The Honda VTR250 has been around since 1997 and remained pretty much the same design ever since. The engine is a 90 degree V-Twin with a capacity of 249cc, a slightly more fun one than the one on the CBR250R. It churns out a healthy 29.5HP @ 10,500 RPM and 21.9Nm of torque at 8,500 RPM. The 2013 Honda VTR-F gets a semi faired version that houses a VFR’ish reflector design. Also new is the instrument cluster that gets a analogue tachometer with a LCD screen, while the VTR standard version uses a smaller LCD screen with two analogue dials. Apart from these differences both the versions are pretty similar. Both feature a 5 speed gear box with a well sorted gearing, the brakes are twin piston ones with 140/70-17 rear and 110/70-17 front wheels to work with. Both versions feature 41mm telescopic forks and a rear mono-shock. The VTR weighs 161 kilograms and the VTF-F weighs 164.2 kilograms and comes in Magna Red, Graphite Black and Pearl White.

The VTR 250F should be sold here, albeit at a price higher than the CBR250R! That V-Twin motor looks yumm!
Even the VTR250 makes a lot of sense to be sold, can go up against the naked Comet 250 if it ever comes._________________________

VRF250F seems to be the best upgrade for those who are struck with zma and 220's .I think its more practical and tourer friendly than an fully faired bike.Being a 250 its range should also be good and better than other superbikes.Finally if they launch it honda is gonna beat the hero very soon since they are building the right brand image with bigger bikes plus economical bikes.

Honda is here to do business, a cheaper motorcycle will obviously sell more than a more expensive bike and its all about raking in the big numbers. Case in point, CBR250 vs N250._________________________

These 250s may prove nice step-up for that 14Hp riders.
