What kind of numbers did the cbr250rr put out, I think I remember reading somewhere 40hp? if so that is sweet! A IL4 4t 350 or in that range would be the bees knees
All I remember ls that about 10 years ago I began to look for alight weight 250 cc sport bike.
A wiki search turned up Japanese 250s with various specs. One of the bikes from the big three was rated as being lighter in weight and more powerful than the others. When I couldnt find one in the US or Canada. I gave up, but the thought of a 250 sport bike stayed with until last year when I finally bought 06s. I really like the pregen. It is the lightest of the plated sportbikes and thats why I didn't go for the 08 and up.

If a lite weight 250 4 cyl became avail, id buy it if was light enough....right at or below the 300lb range would be what I would expect for a serious canadate. For something like that I would expect to pay at least $2000 more than the current 300. Light weight costs and lighter the weight the more it would cost.
