The VTR250 already has a proven track record in Japan where its blend of sporty performance, easy handling and edgy street credibility heads the quarter-litre class. Its high performance V-type two-cylinder engine was first launched as the VT250F in 1982

INTRODUCTION

• Subsequent updates retained its basic configuration while placing ever greater emphasis on compact size and exhilarating performance
• In 1997 the first VTR was released with its distinctive truss frame, and it has been popular ever since. Young and entry-level riders are attracted by its light, compact chassis and easy handling characteristics
• More experienced riders appreciate the sports-inspired performance that makes it a fun and satisfying ride. Its unmistakeable sports naked image has won its own loyal following and the VTR has become one of the most successful road going 250cc motorcycles

NEW FOR 2010

• Monoshock dampers with adjustable spring pre-load support the rear
• Low, comfortable seat that creates a confident riding position for riders of all proportions and skill levels
• Chamber-less muffler with oxygen sensor, pre-catalyser and main catalyser, ensuring that the catalytic converter system reduces exhaust emissions
• Liquid cooled 4-stroke DOHC 90° Vtwin engine
• PGMFI incorporates 6 sensors to accurately determine the optimal ignition timing and fuel injection. The result is fast, reliable ignition and exceptionally smooth, quick throttle response

LAMS APPROVED

• Perfect for learner riders, the VTR250 is LAMS approved. This is a good bike to learn on.
• Please consult your local authority before purchasing a motorcycle for learner use. Each state and territory has its own regulations relating to the range of motorcycle models approved under the Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme.
