I saw these two bikes posted somewhere abotu a week ago. One looks pretty weak but the other seemed like it migt be a decent mid size bike.

I quite like the looks of them. doubt we get them here but considering that motorcycle is still the main family car for most non G8 countries it should prove its worth.

At 300cc I am sure these are not for the US.

we do still have plenty of 250's around but they tend to have some better output than this. I will contend that this looks nicer than the Honda 250 or the Ninja.

I am not in the market (I have plenty of scars to prove my years of riding) but it is nice to see more competition out there.

If you are taking about street bikes, I am shocked you have "plenty of 250's" where you live. I went to show my daughter 250 street bikes since she wants to learn to ride on the steet, and all I could find in the three major dealerships in my area was one used 250.

not necissarily in my area per se but there are a few manufacturors still making 250's in a street bike. No doubt dealers keep few of them in stock because I am sure they are low volume but they are technically available.

There are always dirt bikes
