I was in the market for a vfr400, looks like I'll be getting one of these instead if the power to weight is ok.

The older 250 i4's are available here, but most have been ridden hard and it shows. I just hope the new one is up to specc. Old zx250r had dual discs, curved radiator, etc. New bike looks like it's missing those things from the Tokyo reveal.
My brother has an NC21 and it's faster than EX500. But is slightly portly at 400lbs. Original ZXR250 weighs in at ~355-lbs, so even lighter than current Ninja 400. So it really didn't need dual front disc-brakes. Hopefully ZX-25R didn't gain any weight over the decades. With same power as VFR400 and less weight, it should be quite formidable machine!

I still like looks of ZXR250 better! It's little clone of ZX7R!
