CBR is lighter of the two. Then Honda CBR has the edge over Ninja 250R in terms of instrumentation.
Ninja 250R has older generation analog meters whereas CBR250R has fifth generation digital instrumentation. Another important point is that the Honda CBR250R Thailand specification makes 30 BHP which is down by around 1 to 2 BHP when this bike comes to Indian market. So that is why it is better to say that if we get 4 BHP less at half the price and the brand image of owning a Honda which is second to none in the world of bikes and the reliability and best in class handling factor associated with all the Hondas, then one should definitely go for the Honda CBR250R which is the best sports motorbike in India in this price range. It is really a value for money bike.

These bikes are total fun Rorshak Sobchak. What a fun username. I like it.
i have p220 and i love it! :)
Thanks for your comment sarkarinaukria.
I wish the Cbr was half the price in America too...
I have not checked it out Tommy. What is the price of CBR in America? Is it at the same price as Ninja? If it is, then how come Honda can sell CBRs at half the price of Ninja's in India. I need to find answers to these questions. Thanks for your comment Tommy. I am inclined to write a new hub on these bikes now.
The Ninja and the Cbr both cost $4000... With ABS the CBR is 4500. I think shipping costs of the CBR raise the price for America but I am not sure. Also I would like to say I enjoyed this article greatly and thank you for posting it!
Thanks a lot for posting this information Tommy. I am amazed to know that Ninja is priced at 4000 US dollars in America whereas in India, it is selling at approximately $6500 (3 lakhs INR). Now my point is again proven here. For Indian sports bike lovers, Honda CBR is the best option till now.
I've got my CBR250R ABS here in America. Total Shipping with plates installed, inspection,and full fluids it was just under $5000. Totally worth the extra cost over the Ninja. I rode both bikes and definently like the Honda much better: smoother, more comfortable, seems very close speedwise, and much more technology. Just an all around better bike, in my opinion.
Thats surprising that the Ninja would be cost more in an area where the 250cc and below choices are far greater than a place where the Ninja has been basicaly the only choice for Americans. I think even at the same price I would still choose the CBR.
@Garcia20Fast, it is interesting to learn that you have experienced the fun of both bikes, Ninja and CBR. Thanks for the exact information on pricing and shipping costs.
@Tommy Bell, yes buddy that's what I was thinking since yesterday. I am glad that most people are in favor of CBR which I like the most.
Plus friends I am going to publish a new hub on July 1, 2011 for the Hubpages Share A Like Contest. The hub name is which is the best bike to attract girls in college. This is a fun hub specifically written for my social media friends. I would highly appreciate if you like that hub on FB as I have compared both these bikes Honda CBR and Ninja 250R from technical viewpoints plus giving my advice to college boys who want to find and date the most beautiful girls. Cheers.
Who cares which one is better? I WANT BOTH!!
I'm sort of scared of motorcycles. Yes, I iz skeered!
I don't let fear bother me too much though, and the prices at the pump have about convinced me that I need a bike.
I'm thinking that I want a Honda Rebel, cause I'm a Rebel Without A Clue, and the little one cylinder Rebel, I'm told, is what someone who's never rode a bike before needs to start out on.
Thanks a lot Simone Smith and Wesman Todd Shaw for your visit and comments. Plus Simone, I have a lot of ideas for the social media content but I am having very less time to write articles. Totally consumed with multiple things.
