I hope it comes to nz, sounds like Britain is going to get it.
So any Yamaha importer listening, bring them to New Zealand they'll go out fast I reckon.

Yes they may well sell ok but I suspect they'd be too expensive, I reckon about $5K should stop that bike, perhaps $5.5K for the faired one.
Shit a 19.2 litre tank! You would'nt need to fill it for a month....

[Spyke]

I think they are fuel injected.
lol yeah you could definitely go the distance on it!
they may not be to expensive as they are designed for the indian market and lots will be made?

Looks to me they have taken the styling from the cbf 250 - similar power too.

[Metalor]

Looks like a good learners bike. 19.2 litre fuel capactiy!!! Surely that has to be 9.2?

Just looks like a tarted up Scorpio with a big bore kit.

[McWild]

I would be surprised if we got it since we already have the Scorpio.
Looks really nice though, and a nice thumpy single in a sporty frame, hard to go wrong there.

Just looks like a tarted up Scorpio with a big bore kit.

And some plastic covers and alloy wheels.

[EJK]

The engine case looks very familiar... The twin tube frame, twin piston brake, drum rear brake with long metal rod, foldable footpeg, forks, and the headlight is exactly the same parts from the Scorpio.

When I read Fazer 250, I thought it was an updated version of the original FZ250 Fazer (4-cylinder mid-80's).

What they should do is build a 250-twin version of the YZF-R125. Something really sporty but good learners machine to compete with the Ninja 250R.

theres a larger cc fazer at my local yammy. really sweet looking bike. i wouldnt say no to the 250 version if i didnt already have the virago.
