Honda Honda motorcycles have been around for ages. In fact they have supported the company in a financial sense and its reputation ever since the start. Honda has had many landmark models in the under 250cc class (Eg. NSR250 and CBR250RR) over the years. But in my opinion the 250 Magna or V25 Custom for example was probably the best - cruisers in terms of looks. Sure it was clone-ish in the base but Honda added the extra detail that set it apart. Unfortunately Honda has also made a few 'what the?' models like the 250 Rebel. The company has over the years won every single motor racing championship both motorcycle and car. As a result just like in the car world - if you can't decide which motorcycle to get then choose a Honda - any Honda. Personally if you can find a used one get the V25 or Magna.
It's a great looking bike and for a custom or cruiser that is hard
to fault. My second choice would be the CBR250RR the sportiest
out of all this class. Remember that in Australia these 2
motorcycles where very expensive priced from $9990 in the 90's so
official imports are quite rare. |

CBF250 Specifications in Brief
Engine: 1 cylinder 4-stroke Comment The successor to the ubiquitous CB250. What can I say? The CBF - you've probably ridden during your motorcycle licensing course and probably even contemplated getting one for real. NO! motorcycling is not about conforming like this! The CBF250 is a safe bike to get if you must - but wouldn't it be nice to try something else? I would seriously consider the Hyosung GT instead of the CBF.

VTR250 Specifications in Brief
Engine: V2 cylinder 4-stroke Comment This is a virtual clone of the Ducati Monster if ever I saw one, except that its a bit smaller. Unlike some clones this one actually looks good. What happened to unique Honda designs? Perhaps Honda wanted to get back at Ducati for cloning it's sporties? Who knows... Aside from the clone looks the VTR spec wise seems like a great little bike and worth considering. Price ($Aust) 2007 How much does the Honda VTR250 cost ? |

XR250 Specifications in Brief
Engine: 1 cylinder 4-stroke Comment This model has been around for years and despite being so I've never ridden one. So what I say? Well, similar to what I had to say for the other trail/off road bikes in this class. See the Kawaski page for more comments. Summed up it seems like a decent bike it looks just as good as the brands.
