While Malaysian riders wait with bated breath for any news of the CBR250RR sportsbike, Boon Siew Honda has announced the release of the 2017 Honda CBR250R. Pricing for this updated quarter-litre full-fairing sportsbike starts at RM21,940 and goes up to RM22,258.
Powered by a 249.6 cc, liquid-cooled DOHC single-cylinder power plant, the CBR250R has a claimed power output of 27 hp at 8,500 rpm and 23.1 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. Power gets to the ground via a six-speed gearbox, with final drive by chain.
The instrument cluster for the CBR250R features an LCD display at the bottom, showing speed, fuel, coolant temperature and odometer, while the tachometer is an analogue unit. Fuel is carried in a 13-litre tank, while weight is claimed by Boon Siew Honda to be 161 kg.
New colours for 2017 for the Honda CBR250R are Black, Millennium Red and Lemon Ice Yellow. Pricing for the CBR250R in Black is RM21,940, while the Millennium Red and Lemon Ice Yellow versions go for RM22,258, with all prices including GST, but excluding road tax, insurance and registration.
Availability for the Honda CBR250R in authorised Boon Siew Honda dealers begins tomorrow, with a two year or 20,000 km warranty. In the meantime, inquiring minds want to know, will the Honda CBR250RR ever make it to Malaysian shores, with ABS and at a reasonable price?

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
what we want is 250RR & not this junk. it’s 2017 and ABS is nowhere to be seen. bring in 250RR with ABS la.
Honda know Ringgit already jatuh so much so Malaysians cannot afford to buy. So they concentrate on other markets
Honda knows pipu here dun do work, only bash 24/7 and rides 2nd hand EX5. Deswai skip this market for those more hardworking & less lazy & less bashing 24/7
U are a gud example
But i drive E keras.
Is the 250rr a twin cylinder water cooled engine? This single cylinder engines might have sufficient power but they just sound ordinary though… i prefer the sound of a twin cylinder engine… jgn kecam saya.. hehe
It’s a single, a thumper. Should sound like a big ex5
cepatlah bawa cbr250rr
If thailand, Indonesia and philipines can get 250RR why not malaysia?? honda japan better give the dealership to other company la…
Ini bukan sebab boon siew tapi goverment. Direct import dari indonesia sangat mahal (TAX). Buat masa ni cuma indonesia pasang motor ni.
Under AFTA Treaty, maksimum import tax 5% sahaja… Excise Duty yg tinggi + GST..
BSH motors r still locally assembled, i think
BSH yang tentukan apa spec mau bawak sini. Lu tengok Honda cars di MY lebih spec dari ASEAN tu. Kenapa ye? Tak bayar tax ke?
Yang rajin bos membaca. Ini disuarakan sendiri oleh astra motor honda indonesia. TAX akan menyebabkan harga tak jauh dari CBR500R yg diimport dari thailand. Lama dah Boon Siew mohon dengan honda japan untuk bwk masuk model ni. Ikut jalan lain tapi masih buntu.
Ya.. dan si john ni pula mengatakan xmasuk market malaysia sebab org malaysia malas2 kerja,xde duit dan sebagainya. John ko citizen mana ? Dari dialek,antara malaysia atau singapore.. kalau singapore,u punya tax lagi giler2. Dan warganegara sana pun bkn rajin2 sgt. Foreign worker pun lg byk drpd malaysia drpd segi peratusan populasi,dh lah negara kecil. Ckp sgt2 lah besar.. kalau u rakyat malaysia,yg malas tu termasuk lah kamu sekali. Complain saja lebih. Tin kosong.. hahaha
What? Instead of bringing in CBR250RR, they gave us this? Seriously, this must be a joke!
Stupid distributor just like usual. Bring in CBR250RR to Malaysia.
i really wonder if honda malaysia’s marketing team actually own a bike or not…
Not Honda MY, its by Boon Siew Honda.
all kaki tukul la..dunno how to ride hahaha
Nobody wants this……don’t play with us anymore, no need to do market research also know what is riders actually waiting for!!!! The 250RR!
I guess this is only their marketing strategy . They give us this model first with high price and then they will bring the cbr250RR and price it much higher for more profit. So greedy…
Exactly!!!
yup agreed..if this lousy cbr already 2+K how much they want to sell RR version? 30 to 35K??? gilerrr better buy secondhand proper superbike…
Knowing Malaysia market, ppl are easily conned with gimmicks like plastic trims, body colour, sticker, etc….
All show, but no go…..
Habiskan stok bro.. sebelum masuk model baru..
How I wish CBR500r has the same design as CBR250rr, this one… I’ll pass…
First you dont listen to the market and bring us this junk instead of the RR.
Then, you completely screw up the price by trying to sell us this single cylinder old tech for rm23k. Did you even do a simple research and see how much the Kawa SL is selling?
Just calling it 2017 or 2020 version won’t help.
I hope Honda appoints another distributor and just leaves the ex5 Boon Siew to sell.
In thailand, they are selling cbr150 and also cbr300r. The cbr300r price after conversion to ringgit is around rm18k. Convert to our plummeting rm but still cheaper.
I don’t understand why ours is so expensive. There’s nothing sportbike or race ish about this cbr250r. It’s just a commuter/light touring bike in my opinion.
Well perhaps the guv wants to eat a lot of tax. That’s why.
Maybe that’s why I see a lot of ninja250sl and z250sl on the road.
Benelli 302R is good too!!!
waited for so long and now i’ll go for benelli 302r instead of this shitty”r”
Really??
It will be RM302 when you decide to sell it….
still much more better than this shit WeW
i will still go for Yamaha yzf 250 or kawasaki 250 rather than this. unless they bring in the 250RR.
Hurmmmmmm…Aku sanggup hold dari beli Yamaha R25 sebab nak tunggu CBR250RR masuk Malaysia..setahun aku tunggu nie..BSH lambat betul la buat kerja..adoiiiiiiiii
Gosh, selling an old junk for 20+ k.. Not worth at all.
Better for for Yammy or equally priced Kawa.
Orang dah taknk cbr 250 lama. Orang nak cbr 250rr. Harga memang mahal sebab ia mempunyai fork yAng berkualiti (SHOWA) dan ia mempunyai 3 riding mode. Memang lah harga nya agak mahal. Pikir ee
I have waited CBR250RR for so long, then I heard about this new CBR250R, still figure out want to wait or just buy this first. What are the differences between this new CBR250R with the old one? Someone can please share with me?
Why you not import from indonesia ?
Why never bring in CB250F or CB300F ,…there are senior citizens who would love smothing more afordable.. and easy to ride
why not belt drive for the CB250F and CB300F… we cannot be stooping every 300 km to oil the chain..
honda Malaysia has gone with the wind. Backwards and outdated
rasengannnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1988 CBR250R has 40HP, 2017 27HP?????
1998 4 cylinder…2017 single cylinder
Indo pnya lagi cun..yg msia pnya hodoh
