Both bikes will have there good points and bad points... I ride the other halfs '98 VTR250 every so often, and the good points about it
- Is a good learners bike, has a solid sub frame, and is very stable. It will (and has) give a new rider a lot of confidence.
- VTR does probably have a bit more power, but power isn't every thing mind you.
- I found it reasonably and suprisingly comfortable (its physically big for a 250) I'm 6'1" and around 100kg I would happily take it on a long ride...
Little bad point things about the VTR250
- No Rev counter on early models (I believe the 07 model does).
- Very little storage under seat, and seat is part of the rear covers.
- Has typical honda gear box.
