Honda’s got the CBR250 and CRF250L, but they don’t have a naked 250 cc street bike yet here in North America.

But, maybe that’s going to change. Check out this new Honda we saw on TMC Blog. It’s a naked 150 cc motorcycle for Asian markets, the CB150R Streetfire. It’s a sharp-looking bike on its own, but it’s also evidence that Honda’s not resting on their CBR250 laurels. It’d be great to see this design work trickle down to the Canadian market, with a slightly bigger motor.

Speaking of quarter-liter naked bikes, we were wrong the other day when we said Suzuki’s Inazuma 250 was selling around the rest of the world already. The made-in-China machine isn’t really on the market anywhere yet. So, here’s another video of the bike, as our form of apology.
