I don't think the VTR250 will launch in the foreseeable future. It just wouldn't make sense, since Honda is just starting to explode the 250cc market.
Additionally, some people are wondering why they would have gone through the trouble of developing a new 250cc single instead of launching an existing bike. It's because we're not the only market they are targeting. The CBR250R is supposed to be a global launch. Here it's positioned as a sports tourer, in Europe and other countries it will be positioned as a fun learners bike. (Most European countries have regulations that limit displacement and horsepower for the first years after getting a motorcycle license.) Thus it makes perfect sense for Honda to develop a new "cheap" platform.
