Honda CBR 250R First Ride

It’s easy to mistake the faired-in CBR250R for a larger capacity motorcycle, with styling that resembles Honda’s own VFR1200F.

Neat attention to detail is apparent in the attractive steering head, as well as clip-on handlebars. We liked the 250R’s blue backlit LCD instruments arranged in an easy to decipher layout. An analogue tachometer dominates this bay and you also get a large digital speedometer, in addition to odometer, trip-counter, clock, fuel and temperature readouts.. Switchgear is comprehensive, with smart buffed alloy levers and nice palm grips...

Design & Engineering The X1 is instantly recognisable as a BMW, and a modern one at that. Using design cues first seen on newer cars like the 7- and 5-series, the X1’s skinning is fluid and cohesive rather than sharp. However, traditional BMW details remain. The double barrel headlamps, the large ‘kidney’ grille, the ‘Hofmeister kink’ in the shoulder line and the big squared off-wheel arches; they’re all there. But this ‘youngest’ of BMWs has other interesting bits as well. The long bonnet is heavily sculpted, the wide front splitter gives the X1 a square jawed look and the design of the rear is very fluid. But while it’s long and wide, the X1 is not tall or chunky enough to be a convincing SUV. This is especially true in...
