If that ever comes to America I would probably consider buying it, but if you feel like eating your hair...If that ever comes to America I will eat my own hair.

There is a YZF125 that looks pretty sweet.I think the yellow one above is a photoshop, but didnt Yamaha say something about a YZF250 a while back? not that I think they'd bring it to the states....
You are probably thinking of the YZF125 which also never made it here ...I think the yellow one above is a photoshop, but didnt Yamaha say something about a YZF250 a while back? not that I think they'd bring it to the states....
yeah, its crap. I was talking to Honda about it, they wanted to import it. You can't even take it on the freeway. Its basically a scooter.Ever seen the CBR125RR?
That's hilariously ironic. You'd think that the bike manufacturers would look at the number 1 selling bike in america (the nin250 i believe) and take note. There's a huge market for it (all beginners and plenty of experienced trackers).yeah, its crap. I was talking to Honda about it, they wanted to import it. You can't even take it on the freeway. Its basically a scooter.
I suggested the CBR250RR, the VFR400, The CBR400RR and the CB-1 400F. Skip the 125 crap, go with 250's and 400's.
Honda seemed gobsmacked that anybody knew those bikes existed.

The funny thing is, they were asking for ideas on "how to bring in more entry level riders" and had a CBR125RR sitting there. The only thing I had good to say about the 125 was that it would make a decent MSF trainer bike.That's hilariously ironic.

I'm sure the margin of profit is much larger also but whatever right? lol.
I fully agree. I loved that bike! So much fun!shoot, I wish Suzuki would bring the small Naked Bandit back here. I'd be all over one of those in a heartbeat!
Clearly, you are very American. Living in the land of "bigger is better" its hard to comprehend how less could possibly be more. Little bikes are so much fun to ride.I don't understand what's so cool about getting such a small bike? are you all only 5' tall?
Abso-friggin-lutely! :thumbsup:But if ever have the chance to ride a VFR400 - probably one of my all time favorite bikes of all time - they are glorious machines! Gear driven-cam V-four motor. Such a brilliant motorcycle! So small, so revvy, plenty of torque, and they change direction faster than a trout!
2 for 2, DP!! ;DTo quote a very old adage- its more fun to ride a slow bike fast, than it is to ride a fast bike slow.

See, my original statement stands. You are very American.canyonchaser.............. did you see the other question? are you 5' tall? I'm 6'2" and I have rode a 250 and I don't fit. it's not about how fast it is.... it's the size of the bike
Sage words, sir. I've had the good fortune of owning three of the bikes you mentioned. The CBR400RR, the VFR, and the CB-1. All were an absolute blasts to ride. It's a shame that they aren't here. Unfortunately, there are too many morons around who think 600's are "little" bikes. Oh well, the SV ain't half bad.yeah, its crap. I was talking to Honda about it, they wanted to import it. You can't even take it on the freeway. Its basically a scooter.
