After seeing the 2017 Honda CBR250RR in the flesh at the GIIAS show in Jakarta in August, we were told by Boon Siew Honda, official Honda distributor for Malaysia, that there were no concrete plans to bring this quarter-litre class sportsbike in for the local market.
It was something of a surprise to see the much-awaited CBR250R replacement sitting on the stand at the Boon Siew Honda booth at the Malaysian MotoGP at Sepang on the weekend. Coming in jazzy red/white/black colour scheme, the CBR250RR on display is identical to the stealth matte-black unit we saw during the show in Jakarta.
We now know the 2017 Honda CBR250RR will put out 36 hp at 12,500 rpm and 22.5 Nm torque at 10,500 rpm, using an eight-valve, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine displacing 249.7 cc. Using ride-by-wire, with riding modes, the CBR250RR comes in both ABS and non-ABS versions.
No firm pricing has been released for the 2017 Honda CBR250RR, but we were informed by a PT Astra spokesperson during the GIIAS show that the official Indonesian price for the CBR250RR is between 63 to 68 million Indonesian rupiah (RM19.5k to RM21k) for the non-ABS version, while the ABS model will go for between 69 to 74 million rupiah (between RM21k to RM22k).
Demand from local riders for the 2017 CBR250RR has been quite vocal, based on the posts and Facebook comments we have read. Boon Siew Honda has remained non-committal about whether the CBR250RR will ever make it to Malaysian shores.
What do you think? Is this the 250 cc sportsbike that needs to be brought in to Malaysia? Will it sell in enough quantities to justify it being imported, or even locally assembled? Leave a comment with your thoughts and opinions, below.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
now minyak naik, mat moto also got no money to rempit. All of us now should tanam kangkung and makan dedak as requested by Najib
coincidence..
kalau banyk alasan. takyah beli
i will not buy honda even it is sexy
spare part honda super expensive
after sales sucks even they pose 2 or 3 yrs warranty
spare part availability need to wait very long long time and need to beg
i am talking about new models
i will not buy honda
i hope suzuki will bring in gxr250 i will buy suzuki way of life
no offend…
suzuki has been closed shop & moved out…
that’s local assembly product like kapchai and scooter
for cbu unit they will bring since current cbu unit price not bad compared to other big 3
all bikes are the same
So?
X yah lah bli Honda doh kan snag
noob
Bro cbr250rr better then gxr250
Hell yeah….I want 1 already
Sudah saatnya orang atasan boon siew honda malaysia tukar ngan orang yang perduli dengan permintaan market. Mana produk yg rakyat mahukan. CB/R 150 pun x masuk malaysia. Nasib laaa
This CBR250RR side picture with the double exhaust makes it standout like a Middle-weight bike.
It is not easy to tell a 250cc from a 600cc bike(new bike). The main difference between a 250 & a 600 is the double disk brake, the stickers & back Tyre that go with it.
If you remove the stickers, chances are not many can tell unless you are a Biker. This will be a good starter for anyone who want to feel/ride a ‘Big’ bike without the price & performance.
Buying a Honda bike will make your riding more enjoyable bcos it comes with the renown Honda reliability.
Geng 1 hati official bike??
will it have enough quantity and demand to justify the sales?
well it will be an easier question to answer if we know the price. No doubt is a sexy bike, and if it is selling at below Rm17,990 with ABS, I guarantee they can’t make enough of it.
If honda wants to market their bikes aggresively in mesia, honda has to do it on it their own and bypass boon siew. They have done that with kah motors. If not, forget about newer models, mesians.
Hot damn! That is one super sexy bike. Honestly, it looks (in pictures anyway) bigger than 250cc.
Depending on the price. My current bike is too new to upgrade anyway
Better be local assemble. If import, the price will be to demn high.
agreed! if local assembly can lower down the price… ^_^
People will flock to the bike shops to get this bike for sure! This is the best of the Japanese entry level sportbikes, on par with the KTM RC390.
Not see how many people will buy only bring it here, is bring it here to compete with others and let people buy it!!! It’s not pre order, is Honda CBR, if don’t wanna sell it, don’t launch it and don’t create it!!!!
if honda is not bringing this bike, they can forget competing in the quarter litre segment because kawasaki and yamaha will continue to dominate.
if BS doesnt import/assembly n sell it…
i will forget bout BS n turn head to grey importer!!!
Bring it into Malaysia, I would like to get one, pls boon siew Malaysia
The power figures are 38.7 PS @ 12,500 rpm and 23.3 Nm @ 11,000 rpm weighting 165 kg (sans-ABS) and 168 kg (ABS) with the price of 62.9 million IDR/ 20,145 MYR (sans-ABS) and 68.9 million IDR/22,000 MYR (ABS). The red color adds 600 thousand IDR/192 MYR. For your information.
I want one!
Patut masuk sebab memang ramai permintaan. Then rasanya tak perlu untuk kurangkan hp. Kerana ia akan membuatkan ramai rkyt malaysia tidak akan membeli nye. Fikir fikirkan laa boon siew honda
targeted the Honda CBR250RR as my next ride, definitely will buy one so hopefully it will be imported or manufacture in malaysia.
I’ve been waiting for this bike to enter Malaysian market since the concept revealed.. its a pleasure if boon siew going to spread the wing to malaysia
kene masuk malaysia sbb terlalu ramai permintaan. sesiapa yang tak mampu atau terlalu banyak alasan. biarkan diorang. sebab moto ini terlalu banyak permintaan supaya moto cbr ni masuk malaysia. seriously kalau cbr ni masuk. serious aku memang beli

