Overview

Introducing the 2017 Honda VTR-F 250, a captivating naked bike that seamlessly blends style, performance, and practicality for both new riders and seasoned enthusiasts. Designed with a sleek aesthetic and a purposeful stance, this motorcycle stands out in the entry-level market, particularly in Japan where it was sold. The VTR-F 250 embodies Honda's commitment to engineering excellence, making it an ideal choice for urban commuters and weekend explorers alike. With a low seat height, agile handling, and a lightweight frame, this bike is perfect for those who crave a spirited ride without overwhelming power. At the heart of the VTR-F 250 lies a robust 249 cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating 30 HP at 10,500 RPM, paired with a torque output of 22 Nm at 8,500 RPM. This powertrain is not just about numbers; it translates into a thrilling riding experience, characterized by responsive acceleration and smooth power delivery. The liquid-cooled engine, combined with a 5-speed gearbox, ensures that every twist of the throttle is met with confidence, while the impressive fuel efficiency of 2.50 litres per 100 km (or 94.09 mpg) means you can ride longer without frequent stops at the pump. The VTR-F 250 is equipped with features that enhance both comfort and control, making it a joy to ride in various conditions. Its diamond frame is complemented by a telescopic front fork and a swing arm rear suspension, providing stability and a smooth ride over uneven surfaces. The single disc brakes at both the front and rear offer reliable stopping power, while the bike's overall weight of just 161 kg (354.9 pounds) contributes to its nimble maneuverability. Coupled with a stylish matte black and red color scheme, the Honda VTR-F 250 is not just about performance; it’s a statement on the road. **
