Honda CB250F

The Honda CB250F is a standard motorcycle which were launched in 1996. This is also known as the Honda Hornet 250 and was available originally only in Japan as a domestic model, but was made available to the rest of the world as a grey import. Powered by a de-tuned version of the inline-4 engine from the CBR250, it produces around 40 PS at 14,000 rpm to its redline of 16,000 rpm This tuning allows the engine to provide more useful low-end power. The bike features a 6-speed transmission and a 16-litre fuel tank and in later model dual-tone colored exterior. This bike is said to emit a peculiar high-pitched whine due to the gear driven camshafts used inside the engine.
