MAn most 250 bikes are average looking but if this is for real man how cool would it be to be a new biker with a bit of cash.

Yeah I would have to agree with ya there, but it would be seriously awesome if a new I4 250 was released. Wonder how much better they can get that my bike these days.

Looks like the front of a 636 with the zx10 tail section and yes twin pipes (Which is the big indicator because the free flow doesn't need to be that big on a 250 as well as the added weight would seriously hinder performance)

Also, how many single sided swigarmed bikes have a pipe on each side?

I agree, although if you view it actual size it does look like a scan from a mag. If you look at the front fairing it looks like it has bleed through from the other side of the page.

Huh there is no rear brake on this side and if you notice just above the hugger there is a pipe (i assume rear break) going down the other side. Wierd.

My one puts out 45hp at the crank, so what can 15 years of new technology do? Must be able to do 50 atleast. But i can't see it happening.

Another thing i noticed, it has radial front brakes, lol, yeah right.

I'd still like to see Aprilia put out a 4stroke 250. Maybe a shrunken Mille, mmmm :cool2:

All that bike needs now is a '3D mass printer' Photoshop plug-in, and you could be riding away with a smile on your face...

What are radial front brakes?

Or do you just mean twin front discs?

Radial front brake design utilizes mounting points at both the top and bottom of the caliper, with the mounting bolts inserted through the rear of the caliper instead of the side or front as on conventional designs. This setup makes the caliper more rigid to improve brake feel over a wider range of operation.

Kwaka put twin pipes on the ZZR250 didn't they? so it wouldn't be the first time for them.

Just thought about it and, seeing as 250's are a decent sized market, why arn't manufacturers reproducing/improving the 250's and 400's for that matter (except honda's viffer400)?? Cause in japan thier first licence is allowed up to a 400 so why arn't newer IMPROVED models coming out?? Sur a zx10r is the same size as my zxr400 but i would certainly kill myself on the 10 just doesn't make sense????

Yes, on a trip from London to Le Mans a friend of mine sat at 100mph the whole way, with luggage. The bike seemed to handle it quite well.

Not blinding performance, but capable for an inline twin cylinder 250.

We had the same thing when we all cruised past a couple on an older GSXR11 doing the ton. He caught up at the Ferry terminal at Calais and was quite surprised.
