@@MrKkdkk I prefer gear driven cams given how trouble free they've been on the MC22. When engineered properly they are set-and-forget, no need to open the motor for chain replacement. I can't compare except what I've seen on paper. Both have the same horsepower. The MC22 is much lighter at 158kg vs zx25r 180kg. Twin brake discs on MC22 vs single on the Ninja. ZX25r quickshifter would be nice to have, and the foot peg height is probably higher.
I miss my old 4 cylinder CBR250 I used to rev it like this every day and it never broke down. Mine was the MC17 blue, white, red with twin discs and red wheels 1987 model, red line was 18,000 rpm. it did 90 kph (55 mph) in first gear and topped out at 180 kph (110mph) None of the new CBR's have the screaming character of the old bikes. Bring back 4 cylinder 250's!
The latest CBR250RR is well made. The design is amazing. The technology and features is almost like big bikes. But the only problem it is 2 cylinders. Honda missed a big chance to dominate the world in 250cc with their screaming inline 4 which was in their older CBR250RR( the same bike model in the video). Even with 2 cylimders,they still beat the latest Ninja ZX25R eventhuough the ninja has 4 cylinders. Just imagine if they made the CBR with 4 cylinders,seriously,there will be no rival. I was dissapointed a bit but still bought it and now im happy. No complains whatsoever. Every single thing is very good but damn i miss that inline 4 screaming sound man. Its unbeatable. Im talking strictly about 250cc only. Please dont bring in bigger displacement bikes in this conversation because i didnt talk about them and it will not be fair for 250cc.
Fred LD The 2 stroke 250's NSR/RGV/TZR redlined at 11000-12000rpm. The KR1 a little lower. I raced an NSR and an Aprilia RS (RGV engine). That little bike looks like a lot of fun, squealing along at those revs.
this is a perfect example of how a small 250 bike can be better than the bigger cc bikes. All the old riders ive spoken to have insisted that a 250 will be able to keep up with bigger bikes in the twisties. This is a perfect example of that. good job mate
In my country, new single cylinder CBRs have no sales at all. People get into all sorts of trouble doing gray imports of old CBR250RR s. This clearly shows why. Great Vid. Many Thanks!!!
I live in the U.S. and have been aware of the CBR400RR as a "not for you" model for many many years. I was completely unaware of the 250RR until just a few weeks ago. What a jewel. These are legal to import to U.S. now due to their age. ...how to talk the wife into 3rd machine...?
+AâŠîm Sakharkar ; Yes is true, my CBR250R beside this machine is just almost a toy; and about pilot, sometimes i used to ask to myself, how is possible that pilots like this one don´t run in the professional categories!
Loved this ! that CBR250RR revs like a mofo! respect to the rider too, nice work. it takes top skill to compensate for smaller cc and still manage to cane the bigger bikes !
do realize it's much easier to corner on a small and nimble bike, right? Not only much easier, but SO MUCH EASIER. a 250 could beat any 600 on a very twisty mountain road. Not just could, but SHOULD, with any semi competitive rider....
TheSpyChecker Although if you over brake for corners, it's harder to regain speed unlike riding a more powerful bike, I wouldn't say it's easy, I'd say it's different, although it's a light bike, it's unsprung weight isn't to good add lack of power and that's a bad combination....My RR is basically stock and I find myself going up against much bigger bikes often, I can only stay ahead in the technical sections but when the road straightens up they just reel me in like I was stood still.
Oh no doubt. The twistier the road is, the easier it will be to go quicker on a 250. But get a skilled rider on a 600 and you'll stand no chance. I won't even mention straights, as obviously more torque = faster.
TheSpyChecker That's why riding an underpowered bike makes you a better rider, you have no room for error hahaha....That being said, I will be getting a CBR1000RR when I'm on my full license hahaha
Thanks. I'm using Michelin pilotpowers road sport (single compound). Found them to be excellent. Suspension was bone stock until recently. I'm 68 kg so it suits me quite well. However the front did start to bottom in a few spots under heavy braking so have increased the fork oil level just recently. I haven’t really had the opportunity to test the new setup fully though.
That 19k redline gives me a boner. Reminds me of the ZX2R. That guy on the R6 wasn't a slouch, either. Very good riding here! Are the R6's there limited due to license restrictions there or something? I would have thought he walked harder coming out of the turns.
But it's restricted in Europe, right? Hard to keep track of which countries restrict bikes and which ones don't. Though Aus & NZ did power restrictions? I meant in the straight lines though, the R6 barely seemed to pull away in a straight after the turn (where rider doesn't make much difference). Power seemed a bit low for an R6.
