Released back in 2016 for the Indonesia and Japan markets, the Honda CBR250RR has been lusted after by many Malaysian riders. It appears that some things come better late than never as paultan.org was informed by an unnamed source in Malaysian distributors Boon Siew the CBR250RR might be in Malaysia by late 2020.
As Honda’s current offering in the quarter-litre sports class is the very long in the tooth CBR250R, it is perhaps time for a major model update. However, we were informed by Boon Siew Honda the primary reason the CBR250RR is not brought in is because of Euro conformance – Malaysia follows the Euro standard closely for emissions – and price, which, compared against its local market competition, would be somewhat prohibitive.
All is not lost as we were reliably informed steps are being taken by the boys in Batu Kawan to bring in the CBR2500RR as a limited release model intended for the enthusiast. No firm mention on pricing, but expect to pay a premium over what is considered the norm for the 250 cc sports bike class here.
Boon Siew Honda recognises that Malaysian riders will probably raise a hue and cry over what the possible sales price will be, but for those who had earlier commented on paultan.org articles on the CBR250RR about buying it, now is the time to start saving the pennies. For Malaysia, the CBR250RR’s main competition is the very popular Yamaha YZF-R25, priced at RM19,998 but lacks the CBR250RR’s ABS and traction control package.
The CBR250RR in its first generation guise comes with an eight-valve, parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine displacing 249.7 cc. Power from Honda’s quarter-litre twin is claimed to be 36 hp at 12,500 rpm and 22.5 Nm torque at 10,500 rpm, though there have been reports this has been bumped up to 41 hp for the second generation CBR250RR.

Gotta be cheaper then Yamaha YZF-R25 at RM19,998 …. Honda CBR250RR merecikk habess
Habislah proton kena smoke bike!
4 years waiting to come…Outdated sudah bossku…
model dah basi. Forget it! better wait for ZX-25R
ZX25R kompen mahal boss tp xbeza mane kowt ngan cbr250 ni klau masuk malaysia. Tp tulaa lambat sgt masuk org dh tawar hati n beralih ke ZX25R..
30k je dlm indon, wait lah for it to come here. The best 250cc to exist so far.
Bajaj Pulsar NS200 will be replaced by an 250cc model in India in February. As Modenas rebadges the NS200, there is more competition to come in the 250cc class thix year.
they better be quick before the new ZX-25R arrive. the price I believe should be close.
doubt so Kawa will sell their 4 cyl bike at a friendler price than Honda 2 cyl bike. The again Honda plans for the CBR to be like a limited run so it wont comes cheap too.
Already in Malaysia since last year but used for track racing by two local teams
Every year they keep saying the same thing since 2017
Aprilia RS600 is announced coming end of the year!
Honda CBR250RR is history already, who wanna buy old product.
Habis lah Honda, becoz selling outdated bike. Better buy gaya-gaya Yamaha. Worth every cents.
Masuk Tak?
Buying a bike model that’s half a decade old. Better don’t bring in. Such a disgrace! I’ll rather get the new Kawasaki 250 with 4 cylinders.
model dah basi dan xlaku baru terhegeh-hegeh bawa masuk…
RM30k – RM35k. For sure.
Typical Boon Siew fishing for sohai. Limited release konon. They have no sincerity in terms of meeting the Honda fans demands… giving us old products at a high price. About time we have someone else carrying the Honda brand. I don’t want another new ex5 colour scheme.
Why mess around with an anemic 250 which costs the earth when you get a bigger capacity bike with vastly more power and more fun for a bit more money?
Super excited!!!
Boon Siew is a rich company, he only do what he like to do, business, he don’t care, after sale services is zero rated, the parts mark up by times if you compare the price with Sawadi planet.
What about hinda sh-300i scooters assembled in vietnam? Can bring that is also? Its the best selling scooter in europe.
Obviously the price is not going to be friendly. I can imagine with a bit more, I could get a slightly overpriced CBR650R… …
To,
Pengurusan HONDA MOTOR Japan cadangan saya pisahkan atau keluarkan dari Boon Siew mungkin buka cawangan baru HONDA di Malaysia baru ada competition persaingan terlalu banyak demand dari Boon Siew Malaysia
Aku dah start menabung dah woii.. jgn x masuk malaysia plak.. n make sure masuk yg terbaru yg tambah 3HP tu
When come to malaysia
