I would really like to see something like this come along, especially if it had a tiny 4 cyl. A small twin can be quite entertaining as we all know. My prediction is if it's a 4cyl it will probably be very high priced, over 6k for sure. Yamaha's wr250x is overpriced for a tubby underpowered "motard", does not even have the actual WR 5 valve motor. Yamaha's have allways cost more than Kawasaki's anyway.
About that 125.. I had the chance to ride a Honda CBR150 a while back, as it turns out the production of those bikes is Thailand.. It was a liquid cooled 4 valve single, that was neat but it was stuffed into a steel frame, would have been nice to see it with an alluminum frame with USD forks, however it was entertaining (did a loop to the coast and back) overall impression.. cheap and 2nd tier Honda, I think I have a pic. It would be great if the Japanese would sell the actual "good" 250s in this country since a 125 two stroke is out of the question..
Here's the CBR150
