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.
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.
