It is sure to come to us at a high price point, but it will become the easiest way for any Honda lover to get close to a serious track-ready machine.

Popular Japanese bike maker giant Honda came up with the CBR250RR last year globally. Ever since its debut, the bike has been in news for all the right reasons.

Here we list all the details of the sports bike including its expected launch date, price, features and specifications of the bike.
