This model lengthened the CH250 by 14 inches (360 mm), placed an integrated trunk in the rear of the machine and lowered the seat.

The added length allowed a feet forward seating position[1] and a smoother ride than that of previous models.

The CN250 was a capable machine complete with trip odometer, fuel and temperature gauges, glove compartment, and trunk.

In the Japanese market the Helix had an aftermarket and cult following with the younger generation, not unlike sport bikes in America.

Aluminum rims replaced steel wheels in the early 90s, and a few emission controls were added to the engine.

Canadian citizens could still purchase a Helix as an import from the U.S., and a majority of Honda dealerships in Canada did not even stock a "floor model" for display.
