Honda VTR250 Special Edition (2017)

The Honda VTR 250 road bike was introduced in November 1997 as a budget motorcycle for novice riders. The model became a successor of Honda VT250 Spada, inheriting from it the engine (which was derated, and the 6-speed gearbox was replaced by a 5-speed one). The main sales markets are Japan, Australia, Europe (since 2009).

Main competitors:

The basis of the Honda VTR250 was a 2-cylinder V-shaped (52 °) liquid-cooled engine with a volume of 249 cm³, producing up to 32 hp. power and up to 23 Nm of torque. The maximum performance is at 8500-10500 rpm.

The frame of the motorcycle is a steel diagonal birdcage structure, much like the frame of Ducati road bikes.

For 2009, the Honda VTR 250 undergoes a facelift, with an updated look and injector instead of carburetors. This modification was also supplied to European countries.

In 2013, a new modification appears on the Japanese market - the Honda VTR250F. It is distinguished by the presence of a front half fairing and a headlight of a different shape.

Since 2015, the line has been supplemented by the LD modification - Honda VTR250LD . This version has a lower configuration (reduced overall height, seat height and ground clearance).

2017 was the last year of production of the Honda VTR250, after which it finally left the assembly line. In the same year, Honda releases a limited edition Special Edition in exclusive colors.

Despite the interesting concept, the model is practically not found in Russia and is rarely brought by importers. Low demand is due to a rather high price (in comparison with more cubature models of the same years) and a peculiarity of the mentality of Russian consumers who prefer older, but more powerful models for the same price.
