There's an article in Stuff today. It looks like a fun little bit of kit.

Do the survey folks.

Yes but with everything it's got it's twice the bike. BPF front end, traction control, quickshifter, etc etc. It ain't a Ninja 400 or similar, it's a small cc version of a proper sportsbike.
Disclaimer - I don't necessarily believe all those things are needed on a bike but I can understand why it makes it cost more.
It's missing some of the proper sportsbike kit though like an aluminium frame. Also the rear suspension appears unadjustable and possibly even the front though it is good to see BPF upside downers. I'm not trying to knock it, it's great to see but it appears to be still built to a price point. Which is fine if you are selling it for around the 12K mark.
Yep, if it is in the mid to high teens then it will make the forthcoming Aprilia RS660 (est RRP 20K) look like a steal! I dont think many people would pay that sort of coin for a 250cc bike. I would be curious to know what the original 250 fours sold for back in the day?I think from memory the GSXR's were quite reasonable buying.
And they DID have an aluminium frame and twin front discs and adjustable suspension blah blah blah
Gsxr400g GK71B were $6100 in '84, which is probably like 20k today. Rod Coleman tried to secure another shipment, but they were going to have to retail at around $10,000, which put them out of the game, so we only ever got one lot.
They were alloy frame, four piston calipers, monoshock rockets.
I had a '81 GSX750 at the time & these things ran rings around it.
i see they are doing preorder's for them, $15995 if they get enough interest

Yeah good on em for giving the riding public a chance at least. Will be interesting to see how they go getting the numbers in this current economic climate.
16K is a shite load of dosh for a 250cc bike, you'd have to be keen. That's exactly twice the current price of a black Ninja 400. Twice the bike? Hmmm.
If only I had $16,000 to spare...
