CBF250 review
Cheap transport
Visordown
Pros
Solid and reliable
Cons
Hard to justify owning one
A no-frills learner bike the CBF does exactly what it says on the can. On the plus side it is cheap, virtually indestructible and quite good-looking. But really it’s just a stepping-stone to bigger and better things.A no-frills learner bike the CBF does exactly what it says on the can.
