I highly doubt a guy who spends $4500 on a current Ninja 250, would be foolish enough to spend another $1500 on carbs just to gain 3-5HP. $6K? Really? Go buy a used 600/650cc for that money.

I say it's a waste for Yoshi to invest all this effort and time, money building these because had they had inside contacts from Kawi they would have known a http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/wp-c...nja-250R-1.jpg was coming out that produces way more HP and has tons of features. And will be priced lower than $6K.

I'm just saying their timing is late, and the costs are too great for US riders/racers to even consider.

Maybe in your country it may be worth upgrading the carbs for whatever government regulations you may have but here in the States...nah, the cost outweighs the benefits.
the carbs were manufactured for a variety of bikes.
they just linked two of them, created some jets, and cnced some different mounting options for the 250.

i dont think they wasted much time on these carbs.
they just figured a new way to make it profitable.
