The Honda CBR250RR Purple is a 249cc parallel-twin sport bike in a deep candy purple with gold wheels and gold forks: the same sharp CBR250RR chassis, ABS and throttle-by-wire as our other CBRs, in the colour that gets noticed at every stop.

Light, precise and eager to turn: the CBR250RR feels like a proper supersport scaled down, with a sporty riding position, strong ABS brakes and an engine that likes to rev. Ride modes and throttle-by-wire keep it smooth in town; on the coast road and the climbs to Bedugul it comes alive.

For riders with some manual-gearbox experience who want a real sport bike that is still manageable in Bali traffic, and who want it to look special in the photos. Not the bike for a first ride on a clutch or for long days two-up.

Two helmets and a phone holder are included, with free delivery within 20 km. Optional insurance, a new helmet, an action camera and moto armour can be added to your request.

The paint is custom, so we look over the bodywork together at handover and at return. Sport-bike fuel rules apply: Pertamax 92 minimum, never Pertalite.
