    Opinions VTR 250 Vs Spada 250?

    I am interested to know how people think these two Honda 250s compare?

    hXc is passionate about this.

    Similarities:

    Honda
    250cc
    v Twin

    Differences

    Spada - Alloy frame, VTR Steel Trellis
    Spada - 6 gears, VTR 5 gears
    Spada - 40hp, VTR 32hp
    Spada - Skinny wheels, VTR - fatter rear wheel
    Spada - 1988-1989, VTR - 1998-2008

    The Spada is a faster bike but then again it's still a 250. the VTR Build quality is nice and most Spadas I've seen are a bit scruffy (mainly due to age though). Spadas need their cam chains changed due to age and mileage but the VTRs are a bit newer so maybe not so much maintenence.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    Sure? Spada front = 100/80x17. Rear = 140/70x17. Besides bigger size isn't an indication of better grip/handling.
    Looks etc are always in the beholders eye. For superior performance, the Spada beats the VTR hands down.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Spada would be my choice based on riding one. I like the way they look too.
    If age, mileage & condition are an issue the newer machine may be the better choice but it is a Honda and if serviced half well a Spada is bound to be a reliable and better Grin making friend.