Yes,this new honda cbr 250cc should bring to our Malaysia on 2017…there so many people are waiting for this bike.. itz one of the special design by honda..this bike is going to rock everyones heart..i”m waiting for this
Ive seen so many 250 bikes this year. But this model is an eye catching compare to others. If this model is not coming to malaysia. Atleast bring us back the c70 model. If that is what you think suites the economy.
Absolutely boon siew need to brought cbr250rr to Malaysia because so many people who are waiting for this bike to arrive in Malaysia. It’s easier to ride a bike than to drive a car nowadays and the number of bikers in Malaysia are increase day by day.
bila masuk malaysia ni?
I can’t wait too.. msg honda, no reply
Please please bring and sell in Malaysia.. This is definitely the best bike in its class!
Please bring this to malaysian market boon siew honda.

Any update when will available in Malaysia?? Very tempted to get this/\
Come on BS Honda…Bring it in…Don’T be a coward…go head to head with Yamaha & Kawa..assemble it locally…people are waiting for a decent 250 other than Kawa & Yama. I’m sick of seing the Yama dominating Malaysian Market. Don’t get me wrong, I like the bigger Yama’s…but too many bikes below 250 from them already…
bawak masuk la BS Honda…sure boleh jual…tgk RS150 korang…mcm pisang goreng panaskan jual…

this cbr250rr should launch in Malaysia..need to brought this and i really like it..it was so sexy to me and i want it..
PLEASE BOON SIEW HONDA MALAYSIA!!!! I WANT THIS BIKE!!!
To be honest, on my opinion..
It is time for a replacement..
Unless Boon Sure Honda comes clear with us that they want to clear their stocks of CBR 250R for now.. (Which I think will never happen as there’s better options with the Kawasaki & Yamaha if to be compared price and performance..)
Buy they should really bring it in as I know they will be a lot of people that will buy..
Especially myself..
Awesome bike for beginners that want to feel super bike , as a biker we can feel that 250rr is pretty comfortable ride and some more the design very fantastic. For sure Wil be a lot people will buy this 250rr. Bring in to Malaysia please
If i were to import this bike from Indonesia, how much would it cost hmmm???
Hmmm i hope the price market may be lower =’
x masuk malaysia sbb nk bagi laluan kepada modenas pulsar.
Betul, Lagipun ada banyak motor tempatan mengeluarkan racer bike sekitar suku litre. Boon Siew Honda takkan bawak masuk olihkerana stock cbr250r masih banyak. Honda Jepun perlu tukar distributor di negara ini.
Bring in to malaysia ASAP im very horny with this cbr250rr, im begging please
Please bring to malaysia ! Its gonna beat the r25
Mana x nye harga cbr250cc cecah 30k x patut btul cukai tinggi nk mmpos..kalau d indonesia baru 21k
I wanna buy this! I love the sexy of CBR250RR
