The ST 250 was a simple, light 250 cc air/oil-cooled single in a retro roadster style, with a tubular backbone frame and a front disc with rear drum. It was an easy, economical commuter that also worked as a learner bike, and it had electric start. The motor is a refined single with modest but friendly power.
