    I had a CBR250RR MC19, (a JDM “grey” import to the U.K.) which I took hillclimbing, and down a drag strip a number of times. It was an interesting experience, despite having a rev limiter at 18500rpm it only really made any usable power above 15500rpm, which meant you spent most of your time shuttling up and down the gearbox like a madman if you were trying to go fast 😂
    You had to re-calibrate your brain to ride it, in/on any other vehicle that kind of thrashing would destroy the engine within seconds, but the ‘ol Honda just took it and took it and came back for more…. One of my friends had a ZXR250RR, which revved higher, and was slightly faster, but that actually did spin a rod bearing and destroy itself.
    Which one would I have? The ZXR seemed to offer the best performance, but to the detriment of reliability. The CBR MC22 you mentioned looks nicer, but actually only made a max of 40bhp but over a wider rev range, so probably more user-friendly, however if I had to choose I think I’d go for the MC19 again and just keep thrashing the bejesus out of it! 😉

    I'm not surprised Honda dumped their extra stock in Australia. It's been many years since I lived there, but when I got my bike license in '88, you were restricted to 250cc or less through your learners and provisional license. Only when you had your full license could you consider legally riding something larger...so there was a builtin market for 250cc bikes already in place...and many learners wreck their first bike, which keeps the market from becoming glutted with second hand 250s.

      @@Fee.1 What an odd comment. It's very easy for a learner to wreck a 250 - same as it is with any bike. All it takes is for someone to pull across in front of them at an intersection - 250s don't stop any better than a litre bike. Or oil on the road, on a rainy day. There's plenty of situations a beginner would have trouble with and could conceivably wreck. It's not always about outright speed, especially for a beginner.

    I've got a Honda MC22 (250 4 cylinder as shown in this vid). It's the earlier one with slightly more HP pre 94 maybe 5hp lol more than the later MC22. Does 20k rpm no problems.
    Forget the RPMs it's the piston speed that counts. Because the stroke is so short the piston speed is still low despite the apparently stratospheric RPM. RPM doesn't really mean that much when the stroke is so short. In addition the piston mass is low so combined with the short stroke the inertial forces are mild. Because the forces are so low even though they rev to 18,000RPM+, these engines show the effects of short stroke by being long lived as well. Mine has 60,000kms on the original engine and it is completely fine.

    Both of my eldest sons owned the same MC22 at different times, a couple of years ago in Australia.
    It was amazingly reliable even with 130,000km on it and awesome to ride listening to the little engine howl away.
    Crazy to think about cruising along at 10,000rpm and it's not even making good power yet 🙂

    I had an '89 Yamaha FZR250R Exup about 25 years ago. My initial mechanical sympathy was soon overridden when I found it had no meaningful power below 10,000 rpm. Amazing technology when you consider how reliable they are with the revs involved. Great fun at non licence threatening speeds. I fitted a race can to the exhaust & it sounded insane at 18,000 rpm plus.

      My 92 FZR250R was a lovely little machine. Always wished it had just had a smidge more power though.. a few more horses extra, or a lighter slightly more race ready chassis would have made these things truly amazing. There is a joy to be had playing the gearbox and "getting it right" through a set of Twisties, and scraping round the outside of bigger bikes is always magic.. I just always wished it would lift the front wheel that bit easier than having to time a clutch dump over a small crest. 120 would be a fine top speed too. I guess if they made more like 50bhp instead of 45, had a slightly fatter rear wheel, and weighed a few pounds less... I would have kept mine outright..

    In every era, anywhere in this planet, old politicians always try to make the youngsters life less and less fun and leaves the generation in between to figuring out ways to skip past all that, because they are closer to the youth and they just *knows*.
    I still wish someone stand up with an inline 2 for today's 125/150cc class. Just to get any bit closer to 125 2stroke class of the good old days. Nerf it only with ECU map just to make it as easy fix for the youth to unleash it.
    ZX25R power to weight ratio is terrible, btw. Forget forged aluminum frames of the old, they're basically enforced steel in trellis frame. Which is a far cry of the old ZX250 of the 90s was.
    Sure, we have improvements in manufacturing which resulting the engine being better built. But all that progress is pointless if they don't go all the way making the best bike possible with current available tech like they did with MC28 of an NSR250.
    Sales numbers may be low, if they actually went with it, but that was the whole point of sports bike. We never expect them to be cheap.
    Did you know the CBR250R was a 10k of a bike? Add inflation, and you could get 4 basic ZX25R with that same amount of money. Yet people still bought it. By this point of view, the new CBR250RR i2 almost seems like an insult to the legacy.
    At this point, I'm trying my best to take care my old NSR 150 SP, even though I barely ever use it. Just so my baby son could, later on. Since they don't make them like these anymore.

    Had a go on a CBR 250 was dead below 10 000rpm and fell on its face after about 18 000 but will go to 20 000 witch was impressive rpm but that was about it for me loads of noise with not so impressive performance

      Have you ridden bigger bikes? Point was, if you had only just gotten off your learner bike, these still provided a good thrill and bags of learning potential. Or if you were restricted to these for whatever reason, it was the best you could make do with.
