Is the Honda CBF250 a good bike to buy?
Getting older so had to find a lighter bike than the CBF500 and there being no real option from anyone in the 350 size had to go for a 250 and the CBF is of the style I like. Brakes fine for the size/power/speed. Handling perfectly ok and fine for 150 mile round trips. Barely adequate but then what do you expect from a 22hp 250 single.

How many miles per gallon does a Honda CBF250 get?
I bought my CBF250 new in March 2006. Since then I’ve covered a little over 26000 miles, at an overall average of 94 miles per gallon. A tankful is usually good for over 300 miles. Although generally regarded as a commuter bike it’s quite feasible to go any distance on it as long as you’re patient.
How much does it cost to service a Honda CBF250?
Honda want £230 for an annual service. That’s theft! do the oil ad air yourselves and get a mechanic to check calipers in the spring. Valve clearances (which is easy on this bike!) are £50-70 privately and need checked every 4-6K. A cover gasket is £8 and shims are a couple each so get some feelers and do it yourselves too!
When did the CBF 250 Ninja come out?
The CBF’s downfall is that it came at a time when 250s here in the UK were very much out of vogue. Mine’s a 2006 model, they started in 2004 and ended in 2008. It is only recently that Kawasaki’s 250 then 300 Ninja has caused enough stir to re-ignite interest in this market segment.
