Honda's venerable VTR250 90-degree V-twin commuter has been updated again, and this time it's substantive with the addition of fuel injection for smoother and quicker throttle response.
The adoption of Honda's PGM-FI has seen the airbox moved under the petrol tank to keep the bike slim, while the instruments are now digital.
The pillion seat has also been moved up on the sub-frame to create more underseat storage.
The low-vibe machine, which first went on sale in Australia a decade ago, maintains its unique truss frame.
The 2009 VTR is available in Italian Red/Accurate Silver Metallic or Graphite Black/Accurate Silver Metallic.

Meanwhile, the Fly 125, one of Piaggio's best selling entry-level models, is now available for $2990 (recommended price before delivery and statutory charges), a $700 saving on the normal price. The offer is available while stocks last.
The Fly has a 125cc air-cooled leader engine and CVT automatic transmission. It is the same powerplant fitted to the Vespa LX range, which conforms to stringent Euro 3 emission regulations.
The Fly is available in four colours: black, midnight blue, silver or white.
