The Honda CB250 Nighthawk features a 234cc air-cooled parallel twin engine. First manufactured in 1982, the motorcycle has changed little except for color availability. The CB250 engine generates 15 kW(20 hp) and 19.6 Nm(14.5 ft-lb) of torque, achieves a top speed of around 130 km/h (80 mph), and employs drum brakes and spoked wheels at front and rear (though front disk brakes and alloy wheels are provided in Australia, U.K. and Japan). The Nighthawk CB250 is essentially a light, maneuverable, inexpensive, economical, and easy to maintain bike. With a dry weight of 130 kg, the bike can achieve 3.4-4.0 L/100km (60 to 70 mpg). The Honda Nighthawk often is used at Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) training courses held at community colleges across the U.S.A. Its smaller size and lower seat make it popular for riders of smaller stature. | The Honda CB250 Nighthawk features a 234cc air-cooled parallel twin engine.

The smallest member of the Nighthawk family, the 250 version is a great first bike, as it packs enough punch to be fun and help new riders hone in their skills better. At the same time, it can also replace the big-bore machines for middle-range commuting and provides an exceptional way to navigate the stuck cross-town traffic. | |||
Affordable and easy to maintain, the 2000 Honda Nighthawk 250 comes with a 5-speed transmission which makes both slow rides and highway hauls easy and effortless. And with room for two, it is the perfect getaway for a weekend outing, as well. | |||
