| Every now and then Honda hit it right on the button, producing a bike that is remarkable for its blend of abilities. In the same way that the 400/4 of the '70s was a tasteful, restrained balance of qualities, the CB250RS is the demon the '80s. light at 2761b, fast at around 90mph (which is more than some of the singles twice the size can realistically manage), the slim and nimble RS became the dispatch rider's delight Even after the 125cc learner laws knocked the stuffing out of 250 sales, the RS continued to sell well It brakes superbly, returns around 60m pg and seems to respond well to being thrashed to within an inch of its bottom end. Maintenance is usually minimal if there is any at all, but with ignition that never needs touching, an automatic camchain adjuster and valves that keep to themselves you can simply get on and ride it hard. In keeping with its restrained looks, with an absence of twidly bits, the suspension can only be adjusted for preload on the rear two shocks, | |
