VTR250

[Kal]

I have fallen in lust with the Honda VTR250

This: http://www.ericksenhonda.co.nz/VTR250.JPG

Apparently the model dates from 2000 and is still on sale in AUS and NZ

How do I find one in the UK?

No idea, look among the import section of auto trader etc.

Alternitivaly, have a look at this:



it's a 400, still an import, but somewhat more readily available. It's the honda Bros. might be worth a look - it's kinda similar to the VTR...

Not sure about the sawn off exhaust... think I'd probably want to fit an aftermarket one keyoke

[Chels]

nibblet is right that exhuast has to go

[Keyoke]

I kinda like the exhaust - gives ait a bit of a "brutish" look...

[Nibblet99]

Yeah, you just keep telling yerself that the short ones look "brutish" :laughing:

Talk to BAT Motorcycles they used to do a lot of imports.

Here is the link for the VTR250 on Honda OZ site.

The list price is around $8000AUD so GBP is 3,280.03.So add 500 quid or so for shipping and you could import a new one.


I think they look great and with 31BHP they would be great if your stuck with the 33bhp limit.Honda should bring these into the UK.As any bike that performs 31BHP Naturaly will ride ten times better than a restricted.

Hey UKers,

I live in AUS and have one similar to this, but mine has GOLD rims, ROO Racing muffler [carbon fibre], 2001 model, love it, great looking bike, but am selling as I need a car for the time being...

mines on the market for $6000AUS

I know this is an oldie, but can anyone get their hands on a repair manual for this bike?

[Kal]

Not sure how old your VTR is Shorts, but this guy is selling a factory manual for the 88-90 models...

Otherwise it might be worthwhile joining the Honda Riders Club of Australia... http://www.hrca.com.au/

Hey Kal, thanks for the link.

I also found a devoted VTR250 ('98+) discussion board. I'm hoping our collective knowledge will provide enough info to take care of any issues that arise.

Hey Shorts if it's not too rude to ask how much did your VTR set you back?

Mine ran about 210,000yen before random fees. Out the door at 286,000yen. So, maybe $25-2600USD.

Mine was "cheap" as it is a higher mileage (74k kms) bike but its a 2000 model. So, it is well broken in but solid and in the range we wanted to spend. If it survives me, I may try to import to the States at the end of our tour so I can have a bike to jump on while we're setting up rather than hustle to get another bike ready to go for me.
