    250's will continue to race. They are likely to add a second wave to accommodate the bigger displacement machines.

    300CC isn't a beginner's bike???
    A SV650 is considered to be one, why do you think a 300 isn't?
    All that 39 hp's?

    I butt tested the new Ninja300 at Fays over lunch. No surprises, since the frame is the same as the old one. Ergonomically similar. It looks more in line with the rest of Kawi's bigger sportbikes.

    ..and here is a review from Spooph -> http://thedandooligan.com/2012/09/26...tain-kawasaki/

    Confirmed with insurance that I can only have one bike at a time on my policy to get the great rate I have grandfathered in. :/
