I have managed to find a digital version of the Owners Manual that would have come with the motorcycle when purchased as well as a copy of the Shop Manual. The shop manual cost $8.00 and the Owners Manual was free. Essential items I'm sure you would agree for working on anything mechanical. So far they're very interesting reads and will help enormously when it comes to putting the bikes back together... as well as when they're being taken apart.
I also came across some concept work which immediately grabbed me as its something I occasionally get the chance to do myself in my particular field of work. I am really impressed by how simple the sketch is, yet so much emotion is put forth speed, edginess, urban life, etc. The quality Isn't brilliant but if anyone has some high res versions of the Concept Art please get in touch with me I would love to look at it in more detail.
"As a comparison, the final product from a similar angle"
There was also what i can only assume to be the front cover of a product pamphlet which is also striking. Red and Black is something of a signature that I've adopted over the years and here it is being used to excellent affect before I was even born
The concept work and front cover where found on the Japanese Honda site in the "fact books" section. Regrettably I couldn't translate the page to read the context in which the pictures where shown. But Its possible I may figure out a way to do it in the near future. I have provided a link the VT250F "fact books" section in the side menu.
