09-13-2009, 12:55 PMI am sorry, I had incorrect information. Looks like the old ybr250 is made in china.
That said, interesting about the VTRe50. The same engine is used in the Honda Magna 250. Copies of the Magna 250 are made by Chunlan in the PRC and Kymco in Taiwan. If one of them would be smart enough to put the engine in a standard chassis it would make a kickass little bike.
In the Magna 250 the engine still makes a respectable 33 hp.

I really hate the Magna, another one of Honda's experiments that didn't sell. Ugly looking CMX updated done wrong. Really, the only thing I do like is that engine, but it could be the core of a really lovely street bike.

I was just hanging out with a couple Honda V4/VF500 riders last weekend. They are wonderful bikes that both guys and gals can enjoy.
I'll probably get one in the very near future should an excellent price on a nice one cross my desk.

Good luck Carl trying to find a decent one. They've all long ago been crashed by squids and parted out. I've been looking for a long time for another one in good enough shape to make it worthwhile.
The smoothest motor in any bike I've ever owned. Mine was the same paint scheme as the one in your photo.
Sigh. . .
Cheers,
Dan K.

Dan,
You can find some good samples around on the East coast. I know a couple people with samples in excellent condition but I doubt they're going to give them up anytime soon.
I appreciate your lament though...she is pretty!

10-05-2009, 05:38 PMTake the YBR125 for a ride and after the YBR250, than you know why it worth to pay that much more.
I paid 20,800 rmb and it was worth every penny. Dont forget it has even a fuel injection system, no stupid adjusting of the carburetor anymore. I did 5539m / 18172ft without any problems. Dont know any other bike here I would abuse that much ;)

10-06-2009, 10:18 AMbut your right that the bike is too expensive for the chinese market, even the YBR125 is too expensive for chinese buyers, for them a 125cc should be in a range of 3-5.000rmb

I'd also love the opportunity to be able to test ride the YBR250.....but in my area this is not possible.
What brand tires does the bike come with in China?Without consciousness, space and time are nothing; in reality you can take any time -- whether past or future -− as your new frame of reference. Death is a reboot that leads to all potentialities.

10-08-2009, 09:49 AMI love price research and bargaining :) Got it from a dealer in Jiangxi. They are actually forbidden to sell them for under 23.800rmb.
I think they put Kenda tires on the bikes.
Yeah testriding is unknown in China for motorbikes. I remember after i bought the ybr125 and drove on it the first meter after i paid i just wanted to return it :) No way that little shit would bring me to europe haha The 250 feels so different from the 125.
If you want the bike, it has 9000km on the clock and is just 3 month old. At the moment on the way to Chongqing for new clutch and a body make-up. It has alarm, original back tire and offroad back tire and side boxes for lots of stuff, but you can take them off too. Asked price is 15.000rmb but remember it was used intensely in Tibet.
