haha w3rd. the kawa ninja 250 is still my choice over the two. That V-Twin would get quite annoying after a while and i personally don't know about a company that is brand new to the market. o well.

Where in the rulebook does is say that all bikes under 600cc have to be designed so no one wants to ride them? I mean is it really that hard to make these things appealing?

If there were bikes that look like the 250rr, rs250 or nsr250 here they would be selling like there was no tomorrow.

some one said in another thread, that there would be a huge market for someone making a 250r conversion. to make it more attractive..


all the nice 250's are overseas

Honestly the 250 is just a bit too wheezy on the highway for the US market. A nice liquid cooled 350-400cc sportbike would be awesome here in the states. the ninja 500 and suzuki gs400 are too junky/antiquated.

The Aprilia 450 would be awsome if they ever sell it here.

Also- it's kinda funny/stupid how the 250 and the 650 look the exact same less a few minor details... </TD></TR></TABLE>

i agree. for my first bike i'd love to get a 400. i'm scared i'll get tired of a 250, but i don't want to start on something like a 600.
