Please identify this motorcycle for me?

It is a honda VTR between the years of 1997-2001. It doesn't specify on the side whether it is a VTR1000F or a VTR250. All it says is VTR in red letters near the bottom of the front casing. The color scheme is turquoise and white if that helps at all in identifying the model.

The model ID is printed on the VIN plate.
If you are trying to identify the bike by pictures alone, do some research and match it to these:

Look at the frame.

If it has a trellis frame it is a 250, if it has a beam frame it is a 1000.

I would have thought the differences would pretty obvious.

The VTR-250 is an unfaired commuter style bike, with a single disc at the front:

The VTR-1000 is a 3/4 faired sports bike, with a twin-disc at the front:

The two bikes look completely different.
