Round 2 starts "soon" (pete-blen)

[pete-blen]

Hi all..
So after 15 years its time to get another bike..
yer yer mid life criss etc

Only a little one this time around....I don't bounce as good anymore...
The only bike I can fined that ticks all my bases is a VTR 250 2011 model..
I don't know whats happened in the last 15 year.. but the choice seems to
be a lot more limited.....Or maybe thats just the way I remember it..

So any way some time before summer I will put a smile on the face of the local
Honda dealer...
But be fore I do... What are the bad points of the VTR ?

Oh no... did you just ask what are the bad points of a Honda on Kiwibiker? Run and hide mate!

Welcome to KB! Home of the greatest intellectuals NZ has to offer.

Dunno to be honest...

[Usarka]

Haven't ridden one, but can't recall anyone saying anything bad about the vtr2fiddy.

[ClutchITUP]

I'll start then................................... its not CBR1000RR

And its brand new why not save a couple of grand an get one with less then 10thousand km on it?

I'm not saying

I just saying

Not sure if they have changed anything since the 2003 model, but the only thing I don't like about it is I wish they had added in another gear (unless you don't mind the 'high' revs).

Otherwise absolutely love the vtr250 myself! Haven't ridden on any other bikes to compare, so I am biased

the vtr is a fairly bulletproof little bike. id suggest getting a second hand low kays one, save you a few thousand
