No such thing as a 2015 cbr 250

[sukhumvitneon]

listing I'm looking at must be wrong or fake then

[Happy Grumpy]

Nay.

 

Used Ninja 250 or 300 would be better.

 

I'ts half an engine, and opposed to one quarter.

It may be an older 250 that was registered "new" when it was a year or two old.  By 2015 the 250 engine was dropped due to issues , and a re-hash of it was called a 300.  Really closer to a 275 , this engine had problems too. .The Kawasaki is twice the bike. Go for that one , unless your desperate.

The 250 is a great bike,I had one for 5 years and went on many long trips, how much are you looking at.

The Honda 300 single in F or CBR massively outsells the Kawasakis. They don't have the same level of performance, but are still fun bikes with a fair bit of "go" and are much cheaper than the Kawasakis. They also benefit from Honda reliability and longevity, as did the 250s before them.

Early 300s had an engine bearing quality issue and were recalled and repaired under warranty. If you buy one of those just make sure it did the recall - otherwise good to go.  :-)

I had one of the first run of cbr250's and there was nothing wrong with it..... Except slow

Nothing had broke @ 25,000km when I sold it
