If they jack the 250 up any more they certainly won't sell many, at the $4000 it is starting to get into the range of other "starter" class bikes. They would need to really give the enthusiasts something good to keep them coming back if the price was higher. Need to have the same fully adjustable suspension as the bigger machines, better tires, all that stuff since you are getting close to paying for the bigger machine with the higher price. I think the $4000/$4100 MSRP coupled with the rat dealers adding who knows how much more on top of that are really running the desire for this model into the ground. People report paying $5000 after set up, shipping, dealer extortion, etc. and that is just crazy for a 250 class motorcycle.
