I don't know, seems like history repeating itself again and we will fall back into the same stupid situations.

Big mfg make small displacement road bikes.... they get a following, lots of people like them, lots of people want more power. Big mfg gives bikes slightly more cc's, people still want more power...... big mfg add more cc's.and now the difference in engine displacement has swung close enough between a few bikes that the slightly less powerful bike doesn't sell as well because people say. "well... why not just get a 600?"

I feel like I would be in that boat. 400 cc isn't small enough to really pull me into that small displacement ring it out kinda vibes, I'm not buying a 400, i'd just go straight for the 600 and want to have something else in the 250-300 range for small displacement enjoyment.

Too bad it seems like none of the 250 IL4's get released in the US.
