Honda CBR250RR vs Kawasaki Ninja 250 [Quick Comparison]

Honda CBR250RR vs Kawasaki Ninja 250: CBR250RR and Ninja 250 are two premium twin-cylinder quarter-litre options available in several markets. Indian fans are waiting eagerly for both these machines as more buyers are now willing to spend higher-than-ever for refinement and fun associated with the twin-cylinder sportbikes. Still, none of these two has any concrete launch plans for the Indian market as Kawasaki has already launched the MY2021 of Ninja 300 at a very competitive price tag. Talking about Honda, at present, the brand’s focus is on single-cylinder motorcycles and scooters.
