I had a VTR250, it was an awesome little runabout bike and surprisingly fast. Was not meant for a 6' rider though 😞

As everyone else has said they're mostly bulletproof, but I'd only suggest buying a 25 year old motorcycle if you're comfortable working on it yourself or plan on giving lots of money to your mechanic.

Mine was very lumpy and really didn't like being below 4000 until I did the starter valve sync like in the thread above and it made a huge difference. It's still not great below 3000 rpm but I think thats just too low for these bikes no matter what, maybe the carbureted bikes are better at really low RPM. It also made the throttle response a lot smoother, it was very twitchy before and was really difficult to smoothly apply throttle at low speed. I also removed the pair system and flapper but I'm not sure that did anything.
