I spoke to the Yamaha rep at Daytona today, he has no idea what a R-25 or R3 are and has never seen the R25 prototype vid with Rossi.
On another note, EBR is bringing in a 250, but it will compete with the CBR250 so no threat to dethrone the Ninja 300, too bad!
I had hopes for the Buell design but it is just a rehash of another 25 HP beginner bike. They plan to be the lowest price, rather than compete in performance. Shame really, Buell is a great designer and has done a lot despite being held back so many years by HD.
