2006 Vento V-Thunder 250, Under 500 miles on this one!!! The Vento line of motorcycles was born in San Diego, California in 1996, with their manufacturing plant located in nearby Mexico. They quickly switched plants to Laredo, Texas, in order to market it as an ""American-made"" motorcycle. Introduced in 2005,{this one is a 2006}, the V-Thunder is considered to be a cruiser/touring model, with its classic styled front and rear fenders, four gallon tank, and characteristic instrumentation.The 2006 V-Thunder features an air-cooled, 249 cc, V-twin engine. It is going to feel at home at speeds around 55 MPH, it won't like to go 65 or more. The steel-framed bike was designed as a entry-level cruiser, so look for an easy-going, lower powered, riding experience. The belt-driven, five-speed transmission has a standard heel-toe shifter, which is a nice touch.The front suspension is telescoping fork type, without dampening. A twin-sided swing arm suspension with an adjustable spring preloaded shock – again, without dampening – is featured on the rear of the V-Thunder. The cruiser rides on 16-inch aluminum wheels. The gas tank holds 3.4 gallons, and the estimated mileage is around 65 miles per gallon.Carrying on the classic cruiser image, it has a factory-installed studded two-up seat, at 27.8 inches high. The windshield completes the look. Its fuel gauge is located in the 3.4-gallon tank, along with the ignition lock. The driver has a set of floorboards, while the passenger has the normal footpegs.The seat height of 27.8 inches is typical of the cruiser style, designed to let the rider sit low and relaxed in the scoop seat. The passenger rides slightly higher on the two-piece seat, mounted directly to the rear fender. For a small entry-level cruiser, this isn't a bad choice. This bike only has 450 miles on it!!!
