Honda file

The second-generation VT250F of 1984 was a thorough rework of the original: a reshaped half fairing, a larger 14-litre tank, a 17-inch rear wheel in place of the 18 and, in Japanese spec, a stronger engine with revised intake ports. It kept the same basic DOHC 90-degree V-twin layout, six speeds and chain drive.
