Looks awesome any sign of a zx4r in 05 ?. Janelle would love to see one.
I agree totally they should bring em out here as well as the 400. Be great for learners to get Kwikas in their blood early n promote brand loyalty.
Cheers Brett

Looks like a tweeked and fiddled with 03/04 636 (in other words fanfuggentastic) only smaller.

The biggest problem is, would you pay $10k or maybe more for a 250?
Remember when Honda was selling the CBR250's here?
They were $10k back then or around the same as a then current 600.
I know I wouldn't pay $10k for a 250.

Maybe it is a shop n chop thing, on the tank it says" wank.net" or was that wang dot net
If they do bring it here it would be an instant hit IMO. also the USA has a ZX5R (ninja5r
) or summin like that so I understand. So that might be the 4 that Pontikat is on about! Dunno?

Looks great but they couldn't make money from them here is Australia... I gotta agree with Gizmo on this one...

That would be "Ninja 500" or EX-500. Think GPZ500S.
Regarding the too-fiddy, be nice if it's real. Be even nicer if we got it. Unfortunately, I agree with the others saying it'd be uneconomical.

They are basically a GPX500.

looks like a photochopped 6r to me but if it did exsist I am sure there would be some importers more than willing to put some on the secondhand lot.
Probably a good idea really a learner legal 6r/10r clone get get the brand going early.
Or you could call it a baby barra.

You must be kidding, twin pipes, adjustable swingarm and shock mounts, radial brakes, dual damper mounts and mirror blinkers... not to mention what looks suspiciously like a singled sided swingarm..
Some one has way to much time on there hands... Tell em there dreamin...

Mirror blinkers and units mounted on the fairing gotta show which way your turning, nice concept pic though
