The GTV 250ie is the retro-styled sibling of the GTS 250, sharing its mechanics but adding 1950s cues: a front-fender headlight, exposed handlebar tube and separate leather-style seats. It has a liquid-cooled 244 cc four-stroke and front and rear discs. Reviewers found it stylish and fine for short freeway runs but not a tourer.
