I like the look quite a bit, but it's going to need to perform at least as well as the Ninja 300 if it is going to succeed in the US. If it can't, then it won't be able to compete against the Honda 500's either, almost certainly keeping it from being profitable in this country.
In the design dept., this blows away the Ninja 300 and CBR 500R. For that reason alone I imagine they'll sell a ton. If this was out when I bought my 250, I definitely would have bought the Yami instead.
