Yup same here. Angry little bikes

Looking at getting my friends in Japan to get me one of these. It'll basically live there at one of my friends houses so I'll have a bike to ride whenever I visit. As it's sub 250cc it doesn't need the Shaken inspection, just insurance. So I can just turn up, and ride it. :)

i agree, surprisingly chunky for a little bike

Lovely little motor that Pete. Looks to be very nimble, nice loud presence and has a good turning circle… great wee commuter perhaps?

Sound same as R 1 ❤

Also more horsepower then a vtr as later 5 speed vtrs were only around 30ish hp

i'm surprised honda has not reused this engine or released a updated 400cc version. the engine sound is great.

The vtr250 is similar, but doesn’t make as much power. A 400 or 650 would be amazing. Hyosungs naked 650 v-twin was pretty successful

@@MrBrandonLau i agree, i owned a VTR250 also, while the VTR some claim looks better, its a shame that Honda never released a 600cc version.

where did you buy the stainless exhaust? any mods required to fit to the spada?

@AridersLifeYT

Жыл бұрын

The full system is from Japan, it’s for a VTR250 but also fits the spada as it’s the same engine placement. I cut the welded end pipe off and fitted the sc project. The aftermarket exhaust saves about 3kg in weight. The pipes slightly thicker from the mid pipe back. Total investment was about $1200 aud for the conversion

Howd you find the Spada to ride? Currently looking at a clean one near me for $1,700 AUD as a cheap little cummuter and run around. Cheers

I got this baby for $750 as is, spent about 6 hours tearing it down to clean etc, got the RWC and sold it for $2700. i regret selling it as th spada was amazing condition for its age. its a little bit forward (seating position wise) but overall, this or thee VTR250 are both great bikes.
