Just moved to Japan and have bought a used Honda VTZ 250 for starters, I´m a novice rider. However, it didn´t come with an OWNER´S MANUAL! I´ve scoured all kinds of websites for a copy, but nothing. If anyone can share a copy, let me know. Also, I can´t figure out what model year it is! (1988 is shown because I couldn´t proceed without selecting a year.) If you´re familiar with this Honda eries or with bikes in general, perhaps you can tell me where on the bike to check for a date/distinctive feature? Thanks and safe riding to all!
