Not a big fan of the banana seat but the pre-gens have them so no biggie. When converted to a race bike that seat won't exist.

you need a banana seat in india because you have to carry 6 passengers and a goat. i would buy one if it was available here.

I think the YZF250 looks like a mini-R6.

The pic above with the banana seat is the R15, so probably not the best representation of what the 250 might look like. |

I just have a hard time figuring out why all the motorcycle companies don't make a 250 four stroke.
They sell like crazy. They are fun to ride. They make all sort of things that sit on showroom floors. Then gets sold cheap at the end of the year. You really can't ride a 125 on the interstate. I mean you can but shouldn't and it is illegal in some places. But a 250 is a real bike. Capable of carrying two people up a hill at 60 mph.

Keep getting great news, first saw the KTM, now a Yamaha! Let's just hope it doesn't have a ridiculous seat height like the R6 lol

I just hope w all this compettion coming into the game, we start to see the HP/Torque numbers rise back up to where they were in the days of the ZZR 250.

The torque numbers were lower than at a similar displacement today. The higher hp numbers were due to 4-cylinders rather than 1 or 2 allowing the bikes to rev much higher than they do today. Revving that high and still meeting emissions constraints on a budget-priced bike is quite a challenge.

As much as I would want this bike I hope it's a total let down because after investing so much time into the Yamasaki I can't possibly see selling it
![]() And no I won't keep two motorcycles for the same purpose it just doesn't make sense to. |

I'll believe it when I see it. I hate getting all excited over all the speculation on bikes...
Right with you there. But look at the Yamaha WR250X engine. It's 250cc and puts out the same power as the Ninjette. It might be okay, it'll just sound like it's farting. |

It looks nasty with the banana seat and body. The ninjette 250 and 300 both look nicer. Only thing thats a bit better then the 250 but not the 300 is the front.

I really like the YZF-R125 styling, so a 250 model would be sweet.

There is a big difference between the (cheap $4000 AU) Indian 150 and the (expensive $7000Au) Japanese R-125
There is nothing wrong with single cylinders, especially when they put out more power than a heavy parallel twin. An R-125 based bike with a wr250 engine would be the sweetest sporty 'lil thing, sadly it will probably be the Indian version. |

Don't see why it took them so long to get in the game. The entry level street bike market is huge. And until Honda got in with the CBR, Kawasaki owned it and there top selling bike was always the ninja 250.
Interested to see how this bike stacks up, if it actually exists :P |

that bike with the WR250x engine would be a very good competitor in our small sport bike segment.
