The Honda CB250F is a series of unfaired motorcycles which was launched in 1996. Also known as the Honda 250 Hornet. Powered by a slightly detuned version of the inline 4 cylinder, 4 stroke engine originally found in the Honda CBR250 (Engine code MC14E-XXXX), it produces around 40 PS at 14,000 RPM to its redline of 16,000 RPM.
