Both were I4 screamers so were true baby blades, the 250RR made about 40bhp compared to the current gen's 27. The current one is a baby viffer more than anything & is only piggybacking on the name of the CBRs.
They may as well have called it a SP-3

Yes it does

No they don't (well higher volatile organic compounds, but overall lower total emissions) and filtering in traffic a bike will do the trip in ~1/3 the time (own experience), overall reducing total emissions & travel time for all road users.
