If I remember reading right the reason that the European ninjas had EFI is because their Enviromental standards are higher there then they are here that is why ours has carbs to lower the cost. So I don’t think EPA is the reason. Plus I don’t think it would be that hard to eliminate emissions and keep power.
Also, Kawasaki’s top selling bike has been the Ninja 250 even when it had the outdated style. I would think that other manufacturers would see this and maybe try and produce something and make some money off this market. This would also keep motorcyclists alive to buy another bigger bike later.
Canada is selling the CBR125 and it is doing really well there. I wouldn’t be surprised if a YZF-R125 shows up in Canada too.
I don’t really understand the whole bigger is better thing anyway. Going 180mph doesn’t seem to practical to me. Yeah bigger bikes have better styling but the new Ninja 250 looks pretty darn good and a lot of people mistake it for a bigger bike.
I really think that the U.S. should adopt something like the tiered licensing. It makes a lot of sense. Doesn’t it?
nobeeParticipantThey do look awesome. I won’t get my license until August so I’m going to see what I can find used near the end of the season. Hopefully I can find one cheaper because they don’t want to have to deal with storing it over the winter.

I’m not a “Bigger is better” kind of person. Just getting a motorcycle is a really big step for me. A lot of people tell me they can’t see me getting a motorcycle and I can’t wait to prove them wrong. I’m really excitied about all of it. I’ve started buying some gear that I have found on sale for pretty cheap. I really want to get the 08 Ninja 250R because its small and it still looks sweet. I plan on sticking with it for a while because the only reason I would get a bigger motorcycle is because of looks and the 08 covers that for me. Honestly, when do you need to go 180mph?
Very good point with the saying. I have heard of guys with 250s beating guys that ride 600s in a race through the twisties.
