The 300 will succeed; for the $, it's a great piece of machinery. It's a great improvement and obviously targets the buyer who wants the sportbike experience. It takes EFI (finally) and many of the most common Ninjette mods and builds them into the as-delivered bike.

Honda's entry is obviously tailored at the urban rider who is doing *some* highway miles but more downtown, suburban, or other not-interstate riding.

Thing is, in those environments, if the buyer isn't made insecure by a scooter, their PCX150 is even better.

I popped over to Honda's site and noted that 2013 model year is TBD. Should be interesting to see how everything lines up $ to $.
