1992 – 2003 Honda CB250

In 1992, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB250SC Nighthawk, a motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range and its second year of production. The bike didn't feature any changes and was powered by the engine used on the 1985-1987 CMX250 Rebel model.The CMX250 Rebel's engine was updated with new wiring, new components, a larger carburetor, a new valve cover, and a reshaped cylinder head. Compared to the Honda Rebel 250, which offered similar specifications, the CB250 Nighthawk was considered a standard street motorcycle for urban street use.It was a lightweight, maneuverable, inexpensive, and easy-to-maintain motorcycle that was also used by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) motorcycle training. With its small size and low seat height, the bike was popular amongst riders of smaller stature.For suspension, the bike packed a 31 mm telescopic fork on the front and dual shock absorbers with five-way preload adjustability on the rear, while the braking performance was handled by two 152 drum units both front and rear.In the power department, the 1992 Honda CB250SC Nighthawk had at its core a 239cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by two Keihin carburetors that helped deliver an output power of 20 hp with maximum strength at 9,000 rpm and 18 Nm (13 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,500 rpm.
