Don't ever confuse having a career with having a life.
So will this qualify for the 250cc class or is it only Ninja's?
Pretty wimpy if classed with real 250s... TZRs, RGVs, NSRs, RS, etc.
Yes will it?
Scott?
Currently, only kawasaki ninjas afaik, but post this to the mra forum and see?

looks to be similar HP output and no other real advantages but being a single it might be slower on the long straights. Plus there will not be much aftermarket support, but it'll be interesting to see what happens, I say let 'em run!
Apples and oranges.
They're already talking about it.

ugh...the hideous viffer took a hideous 1/4L dump
The fuel injection might be too much advantage
If not the spec 250 class they can still run in LWGP

I like the look. Might be time to dump the Gixxer and go 250 racing...

Very nice. I wonder what they'll price it at.

Sorry, no 2 smokers in the class. Regardless, the CBR is still eligible for LWGP as stated, Colorado Class, SuperTwins GTU without allowing it into the spec 250 class. Hope this helps someone decide to show up and race!
Brakes are simply a means for expressing fear.
Interesting...I wonder how light you'd be able to get that thing...

No ABS on Kawi

ABS only an option on the CBR
It's a Honduh, it'll be priced way above what a 250 should be.
