This is a totally untapped market here in the states. Every August I start looking on the Big Four’s web sites for bikes exactly like this. NO JOY!! Build them now!!!

Keep the 250, I’d like another choice of something cool to ride besides the little Ninja. I’ve already got a Ducati, I don’t need another big 2-cylinder. However, this looks like a fun little bike to zip around town with and head back and forth to work.

I owned an ’83 Hondat VT500 Ascot. Nice bike, a little small for me and a lot underpowered. Looked great. A 250 though? No interest. Make it with the 1800 engine and let me know who to make the cheque out to. Oh yeah, make sure there’s part of the gas tank under the seat. I don’t want to stop every 90 or 100 miles like on my old Ascot.

Keep it a 250. Often, a learner rider has to use a 250 before graduating to a bigger bike, and more often than not, a lightweight 250 gives the same grin factor as a bigger, heavier bike.
