VTR CM ?
What is the story on this bike...anyone have a clue? It looks like a 250 for sure but that is all I know.

that is a VTR 250 they last imported them to the us in 1990, that is one of the newer body styles the engine is similar to the old style they been making them over seas for years. we never get all the cool bikes

It was imported to the US? Hmm, never saw one, but it is cool. Where did you come across the pic, Jim?

Chickenstrip, I was on the Honda Japan sight and looked at this vidio

http://www.honda.co.jp/HDTV/VTR/cm-heart/

I tried to lean more about the bike but cannot read Japanese. I could not find a still shot of the bike - in the video I could not tell it was a 250 so after Googling ‘VTR CM’ I found the above photograph and then knew it was 250cc engine as I know that motor (at first I had no idea how big it was).

PS: Never a US model.

Yeah, I figured it hadn't been imported here. As stated above, lots cues taken from the Monster.

Been in Oz for a fair while. This is my sons 250 (99 model). A nice nippy little bike

The US version VTR250 did not have a trellis type frame and was made from steel, IIRC. It also came in gay-*** pastel colors more suited for flamers and girls. It handles poorly and didn't have enough power to get out of its own way. The newer non-US version is a much more competent bike.

Here's a link to a pic of the frame: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jetforme/2748576849/
