For LRRS club racing, I think so. Probably allowed for other CCS sanctioned series. Middle Weight Supersport: 4 cyl up to 640cc Middle Weight Superbike: 4 cyl up to 660cc Looks like Kawi’s sale tactics is to one up eveyone on displacement to boost sales. ---

Yeah, does look very sharp. With that look and a 300cc engine and if they price it smart, I don’t see anyone buying the cbr250 over the Ninja. That is if you can see pass the fact that spending $4500 for a new 250 is crazy to begin with. ---

That is if you can see pass the fact that spending $4500 for a new 250 is crazy to begin with. The plastics have been made more like a 600 so you can swap out parts maybe there will even be track plastics for these. ---

I’m going to assume the 250 will be phased out with the 300cc fuel injection and maybe just use the same styling cues as the new redesign. I’d definitely like to give the new 636 a test run once it hits the market. ---

It’s been confirmed the FI Ninja 300 will be coming to the US, and will have the same styling as the new Ninja 250R It’s a damn shame the new Z800 ain’t coming to the US … that thing is sexy! ![http://i.imgur.com/tYtCH.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/tYtCH.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/CmKlT.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/CmKlT.jpg) ---

Z800 looks pretty cool, but really all too busy around the motor. And that pillion seat looks painful. What are those triangle things on the ninja 300 mounted next to the mirrors? Front license plate mounts? ---
