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.

I think the YZF250 looks like a mini-R6.

Release in the India market. No word on when/if it will come to the US.

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.

I'm pretty sure in the last article that was posted in the previous thread they said they got rid of the banana That is just the old original picture! So that's good!

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.

same here, as much time as i spent on my ninja makes it hard to another 250 bike.

but if yamaha ever comes out with this bike, i'll buy one and start putting kawasaki parts on it as a joke.

This is basically the same concept as the gp45 series in the UK. Not bad if done with used parts and such to keep build costs low. Problem is that the yz450 motor makes good power for the weight but its a high strung race motor. Running one on the street would be trick but you would be doing maint much more than a lower tuned street bike motor.

And apparently these builds were around in the club racing scene before Roland Sands got his hands on em.

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.

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

Too true, though even the Indian version is a very competent bike in it's own right. The banana boat version was replaced a while back with a split seat unit. It's a sweet looking bike with an amazing frame. The only thing letting it down is the underpowered engine. Just google R15 V2.0
