Honda has showcased the new CBR250RR based on the Light Weight Super Sports Concept in Indonesia. The company has unveiled the concept at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. The Honda CBR250RR is powered by an all-new 249.7cc parallel twin engine that puts out 38PS of power. While Honda might not bring the CBR250RR in India anytime soon, it is expected to arrive in Japan this year followed by its debut in the Europe and US markets. Get all the details of the new Honda CBR250RR here.

The Honda CBR250RR owes much of its styling to the Light Weight Super Sports Concept. The design uses ultra-aggressive slashes and flat planes to create a very Italian sort of design
This is the red colourway for the Honda CBR250RR. It looks friendlier in this and vastly more menacing in grey. Note cool stacked exhaust shapes
The front view, especially with all the graphics, looks a bit busy on the new Honda CBR250RR
The Honda CBR250RR goes on sale in Indonesia and is only expected to go on sale in Japan this year. More markets next year
The Honda CBR250RR is perhaps the most aggressively styled Honda we have ever seen. Could this be the sort of design that's coming on the new Fireblade due later this year?
The engine is an all-new liquid-cooled, 8-valve parallel twin that produces 38PS at 12,000rpm. Honda says the engine uses packaging ideas from the RC213V to create an engine as wide as a conventional single
The base frame is a steel trellis with a beefy pivot plate and a slinky rear subframe. The engine is a stressed member of the frame
Isn't that cool? The dark blue lighting and the white text and graphics make for a modern, cool instrument cluster. Note the bike is in comfort mode and there is a lap timer function visible
The right switchgear includes the usual light controls plus a switch that looks like it work with a lap timer function
The simple looking instrument panel is all-digital and extremely compact
The rear wheel wears a 140/17-17 tubeless tyre with a 240mm single disc. ABS is optional
Is that carbon fibre? Chances are it is textured plastic, but the Honda CBR250RR is full of lovely details that remind you of European motorcycles
Honda calls its aluminium swingarm a 'gull arm' implying that the right side is pinched to allow the exhaust to be placed closer to the bike for handling as well as cornering clearance
The Honda CBR250RR's sculpted twin exhausts look very cool. The three slashes are details a lot of Aprilias have though
The twin stacked exhaust is probably a detail born out of the Euro-IV requirements. But Honda's CBR250RR has the classiest version of the twin exhaust we have seen yet

The Honda CBR250RR owes much of its styling to the Light Weight Super Sports Concept. The design uses ultra-aggressive slashes and flat planes to create a very Italian sort of design
Note the ABS system's speed pick-up ring on the front rim. ABS, however, is optional. From this angle, it is hard to tell how small the motorcycle really is
Simple swichgear on the left only has the engine kill switch (the head light is always on). Note the etched Throttle-By-Wire text on the unit
Just look at the aggressive panels that are all over the Honda CBR250RR. The tail unit looks stunning and for a small motorcycle, the CBR250RR has some very cool details
The front brake is a 310mm Nissin unit mounted to the 37mm Showa USD fork. The tyre is a tubeless 110/70-17
Showa supplies the front 37mm upside-down fork which is non-adjustable
The Honda CBR250RR gets throttle by wire which allows Honda to offer three riding modes. Traction control is not listed. ABS is optional
Look at those extensions on the top of the tank! Honda's new CBR250RR is so aggressively styled! That is a 14.4-litre tank
