[buckets]

So now the new CBR 250 is out who's got one? Been tryin to track one down to have a run and see how they go against my old girl, 20 years old and still goin strong, gotta love honda's.

Different kettle of fish

[Stavtech]

i would love to line them up and see how they go on a top speed run etc

Pointless comparison is pointless

I dont think the new cbr250 will be anywhere near the power of the old cbr, but it would be interesting to see how they go though

WHS. All the old inline 4 screamers will be more fun and faster than the new 250s. New bikes are built for noobs and commuting while the old screamers were built for racing.

Its like the bike equivalent to seeing who's nails are more annoying when dragged down a chalkboard.

New cbr250 -> More "power" that doesn't require changing down 6 gears and feathering the clutch to access. More comfortable riding position. New and shinyish.

Old cbr250 -> Annoying enough that people will slow down and lose races with you just to let you fuck off. Awful front end. Elephant riding a tricycle riding position. Old and crusty.

Why, afraid you'll lose?

Which is why it is fun for us and irritating for everyone else!

Amen!

Only prob is if you slow down then you have to listen to the gawd awfull whine.

Someone take a CBF along! I think I worked out the power/weight was about the same as the new CBR (aka CBF250R) with CBF250 22bhp @ 139kg (power/weight = 0.158) and CBR250R 26bhp @ 162kg (power/weight = 0.160). I could be utterly incorrect though.

Good learners, perfect commuters, I just find it funny that they are dressed up like racing bikes.

no, its the waiting for a ute to come to pick up broken down bikes kinda sux
