that definitely looks like a sweet bike, if it were out already, and with a similar price rage as our ninja, i would have very likely chosen the yamaha, however there are still a lot of factors involved such as availability, performance, but primarily in my case currently, the $$!
however, before i got the Ninja, and i did some research on 250s, i saw that in Japan they sell a Honda hornet 250, 4 cylinder, with a good 40 Hp, however its only available there, and its impossible to get it here in Indonesia, but then the new 250 ninja came out last year and it was even available here! so i fell in love!
if this yami comes loaded with an inline 4 cylinder 250 power plant~ i would love to see its performance, and most probably envy anyone having it around here xD
who knows maybe my gf can inherit the ninja in a couple years, and ill move up to a "bigger" bike! rofl~
