I've heard from Devil Girl that they are the same, but don't quote me on it. I haven't taken a close look at the two.

well of course it's a different casting, but it's more an issue of the engine mounting points

if you read the broshore the 500 uses a High-tensile steel, perimeter design frame the 250 uses a Semi-double cradle, high-tensile steel frame.

I don't think the frame is gonna matter as much as the engine's mounting points. If they're the same who cares about the frame.

What about visa versa? 250 frame, 500 engine?