They have a list of learner or LAMS approved motorcycles in New Zealand. Its all measured on power to weight ratio. You cannot buy an 600cc 4 cylinder bike in NZ without a full motorcycle license. You can however ride up to a 650cc bike on a learner license as long as the bike is a twin or single cylinder as they have a low power output. Also, 2 stroke road race type bikes even 250cc are prohibited until you get your full license. The 250 cc fours are quite surprising off the line, I had a CBR250r and my friend had a GSXR-400R, we were even to about 60 km/h then his mid-range power left me for dead. Maybe this R6 rider is not revving his bike hard until 2nd or third? I know R6's are pretty quick, my friend had one when I had an R1.
Gotcha, thanks for the explanation! Here in the US there's no restrictions on any bikes - the result is a lot of people quitting riding after < 6 months when they high side their first 600cc or 1000cc sport bike due to some whisky throttle or similar, lol. Def. possible he's not winding it out all the way, would make sense speed wise.
+MrSlowestD16 the cbr250rr is high revving little thing, not slow The 250rr were restricted after 1993 down to 18000 revs from 19 to 20 000 mine revs right up to 20 000
Mate I want to purchase one of these some day as a second bike to go with my bigger CBR650F. But I’ve never ridden without ABS and that’s a big concern for me, how does one go about this hahahaha 😅
Ignore ABS for track. Unless it's one of the latest, sophisticated systems on some flagship super bikes, it'll slow your lap times down bad. Brake hard. When rear wheel gets floaty you're doing it right (track riding) For street, very few people with ABS have ever braked hard enough to have it activate on the front wheel. I personally don't care about it, but can understand newbies being concerned. The basic ABS systems on many bikes kicks in far too early for my liking. My ninja 400's ABS kicked in dangerously early during hard braking over bumps, sending me wide. I couldn't stand it, so disabled it. I wouldn't recommend a newbie do that though.
@@3storiesUp I misread your comment initially, thought you were saying buying it was worst decision ever, oops haha. Currently my mc22 is in the garage as a second bike. I can't bring myself to part with it. It's been so reliable and I have so much history with it.

what tyres are you using? i've also got a 1991 mc22 in the same colours as yours. ive looked to no avail but would you know if there are carbon fibre rims for them? awesome video the guy on the r6 must be mightily peeved that a 250 was keeping up to him
I was using Michelin pilot road sport at the time of this video. Those were discontinued so I'm now using s21 tires which are a step down in performance, but still pretty good. S22 tires have just been released so I may try them next. I haven't seen any carbon rims, but haven't looked much to be honest.
Hello, Really nice video. I didn't realize this little bike can be so much fun! I am getting one myself as a first bike. They seem to be pretty rare now in Europe. Not sure if it is because no one wants to sell or they are getting too old. Can you recommend something to explicitly look for when buying it - like things that are well known to go bad after some years? Thanks!
Radoslav Stefanov They are great bikes. Nothing particular to look out for. The motors are very solid and no cam chain tensioning to worry about as they use gear driven cams. Check the oil level and go for a ride. If the footpeg and handgrip rubber is very worn it may have gone around the clock - over 100,000 k's.

Te comiste cada curva como los grandes ....perfecto hay que hacerle ver a los que usan mil que no es la moto es el piloto
Very nice riding. That R6 is not bad him/herself. What tyres did you use?
Using Michelin pilotpower road sport - single compound tire. Have found them excellent on the 250 and have been through a few sets to confirm it.
I love my baby blade, heaps of people give me shit for staying on a little bike. Good to see you stick it to the big boys
great riding mate...
if only the newer 250r is that shit
what tyres are you using? i've also got a 1991 mc22 in the same colours as yours. ive looked to no avail but would you know if there are carbon fibre rims for them? awesome video the guy on the r6 must be mightily peeved that a 250 was keeping up to him
I was using Michelin pilot road sport at the time of this video. Those were discontinued so I'm now using s21 tires which are a step down in performance, but still pretty good. S22 tires have just been released so I may try them next. I haven't seen any carbon rims, but haven't looked much to be honest.
@@SportbikerNZ thanks I'll try them out on my next change :-)
that's awesome, love how late you brake and how early you can get on the power. It's not like the guy on the R6 is mucking around either!
that lightweight...high rev end does make a difference againt the "big ones". Great video Cheers
wow nine vid..! is that OEM carb...? i have 2 mc22 and one is FCR28 and KENSO bakudan stage2 kit..
i really love the MC22...!
Just assumed it was his own bike but re-reading he does actually just state that this is an example of what they can do =)
Hello,
Really nice video. I didn't realize this little bike can be so much fun!
I am getting one myself as a first bike. They seem to be pretty rare now in Europe. Not sure if it is because no one wants to sell or they are getting too old.
Can you recommend something to explicitly look for when buying it - like things that are well known to go bad after some years?
Thanks!
Radoslav Stefanov They are great bikes. Nothing particular to look out for. The motors are very solid and no cam chain tensioning to worry about as they use gear driven cams. Check the oil level and go for a ride. If the footpeg and handgrip rubber is very worn it may have gone around the clock - over 100,000 k's.
hi, what is the size of your rear tire thanks
150/60
