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.

That's the best looking 250 by far. Should be more of it :D :D :D

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 :P

If they do bring it here it would be an instant hit IMO. also the USA has a ZX5R (ninja5r :shock: ) or summin like that so I understand. So that might be the 4 that Pontikat is on about! Dunno?

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. :D :D :D

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..

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