Despite Honda claims of the engine revving to 18,500 in the [[manual]], the reality is that the ignition cuts out at around 17,230 rpm, and the ignition map is retarded around the powerful revs (14,000 to 16,000 rpm) to limit the [[horsepower]] to Japanese law. These bikes were only ever sold new in Japan, and later the CBR250RR(R) was sold new in Australia. They however can be found in almost any country of the world, and in a number is the most powerful [[Four-stroke cycle|4-stroke]] bike a learner is allowed to ride, and hence their popularity. Riding in 6th gear at 100 km/h (60 mph) the engine revs at around 9,000 rpm. Despite the high revs, the bike requires little maintenance, and should easily last 100,000 km with regular oil changes (over 1/2 a billion revolutions!). | Despite Honda claims of the engine revving to 18,500 in the [[manual]], the reality is that the ignition cuts out at around 17,230 rpm, and the ignition map is retarded around the powerful revs (14,000 to 16,000 rpm) to limit the [[horsepower]] to Japanese law.
