There's that cool ride by the Honda CBX 250 Twister, a bike that made history and is still a passion for many, 250cc and a huge leap in technology by replacing the CBX 200 Strada, I hope you enjoy it. _______________________________________________________________ ----► Subscribe: https://bit.ly/3jVuQdR ----► Facebook: / nicovtrr​​​​​ ---► Instagram: / nicovtr3 Become a member of this channel: / @nicovtr _______________________________________________________________ ● Contact for partnerships: [email protected] #cbx250 #twister250 #cbx250twister The Honda CBX 250 Twister A pioneer in the segment that reserved the biggest launches in the motorcycle industry in recent years in the country - after the Twister, arrived the Honda XR 250 Tornado; the Yamaha Fazer, in 2005; and in October of last year, the Yamaha XTZ 250 Lander — this 250cc Honda is seen as a “natural” evolution of the thousands of new motorcyclists that emerge every year. For experts, those who buy a 125cc and start using the bike as a means of transportation, work or leisure tool, want to grow in displacement and technology. The CBX 250 meets these expectations well. With disc brakes, aluminum swingarm, a beautiful (and complete) digital panel and a sportier riding position, it is the option for those who want to have their first “big bike”, plagiarizing the slogan of a recent launch in the automobile industry. Recipe for success The modern design, which underwent a remodeling in 2006 gaining a sharper tail, is one of the factors responsible for the Twister’s success. It is also worth mentioning the eye-catching and beautiful yellow color, available for this year’s version. Despite the quarter-liter capacity, this 250cc looks like a larger bike. This is helped by the mono-shock system and the 130/70-17 tire (40 mm wider than most 125cc tires and with a sportier profile) at the rear, and the beautiful dashboard and voluminous 16.5-liter tank at the front. After being seduced by the look, anyone who rides the Twister inevitably ends up approving its handling. The semi-double cradle frame combined with the aluminum swingarm make the bike very stable on straights and “sporty” on curves. The 17-inch alloy wheels equipped with a single disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear provide the rider with confidence. The performance is also impressive. The single-cylinder, four-valve, dual overhead camshaft engine with a capacity of 249 cm³ produces 24 hp of maximum power at 8,000 rpm. With a maximum torque of 2.48 kgf. at 6,000 rpm, the engine's useful range is limited to 2,000 rpm, which, when maintained, guarantees a motorcycle that is agile in pick-ups. It can easily maintain 120 km/h on highways, which makes it a reasonable companion for traveling, despite its urban character. Injection is lacking When compared to the Yamaha YS 250 Fazer, its main competitor, the Honda model lacks fuel injection. Powered by a carburetor, the single-cylinder engine has hiccups and unsatisfactory performance at low revs. Below 3,000 rpm, the engine "knocks" and does not have the strength to push the motorcycle. To have a full engine and enjoy the "sportiness" of the Twister, it is necessary to run above 5,000 rpm. The bill comes when it is time to refuel. Always running within the engine's useful range, consumption is 23 km/L. But if you extend the sixth gear (a very long one) to the maximum speed of 140 km/h, this number can drop to 18 km/L, a figure worthy of larger motorcycles. The six-speed gearbox brings another discomfort: it requires constant downshifts when riding in urban traffic. It promises what it delivers The Twister meets the bill as a “first big motorcycle”. Although it is too “guzzling” for those who work on motorcycles, it is ideal for those who use the bike as a means of transportation for the home-work-college commute or who are looking for better performance on trips at an affordable price.
