HONDA CR250R (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2003, the Japanese motorcycle maker released the Honda CR250R, a dirt bike with the same package as the previous one, packing the same specifications without any changes whatsoever.

The latest revision occurred in 2002, when the bike received a completely new engine and a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) added to the carburetor, powered by a new stator.

The Honda CR250R was a racing dirt bike. It was introduced as a prototype in 1971, and in late 1972, Honda started producing the 1973 model year. The bike was manufactured for nearly 37 years, from 1973 until 2007.

In the performance department, the 2002 Honda CR250R had installed a 249cc two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine at its core, delivering an output power of 59 hp at 8,500 rpm and 51 Nm (38 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.

The riding characteristics were set by a 47 mm cartridge-type, inverted, adjustable Showa telescopic fork on the front with 315 mm of travel and a Pro-Link adjustable shock on the rear with 320 mm wheel travel.

Two 240 mm brake discs, one front and one rear, achieved the braking performance, while the front one was engaged by a dual-piston caliper, offering optimum braking power.

As for the visual department, the motorcycle packed standard fittings, like wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires, a dual-sided swingarm, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted high on the right-hand side, a single seat, and a high-mounted front fender.
