I have always been a fan of V-twin and V-4 motorbikes and unfortunately they seem to be out of favour with Japan's big 4 manufacturers.

I believe the VTR 250 is currently being sold in India and I was wondering if anyone had any more recent info on if when/if Honda might bring it here. I was thinking that in a couple of years once Asean starts affecting bike imports that this might be a likely candidate for Thailand introduction. I know there was talk about it coming over prior to the CBR250 release but I haven't seen anything new since.

I would be even happier to get my hands on a SV650 but can't imagine that coming anytime soon (at least not without the import tariffs).

Its too bad that we are limited on engine configuration on new reasonably priced bikes in Thailand. I would go for an old Honda Hawk/Bros but I can see it just getting harder and to find non-ethanol blended fuels.

If only they had redone the old VFR500 from the 80's instead of the CB500 that would have been ideal.....
