The 2009 VTR250 was the first big update of the naked model: PGM-FI fuel injection replaced the carburettors, the airbox moved under the tank to keep the bike slim, and the rear end and midsection were restyled. Suspension, wheels, brakes and the instruments carried over. The fuel-injected model was also offered in Europe and returned to Australia in mid-2009.
