Anyone expecting this bike to be a high revving exciting screamer is going to be disappointed I think. Given Honda's direction with recent bikes (NC700X, CBR250R, etc.) this will be a budget, economical "rational" bike with easy road manners and a low red line optimized for economy and torque over outright HP.

The totem pole will be CBR250R if you want economy and lowest entry price, Ninja 300 if you want a more expensive high revving screamer, CBR500 if you want an even more expensive bike with a bit more power and usable torque for everyday riding, and the Ninja 650 if you want more of everything.
