Honda CBR250R MC19

I have just recently bought my second MC19- I am in love with them. (2nd one had a genuine 11,000km on the clock and was completely unmodified)

I am a barely 5 foot tall 20 year old girl so I needed to find a bike that was very low and pretty light(that wasn't a cruiser)

The CBR runs great, we can find a lot of spare parts for it- new and old (having a dad that owns a motorcycle shop really helps in that department), it is great for little trips around town but is also comfortable for the longer rides (5+ hours) and on the highway.

Although it is only a 250cc, I am already passing the bigger bikes around twisties 'cause it is so light. No, it wont keep up with a big bike on the straits, but corners are more fun anyway :P I have ridden a few other bikes including a 1993 CBR 400, and I still prefer the 250 because of its size.

It comfortably sits on 120km + on the highways and when pushing it will scream along at 185km + in 6th gear.

There is nothing I would change about this bike at all. I love it

I got this bike for $2000AU in darwin with on 27,000 on the clock, i have been riding it on my learners for a week now. I dont have lots of experience on bikes but i would recommend this to anyone look for a learner approved bike. It is quick, light, easy to handle, and in overall, it is just an amazing bike. I fit into the bike perfectly and it is really comfortable to ride. My dad who is 6 feet 2, 105kg, still felt like the bike was a good size. I can ride around town going 40 km/h in first gear which is very suprising to see on a 250, and best of all it sounds great. I can see this bike laster me for a while yet and it will be preparing me for the next step up in bike size.

1989 Honda MC19 Cbr250r

I brought this motorcycle for AU $1,000 as is unregistered and no roadworthy certificate. as seen in picture.

It had 51,886 kilometers on the clock and that did not deter Me from purchasing the bike.

On inspection of the bike before I purchased it, I took one look at it in the flesh and fell in love with it, the Seller told Me that it needed new spark plugs as it would not start. So I brought the spark plugs and went back to the Seller with them. He had charged the battery as it was completely flat. He installed the spark plugs and Vroom it started in a flash. Now the bike had been sitting in His garage for at least 9 months without starting, the tires were pretty deflated from the time that it had been sitting in the garage, but they were in very very good condition, front and back. I did not take it for a test ride, I just put My faith in the Seller, and in the bike most of all and paid for it.

Once I got on it and headed for home, I could tell that I was on a winner, as it ran perfectly except for the deflated tire pressure which made the handling a bit tough to control.

Once home tire pressure was corrected, front fork seals were changed and re-oiled, paint was removed from both wheel rims, oil checked and topped up, coolant changed and refilled and battery charged overnight.

I then booked it in to a certified road worthy dealer, took it their on the day after a complete day of inspection and testing, it passed without any defects or faults.

It was then booked into the Road Traffic Authority for inspection, and it was deemed passed for being registered for riding on Australian roads.

The total cost of the bike and all other above was AU $1,700.

Now if You are planning to buy a motorcycle, I highly recommend that You do not follow My instincts of this article, as I have a good knowledge of mechanics. Some are born with this ability, others need to start from scratch.

I bought my Honda CBR250R MC19 last year at a black market in China for around $1000 US. I bought the complete front end off of a crashed CBR929 for $250 and took it to a machine shop and got it retrofitted onto the 250. The thing goes up on the front wheel so easy, excellent for showing off! I've also got a West Moto GP paintjob and a few other nic nacs here and there. Extremely fun bike, but could definitely be faster.

I have a black and gold Honda CBR250R MC19 Sports Bike with MC22 Frame. Looks the business and the sound is mental above 16000 rpm, hauls ass like an ox. Just had mine dynotuned, cost a fair bit and uses more fuel but you will be in 100mph+ in no time. Take the revs to redline -18000 in second gear and youll top 60mph. 4th gear 100mph -6th gear 115+ depending on your road and traffic! I've taken on an RS250 and all he saw was my rear tyre!

I have a 1988 Honda CBR250R MC19. It has done 9000 miles and is mint. It takes a few miles to wake up, but then can gradually be taken to its max performance, depending how much mechanical sympathy you have. I find the gear box to be great and handling also very quick and easy. Suspension on mine feels like new, but I tested another MC19 which had been round the clock, and the shock was ruined - ruining the high speed feel. Surprisingly comfortable to ride and I'm 6' tall and 15 stone. For someone lighter, shorter and new to bikes, I cant recommend this enough. 45BHP, top speed 180kmh (120mph) but de-restriction gives you another 10-15 mph extra.
