as far as Honda is concerned I dont think they want to outrace or outsell the baby ninja. I think this is a place to make back all their single cyl Moto3 R&D...
I don't think its gonna have a thing for the ninjette. Double valve area and a broader powerband make much more difference than that slight weight difference. Vtr250 would have been closer, though I think Ps rev a lil quicker than Vs
