The second-generation SR250, a retro-styled single in the mould of the SR500 but with a smaller 239 cc engine. Compared with the 1980s bike it gained a front disc brake and a 19-inch front wheel while keeping electric start and simple air-cooled running gear. Aimed at commuters wanting a reliable, classic-looking small bike.
