Honda VT250

The VT250, or Spada MC20, is a Honda motorcycle built between late 1988 and the end of 1989. The VT250 Spada used Nissin brakes, Enkei wheels and a Showa rear shock, and the model was principally marketed in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Following the VT250 Spada, the Honda VTR250 was produced, which had a trellis frame in place of the cast aluminium frame. Its predecessor was the VT250F, a semi-faired sport bike first produced by Honda in 1982 with a DOHC four-valve-per-cylinder 90-degree water-cooled V-twin engine that significantly reduced primary vibration compared with the inline twins used on similar machines. The V-twin also allowed a low centre of gravity and a low seat height, and the Spada carried that engine into a more road-oriented, naked-styled model.
