Tricolor Option For Honda CBR250RR Launched In Indonesia

PT Astra Honda, a joint venture company between Indonesian manufacturer Astra, and Japanese motorcycle giant, Honda, has launched a special edition of the Honda CBR150R and CBR250RR in the Indonesian market. The Tricolor variants of the two sportbikes feature a livery similar to that of the range topping Honda CBR1000RR-R SP—a machine lauded for its technological advancements and outright performance. 

Although the CBR150R and CBR250RR are pretty far off when it comes to performance in comparison to the CBR1000RR-R SP, the new Tricolor paint scheme gives the two baby sportbikes a rather aggressive and sporty aesthetic. Featuring Honda's iconic racing colorway consisting of red, blue, and white, the Tricolor edition fo the two bikes is meant to pay homage to the iconic Japanese manufacturer's dominance in the motorsport world which has lasted for several decades now. The enhancements to the CBR150R and CBR250RR Tricolor editions however, are all skin-deep, as beneath the fancy color scheme, the two bikes remain the same as before.
