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.

All four of the major Japanese | All four of the major Japanese [[Motorcycle]] manufacturers produced a high-revving, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke [[Motorcycle]] capable of producing 45 hp (34 kW). They are the Honda CBR250, [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries|Kawasaki]] ZXR250, [[Suzuki]] GSX-R250 and the [[Yamaha Motor Company Ltd.|Yamaha]] FZR250. | ||
