Promotion of the 2011 Honda CBR250R continues as Honda has setup a flash-based game (if you can call it that) for users to play its worldwide website. Touring the world on the 250cc entry-level bike, you can pick your color scheme (we were partial to the Tri-Color paint that will never reach American soil) and you can also select from a bevy of anime style avatars. Once you’ve done that, you’re pretty much done with the game, as the rest of the experience involves watching the animated Honda CBR250R go through landscapes that depict landmark features of various countries.

While you can slowdown and speed up, you can’t really escape from the horde of other animated riders who pelt you with quotes from Twitter that promote the game (an aggravating experience to say the least). Somewhere along the way you start repeating the countries you’ve seen, and the novelty begins to wear off. At this point you’ve lost about 10 minutes of your life, and Honda isn’t going to give them back to you. There seems to be some motivation for playing the game further as other countries appear to be available at a later time, and of course there are goals you can achieve, like riding 100 km, which is approximately a 1hr 40min undertaking.

If you have small children and need a lengthy distraction, you can access the game here.
