Honda’s CB range of motorcycles has received global acclaim thanks to their universal styling and accessibility. In recent years, the brand has hinged on the CB’s heritage by rebranding it with what it’s calling “Neo Sports Cafe” styling, accentuated with a round headlight and generally modern bodywork. Needless to say, the new design language has captured the hearts and minds of enthusiasts all over the world
Specific to the Asian market, Honda has applied the same styling to the smaller CB models. We now have bikes like the CB150 Exmotion and CB250R sporting retro styling. For Malaysia in particular, the CB250R neo-retro naked bike has received a number of updates for the 2022 model year. The updates elevate the bike’s premium feel, while retaining its accessibility and affordable price tag. To start with, Honda has fitted the CB250R with its premium Showa big piston forks. These provide the bike with a more direct-feeling front end and of course, a more premium aesthetic. A five-step preload-adjustable monoshock has been thrown in, too.
