I bought a very nice 1988 VTR250 in the Ken & Barbie colors. Mechanically, the bike was perfect, but I prefer the 1990 bodywork. Over the past year I found some 1990 pieces and had some repainted and had decals made to match the originals. I kept the inboard front disc. (When everything's working well, don't change it.) I'm not really a "collector", but have 12 bikes all 500cc's or under and the VTR is in my top 3 favorite rides. Starts on the button every time. Seldom even need choke. Spins up like a top. So light and narrow.

Very clean!! Easily my favorite color way. I ended up with a 90 that had the 88-89 inboard disc swapped in, learning to love it haha, glad to see yours is palletable.

In cycling circles the correct number bikes to own is either:
N plus one, where N is the number you already have
or
D minus one, where D is the number at which divorce proceedings start.
