That's a slick looking bike.

Cool bike. But will it be available in the US?

They want to bring the bike over to the US to give people another entry level option

Good. It's about time the US riders had more small bike options. I just wish we had slightly larger options--350-400cc. They had bikes over here that size in the '70s.

I'm afraid there's some silly reason why the bike is just under 250cc's (249.4!) instead of a better size, like 350 or 400. Probably has to do with import rules, tariffs, etc.

If it was a 400 I could see it stealing a lot of sales from the Ninja 250, but with less power I think it will mostly get sales from its cool new look.

And why ABS on such a lightweight bike?
And the fuel tank is only 3.4 gallons versus the Ninja's 4.8 g
