ooo, and it's available in Yellow too. :D


From Honda Japan:

It probably will have the footwork whose feeling is better to everyday life. The modern design which is refined. Feeling the beat of V-Twin which bears the running which is good. Furthermore light conduct power is boosted, the tachometer of the seat high new equipment where the foot arriving is good. The steering wheel is grasped. And it starts running. It can encounter the scenery which is full in the shining where when the origin is different with just that.

Sorry only available in Japan right now... :(

Same old engine as our old '90 VTR250.....nuthin' wrong with that! They have made this Monster clone for the domestic market for quite a while. I think if we haven't seen it here yet, we are not about to......

Looks like a slightly smaller version of the Honda Hawk.

I say replace the nighthawk 250 with that thing. We need more 250 choices in the states...
