Can be very nice. Just be aware that the engines are not particularly strong. Prone to bottomend and topend 'meltdown'. Due to poor oil ducting. Quite unlike the later VTR's and the K model Spada.

Hang on, What's a K model Spada? I thought each Spada was the same?

They are...built only '88 and '89. Known as the VT250K. If it's not a K, then it's not a Spada.

:Oops::whistle::o One will be '88 and the other '89. I stand by my assertion that they were made for 2 years only, and that they are nothing like other model VTs other than they are v-twins.

Good choice. Look after it but don't forget to thrash it. It'll love you.
