Because they're street legal in Europe. I doubt that's actually a picture of the one that will be brought here, I imagine that will be fitted with track plastics.

Could be wrong though

The RS 250's were really good handling but a little down on power. I raced against some in teh lightweight twins class on my SV650. There were some black market support parts for them, a 350cc kit, some other stuff that made them pretty hard to deal with on track. Sure the Honda and Yam TZ250's would dust us both both they were alot of fun just overpriced.

This one however looks like it could beat out the Ninja 250 or used 600 as far as a track day toy. Which I need liek a hole in the head. And what Azoom said, full throttle pinned hi in the rpm range and flicking knee to knee, who needs more than that?

Weird.

Probably cheaper than making them track specific, plus then they can make money off the track plastics.
