I'm really interested in this, hopefully, upcoming model form CSC.

Maybe do a web search for Ryuka 125? I think that's what it was called earlier in the thread.

I was a little surprised to see that this 250 from Suzuki for 2017 has a rear drum brake.

I was under the impression that drum rear brakes were something found only on "crappy Chinese" bikes, but I appear to have been mistaken. Here's a 2017 Yamaha 250 street bike with rear drum brakes:

I see today that CSC posted a little more of info on their upcoming 250CR on their Blog today. Looks like they're close to selecting the final design & specs, and placing an order with Zongshen.
No mention of color choices.

I hope they do away with the goofy 8 ball design on the tank and go with something more subtle like this:

simonjester,
I agree with your thoughts on the "8 Ball" design on the CR, and the paint job and trim on the Sinnis 125 Cafe Racer.
Hopefully CSC is wise enough to offer an eye-catching paint scheme and attractive contrasting color trim.
I'm also eagerly waiting to see what CSC's selling price of their CR will be. I hope it's competitive and attractive to buyers.

Those are absolutely phenomenal bikes, too.

So apparently a bike having rear drum brakes is not just something you find on CB's.
