    Yamaporn

    First Kawasaki puts out the restyled 250 Ninja, now this ... no indication if it will ever make it stateside though...

    I like that headlight better than the bug eyes on the R6. Teh secksi!

    That is sweet, I am really liking riding around on a 250, it would be great if this segment takes off.

    That may be a hella good photochop. But if they make and sale that bike in the states with a 4K or below price tag the Kawi's will have to go back to the drawing board AGAIN. Hopefully Honda will jump on the hotness 250 bandwagon

    Re: Yamaporn

    That bike does look interesting. I tried to find more info on it such as size/weight/HP and couldn't find anything. If/when it comes to the states, if it runs as good as it looks, it could a fun bike to own.

    I had a Yamaha SRX 250 years ago. It was a very small, 4 stroke, single cylinder sport bike from the early '80's. I was too big for it but it was still a nice canyon bike.

    Re: Yamaporn

    yea there is no way that is a real bike though.

    a 250 coming over to compete with kawi wouldnt have inverted forks dual front discs. r6-wheels what looks like a gilles chain adjuster on back

    Re: Yamaporn

    Anyone here read Japanese and can translate? Looking at the original pic it seems the passenger pegs look a bit thin, so I don't doubt it's photochopped. Still, if it is a preview of what's coming down from Yamaha ..

    That is a good looking 250, but it's still a 250.

    According to this link, it's supposed to be a single.

    I would love a four-cylinder 250, but even if it's a single cylinder I want one.
