Model History
| Years | Model | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1986 | CBR250 (FG) and (FG-YA) MC14 |
Twin front disks, single front headlight, bikini fairings. |
| 1987 | CBR250R (H) MC17 |
Twin front disks, still single head light, full fairings. |
| 1988 | CBR250R (J) MC19 |
Single larger front disk, smaller chain, twin head lights, fuel pump. |
| 1989 | CBR250R (K) MC19 |
Essentially identical to the R(J), except now had a speed limiter which was set at 185 km/h. |
| 1990–1991 | CBR250RR (L) MC22 |
A completely redesigned bike that had a new cast/pressed aluminum frame that gave a more aggressive riding position, gull shaped swing arm that was adopted from the NSR250R, higher rising tail, six spoke cast aluminum wheels and dual front 276 mm (10.9 in) floating disk brakes. These changes resulted in a dry weight of 142 kg (310 lb). The only feature that was adopted from the previous model CBR250s was the MC14E engine. This was slightly modified with a crankshaft that had 27.5 mm crankpins, up 0.5 mm from the previous 27 mm size. The engine also used a completely new set of VP carburetors that had smaller throats, reduced from 32 mm to 30.5 mm. These carburetors were fed by a vacuum operated pump for fuel delivery. |
| 1992–1993 | CBR250RR (N) MC22 |
Essentially the same as the RR(L) except for new paint jobs. |
| 1994–1996 | CBR250RR (R) MC22 |
Still very similar to the RR(L/N) but restricted to producing 40 PS (29 kW) due to changes in Japanese law. The restrictions were in the cylinder head, head gasket and ignition unit. Redline reduced to 18,500 rpm (from 19,000 rpm). |
| 1997–1999 | CBR250RR (RII) MC22 |
These are identical to the RR(R), and are leftover bikes that were built in the 1994 to 1996 era, but sold in 1997 and 1998. |

Famous quotes containing the words model and/or history:
“...that absolutely everything beloved and cherished of the bourgeoisie, the conservative, the cowardly, and the impotent—the State, family life, secular art and science—was consciously or unconsciously hostile to the religious idea, to the Church, whose innate tendency and permanent aim was the dissolution of all existing worldly orders, and the reconstitution of society after the model of the ideal, the communistic City of God.”
