    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.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    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.

    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.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

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