So who would actually buy a Zx2r? - Page 2

Kawasaki produces a nice 450 single engine for dirt bikes that produces almost 55hp. In road race trim the bike weigh about 250 pounds. It shouldn't be too difficult to build a 300lb 50hp street bike that I would buy:

The engines they use in those are not fit for street use at all.
Unless you don't mind constantly doing oil changes and valve adjustments that is.

They could make something like that, but with everything required to get that power and weight it would be in a price range where no one would buy it.

Make it a ZX4-R, make it as pretty as the 250R, and I'm in.

Now if they made it look more like the 6R and maybe even slimmed down the pasanger seat to look like a the Yamaha R6. That would be the perfect bike.

Forgive my lack of photoshop skills, but here is what I think a Yamasaki YZX R-250-R would look like.

And to think he was not far off from a 300 with out ever seeing one lol
