Few months back Honda officially organized first test drive for all dealers at Thailand’s BIRA racing track. In Udaipur, Lakecity Honda being the only dealer of Honda two-wheelers is getting ready to put this latest fire machine in market. The bike is already displayed at their showroom.

Professional bike rider and stuntman of Udaipur Shael Hussain has did the test ride of Honda CBR250R exclusively for Udaipurtimes.com, but before that here are some specifications of the bike.

The most electrifying feature in this new Honda CBR250R is the combined anti-lock system which prevents wheel lock during sudden braking or under tough riding conditions. This feature is very unusual in this price range.

It is highly believed that Honda CBR250R is the first major competitor of Kawasaki Ninja 250R

Review by Shael Hussain (professional biker)

The bike has an awesome performance say it speed, gripping, control or look. Though the design and output is perfect for sport bike but it also runs smoothly on normal traffic road.

There is only one problem I noticed while speeding it. There is a need of gear shifting if you apply brake in high speed, if compared to Kawasaki Ninja 250R, ninja is more controllable but again CBR250R beats ninja in price and also CBR is too light in weight than Ninja.

All over it was a great experience riding it.
