Honda could be planning a small CBR250RR for the European market as a bike for new and less experienced licence holders. According to reports the CBR250RR could be brought to Europe next year, after establishing itself as a successful model in its class in Japan.

The hypothesis is that Honda could use the 250cc motor from the CRF cross model in an alluminium chassis, with a few touches to make it more robust for street use. If the plan is to bring such a model to Europe, Honda has more than one option at its disposal, as the smaller V2 from the VTR250 could also fit the bill.
