HOLY MOTHER OF.............. NINJA........... IT'S A ZXR-250!!!!! The little I4 ninjette that never made it to the states in any shape or form. That's one of my 'issues' with big 4 Japanese companies for never letting us Americans have a taste of those little rockets. I mean come on, a ninjette with close to 45hp compared to the twin's 24hp. That thing is a beast of a 250 and I so want one. |

I think the states/EPA wont allow such polluting bike but u can source this kind of bike through grey import. With your higher currency exchange, it would be much cheaper! ZXR400 better.. (thailand would be happy to help you) here are some ol' pic + RS125. Me, 2nd from left. |

After the big Dallas storms, she's sitting at my dealers service dept since Friday awaiting the Pirelli Sp. Demons to be installed. Storms knocked out all electricity so no service. Great weekend for riding and the bike is still inside waiting.. waiting.. waiting... power should be on for them Monday and I should get back to riding Monday nite... this does not make me happy...

As for the ZXR400, after reading up on it, it was considered not worth the money for them since they were only slightly faster. At least that's what I've read, and the numbers seem to support it. The 250 is said to have the same acceleration to 60mph as the 400 and only like 5mph lower top speed. How accurate that is I don't know but I've seen those numbers on numerous sites. Also, the USA isn't all that great with the 'gray' imports. But one day when I have the money I'd like to see about doing it anyway just to do it. |

On the road, 4 strokes bikes more suitable. I've ridden the ZX4 and i am definitely know that you will love it! How we wish USA get the same bike as we do because.. u guys will sure to produce powerfull & beautiful add-ons! Dynojet, wheels, carbon fairing, shocks & lost of other things.. Currently, we only can rely 'special' parts from japan & australia. But for the Ninja 250R, parts from the states are coming in Here are some pic.. 1000 K5 are as the same size as ZXR250.. sombo : someday, if i could, i'll help you to bring this I4 250 into the states. i like your spirit. |

currently, 2nd hand price is between Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) 11,500 ~ 14,500. As USD 1 = MYR 3.258, its between USD 3200 ~ 4100. The price is like a new brand bike. It has been like this since 12 years ago! Well sometime u might get a USD 2400 bike, but it has to be repair here & there. I think the price will drop in another year or two. p/s: ZXR250 was released here only once. Circa 96-97. The model was C6. |

The full custom vinyl wraps seen on the last page if anyone has any artistic prowess and wants them designed for them I can have them made for you. Through sportisi of course. There are endless possibilities and it is certainly cheaper than painting.

Saturn Sky Redline, same as Pontiac Solstice GXP (I don't think you get that either), and the Opel GT (probably not that either). No need to worry as all of these cars will no longer be produced at the end of the year.

Ryan, since Saturn was bought out and saved, maybe there's hope for it?

No such luck sorry. Saturn won't have many legacy cars surviving and the Wilmington, DE plant that produces the Solstice/Sky/GT is set to close next month. Penske's plan is to import cars from Samsung (rebadged Nissans and Renaults) and rebadge them as Saturns. Confused yet?
It stinks because the Solstice GXP was one of the few cars that I would like to buy right now. |

I hate the rebadged thing! My second car was a '89 Dodge Colt, but really it was a Mitsubishi Miarage - the engine, key, and everything but the title said Mitsu, and it had an imported for dodge thing on the back of it - so lame!
ok- back to best pic topic

During that period, Mitsu couldn't sell their cars so they had to sell their cars or parts to other manufacturer to rebadge. Mitsu Starion/Chrysler Conquest and Mitsu 3000gt/Dodge Stealth

Don't worry the G8 is going away here too, but I do like that as well. Just not really looking for a sedan right now.
But I digress. Back to the topic. |

Look closely and you will find that the G8 is the same as the bmw 5 series.
Not exactly the same but they share the same chassis and other components. The G8 is manufactured by Holden in Aussie, brought to NA and rebadge as a Pontiac G8. GM also owns Holden. |

Wrong there is nothing from BMW on a G8. They are about the same size, but that's it.
Holden does make the G8 and it will continue in Australia (lucky devils ), but not here. |
