2012 CBR250R Review (Not for Beginners?)

CBR 250R review! My apologies for not having more footage, but I definitely wanted to give my opinion on this bike! Also wanted to explain why I think it is a bit unfair only labeling this bike as a "beginner bike." Definitely think the CBR250R is worth looking into if you want a small inexpensive bike!
NOTE: I meant to say around 23HP, not 13HP. Thank you!

23 HP, not 13!

[@lowellgeddes8996]

After having several 1000 bikes, after turning 72 , years young I decided to scale down to a lighter bike...The CBR 250 R was an ideal choice....

[@RobsAutos]

Small bikes are so much fun!

[@lowellgeddes8996]

all bikes have tradeoffs....weight being one of them,,,but Im enjoying mine as Im not doing much hwy riding...50 mph mostly....

[@RobsAutos]

@@lowellgeddes8996 agreed. For me, the fun of a motorcycle is being agile and having maneuverability. So light weight bikes are my favorite

[@Proxz]

Hey, I'm thinking about getting a 2011 250r as my first bike, would you recommend it?

[@lowellgeddes8996]

for sure

[@DionisisSen]

i have the cbr250 with few cheap mods (exhaust / lightweight battery / DNA filter)and few cosmetics/aerodymic i can reach 167km/h 103ml/h top speed (i dont want more) ,never fall in 8 years because turn and brake perfect.i have 180k km and still going as new .

[@randomjoao]

"I don't have to worry about breaking the speed limit"
You got me laughing xD

[@CBlyat]

Got the same bike, with the same mileage, for the same price. I had a gs500e i rode for about 3 years, and its been about 6 years since I've gotten back on any bike. This one looked so nice, and i don't remember ever using the top end of my 500. I've had a kid since then, i figured the smaller engine would limit my ability to so stupid sh!t.

[@ryanvtec3885]

its not stupid to use the hp you paid for

[@jayphelps415]

Always good to see how someone rides in places u will be. Alot of my friends live in ssf and I drive down Bayshore alot so this video is perfect

[@tombartram7384]

I've got one! I repostioned the mirrors on the bars. Vast improvement. I had to make cut outs in the screen with a hot blade in order to turn the handlebars.

[@BreezyRider66]

Importantly it looks the part enough that car drivers mostly assume you're gonna be much faster than them, so they don't try it on. I've had much bigger & faster bikes but this is so low hassle, fun using all the performance and the first bike I've had for a long time that I can easily flat foot. It scratches an itch for me for sure...

[@jayphelps415]

I been trying to find videos of 250s in the bay area, lost hope clicked this video and was like wtf he's in South city 🤣

[@RobsAutos]

I would go up and down Guadalupe Canyon Parkway so many times practicing my turns lol

[@sdanville]

13 horse Power statement conflicts with the specifications elsewhere.
I agree the beginner bike term is overused, how about light, easy, fun, agile, mild, reliable, environment friendly, flickable, ultimate motorcycle for all levels of talent.

[@RobsAutos]

Supposed to be 23 🙃

[@macktruck300]

I'm 5'1 am I to short for this bike

[@danielg6589]

I liked the part when you changed lanes. 2 potatoes out of 7 carrots, very good motorcycling

[@yusrialias5830]

Maybe Different between single r and rr . 7:28 . radical. Rr most like ready to race... .

[@stanza77]

How often did you take it in a freeway? How well did not cruise at 75mph?

[@RobsAutos]

It wasn't too bad at 75MPH, I was on the freeway a bit on it.

[@Phantomoscar]

Whats a good price for a 2012 ?

[@prestonchappell4182]

2500

[@richardrichard5409]

13bhp....? They a tad under 24 brake, and 15ft lb torque.👍

[@tanujtripathi6064]

Official is 26BHP

[@RedCapedDragon]

im looking for some frame sliders for the same model, just abs and 1 year older. What brand are yours?

[@RobsAutos]

Shogun frame sliders

[@LakshmiVenkatesheceshift]

I like this🔥 bike🚴🚴
And your review is nice👍

[@infinity8x3]

2022 gas prices. I'm rocking this bike.
Ha, I park mine right next to a mustang GT too lol.

[@RobsAutos]

For reals!

[@edwardabasta6406]

Hi Rob, Just bought one. What RPM do you normally ride?

[@RobsAutos]

Oh man, it has been a while. I do remember usually keeping it a bit higher in the RPM's due to the motor really needing to squeeze out the power

[@paulstevenconyngham7880]

I ride mine around the 5-7k mark. You really feel the power kick in above 6k. You paid for the whole tachometer. Might as well use it.

[@p.istaker8862]

It needs another "R" on the end

[@JCthe1st]

2:05 red integra on the right

[@ObamaSaidHeLikesMe]

Looked gay. Nothing special about it

[@Phantomoscar]

How much did you sell yours for?

[@RobsAutos]

Back in 2019 before this inflated market I bought it for like $1,800 and sold it for $2K. Had around 20K miles if I remember correctly

[@Phantomoscar]

@@RobsAutos damn i passed up on a good offer then. Someone was selling me a 2012 250cc with 12k miles for 1500 but i didn’t pull the trigger

[@ricardobecerra2072]

So question hope you answer me 2012 with 48500 miles on for 2k it’s a lot? Or not?

[@BudBauer]

i would buy this for my little sis, if she makes a license

[@gotenkos4860]

So is it for beginners or not? LOL

[@RobsAutos]

Lol. I’d say yes but it shouldn’t be limited as “only for beginners”

[@gotenkos4860]

@@RobsAutos thank you!

[@Theghostcloset]

You love the bike so much that you sold it! That's not encouraging at all

[@RobsAutos]

I sell everything lol.

[@Theghostcloset]

@@RobsAutos bahahahaha well I will say that's fair enough!
