Honda's CBF250. June 2006

The sleek and stylish CBF250 will be available from dealers this June and replaces the legendary 'Y' model that has served the market well for over 10 years.

Slim and sporty, the CBF250 debuted two years ago overseas to broad acclaim, providing striking good looks, light handling and exciting performance.

The bike's attractive styling combined with an impressive range of performance will appeal to a wide cross-section of riders, both relative newcomers to the sport as well as more experienced riders looking for an inexpensive and reliable runabout.

Compact and confidence-inspiring, the CBF250 is a highly economical mount offering features one more often associates with much larger displacement machines.
The CBF's power comes from a quick-revving DOHC 4-valve engine that starts quickly with the push of a button and pumps out an impressive surge of acceleration to maximise riding enjoyment.

Its slim, lightweight chassis and impeccable handling are also specially configured for exciting yet confident control. Technical features include a compliant 37mm front fork ensuring swift and sure handling, and a mono- shock damper supporting a sharp looking box-section aluminium swingarm for superb comfort when the riding gets brisk.
Wide tubeless tyres mounted on sporty cast aluminium wheels further ensure the CBF's light, responsive handling, providing not only the look but the exhilarating feel of full sport riding oriented performance.

Brakes are light of feel and instantly responsive, including a large diameter drilled front disc effectively stopped by a dual piston caliper and a reliable dual leading-shoe rear drum. With all these advanced features available on such an attractive and reasonably priced motorcycle, it's no wonder that the CBF250 has become such a popular face overseas. It will no doubt do the same here in Australia.

RRP including dealer delivery is $5,490.
